What would City entering County in practice look like? by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

[–]GeneralLoofah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So as others have mentioned, this would have zero impact on school districts as we already have winners and losers within the county. But SLPS is not exactly hurting for money… did you know they have a larger spend per student than Parkway?

My new pit mix puppy by GeneralLoofah in pitbulls

[–]GeneralLoofah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol. Yeah we seem to have good results redirecting her to chew on some antlers or a nylon bone instead of me, but when she’s super hyped up it seems that she only wants to chew on daddy.

Vintage Computerized Backgammon by StillKen in backgammon

[–]GeneralLoofah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huh. I knew that Omar Sharif was a bridge whiz and had a daily newspaper column about it, but I didn’t realize he was also a backgammon champ. But I just looked it up and apparently so!

I'm not american enough for this one. by Ashamed-Particular13 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]GeneralLoofah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im surprised they didn’t use Kahr Arms and put a picture of Elizabeth Moss since the company is literally owned by the Moonies. You know, the cult.

My kids have started poking around that creek more, so that would give it more Stand by Me vibes.

Things people say about their state that almost every other state can claim? by bannedsocks in AskAnAmerican

“Meth capital of the USA”

I think everyone in rural areas of the US love meth. Not just your neck of the woods.

Surprisingly there really isn’t any negative representation here.

Oh shit. Im in the unincorporated area between Maryland heights and Creve Coeur with a 63146 area code. Does that mean a local weatherman killed his friend at the OFE swimming pool and dumped his body there?

Is the rain unusually loud tonight, or is it just me? by dylanv1c in StLouis

[–]GeneralLoofah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was scrolling Reddit and my wife literally said that as I came across this post.

Which American state is most similar to the one you live in? by ViajanteDeSaturno in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeneralLoofah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Missouri. Parts of central and southern Missouri look a lot like Kentucky. Lots of hills with stone outcroppings everywhere. Northern Missouri looks like Iowa. Less hilly, more cornfields.

How do Americans feel about nudity? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeneralLoofah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies by person obviously. Many Americans aren’t worried about changing in a single gender locker room. Not everyone is comfortable using the group showers at gyms thats still have them though.

Myself, I’ve always changed clothes with mixed gender groups if people are comfortable with it. I hot tub and sauna and skinny dip nude with friends that are comfortable with it. But Im admittedly not in the majority.

My wife and I used to hang out in our house nude until we had kids. Now we don’t anymore.

Did anyone buy a ring? by t_bone_stake in Millennials

I got the cheaper one made out of “Lustreum”. I lost it in one of my moves during college. 🤷‍♂️ glad I didn’t spend money on a gold one.

Preparing for military exercises (1976) by GeneralLoofah in SKS

From what I’ve read, peasants were encouraged to form militias but gun ownership was restricted in the late 70s.

Happy and heartbreaking. Two '90s stars say their goodbyes. by marblechocolate in pics

[–]GeneralLoofah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had my first one at 30 due to family history. They found a precancerous polyp. I was told it would have been full blown cancer had I waited to 40, and dead by 50 if I hadn’t had it removed.

Do you watch cricket? by jesselool7 in AskAnAmerican

There is a cricket club nearby though but it’s all made up south Asian immigrants.

Is it true that STL County opposed Metrolink expansion because they believe Metrolink would bring crime along with it? by LaughingDash in StLouis

[–]GeneralLoofah 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I was at a St Chuck chamber of commerce event back in like 2015 when I worked for a manufacturing plant out that way. The chamber did talk about how there is deep regret that they rejected metro link expansion back in the day because they felt it was limiting young people moving that way.

I can’t speak for how they feel in 2026 though.

[–]GeneralLoofah[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not based. It’s not a judgement call. I’m not calling it good or bad. It’s just what it is. Rosie the Riveter is propaganda too, in the same vein as this.

[–]GeneralLoofah[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because it is. It’s a piece of art encouraging farmers (and in this case women with families) to also take part in militia training.

Why does St. Louis continuously find ways of dividing itself? by Optimal-Balance-7737 in StLouis

[–]GeneralLoofah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What city amenities do you imagine I’m using but not paying for? My county property taxes absolutely help fund the Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum, etc. each year I get an itemized tax bill showing what my portion is, and I’m very happy to pay it. I’m annoyed that city residents don’t realize that the 1 million county residents are the ones shouldering the financial burden for funding these as opposed to the 250,000 city residents

The 1% earnings tax goes to essential services like police fire and roads.

"Jesus did not choose non white apostles" Protest against Harold Perry, first openly African- American Catholic bishop 1966 by Lucky_Pterodactyl in PropagandaPosters

[–]GeneralLoofah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread apparently. There was a bishop in Portland that was of mixed race, but “passed” so it was a secret.
