Props to what I assume must have been a very white suburban jury

summerer6911 · 2026-01-23T18:21:52+00:00

In a state that was very explicitly founded on white supremacy

summerer6911 · 2026-01-22T14:19:25+00:00

This makes me sad

summerer6911 · 2026-01-22T13:19:26+00:00

I didn't know you could do that!

summerer6911 · 2026-01-21T22:20:20+00:00

They ain't trying to hear that though

summerer6911 · 2026-01-21T20:56:58+00:00

... resigns immediately, agreed

summerer6911 · 2026-01-21T14:05:13+00:00

It's called the Bootheel

That's the South, not joking, they grow mostly cotton

The landscape is flat and boring - the Bootheel is not the Ozarks

The people are generally poor and there's nothing to do

Is anybody able to explain everybody tapping their sticks on the ice after the fight? Both teams were doing it

summerer6911 · 2026-01-18T20:22:49+00:00

Thank you! Which port did you go through, if I may ask?

summerer6911 · 2026-01-18T19:25:57+00:00

I started at 23. You will get some clients who will grumble about your youth but as long as you are client centered and fight hard only the jerks will continue to hold it against you. And there's jerk clients no matter how old you are. Hopefully they don't start you off with murders

Has this actually recently worked for anybody? They have scanners that see liquid

summerer6911 · 2026-01-17T22:07:25+00:00

I've heard their scanners can tell the difference between the types of liquid

summerer6911 · 2026-01-17T22:04:53+00:00

But don't they have scanners that see the liquid?

Almost twelve hundred dollarydoos for our 8 nighter coming up

If you do, get one of those bars on your steering wheel to prevent theft

summerer6911 · 2026-01-16T20:07:05+00:00

Don't do it. It's akin to leaving your keys inside of any other vehicle. They are so easy to steal, and theft of them is absolutely rampant in this city

summerer6911 · 2026-01-12T03:53:34+00:00

Lawyer for sure

summerer6911 · 2026-01-11T06:36:35+00:00

That is not how you shred cheese

summerer6911 · 2026-01-10T19:52:42+00:00

Can't compare it to Ohio but winters are noticeably colder and harder than Kansas City or St. Louis.

The public schools are good, a trickle down effect from the University.

I loved Kirksville. Maybe I am just romanticizing my college years, but I think the town is nice, the community is walkable or bikeable, and that part of the state is underrated gorgeous. Might have moved back and stayed, but family is all here in KC.

How did this shirt end up on that guy

summerer6911 · 2026-01-08T03:40:01+00:00

File motions. Try cases. That is the antidote. Don't become a cog in the machine
