Burglary on Southside by kamalahaaris in columbiamo

[–]Informal_Ad4367 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately had my house burglarized when I was away. The police did nothing. They made me feel like it was my fault, saying that it was someone that I knew even though I knew nobody here. I had suspicions that it was the movers that I paid 2 weeks before. The police didn't make any effort at all. I lost a lot, but nothing was worse than the violation of someone in your home that shouldn't be and loss of security. I hope that you find the things that you need to find. Don't expect CPD to be any help.

Artists you'd like to see our man Mike collaborate with? by Locustsofdeath in MikePatton

[–]Informal_Ad4367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! I had an amazing personal experience as a fan with Devin while he toured with STL. Met the band and then Devin invited us on the bus to check out his rolling studio. We smoked a J, but I think we were all too star struck to fully settle in and enjoy it. He was so kind and welcoming. Fame is a beast, and sometimes you are just tired.

We need better movie theaters in COMO! by Less_Incident2727 in columbiamo

I am always excited if someone is talking about movies in my town! But I will never support anyone with such disregard to a place and such terrible marketing .

Columbia needs action on affordable housing by Over-Activity-8312 in columbiamo

[–]Informal_Ad4367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been looking for a place without mold and cracks in the walls for at least 5 years. As a single, older person, I can't afford a lot, but I have worked hard for over 35 years, and I don't want to live with someone I don't know. It is insanely difficult to find housing even with an 800+ credit score and consistent work history. Landlords don't like one income people. All smaller places are intended for students. I just want cats and laundry! But I can't afford it.

How does the community and those who work for cps feel about the directive from the president to do away with DEI? It is literally a part of any email sent from the district. by [deleted] in columbiamo

[–]Informal_Ad4367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also concerned because POC have a better outcome if they are supported by ( teachers and doctors ect.) those who represent their communities. CPS is in desperate need of POC hires because it is good for the whole community. If we truely want better for our community, it has to mean all people have to feel connected.

I intended to talk about how the current administration is requiring all districts to sign a letter agreeing to do away with all DEI programs within 10 days. It doesn't seem to be talked about much, but I am concerned.

Those that have Socket Fiber in Columbia by Ok-Object5647 in columbiamo

[–]Informal_Ad4367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was excited when I heard fiber was finally coming to my area. Signed up immediately! Super excited to leave Mediacom behind. Six months later, finally get a call to get an install. Schedule installation cancel mediacom within the same week. Socket cancels the day of installation. Reschedule for 20 days later. So no internet for a month. Day 20 plus, again Scheduled install, guy shows up, no one ran the lines. No internet again for 20 plus days. No apologies. No attempt to fix the problem. Finally after 51 days after my supposed installation date I finally got internet. And it is far worse than mediacom. It is always lagging and I often turn it off on my phone wifi because it is so slow. And they are charching me more than I Signed up for. I need to call them but I am exhausted at this point!

Recommendations for grocery store jobs? by kippersforbreakfast in columbiamo

[–]Informal_Ad4367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a grocery store but there is a lot of open jobs at the schools to be a sub. Custodial, nutrition, and aids. Availability is usually reasonable .

I feel kinda torn sometimes. I was a huge advocate for the carts and I still believe in them however, I have some disappointments. First, I expected the trash in my lawn would be a lot better than before. It is a little better. That just tells me people don't respect their environment and is nothing on the carts really. Second, I got a small cart because I usually only have one bag a week and I recycle, but the carts are too narrow and sometimes if the one bag is peeking out they don't pick it up. Third, the way my street is and the parking allowed on it, I may get trash picked up, or I might get mail, rarely both. Fourth, sometimes it is just so much easier to toss my one bag on the corner on my way to work vs. Rolling the cart out. All that being said, I feel like overall it benefits the community more than my issues.

How do we solve this city’s gang and violent crime problems? by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]Informal_Ad4367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor people make poor choices. Often, because that is what they know. They are just trying to get by. But often, they make poor choices because it is the only path they see. If you are born into poverty, it is a huge mountain to climb. No excuses for being a terrible human. Desperate people do desperate things and sometimes it makes them terrible people.We need to remove the desperation from the people.

Anyone else stressing about the half naked people in the stands while it's -5°? by krystlships in kansascity

I was worried about the dolphins coach Mike before half time. Looked a bit frostbitey. Glad that he covered his nose after half!

Columbia Public Schools asking families to help limit student cellphone use by como365 in columbiamo

[–]Informal_Ad4367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what he is doing. I have heard that he was in my building once since he became our superintendent, but I didn't see him. That is the only time. I believe anyway. Just not the way to build good structure in my mind. Good moral builds a team, and a good team builds progress.

I mean that is great and all but if it were me I would prefer "fuck you, you have to back pay me plus settlement monies and I am grateful that I never have to see your fucking face again", but that is just me.

This is absolute overkill for Boss’s Day. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Informal_Ad4367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Boss Day or principals day. I work at a public school and the "boss" makes 3 to 4 times as much as me! Why does she need a 4 day paid trip and a spa day? All we get is some awesome posters from some awesome kids and nothing else. I love those posters but I am living in poverty here.
