The gang culture is for sure glorified and emulated. It isn’t black or white or brown or yellow. There’s a real issue with fatherless homes, boys trying to be men, and finding acceptance in glorying violence and sensational behavior. The first reaction of many folks these days when harm is encountered is to get a TikTok video rather than aid ones fellow man.

This isn’t a race problem, it doesn’t have boundaries. Our culture is regressing and we brought it upon ourselves.

Plus because of the age and inclement weather, and hills; it’s a infrastructure nightmare. I feel for folks in this scenario but I also understand this is a brutal city to try to retrofit to be suddenly pedestrian accessible; much less tolerable for disabled folks.

Probably because I’m a regular citizen representing himself after his wedding venue stole literally thousands of dollars in blatant violation of their own terms of service. There is a system, small claims, set up to handle these sorts of occurrences. Having never dealt with any legal issues, why would one assume that the system this is established for is basically a fraud.

So ya, I learned a painful lesson asswipe. I’m trying to help others who might go down the same road. It’s better to just go rock them in face then try to follow conventional paths

Haha I went the same. The witch got her free candy. It isn’t actually good for her, but she wanted it. The pirate got the carrot… which you can take as “working towards” a carrot, healthy, etc. it is definetly Not what he wanted but in the long run it’ll be the best for him.

Super meta 😆 probably just a cartoon.

I understand, it’s exactly why I pursued mine. I knew, and everyone knew, they absolutely illegally violated their own contract and stole thousands.

My point being, after almost two years!! Worth of spending time in court, appeals, writing documents, paying fees, driving downtown, taking off from work… I spent a lot of my own money and time to dig a deeper hole and at the end of the day the state really makes no effort to recoup your money. Even the sheriffs clerk was like… oh honey, you have wasted your own time. This moneys never coming back to you. The sheriff knocks on their door and if they simply refuse to answer… they don’t collect. After three attempts they close the case. I’m just warning you, I really in hindsight think the moral victory probably wasn’t worth the stress and effort. We had newspaper interest too, it was a big story when this venue closed and left tons of couples out in the cold plus stole everyone’s money. Nothing happened other then a brief 6 o clock news coverage

Hey, our wedding venue stole our money right when Covid was exploding and they weren’t allowed to host our wedding. We sued in small claims. Won. They appealed. We won again. Then the sheriff couldn’t find them. They will only make three attempts to contact. If they don’t answer the door, they walk away. End of story.

I spent exorbitant amounts of time, effort, and money. At the end of the day, I just spent my own money to dig a deeper financial hole, recouped nothing, and won a moral victory. Honestly… if they are starting to fight it might not be worth it. This states laws are absolutely whack in this regard.

That’s still a bad analogy; seatbelts have been documented to save lives. Have masks?

I’m also of the position that do whatever makes you happy. You wanna wear a mask, knock yourself out. Just don’t think they have any efficacy in the situation
