Cooter, MO puts on quite the show, feller. Rudy Dubaker decorates his one tooth and whistles “Jingle Bells” at passers-by in the town square. Now, that there is entertainment!

What’s the World Cup?

Ladies and gentlemen, get your downvotes ready.

I don’t get the hype. I genuinely don’t. People freak out over the newest fast food joint because “this one’s different bro.” (And yes I’ve had whataburger. Just another fast food joint IMO)

The thing is it’s just more of the same for Springfield, more shitty fast foods, box stores, strip malls, car dealerships, etc. People had the same reaction when Costco came to town, it was the talk of the town. But these companies come in, drain community finances for a few decades, then leave. It’s how it always goes. And look what they do to the town, too. Every strip with the insane amounts of fast food and whatnot are hideous and just terrible to be in.

It’s in part why I left Springfield. The absurdity of the culture around these sorts of things (in this case, waiting way too long in a line of cars for the lowest common denominator of American cuisine). This kind of development was a drain on my mental health and yet everyone around me celebrated it.

I’ve noticed that younger children are becoming smarter each year. Universal preschool would give them the chance to grow more intelligent at a younger age and, in my opinion, improve their transition to full day schooling that comes during Kindergarten and onward.

I’ve always wondered why public colleges cost tens of thousands to attend. Why does it cost so much to obtain a degree that is so crucial and beneficial to our economy and society? I would love universal college education but that’s a hard drive with conservatives. I would definitely start with free community college and trade schools. We need more electricians, welders, mechanics, and stem workers. Those are all departments that students would be able to obtain a degree in from a community college or tech school.

Chinese chef for me

All you did was prove your opinion on restaurants is worthless.

This 100%.

So much of this reddit and particularly the MO reddit basically is "Why wont those horrible backwards ism/ist/phobe bigots vote the way I tell them to?!?!" The disdain is enough to immediately turn those people off to any points of agreement and often makes them want to do the exact opposite.

There were so many comments I ran into on this subreddit for the voting up to prop 3 (whatever the recreational weed legalization one was) about bashing ignorant MAGA types that were going to vote against the prop. I know quite a few MAGA types who are heavy pot users and were 100% voting to legalize here. That could have been an opportunity to talk and find something in common, but of course hard lefties here couldnt get out of their own head.

I know at certain points I've been so irked by some of the hard lefties on here when they toss out the various ist/ism accusations that I want to do/vote for whoever they oppose out of spite. Sometimes I stop myself and try to think about their points/overall message and separate it from who is saying it, but that's pretty damned difficult - and most people won't bother to do that.

Because it isn't true in the slightest.

When raising canes first opens they had police out there directing traffic. Now it’s barely a line at lunch.

I’m not sure why people line up to give their time to a corporation.

All public transit in KC is free.

Someone tell us about Thai Express

Thai Express owner is a whiny attention whore. But you'll only get downvoted for saying that on this subreddit.

I understand that. We’re all just doing the best we can with the situations we were born into.

That made me think of another couple questions:

Do you support universal, state-funded preschool?

Do you support universal (or subsidized) college/trade schools?

Leave Brad Pitt alone! If you want traffic, recent trends show all you need to do is build a Whataburger.

Then tell us which bars and restaurants so we can support those great owners, too.

Affordable rent.

Need more of these threads. Its easy to complain, but takes alot more time to brainstorm, organize, etc actual solutions.

Ignore this dude, it's funny af
