Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for someone who does kitchen remodeling in the Joplin area. I’m looking to remodel my kitchen and would like to find someone reliable who does quality work at a fair price.

Are there any rave/edm communities in the Joplin or surrounding areas? I’m missing the community really bad, and I can’t always go to KC. I’d love to make some rave friends out here that like to get together and dance to some music. Please DM me! I’d like to get to know you guys and hang out!😭

This week's question: Tried a new format, is this better than the table that got demolished when I tried to edit it last week? lol

Anyone else planning on going to this? Sounds like there are going to be a couple of demos, explanations of vulnerabilities, and a Q&A. Should be interesting.

Flock needs to go away.

Starts at 3p today (August 16th).

People aren't real. Believing in someone just to find out they were always fake. Ill become a villain. Thank you city of joplin. You have created a monster

Hey I just got my own heat press and I wanna start pressing my own t shirts. I wanna come up with some designs but I would like someone to work off of. I’m also not very skilled in drawing or coming up with sketches, but I have many ideas. Would love if anyone would like to help show off some of their art skills. Thank you 🙏

Good morning all,

I am hoping to BEGIN the process of organizing a group of statewide citizens from any and all political camps and ideally every legislative district who are interested in bringing the issue of automated, warrantless and persistent camera surveillance to the ballot. Often, these are broadly categorized as "ALPR" or just "Flock cameras."

TL;DR: I believe it is time to enshrine in Missouri's Constitution that all Missourians are protected from suspicion-less, automated government surveillance and its downstream uses whatever they would or could be.

The Missouri IP process requires that initiative petitions are both single subject and that the "sum of their parts" properly connect matters to that single subject. Missouri's courts generally construe this liberally and in favor of the citizens leading the petition so long as the amendment in question reasonably implements a change for a single, narrow purpose.

Draft header: The people shall be secure from indiscriminate automated governmental surveillance of their lawful movements, travel, location, and associations. No governmental entity shall collect, retain, acquire, purchase, search, disclose, or use information obtained through an automated surveillance system except as expressly permitted by this article.

I would propose the following "properly linked matters" as the primary content of the amendment:

A. No Revenue Use

Government may not use this type of equipment to impose or collect fines, fees, tolls, taxes, civil penalties, forfeitures of any kind, debts or any other involuntary monetary liability.

B. Evidentiary Prohibition

Surveillance data concerning a person or private vehicle is inadmissible unless surveillance of that individual was authorized by a warrant based on probable cause before the information was captured. Indiscriminate fixed-location or mobile surveillance camera dragnets cannot be retrospectively used by law enforcement to build a criminal case.

C: Local Democratic Control

Fixed surveillance installations must be publicly disclosed, and a defined petition threshold for communities shall trigger a public hearing. If a jurisdiction fails to hold such hearing, operation of any kind of this surveillance equipment shall be suspended. A second, higher petition threshold shall compel a referendum vote on the camera's continued operation at the fixed location.

Anti-circumvention: Government actors nor their agents or associates shall not evade the article by purchasing, requesting, sharing, contracting for, or otherwise obtaining from a private company or separate governmental entity not operating in the state of Missouri data it could not constitutionally collect itself. This article is self-executing.

I am most concerned with how to build or attack part C. Undoubtedly, you are going to have cities, towns, counties, subdivisions, whatever which will challenge this as burdensome or say they have no referendum process in place that could satisfy this, and that they should not have to create one. This is a very, very early draft. I believe the issue is ripe and it would be a mistake not to get a ballot issue OF THIS KIND before voters by 2028, if not sooner.

Kid is about start school so we will be visiting from time to time. Where are some good places to eat here?

By this, I mean the data center proposal. The Liberty Utilities scandal with their billing system and the 40% rate hike at the PEAK of summer. Flock cameras being installed when NO ONE asked for it. Local law enforcement seems more concerned about harassing the homeless than anything else. The disrespect from Joplin City Council when it meets its constituents on ANY of these critical issues, while a particular council member plays on his phone like a 16 year old girl and shares ideas from a man who's a self proclaimed "theocratic fascist".The out of control drug abuse issues that's plaguing this town. The youth are fleeing this town because very few resources are thrown their way, and judging by what little I see on Facebook, everyone remaining is just miserable. Even a few local pools are closed down and many of these never-ending infrastructure projects on main roads are hurting small businesses in ways I've never seen before. Rent? Astronomical, because private equity firms have been snatching up all the single family homes.

All of this feels cynical and abusive.

These things shouldn't even be a left vs right issues, but in a sense it needs to be a personal political issue to Joplin because I can't for the life of me understand how people are sitting well with all of this. This is becoming too much.
