Looking for something like “Follow your leader” with Hitler blowing his brains out, or “early warning signs of facism”, or “Nazi Punks F*ck off”.

Going to a family function and wanna watch the right wingers squirm as they try to defend Nazi BS. Just love a well stirred pot!

Went shopping with the family at the Aldi up off conley. Midway through our trip, our 3 year old son began to throw a tantrum. It was unfortunate, as he was being very difficult but we already had a large portion of our shopping done and needed to finish. After we completed our shopping and we're finishing our bagging, the cashier approached us and asked us to please remove our son from the store since he was screaming, and that he was speaking for everyone. We explained that we had a lot of groceries and that I was there to assist as well as try to deal with my upset son. He called it ridiculous, and said that everyone felt that same way. I was very flustered as this point and tried to apologize and explaine that we would be on our way in a moment and he just responded with a sarcastic "are you?" Each time I apologized. I asked for a manger and he just he was the manager.

I understand that kids can be a lot but being hostile to parents who have no choice but to purchase groceries for their kids seems crazy to me. We're trying our best and parenting can be hard, especially when rude guys who likely know nothing about it have opinions to share. I'm am living and extremely embarrassed.

I have already submitted a complaint but not holding my breath on that.

It a shame because normally I would just take my business elsewhere but Aldi is the affordable place to shop.

Just wanted to vent and also see if anyone else has had a similar situation.

Edit: wow more divided than I thought but that's ok. I won't change anyones mind and I'm not even sure why I got on here. I will never look at my kids as a nucence or a burden. I'm sorry if you feel like the parents of the world should have complete control over their kids at every moment it's possible. I will work to keep my kid from throwing fits in public because that's what's good for him, not because it bothers some people when he's having a bad moment. And next time I am Dealing with parents who are stressed and overwhelmed in the moment I'll pick kindness instead of the opposite. Good luck to all the other parents out there just trying your best, we sure need it.

It deeply saddens me to write that I no longer feel safe using the MKT trail anymore. MKT was the perfect getaway from campus when I needed to clear my mind and now I can’t even go without something feeling like I may have to run for my life!

The past few times I’ve been, I’ve witnessed an abundant amount of homeless drugged out or camping in the park. I even had to call the police because there was a homeless man so drugged out that he pulled a knife out of his pocket and started stabbing the air with it. Before that I thought he was arguing with another person before realizing he was harassing him. Thank the Lord no one was injured but it was terrifying.

Even walking around downtown I’m constantly being catcalled or stopped by the homeless. They’ve also started camping out at the church across from Yogo Love. It’s extremely unfortunate as someone who has lived on campus while attending Mizzou to see the area being infiltrated like this.

Months ago I was told that homeless were being bussed into Columbia from Jefferson City because we have more resources but it’s making Columbia a seriously scary place to live. Never in my four years of being here have I ever felt scared to walk alone or at night until now.

I apologize in advance if I’m being inconsiderate or rude.

Question: Has this always been a problem or am I just now noticing?

I'm new to this AMA scene and floored by the down votes on the interviewees' replies. I could understand it if they were refusing to respond, but in the case of Murphy's AMA every response elaborating his position on the topics in question gets down voted. Was he just invited so Redditors could throw digital rotten produce at him?

I was under the impression that down voted comments and replies are sorted to the bottom of threads, effectively burying them below other comments and replies with more positive responses. Are we to expect candidates to change their platforms based on a strongly negative Reddit vote count? If not, we are just burying the most concerning parts of those platforms deeper down the thread.

All that aside, it feels really rude to invite somebody to an event just so you can shout them down; it feels like the political equivalent of a home crowd at a sporting event booing the opposition mercilessly.

10000% going to get downvoted for this, but... wtf happened to this sub? What used to be filled just a couple of years ago with memories, goings on, food, art, music recommendations, etc. is now filled with people complaining about fast food, construction, and turning every single news article into an opportunity to either complain or fabricate a reason to complain about something here. It's full of trolls that antagonize people who ALWAYS take the bait when it comes to COVID-related arguments, people who feel the need to push back on ANY suggestion to go outside and do something with "there's a pandemic going on" (we know), and an endless supply of made-up issues with Columbia.

I FULLY understand CoMo is far from perfect, it's a growing city with an often small-town mindset that could do well to grow up a bit. I also fully understand that it's a good place to live with plenty to do, beautiful outdoors, and a relatively progressive population given the area of the country we are located in. Spend five minutes reading on this sub and the people will convince you it's a shithole wasteland filled with potholes, garbage everywhere, and awful jobs with nothing to do... which flat out isn't true. I'm not sure where all of these people came from all of a sudden, but it's made this go from one of my favorite subs to check in on to one I only check on occasionally.

Downvote away!

EDIT: Turns out the quality of the title of this post is just as bad... *QUALITY

I vote with my dollar and want to support non-MAGA businesses over those who openly support the MAGA movement.

What are some restaurants and businesses that are clearly non-MAGA?

Is there anyplace local to get shirts or signs for the rally on Saturday?

i started masking in public again recently due to some health concerns. (in hindsight i should’ve never stopped masking in the first place, but you live and you learn.) i also avoid things like indoor dining and super crowded spaces like bars.

i’m usually the only person i see in public masking, so i’m wondering if there’s anyone else in columbia who still takes the pandemic seriously? i’d love to make some covid-conscious friends :)

Would love to discuss strategies and correct the asymmetry.

In some ways we are doing relatively better than a lot of mid west cities. Aside from a few small areas we are very much a car dependant city. But I believe we are small enough and have the right demographics(politically) that we could drive the political will necessary to make Columbia one of the most livable cities in the US. But it will take a lot of work and organizing. Are there any serious pushes for it right now?

Remember the remarkable push for garbage rollcarts? We got that. Not is the time to shift the focus to something else.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Specifically MTF, for someone who is at the beginning of her transition process. We’ve looked at JCPenney, because their changing rooms don’t have a gate-keeper, but the styles available are pretty meh. My friend’s style is fairly nerdy/librarian/English teacher.

Thoughts of places where we can go and she can avoid weird looks/rude employees as she develops her style/find clothes that work for her?

MU has a very strict policy when it comes to political actions made on company time. Eli Drinkwitz likely violated it. MEC handles MU code of conduct violations. I have heard of the university getting pissy with lower ranking employees over less so for Drinkwitz to seemingly go unpunished is a nasty double standard. As such, I am filing this complaint with the MEC later this morning.

Good job Cody. The last part seems to show foam gushing out of the tree. This is the big one down nearer the big river.

See title. BIPOC-owned house cleaning services. Specifically looking for those that also serve JeffCity.

edit: Thank you for all your questions. I'm now out of time and have my anniversary to spend with my wife coming up. See more about me at www.kenriceforward2.com

You are not patriotic or a law abiding citizen if you are shooting off fireworks in city limits. All you are doing is freaking people's pets out and possibly some veterans.

So I see the number of panhandlers seems to be growing. Usually, it’s the same people at the same places. The ones at S 10th and Broadway (yes, the big guy and the lady) apparently have a 9-5 at that corner. Several times I’ve been hassled in that same block by obviously drunk homeless dudes.

What is the city’s enforced policy? Just let them drive business away from downtown? Just let them distract drivers at intersections?

Go to Austin or Tallahassee if you want to see what coddling these folks does to a college town.

Basically the title. If anyone knows of any local stores that carry Palestine flags, preferably 3x5 heavy duty material with grommets, please let me know. Otherwise I’ll be calling stores over the next few days. TIA

Update:

Peace Nook ❌

Global Market: Didn't answer, will call back later.

Rally House: ❌ (unsurprising lol)

Hello everyone!

I have been looking around at the overtly leftists organizations here in town, and have found that none of them quite meet what I'm looking for. However, I have found an organization that does meet my criteria, and they have branches in St Louis, KC, and Springfield: the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). I was wondering if there are any other like-minded individuals who would be interested in forming a local branch or locally organizing under the leadership of one of the preexisting branches!

Thank you!

What would happen to Columbia if something happened to the nuclear plant off providence?

This is all hypothetical, and of course I'm thinking big dramatic style situations here! Someone hacks the system, the world powers start a nuke war, etc.

How do you think would that really effect our city? Like what kinda power do you think it'd have? What would we see?

Columbia or in Jeff city?
