She wasnt even fired, she just isnt vice pres anymore because she has shown she is unprofessional and irresponsible.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in School board elections are more important than Presidential elections! by the_honeyman
The speaker was using a rhetorical technique to engage the audience, she interrupted the presentation to make petty comments in response. Everyone knows rhetorical questions and devices are just set ups to make a point, everyone in attendance knew the point the presenter was trying to make, and she chose to disrupt the presentation by being purposefully obtuse and difficult about it. It was all in bad faith and all triggered by her hatred of the sort of topics being discussed at the event. It is disrespectful micromanaging to the fullest extent for a board member to show up to something like this and act this way. Boards should guide and advise diatricts not show up to functions and derail them with petty grievances.

Reply to Moving to Springfield Soon! by Capelily
As far as cultural things, we have a pretty good public library, occasionally get some good theater and music, Gillioz and Juanita K Hammons are good venues to watch. Someone mentioned Phelps Grove, we have a decent (for the size of the city imo) art museum right by the park there, and a local history and natural history museum.

Asian World or Seol have the best east asian selection in town, the asian market on glenstone is ok. Bombay Bazaar is good for indian ingredients.

I still am down to let med users get easier and faster access, but you are 100% right on the first point tbh. This is what happens when we dont have a govt that can come together and make a law and weigh input etc. Shouldnt have had to be a ballot initiative. .

I know when they rolled out rec in illinois they made it so medical patients were served first, so it is possible and honestly i think the right thing to do. Missouri clearly didnt care.

Reply to Give me a new place to eat! by Jimithyashford
Ive not been there to eat in a minute but Leslies is sort of an authentic hidden latin american gem imo, also Bombay Bazaar is good and unique to go indian street food but ive never had a smooth or totally positive experience with the ordering and wait for food, so go with that caveat.

Reply to comment by offu in Dozens of pre-Hispanic Zapotec tombs found in San Pedro Nexicho in Mexico by MeatballDom
Aztec history is fun to me because it really is so recent but it gets treated like its ancient. It put everything into context when i learned that teotihuacan was already an abandoned mystery (at least to them) by the time the aztecs showed up.

I live in a town with a good library, and borrow most of what i read on top of using it as a resource for finding books, this generally allows me to explore books i wouldnt otherwise. I buy a lot of books, but am relatively specific about the sort of books i want to own and collect, im not buying every little novel of piece of nonfiction that seems mildly interesting.

Reply to Brosnan Security by Lost-Can-4218
This is all exactly what id expect, and probably has parallels throughout the city. The working poor and totally indigent are all wallowing in the same mire. I have not really heard anything good about any private security in general here, outside of occasionally there is an individual who is good. It is all so often bigger then an individuals actions can really sway or fundamentally change, being open and public goes along way. I dont think the avg person knows how often folks are oding in public in this city for instance, we can act like its a distant problem if we arent facing it, same thing with the absurd transphobia and racism u mentioned.

Yeh honestly, I used to do much more pedestrian commuting to work and built up the habit of at least always wearing a bright colored beanie in winter. It just made sense to me. Better to do anything then nothing and so much other winter wear is dark.

The signal station on campbell, n of sunset / across from ace has a great air compressor that can check your tires and fill them to whatever pressure you set on the machine. And its free.
