Wow! That is awesome! See we can still do things after 50! Love it!

Yep. Been living here for under ten years, and man, it really took me off-guard when I first arrived. People here value friendliness over good character, I think that’s the crux of it. That, and Minnesotans view everything as a moral binary, but will make excuses for people who display bad character because they’re afraid to accept that there is evil in the world. Unless said person breaks the mold in some way, in which case they’re ceaselessly judgmental. I feel like I’m living in Mars.

Your message today about the "Christian Kiss-off" reminded me of a recent Rotary speaker on the topic of grief that parlays well as a caring and nutritious response and/or question (preferably delivered verbally) for someone struggling or hurting. "Do you need to be heard, hugged, or helped?" I think that question quickly gets right to the heart of the person. Understandably, as a guy to a guy , that may feel awkward using the word "hugged" in certain relationships. If that's the case, omit "hugged"!

Great devotional today! “Don’t half ass it.” Wish I could get away with saying that in my church devotional. :)

Thanks Erik for the message today about fear and seeking/praying for God's wisdom for those inevitable challenges and difficult decisions we all face. It reminded me of another positive message (below) I read some time ago from a source I don't recall. The Bible shows how he (Jesus) chose stillness over distraction, community over shame, surrender over fear, delight over cynicism, humility over self-importance, gratitude over victimhood, and service over complacency.

Now this video is focused on Minnesota “ nice “ but it could also be extended to Midwest “ nice “ as well !

Minnesotans have become so consumed with protecting people's feelings they no longer value the truth, not to offend any liberals but there is a such thing as too liberal 😄

Are we resting after doing the circuit?!! No rests... 😉😁

100% self serving cowards hiding behind obliged manners

Man, you get it

Minnesota, the origin of passive aggressive behavior.

I like nice and lived in many places. The city minnesotans are the worst. Terrified of offending people, especially constant criminals, because of their race. Stands up for them more so than their own people. Zero sense of personality or style, it's all about fitting in and being liked. I notice the two faced- ness about these ppl too. Could it be theyre so desperate to be liked and that gullible? It's hard to tell, but the same theme.

MINN ICE NOT NICE

Minnesota nice is euphemism for stuck up

IF you appreciate clannish behaviors, home spun false sincerity, smug people & more white guilt than Betty White can shake a lutefisk casserole at, Mn. is for you!!! ➕ They successfully defunded the Mpls. Police Dept. due to “systemic racism.” Hard to believe, but now they’re crying that they’re not enough police & they’re calling that racism. If you just met someone & they told you they have two personalities, you’d run, but this is acceptable behavior in the Twin Cities. Read the Script/Lock Step “nothing but harmony exists in Sanctuary Cities” OR ELSE ➕ Minnesotans voted for infamous, anit-Semite, incestuous, embezzling Illhan Omar 2X’s knowing her wretched past/present behaviors. There once descent schooling system has now shamelessly plummeted into the sad abyss of CRT (everybody’s inherently racist?) while telling your child to keep there new venomous knowledge from there parents. Definitely a blissful sanctuary city for criminals. Recently, a Cuban Undocumented man with such a long list of criminal activity that not even Cuba would take him back. Adding to his long nightmarish list he should of been in jail after several recent domestic assault charges & setting fire to his apt., but an Mn. judge saw him fit to be let out which he than decides to decapitate his girlfriend (in broad daylight in a car) with a machete, on a thoroughfare, no one suspected a thing…..that’s so Minnesota. They never see, hear, say anything until it affects them personally. Than it’s everyones problem!!! Not to mention the insane amount of car jackings & out breaks of early morning/evening burglaries at (appropriately named) Target stores in which everyone in the community talks about, but you never hear about on the local news. However, they will go into great lengths in telling you all about the juggler at the Renaissance Festival that broke his arm because that’s “relevant, in-depth, courageous journalism.” It’d be laughable if this beautiful state didn’t continue to burn in its own self-edifying Mn.Nice B.S. NOTHING TO SEE HERE KIDS…next……..

I knew I wasn't the only one that felt this way about this place.

The Midwest. It’s in The Middle.

Admit it learn from it and move on.

No no no, you suck <3

I cant stop watching this, it is too fantastic ^3^

Minnesotans are phony and overrated

Minnesota sucks, it’s a joke.

They are the worst people ever. Even the conservatives are dumbfucks. They're overzealous envious pieces of shit. Especially the people from Alexandria.

Moved to California for 4 years. Moved back...and I'm so disappointed in this state.

It sucks. Especially Alexandria and Detroit Lakes. They are cliquey and selfish. Bunch of stupid ass liberals and even the conservatives are stupid. And they are fake as fuck.

Muslims suck and so does Minnesota. Fuck Minnesota and liberals.

They're fake....only new Yorkers are the best

Actually some research says the brain works better on ketones...im doing it for a month now and I feel much better than before.

Minnesota is the most miserable place in the union!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the hard truth......Mn. nice is a tolerance agenda propagated by the liberal democrats so that you put up with all the shit imported immigrants bring there.

Nice! 💪💪👍

the lats are not part of the upper back.

spot on

"Mn Nice" is a myth.

Right on 100%. That's why I hate this state.

What if I can't even do ONE pull up?? :(

Great video..how did you know I needed thoracic flexibility!?!? :)

Take care of your neck! Have Ridiculapathy (pinched nerve) and it not only causes weakness but can cause numbing and PAIN. Everybody should do this excersize.

No mobility in my neck this week....IT MATTERS! Thanks for the reminder, Erik.

Great tip!
