Married, so not much help on the dating scene, sorry about that one. I fall pretty libertarian politically and socially, and the “don’t be a shitty person” rules pretty much apply. Been here 2 years , moved for work during the pandemic, and we’re planning on staying for a while. Springfield is very much about how much work you’re willing to put into being a part of it, I think. I’ll admit, 100% of my friends are either from work or spouses of work friends, but I’m ok with that. I don’t have time for much else and I work with great people. There are plenty of people to be friends with. If you’re a regular somewhere, people remember you. Customer service, while spotty, can also blow you away because people are genuinely just trying to make their day a little better by making other peoples days better. Traffic SUCKS, but it sucks basically everywhere. Good food, though we’re missing a good Pho, Vietnamese, and honestly, good tacos (don’t @ me haters, I have my preferences and Springfield ain’t got it). If you’re willing to put yourself in awkward situations as a first timer, there’s book clubs, bars groups, sewing clubs, yoga classes, gyms, and tons of outdoor groups. Pick a hobby, someone else here has it, and you can find people to hang with. You just have to be willing to try new things. As a note though, this is kind of my philosophy on lots of things. Also, if you want, people will leave you TF alone, and that’s great to me too. In my neighborhood, we all spy on each other, but leave each other alone. We like it.

There is no drink that will magically make you pass a drug test. THC metabolites are already in your blood stream and urine and nothing will remove them besides just waiting for your own body to remove them while you cease smoking well before a drug test.

"Detoxing" products are snake oil, placebo at best and a waste of money

No, they post men they encountered who wound up assaulting them, have recent criminal reports for similar behavior (assault, domestic violence, rape), or have threatened them. It’s to put out a warning knowing the male, who already posted their photos publicly on tinder or whatever dating site, might not be a safe person. There are over 15,000 women in the group. It’s not a few women who can’t catch a date.

I can’t say some women don’t misuse it, but the admins moderate the content posted. There are strict rules that get you banned such as “I hate men” or certain language.

As a person who has been assaulted more than one person from dating despite researching beforehand and even meeting them through work/school, I think it’s helpful. I disagree with it being male exclusive.

Check out “blast her bro” on fb if you need its counterpart.

i think on the contrary that old people prove to be very fragile and stubborn people especially the midwestern population. they're resilient in their beliefs.

but to say to yourself, it is what it is, or "the grass isn't always greener on the other side" is to sell yourself short on what life actually has to offer. to have lived in one place your entire life is the definition of sheltered and insulated. you'd have to be resilient to let yourself live that way. i met iraqis who were the same way. it's why they didn't leave the country. 'family lived here for thousands of years'. sure, see how that worked out for them now too.

i couldn't do that to myself or my family.
