I mean, the government has decent healthcare, especially for politicians. The People though, screw em.

It's probably easier to ask what they don't have

According to some random public comment on Facebook who supposedly witnessed what happened, a motorcyclist was going about 80 down Glenstone and collided with a car pulling out of a parking lot near Chestnut, right on the other side of the bridge.

A few things here, but ultimately I would take the 60k offer:

1. You're young and live at home? Have you lived away from your parents before? I think it would be socially beneficial to commute to an office and have socialization with other adults that are not childhood friends or family.

2. I lived at home for a time after graduating, and had a 30-45 minute commute home through the city. It was a nice buffer between work and home where I could decompress, blast some music or play podcasts, and just be by myself. I would also be more likely to go out or do some after work errands because I was already out and about.

3. An 18k increase in pay is pretty substantial at that level of income.

4. I feel WFH is always first on the chopping block for layoffs. It's much easier to avoid personal investment between employees and upper management when there's a screen between you guys under every interaction. I don't work in a volatile field like tech or something though. I never once worried for my job during COVID, but the nature of our work is best achieved with office time and requires travel with others at times.

5. You mentioned your parents don't want you moving out. I would urge you to look into the why of this. It's totally fine to live with your parents, but if they're holding you back from making progress in your career either for financial or protective parent reasons, it's time to reassess. You should put your career goals ahead of their wants.

Take the 60k job, go through with the commute, and if you hate it after a while, start looking for a new job. But getting the better salary, presumably better job title, and the different work experience will help you get better jobs later, ones that can offer a WFH and better salary.

Oh hey, I donated to their GoFundMe last year. Glad they got up and running!

Does it shut off automatically? It was just screaming at me once it hit the level so I assumed I had to remove it asap. Which is useful too so I don't have to keep an eye on the screen.

farmers markets usually have a bunch of seedlings

And Steve Makoski (on the SPS school board already) works for Rapid Robert's too: "Steve is the Director of Compliance for Rapid Robert’s, Inc. where he oversees multiple departments and operations."

I use Costco for fuel, but KG or Casey's are my 2nd and 3rd options depending on location. Rapid Robert's obviously has an agenda they're pushing in our schools, wild.

Small, weird intervals. Are you a young 26 or an old 26 lol

Good for you!

Rip luco's 😩

>An overhaul of one of the busiest thoroughfares in Springfield begins this week.

>MODOT hopes it will be completed by December 2024.

My commute is about to be fucked for two years.

Give me promenades dammit

Seems like a genuine learning opportunity for both sides and a good resolution to the issue. I'm glad they dug further to correct their misinformation and apologized!

What made them finally be reasonable, if you want to share?

So,, according to the US Dept of Education:

>Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

You may have to go nuclear on this. cc the superintendent, registrar, etc and request the school district's FERPA policy for your review. I would summarize the date and times that you spoke with whoever you spoke with, and what they stated (ie, they stated it was illegal, you asked under what policy, and they hung up on you). Basically create a record of communication "paper trail". Keep it polite and factual.

This resource may provide additional information about potential protections you may have.

That's a leap lol. They said ask minorities which car makes them more worried. Being pulled over or treated in a certain manner doesn't get captured in arrest numbers.

I'm sure you were going to try to pull arrest numbers and demographics from the county, but dwb is a bit more nuanced than that.

Actually not. The main factors I'm guessing you're latching on to is being a (pot, assuming) smoker and LGBTQ, but I know people on the right who are one or the other, both, and neither, just like people on the left.

What political ideologies did they mention?

Every quote from Arnott in this article was just cruel and thinly veiled threats. He clearly knows nothing about the Connecting Grounds (Love's church) since he claimed she should open her church to the homeless if she cares so much. They have. They've suspended their in-person services instead to turn the space into housing for families

He's just a far-Right fucking asshole.

I was personally being sarcastic but I know there are people who enjoy MV and that's good for you and them

It's not authentic, but Mexican Villa is really good as a local. That watery ketchup salsa, flour tortilla chips, and queso blanco they smother the trashcan enchilada in is just chef's kiss

From FB group: Springfield /Greene County Start Local, here is the post commentary regarding the Springfield Daily Citizen's article posted today:

>For a story on the torching of unsheltered encampments, Sheriff Arnott declined to answer questions from the reporter and said “no thanks, you do not print accurate information anyway so there is no sense in responding to you.” >Monica Horton, who is the council person for the area where the camps were burned, termed it “a complete nightmare. We should not be at war — burning personal belongings, life necessities. We are not at war with residents who are without shelter.” The Sheriff refused to confirm the story, but three unsheltered people told the reporter the same story they told Christie Love, that deputies showed up with gas cans, gave them minutes to leave, and their belongings were burned. >Greene County Commissioner Bob Dixon also declined to comment, although last month he called Arnott’s actions “tough love” and the right thing to do. >This isn’t the first time Arnott has attacked reporters. I remember in 2018 when the MEC ethics investigation into Greene County was concluded Arnott said to KY3 reporter Emily Wood: “This is why we don’t talk to Emily. Because you don’t report facts, you make things up. And that’s why we don’t talk to you anymore.” (SGF News-Leader, April 26, 2018)

The Sheriff has renewed raids against the homeless community this year.
