I have a series of snowflakes going! Mushrooms will be next round and keep in mind that sequitoa will be a hot spot! Planned parenthood and relics will also make the list!

Reply to Are there any good coffee shops in Springfield with Christmas or holiday vibes? by gitaffeffd464
I would have to say Mudhouse myself. It's just a couple blocks from the Christmas tree, and their coffee is amazing. I'm not 100% sure about the holiday vibes currently, but that doesn't take away from how good their coffee is.

This is great bc y’all really love this mediocre restaurant w/ a attention seeking owner. Have any of y’all ever even had good Thai food? I bet y’all like cashew chicken and think Perches is authentic.

Agree with this! There's a lot we can do without needing to wait for what the city can or won't do.
Any person can help our unhoused neighbors. You can collect donations and hand them out, hold food drives or cook for the local community, get a group and you can achieve a lot.
Pessimistic to say, but our system is not going to always be there to provide. We can step up to help and provide support without any government official giving us the okay or waiting on the tax support.

Better reflective road paints or line reflectors for night/rain driving.

I think it’s great that Springfield is trying to become a college town. But we have a long way to go for it to really be that way.

Absolutely. This seems like a weird analogy, but I've been obsessed with interrogation videos recently. I often see interrogators who are ineffective and effective, and then during one of the videos I learned a famous interrogation quote along the lines of "If you're arguing with them, you've already lost."
It psychologically makes a lot of sense. And I feel it's the same with everyday interactions.
Of course the interrogator empathizing with a murderer/rapist/child porn criminal finds it disgusting and worthy of punishment. Also not for a second am I relating someone with differing views equitable to these criminals. However, the point is they can have an ongoing discussion with them, even though they have the exact opposite views. Their motives are different than you or me, and even in the conversation they're clearly against those views, but they can understand how they came to have these views.
Through conversational techniques, they can inform someone of their rights that they don't need to talk to them in any capacity (in fact an interrogation would be thrown out in a second if there's any indication they don't understand their rights), but over and over and over the criminals disregard their rights to try and talk their way out of a situation, due to the interrogators technique. Then, the same criminal insistent on hiding their crimes, over and over and over, completely confess to the crime, their motive, and how they did it.
I find it fascinating, and not too dissimilar to talking to someone with a different viewpoint. Of course it's often not as black and white as these criminals, as in the basis of their views have merit in one way or the other, and often I learn things I never would have discussing things with them, but ultimately it just goes to show empathizing is 10000x more effective than just attacking someone, as it opens the door for actual conversation rather than instantly attacking the other person.

I would love to see more skateparks, mountain bike trails, bike jump parks, pump tracks, RC car tracks, and an RC airplane flying field with a runway.
I would prefer to see more owner-occupied residential, of all types.
I would love to see (or hear) enforcement of excessively loud mufflers.

Less abandoned strip malls! I would rather see empty lots than dilapidated buildings all day.

Everywhere has issues but you shouldn’t be criticized for wanting to watch a sport you like. Don’t know why people are dragging you for this when we are all guilty of buying products that are built/made in less than ideal conditions (phones, shoes, etc.)
With that being said, I have seen games on at most bars I have been to. Georgia Mac’s has had games when I have been there and I am sure any bar would accommodate (especially outside of Sunday for NFL).
Don’t let the moral authorities on the Springfield Mo subreddit tell you how to live.

Worthless fucks think threats of violence are “pranks”.
Let this waste of space rot in jail, you know, as a prank.
