I’ve noticed it ever since Covid lockdown. I think it’s something to do with lack of socialization combined with media trying to divide us. Some people need medication and aren’t getting it either. Just try to push through is all I can say. I try to be nice as I can and that’s all you can do. Not everyone is bad so you never know who you’ll run into.

I’ve been working with my bank for over a year and I feel very tightly knit into the work family. I honestly love the environment so much I don’t really want to go anywhere else. If it’s too inconvenient I may start looking for other employment opportunities, but until I get my bearings I’ll probably stay working at republic. I appreciate your advice though

I think there is a large group of the population that is basically permanently agitated and combative. They're feeding themselves fear and hate 24/7, and are convinced that everybody is out to take advantage of their hard work. They are convinced that they are perpetual victims of society. This clouds everything that they see and do.

I think its just how people are. My sister cleans at a University, and a guy looked ger dead in the eye the other day and threw his trash at her feet. Some people are just asshats

Reply to Ethiopian restaurant by Redneckshittery

There's good food in this town (especially compared to other places), but not ethnic food and not fine dining.

We've got like 170,000 people in town. Every restaurant that wants to stay open needs about 100 of those people to come in and eat every day. That's 700-1000 people every week. I would estimate that to stay open, even the tiniest hole-in-the-wall restaurant here must be both affordable and appetizing to at least 10% of the population.

By American standards, Ethiopian food seems very unusual. I tried it in Philly, at the best joint in town, with an actual Ethiopian community to go eat there regularly. I found it very challenging food to enjoy, both in terms of presentation and flavor. And compared to most people I meet here in Springfield, I'm like Anthony Bourdain levels of adventurous in my eating. I don't think 10% of Springfield would eat Ethiopian food. Fuck, I can't get a lot of people to eat Indian food.

There's just no way for niche restaurants to survive here. There's not enough people, and there's no cultural push to eat adventurously.

Reply to what else can we name after him?! by clOverrated

A man comes out of the courthouse and stands on the courthouse steps with tablet in hand like they did in Rome and bellows the following

"Official Missouri Edict forthcoming!

The decree is as follows:

In honor of our GLORIOUS representative, Roy Dean Blunt, and in respect to his most storied and dedicated service to our great state let it be known that all male children born within the province in the year 2023 shall be named "Roy!"

Not that I'm aware of sadly. I think Jums African Market did open a Food truck recently called "Desire", but the food is general African and not Ethiopian specifically.
