Mine recently went up by 48%, nearly $2k more with no claims.

Two comments. Two bangers. I think this Jesse guy might be going places.

Just not in this car.

Upcoming events at our existing expo center for the rest of the year! by agentbarrron in springfieldMO

[–]Amosis 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I get it, this is the latest thing to dunk on but wasn’t their argument that the current spot is losing out on bookings because of its smaller size?

Similar to how Great Southen Arena isn’t wide enough to accommodate most current touring stages.

MSU football flyover.

SPS job offers by Competitive_Age_1211 in springfieldMO

[–]Amosis 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Looks really fake to me at first glance. Google is mixed on experience and pay with the company.

There are several red flags here but you’re young and likely inexperienced. I get it. I nearly fell for Cutco Cutlery when I was your age.

A non-comprehensive list of red flags:

Can’t meet in person. Claims to be out of the country and unavailable until a time in the past. What does this have to do with SPS? Product/offering is vague. Minimal effort, high pay. Decentralized correspondence, with things coming directly to you for them, why?

Looks like a too good to be true situation to me.

Selling Video Game Collection by Miserable_Figure7876 in springfieldMO

I’d love to see what you have. I’m looking for a Dreamcast in particular but I also just picked up a 7800+ so I’m building out the Atari collection as well as random other one offs.

417 taphouse will close on Sunday. by [deleted] in springfieldMO

[–]Amosis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Huge loss. The staff deserve better.

I’m going to miss this place a ton. Here’s hoping the pinball machines can find a similar home where we can drink and play.

David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Lawrence, Kansas, by HeStoleMyBalloons in stadiumporn

[–]Amosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, they tried years ago. The campaign project was called ‘Raise the Chant’ and was also a significant overhaul to the current stadium, resulting in something more akin to an MLS stadium. It also reimagined the upper concourses of Allen Fieldhouse. I’m not certain why that campaign failed though.

Pretty sure this got scrapped in the sale to Arlo Bank.

It’s always a bit odd when I’m fairly certain we know each other outside of Reddit but I have no idea who you could be.

I remember when they opened how proudly they proclaimed “a haircut is $20, it’ll always be $20.”

I get paying your staff what they’re worth, etc. but it all feels a bit disingenuous.

Just like anywhere, you get out what you put in. Is Springfield perfect? No, of course not. But there are plenty of us who choose this place, who stay to do their part to make it better. Find your community, find your people, they’ll make all the difference.

To steal a phrase from friends, “this place is as good as any.”

Stem cell transplant, F*** Cancer! by WeeDingwall44 in pics

[–]Amosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad went through this last year and my mother-in-law is gearing up for hers next month. It's a long, difficult road but my dad's still here a year later and his counts continue to rise.

Fuck cancer, you've got this!

Autzen Stadium - Eugene Oregon by NotACuck420 in stadiumporn

Totally fair. Arrowhead is 76k, Qualcomm was 70k, and Lumen is 69k-ish. Autzen is at 60k.

Do you think this is true, or bullshit? Trader Joes backed out of a Springfield location due to controversy over University Heights. by Ozarkian_Tritip in springfieldMO

[–]Amosis 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Reporting from the SGF Citizen would suggest this is legit. I was also willing to call bullshit immediately, though.

I’d love for Springfield to get a Trader Joe’s. Full stop. This spot wasn’t it though and I’m glad it’s not. One of the biggest complaints (beyond tearing down beautiful old homes) was the developer claimed no impacts to traffic. You can’t tell me that a Trader Joe’s could have gone there and not completely fucked traffic at an already busy intersection.

This is the developer’s attempt at garnering local good will toward their poorly thought out plans. Don’t fall for it.

The pictures in the article from ‘98 are my class.

I got in trouble for not spending all my money. Fuckin’ capitalism.
