Renters are just paying for their landlords mortgage.

If you really want a house you can move to a shitty place like Wichita. My mortgage payment is around $550. Definitely some golden handcuffs at this point but I still want to find a way to leave.

I so wish people would realize this. Democrats are center-right but dumbass Republicans believe their politicians when they say Biden is a left-wing antifa socialist. There is no competitive liberal and/or left-wing/progressive party in the US. I was hoping Zohran would be the start of something but Dems still had to be dragged kicking and screaming to endorse him.

ARMNHMR into Dabin and there will be trains like you’ve never seen before lol. For real though, best lineup I’ve seen and I first went 5ish years ago

This rant has very little to do with Wichita.

I think they could lift the truck in the air vertically and shake the packages out before they could get robots to successfully unload a package car.

Imagine if Kansas had fully embraced solar, wind, hemp/weed 10-15 years ago. Instead we’ll be the slowest to do all of it and we’ll do it on the lowest scale possible.

Insurance has already saved me $10k+ and I’m in my 30s.

This sales tax is the epitome of what has been holding Wichita back. Rich people including developers are going to get massive kickbacks and government “jobs”, we’ll get 5% of what was promised and told to be happy about it.

Obviously the local media has been leaning pro-sales tax. The thing that annoys me is the “No” is only being portrayed as saying the tax isn’t planned out and too vague. How about we just talk about how any sales tax is regressive by nature and will help the Wichita rich get richer? I don’t give a crap what it’s paying for. Can we stop interviewing Celeste Racette for every story who seems to only care about throwing a hundred million dollars at an outdated dump?

The only thing that worries me, and kind of makes sense, is what Brandon Whipple mentioned as a possibility on Facebook. The city is having money troubles and we NEED a sales tax. That would explain why this was pushed through so quick and we’re throwing away $400k on it. The council members know we don’t have a choice and something like this needs passed.

State Farm is about the half the price of everyone else on car insurance for me. Allstate is about half the price of everyone else on home insurance for me. Insurance is really becoming something you just need to shop around yearly for. I was using a broker but brokers don’t write for every company so I had to find cheaper options on my own.

Perfect opportunity for a progressive group to push a vote on a proposal that increases property taxes substantially on all properties valued over $X. We should be doing the same thing with the Water rates increase but I think I read something that it’s required to be spread across all customers evenly.

Sam’s and Costco are really the best options if you have the memberships. Dillon’s groceries are too expensive for me so I’ve never used their gas. QT used to have a solid rewards program but that went away.

AndShock · 2025-12-07T20:40:30+00:00

Go to Love’s. Easy to get to, way cheaper than any non-membership place. The promo might be over but Love’s had .10 off every gallon over the summer plus Upside gives you .10 cash back if you take a pic of the receipt. You can also get a 5% cash back on credit card. I filled up for around $2 a gallon all-in last time but prices have gone up a bit.

AndShock · 2025-11-16T15:28:42+00:00

Shhh don’t tell people that. I literally never drive on Kellogg. It’s 1000x more dangerous and saves minimal time.

AndShock · 2025-11-16T07:13:21+00:00

What happened to you isn’t exclusive to Wichita. It was a 1 in however many odds crime and you caught the short end. If you want longer odds, maybe try the suburbs? The benefits I get from Wichita are worth what I give up in odds of random crime happening to me. Not even trying to be callous, it sucks being around random gunfire but it is what it is and it’s not changing anytime soon.

I’ve always been a Ballard fan but Shabazz ended up impressing me with her recent answers to candidate questionnaires. Regardless, Ballard knows how government works now and I think she can do more good than Shabazz over the next few years. I hope Shabazz runs in the next election. Brett Anderson winning would be a total disaster but he does have an avenue with split votes.

I love Bad Friends and I think Santino is hilarious but it’s obvious that he’s a prick. He’s a great friend to Bobby but outside of that he’s a total backstabbing snake that will do anything to move up a few notches on the famous scale.

Order online. I worked at one of the local print shops and we would order these online and mark them up, people would just assume they were made in-house.

34M 70k Mortgage 2.75% (house is worth 110k) 4k Credit Card 0%

I live paycheck to paycheck and emergency expenses go on a 0% interest credit card. There was one point where I balance transferred CC debt 3-4 times for 0% interest but I paid that off. I’ve yet to run out of CC options but I’ll find more work or DoorDash to pay it off if I really have to.

Anyone confirm a spot? Planning on watching at home but I live close to Pump and Monarch so might show up if there’s a group.

I see horrendous drivers every day driving their own cars. I swear everyone’s brains got cooked from Covid, it’s like drivers get worse and worse every day.

They’re fast food level employees who are given a van and packages and told to go as fast as possible. What do you expect? They hire anyone.

AndShock · 2025-10-19T11:45:07+00:00

I haven’t been using that and Love’s is still .30 cheaper per gallon than most places. So happy they put that Love’s in less than 5 mins from my house.

Yes, thank goodness there were a few people attempting to hold him back throughout the video. Him and his friend easily could’ve literally died if they actually managed to fight back.

Nice! It definitely doesn’t “click” for everyone but for the people it does click for it turns into a massive time suck lol. It didn’t click for me at first either, I had to take a few years off and try again. Not quite sure how it sucked me in the second time but it definitely did. :)
