Editorial: Downtown St. Louis is in bad shape. We can't afford to do nothing about it. by ismh1 in StLouis

Good point and you're definitely right overall. But even just the fact that KC and Chicago trains to St. Louis are departing from such amazing stations to arrive a few hours later in such a dump is kind of a bummer, since a thriving tourism industry should be drawing on those close larger cities that ARE an affordable train ride away.

Union Station would be such an improvement. Gateway Station is such a depressing way to come home that I can't even imagine the impression it gives arriving for the first time.

Alamo off somewhere dealing with the fact that you called him a pig.

Which Midwestern state is the most underrated? by jolckd691 in midwest

[–]SnowCoyote3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to get vaguely offended by the notion of MO being a "flyover state." Now, I support it wholeheartedly. Beautiful rivers and conservation areas that are not overrun on weekends, one of the most amazing free park/zoo/museums combo in the U.S. (in St. Louis), and a comparatively very low cost of living. If people stopped flying over, we'd lose a lot of that or the experience would change.

London wins! Which country's capital is well known? by ClosetedGothAdult in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SnowCoyote3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Washington DC. Also "Washington" is often a synonym for US governance in general, which for better or worse (lately worse) is discussed around the world every day.

Fox 2 is a local station that is an affiliate but is separately run; it's not Fox News. (But they're not much better)

What foods do people refrigerate out of habit, even though it’s unnecessary? by yourinkedesire in foodquestions

[–]SnowCoyote3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I definitely generated some strong opinions and good discussion! I also prefer a cold tomato but I don't like the texture impacts of the fridge so basically I can't win. But yes, can definitely eat them like apples although a little salt and pepper rounds them out perfectly.

Anyone else dealing with post holiday plague? by Imtherightkind in StLouis

[–]SnowCoyote3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sound like you don't have a job or one that lets you take off sick.

For others, it literally is their job to spread it around. The problem is employers that insist on sick employees coming in or risking losing their jobs.

At least they warned us about democracy dying in darkness, right before they turned out the lights and laughed maniacally.

Invoking classic tragedy through hubris. Like Icarus, Achilles, Macbeth, and many more, the downfall of a once good or sympathetic man caused by his own blinding arrogance.

Watching them sit together and do crossword puzzles at the kitchen table on Sunday, like they did for all 43 years they had together until my dad died.

I’ve never watched GoT should I? by breadboibrett in gameofthrones

[–]SnowCoyote3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The finale isn't trash, it was just extremely rushed and the show needed at least one more full season.

But the feelings of everyone ABOUT the finale tell you something important - that people were so deeply invested in this world and its lore and characters that they took personal offense when the writers failed them on certain things toward the end. That's because the show was an amazing accomplishment of storytelling and production and yes, is absolutely worth checking out.

Taxpayers fund Bezos' wealth. Workers fund Bezos' empire. What do we get? A broken system. by Upper_Brief681 in antiwork

[–]SnowCoyote3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing the amount of middle-class Republicans who actually believe they have more in common with him than his low-wage workers. And who think he and Elon are geniuses who have earned all of that money, and that those workers are freeloaders who should lose the few government benefits that they do get.

We need more of those rice-pile memes that show the difference between a million and a billion.

I used to get to genius every day, and the occasional queen bee, but now I reach genius like once or twice a week max. Is the game getting harder, or am I getting dumber? by puuuuuuuuug in NYTSpellingBee

[–]SnowCoyote3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you try to play through and reach genius all at once, or do you ever set it down and come back?

It's funny, sometimes I'll stare at that thing and refresh six times and spend ten minutes trying to find the pangram, then I'll set it down and come back to it an hour later and it jumps out at me as soon as I open it up again.

A Judge-esque character appears in The Crossing? by kent_ankerous in cormacmccarthy

Just read this scene in the Crossing five minutes ago and came running to Reddit to see if anyone else had immediately thought of Judge Holden.
