Gosh, maybe not since P&L opened?

Cars in the process of actively running a red light.

Giant SUVs parked in COMPACT CAR ONLY spots.

To be fair, it's pretty demotivating when it looks like the establishment is aligning against your guy again because he dares to suggest we might be able to get people healthcare and educations. What a radical!

Dementia seems a bit strong. He's been saying ridiculous shit and making monstrous gaffes and creepily hugging people for his entire career.

Welp, I guess we’re getting another 4 years of trump.

That was my unfortunate instinct as well: repeat of 2016. Smells awful, and awfully familiar.

I figured they all hung out at whatever Mike's Tavern is called now.

I kinda feel like argument-by-podcast is worse than any logical fallacy and you lose by default. Did you know the earth is flat? IT COULD BE MAN I HEARD IT ON JOE ROGAN

What's up with the sidewalk closure? I was chuffed they had left the sidewalk open surrounded by scaffolding, but last time I walked by it was just completely closed. Mildly annoying.

Are you trying to argue that anti-intellectualism and lack of creativity signal the great flourishing of humanity? And using a podcast as supporting evidence? Because I think you just proved his point.

Bring back the funicular!

It's probably a little unfair to blame only stupid people. There is also a large number of very good and very smart trolls deliberately sowing chaos, some pursuant to a political agenda or ideology but many just because they think it's funny when the media freaks out about whether the OK hand gestur...

To be completely fair, it's not older people that came online and saw the edgelord ways of 4chan and thought "oh shit, these are actual nazis and now it's OK to be a nazi!" and started going to rallies with tiki torches and stuff.

I think the op/ed side of the Star has always skewed a bit liberal anyway, but now it seems even the most conservative commentator is in fact a closet progressive socialist liberal if they deviate one iota from accepting each of Trump's bizarre hallucinations as reality.

It's woefully underfunded because the only people who ride it fall in the middle of the Venn diagram of people who don't have a choice on the one side, and people who can afford the fare on the other. So all you're effectively doing by charging a fare at all is excluding those who are the most likel...

"I got a beef sandwich at LC's" becomes ever more ambiguous.

It should be one system.

Yeah, I think most everyone here would agree with that.

And perhaps also agree that a large reason it's not is because of intermetro (mostly JoCo, but Independence isn't much better) distrust of KCMO to collect taxes from non-KCMO areas to fund it.

I don't think mostly. Maybe halfish? Just a guess based on the anecdotal frequency I seem to see large vs small buses. Of course, where I live I mostly see and/or ride the 24/9/12/15 buses, and they are all 40' as far as I've seen.

What rally is that for?

The Photoshop Meme Rally 2020.

The problem I have with going over to YouTubeTV or whatever is that in spite of having gigabit internet, those things stutter and experience interruptions far more regularly than plain 'ol cable. It's almost as bad as trying to watch sports over broadcast, except you aren't compelled to get up and i...

For sure my complete lack of desire to attend was informed by attending the unmitigated disaster that was the Royals parade, plus the fact that it was not only cold as balls but there was some chance of inclement weather. What I didn't count on was that some hundreds of thousands of other people wou...
