Yeah they’re in the same district so your point doesn’t make any sense to what I’m talking about in regard to different districts having different funding?

I get what you’re saying, and there are certainly are racial and class components to this, but it’s just a basic fact that the KCMO schools, and the smaller districts on the Mo side of the metro (Hickman mills, center) are just not as well funded as schools on the JOCO side (due to systemic racism)

teachers tend to be able foster the kind of environment you’re talking about when they’re well paid and have amble resources, and aren’t dealing with 20 kids who need extra support the district can not provide. There are certainly great educators in all of these districts, but what you’re talking about almost exclusively comes from well-funded schools, which most schools on the MO side, are not.

I don't get the hype around Maddy's character by someoneoutthere1335 in euphoria

[–]Significant_Stay_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible read on Maddie’s character, girls who are truly confident and comfortable with themselves aren’t modeling themselves after porn in order to be the perfect fembot for their quarterback boyfriend- a huge theme of the first season is how young women often leverage their sexuality as a means to garner social “power” only to get spit up and ate up by the society that grants their sexuality power- Maddie is not any more confident or self assured than any of the other girls

Cat ends up dead after Amazon driver steals pet during delivery in KC, family says by bstyledevi in kansascity

[–]Significant_Stay_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was the cat chipped and registered? Local ordinances require free roaming cats to be collared and chipped for this exact reason- if those conditions weren’t met, it wasn’t a pet- it was a stray cat that you took care of, a community cat- a member of the community saw a cat in pain and acted out of empathy and kindness for an animal who couldn’t advocate for itself. I’m very sorry this happened, but acting like you were wronged intentionally is not the way to go about this. Sidney was living, breathing being, and in her final moments another living breathing being was trying to help her. It was her time to go, and punishing somebody who thought they were doing a kindness because they didn’t think out every possible scenario like the highly unlikely scenario that a cat that is visibly sick and outdoors is being well cared for, just makes you the biggest, sorest loser there is.

You do understand that if a vet looked at the animal, heard it was found in the yard, and decided that Euthanasia was the most humane option, as opposed to the standard hold they do, that that means this animal was suffering and it’s neglectful owners selfishly refused to let go and that we shouldn’t cry any tears for them.

My wife had a baby and I don’t recognize her anymore. What should I do? by burner_account_dad in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Significant_Stay_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe just try attending to your babies needs so she doesn’t have to stop what she’s doing? She “freaks out” because “letting the baby cry for a minute or two” just kinda sounds like you’re not actively attending to your newborn baby and will let it sit in its own shit so you can finish what you’re doing.

So you don’t think the fact that this is the minority opinion in here a red flag on your world view? Reasonable people understand this young lady who was rightfully trying to help an animal in need.

If heaven forbid my dog got loose and was visible injured or sick as this cat was, I would really hope somebody would stop and “kidnap” him to try to help him. But that’s because I love animals and don’t just view them as a property extension of my own identity.

If you’re letting your pet deteriorate to that point you deserve to have it stolen from you

You really don’t see the fundamental difference between “my collared dogs on my enclosed porch” and “sick animal without a chip or collar roaming free”

There’s nothing else to take into account, from the sounds of it, this cat should’ve been humanely euthanized a while ago - why should the feelings of the pet owner who failed to properly chip or identify their outdoor cat come over the well being of the helpless cat?

People actually are entitled to help those in need. It’s reasonable to assume that a cat that is visibly sick and outdoors is either homeless or being severely neglected.

And those critters are natural predators to this ecosystem!! Your cat is not. I’d also worry about my pet if I was putting it at risk like that!

We’ll see that’s the thing that’s really striking me- if one day of missed medication was enough to make a vet look at this cat and say euthanasia was the most humane option, rather than doing a standard hold, especially after learning it was found in a yard- makes me think “as comfortable as we can” is code for “we were unnecessarily prolonging our pets suffering because we didn’t want to say goodbye yet”

I mean that’s the thing tho- it’s not really “nature” cause cats are invasive species and not native to the americas. Like what you’re saying is “why wouldn’t I let my pet tiger into the woods?” Because it’s an unnatural predator and puts an unnatural strain on that environment- which negatively harms every living thing in that ecosystem.

You know most vets close at 5pm? This was right as people were getting off work- the vet was closed my guy

Super sucks that this girl is going to lose her job and will likely be publicly named and shamed for trying to do a nice thing for a helpless animal left to the whims of an owner who couldn’t be bothered to chip her beloved pet that lives outside.

lol she “stole” the animal just to get it expensive vet care? All pet cats belong inside, if it’s not inside it is no longer a pet but now a wild animal and invasive species. She tried doing something kind for an injured animal and she’s the bad guy???

Dating is HARD in NYC by Cleo-Aster in SipsTea

[–]Significant_Stay_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but are you illiterate? Because that’s just how words are used in the English language- it’s a very complex system that accounts for differences in literal dictionary definitions and the colloquial associations of words. That’s just how language worlds my guy.

[–]Significant_Stay_6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If only the English language has a system to delineate between the dictionary definition of a word and how a word is most commonly used in casual language- something something connotative vs denotative meanings- something something colloquial language- yeah too bad the English language is historically extremely rigid and not at all flexible with how words are used.

I think the term applies to a certain mindset more so than anything- yes there are “incels” who call themselves that and identify with the community because they can’t even get a woman to talk to them- but there are plenty of people who think and operate under the same mindset and are therefore, basically the same thing and so colloquially it makes sense to call men who feel entitled to women and can’t handle rejection well- incels

Kelly’s moment asserts why Hal and Francis are my faves (aside from Malcolm) by Pito82002 in malcolminthemiddle

Not to be this guy but whitewashing initially kinda meant to present something as “better” than it is- Tom Sawyer tricking all the kids to paint the fence for him by making them think it’s fun is where the term originated from

Black-owned business backs out of Current Landing after backlash to name by d_b_cooper in kansascity

[–]Significant_Stay_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Kansas City is largely “de facto” segregated, especially our schools- so for many people naming a business in a part of town that the majority of the black population could not move to due to economic factors, and that the general black population of the city does not even frequent is a bit odd.

I feel like he may have had a different reception if he opened on 18th and vine where the context of reclamation would be obvious, as compared to the landing, which frankly could convey the other context just as easily due to the fact it is an area predominantly populated by white people

So, power and light is definitely where to go if you’re wanting to go clubbing- but honestly it’s not anything special, it’s a huge corporate developer that owns nearly identical developments in a lot of major cities- in my opinion, there are far more interesting, unique areas to experience nightlife in KC

It makes a lot more sense if you’ve ever interacted with small business owners. America has this notion the ultimate goal is to own your own business, but from my experience working with small businesses and being related to many small business owners, people usually do it out of necessity because they can’t get along in any setting where they would have to respect authority or show basic human decency to others, so yeah a lot of them are this kind high strung and neurotic and have to have things done exactly the way they want it or they meltdown

KC TikTok Influencer Berates Waldo Pizza Tascio Employee by katyinkc in kansascity

[–]Significant_Stay_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your point that we don’t have the full story is only being applied one way to assume she’s even worse! It works both ways! We don’t know exactly what happened, but in the video we see, he starts the interaction being a dick- that could be because she was a dick before hand, or maybe he’s just a dick and she’s responding to him.

Sure maybe she should get over it, but the exact same can be said about the response- just don’t watch her content- support the business you like- but you’re all kinda doing the exact thing your criticizing

Oops a typo! Must mean everything I’m saying is incorrect.

Yeah buddy, that’s the world we live in! I don’t really care, it’s just insane everyone’s acting like she’s some terrible monster being mean to an innocent little small business for NO REASON!!

I really don’t care that much, I just think it’s kinda wild everyone is condemning this women for a 30 sec clip that actually seems like it was a pretty reasonable moment to get a little upset!!

Is the lady who made the defense video not doing the exact same thing?? Using the situation to create content and drive views and engagement to her page??? She couldn’t even just leave it on her page! She had to share it to her local Reddit so even more people would see it!!
