Lol drive in traffic with no tags u get a $90 ticket but if your homeless u pay $750. Makes since...

Congrats.. its now a crime to suffer.

How do you quantify loneliness?

I’ve had a decent experience with Bibi. I’ve definitely had worse

If you can tap into the country/southern rock scene for a night southbound is a decent bar/grill on the weekends for live music.

Transylvania for local Metal/Hard rock. Real fun band

Next they'll want to put all the homeless people together in one place. Like in a camp or something. You know, kind of concentrate them together. Wonder what such a place would be called...

covers moustache with clipboard where would that be, my groove cat?

I just get mine through my GP. I did get diagnosed through a neuropsych though, all through Mercy.

Thank you for the thorough answer. I'll look into 1606.

Well, you've tried to pull a sneaky there though. You're not clarifying your first point at all, you're pivoting to a different one. You've gone from "cars are inherently isolating" to "the structure of cities built with cars in mind is isolating." Your second point is more relevant to the thread, and there's some merit to it.

On the other hand, it seems like the ideal I see put forth of "walkable neighborhoods" and "mixed-use spaces" is predicated on everyone working in a coffee shop, a grocery store, or a nice office.

That's fine, but if I'm a mechanic I don't necessarily want to live next to the diesel shop, or a warehouse worker next to a fullfillment center, and if I work in waste management...well, you get the point. Factory workers used to live in dormitories at their worksite, and no one wants to go back to that, I assume.

So, yes, urban planning and infrastructure, including mass transit, is welcome and warrented, but it's never going to be as practicable or widespread as proponents want it to be. And it's not going to cure all of society's ills, including loneliness.

What about recreational camping on state land? is that okay cause wealthy yuppies do it in Patagonia and NorthFace and Columbia gear with selfies?

Try only working five days a week. If your chosen vocation requires excessive working days, change your vocation.

So the fine can only be issued to repeat "offenders" after an alternative option (like an emergency shelter) is offered by the state. If they can't pay the fine (issued following their express refusal to attend a viable emergency shelter(which Springfield lacks)) they can elect to serve time in jail or in a work program for the state. The bill (Missouri House Bill 1606) is absolutely bonkers and it's worth reading the sections on homelessness.

Also in the bill: Complete cuts of state funding to permanent housing providers. Allows the state to allocate federal funding and GRANTS away from permanent housing providers. Gives permission to the attorney general (a wild boy) to sue any city that is not adhering to the new laws dictated in 1606.

There is an immense amount of strange stuff written into the homeless language of 1606. I encourage everyone once again to look some of it over.

Cool I’ll check ‘em out, thanks

Awesome, thank you for the info

Whatever anyone does: do NOT see Dr James Bright in the Plaza Towers building. He is an arrogant, belittling, condescending doorknob with eyes. When I tell him the Med isn’t working he just raises it until it’s at its highest mg and THEN when u STILL complain about not liking how the Med makes u feel, he will simply ADD another pill!

That's the point. It's another cycle for people to get trapped in.

How do they expect people to be able to afford the fine?

On the Scene lists all of the shows in town, every week. They have a website and a Facebook page.

Molly Healey, Ben Miller, Pat Kay, MK Ultra for traditional instruments made weird. Think folk songs with cigar box guitars and cellos ran through loopers and synths.

I. V. King is currently in lesbian revenge pop royalty mode, and is one of the area's most talented artists. The Shandies for a more folky bent.

Brandon Moore, Jimmy Rea, and all of their various projects for funky bluegrassy bouncy Ozarks music. Justin Larkin for more of that kind of thing with a dirtier, grittier feel.

Shaun Munday, Randall Shreve, Averill Cates for one-man-band amazingness. Funk, "Showman" (idk how else to describe it, his latest album reminds me of a circus ringleader in all the best ways), and Gothic Folk are their genres.

Red Light Runner, the Mixtapes, Rosy Hips, and Just a Phase for covers of everything on the radio in the last 40 years.

I know less about the local metal scene, but Mortal Review fucking shreds.

The Many Colored Death, Steve Ames, Hamburger Cows, Seth Darby, the Sauce, Sister Lucille, Shotgun Brothers, Hillbenders, Paralandra, all very talented bands and artists worth their ticket price.

We're absolutely spoiled for talent in this town.

Edit: there are a couple places for jazz, the Dugout does an open mic night that sees a bunch of old-timers play with college students, Lindberg's just started up a jazz night, and one of the breweries downtown hosts a jazz night, I think Hold Fast?

There’s a black people subreddit. Does that also shock you?

Yes please do!

Yeah, my doctor had recommended them to me, which is insane! Eustasis must spend a lot of money to get providers to recommended them or something.

Anyway, I was recommended bibi health, so I will let you know my thoughts on them
