Cool, isn’t this the track that also features Kendrick Lamar? Probably not a big deal, he’s not really known for speaking up publicly when he feels wronged, right?

I suspect it was this one that already was. https://lemmy.world/post/18705908

They already are calling them paid vacations or indoctrination trips on Facebook.

My wife is one of the students that went on the trip with them the year she graduated, and apparently he speaks some Mandarin (if you asked him, he referred to it as “baby mandarin” at that point.)

She tells a story about a moment not long after they arrived in China that was basically straight out of the movies. Their shuttle buses pulled up, and the two drivers were speaking in Mandarin to each other and bad mouthing the students and adults, and generally just being kind of rude and he walked up to them and said in Mandarin something to the effect of “Hey Guys, how’s it going? Is there some sort of issue?” and their faces just blanched. The company apparently then sent out other shuttle bus drivers to pick them up and take them to where they were staying.

According to my wife, he did regularly dress it up

He had a replica Terra Cotta Warrior statue. It’s still at the school. He taught in a Chinese American experience school for a while after graduation and then would take students on a 2 week long trip to China at the end of the year when he taught in Mankato. (My wife was a student of his and we live in the community.)

I also remember around the same time seeing Bear Wizz Beer, Dicken’s Cider, & co-ed naked “insert sport” t-shirts.

Ah, so they’re just a collection of Schrödinger's douchebags.

That’s not better.

Joe is amazing. It’s my primary editor.

Dems in array!

WordStar is the reason I like the text editor Joe. It functions very similarly out of the box and even has a WordStar specific flavor.

Interesting choice to defend at minimum their homophobic attacks against the first openly gay candidate as “civility handwringing”.

As a 3x resident of Minnesota (moved for schooling with family 2 different times then moved back both times) You can always add more blankets or clothing to stay warm you can only take so many clothes off when it gets too hot. It’s a pretty great state.

At least until they kill the product in 18 months

Every accusation is a confession

Haven’t you ever seen the shows where they help people overcome their addictions? The first step is removing them from their current environment so that they’re not triggered to relapse.

Same, but I have a feeling Peggy Flanagan will do well in his stead. She was part of the groups that used to coach others at the Wellstone Political training camps that Tim Walz went to before he started running.

That’s why they won’t let him campaign in Davenport, Iowa

There’s a certain mindset in the upper Midwest in general (mostly in Boomer, Gen X, and less but still present in elder Millennials) where a large portion of our “independents“ are people for whom their centrism isn’t ideological politically, but is more opposed to a single party having all of the control or more open to outsiders like Jesse Ventura. I have seen many of these individuals (I live in MN) and talked to them and their opinions are fairly left leaning, but because there is a fear that they may not even recognize, they will vote cross party on a ticket because they see that is some sort of balance.

I think Walz can still appeal to those individuals.

Was that all the farther you read, or just felt like cherry picking that one only?
