Presumably pronounced cham-PAG-nee.

As someone who works for an organization that helped build that button, variations on this thought occur to me like 500 times a day.

It drives me crazy enough when if I have to watch German movies with English subtitles because my brain doesn’t know which language to think in. Listening to German while reading in English is next level.

I truly don’t get this. The night I met my husband we discussed bicycles (what? It’s Minneapolis) politics, religious beliefs, and wanting kids. I think we may have talked about all of these things before I stood up and he realized I don’t come up to his chin.

Right?! Living here and having opinion is tantamount to saying that you’re actually the sort of person who has considered putting up an “all lives matter sign.”

We don’t go on reality TV. I haven’t watched most seasons but had to watch this one and I swear to god they found the most boring people here.

It makes sense given their deluded belief that hard work is the only thing required for success combined with a staggering lack of empathy.

My seven year old is making me keep some of her cutest clothes for when she has a daughter (I mean assuming we have a society left, but I don’t tell her that). She also says she wants to live with me forever and I tell her she’s allowed to but she can change her mind too.

Oxytocin. Nothing beats snuggles and watching her learn and grow. I love my child so much that it’s 100% worth it, even if I end the day with the executive functioning of a squirrel.

Making Jane Austen proud. Except the shoes, which are an abomination.

You can’t actually be a liberal if you don’t support investing resources in a functioning civil society. Back when I was dating (please never again), I filtered out guys who didn’t identify as liberal. Not going to so much as grab a coffee. Hard pass.

It’s not any less weird for those of us who live here. Fortunately they mostly live in the suburbs so I don’t usually talk to them.

And clearly Minneapolis has some serious issues, but the people who live here vote Democrat by a large margin. My mpls neighborhood was 90% for Harris (only 10% of people I need to glare at). Also I swear we have personalities.

As someone who dated and got married in Minneapolis (okay we got married in St. Paul because cheaper venue), these dudes definitely remind of the men I ignored on dating sites. I also wonder how much of it is just that Midwestern women are too polite to date on camera. Am I kidding? Not sure.

The whole premise is so manipulative and we condition women to be polite to men. I can’t imagine being filmed while dating, especially if I were talking to someone I couldn’t see. Plus people who are willing to go on reality tv are never a representative sample.

I wonder how much of it is because they’re on camera and feel uncomfortable calling them out. Granted my dating technique was to try to scare most men off by telling them things like any kids I have will have my last name (and my daughter does)
