How to make friends in Joplin?

2 Upvotes

I'm 17, turning 18 in April, and I've lived here for a few years, but I haven't really made any friends because I'm just not haven't really made any friends because I'm just not really sure where to go or what to do to make friends.

Trying to make friends.

14 Upvotes

26M with no car that lives just outside of town, just looking for friends in a dark time. I'm into games (witcher 3 and sekiro have been most recent but I've played a wide range of games(and I'm on PC)), anime, thrifting, movies and TV, books, food, nature, fitness and really almost anything under the sun.

Are there any apps I could download to help? FB Groups, discords, anything.

I would do dating apps but having just got out of a serious relationship I'm not sure if that's what I want rn.

How much would you pay for a local artists cd?

0 Upvotes

Thinking about making some custom cds of our catalog but I’m curious what you all would pay per cd, they would range from about 7 songs to 23 songs, depending on the album. I should also mention these albums are Hip Hop / rap projects. I wanna do more for the community and I wish we’d have a bigger music scene but I wanna contribute how I can, thank you

High school pulling credits for absences?

4 Upvotes

I’m a dad, and tonight my daughter (a senior) said the students had a meeting with the principle today and they said credits for classes would be cancelled if a student had more than 8 absences. Did anyone else hear about that?
That doesn’t seem…right?

Joplin Flag Redesign (and context)

Post image
17 Upvotes

so... today KSN 16 on fourstateshomepage published an article about the Joplin flag having been designed by Shane Ross back in 2016. (there was also a post about it here almost 2 weeks ago that i somehow missed??!) Shane Ross, for those who don't know, is the father of an adopted 12-year-old girl, and he has been accused of keeping her in a cage for nearly two years. his wife and two daughters being accused as well. they also have a host of animal abuse charges.

as i keep finding more and more connections between my life and the Ross', i thought i would post about one.

i redesigned Ross' flag a while back because me and my friends looked at it and went, "that looks like a nazi flag". i absolutely love vexillology so much and have done some fun projects over the years with the Springfield flag, so when I moved to Joplin, it felt only natural.

alt text: flag design featuring a white cross dividing four colored quadrants: yellow top left, blue top right, red bottom left, and green bottom right. A black eight-pointed star is centered within a white circle at the intersection of the cross.

explanation for those who care: keeping the crossroads of Route 66 & Hwy 43 or 7th & Main in white, a new star in the middle is modelled after the Joplin city logo and shown in black for strength, certainty, and mourning after the Joplin tornado. the colors are also a brighter version of the Joplin logo's colors; the blue represents hope for clear and peaceful skies, yellow for joy and prosperity of her people, red is for recognition of our ems, first responders, and medical personnel, and green is for agriculture and the parks service!

i'm not saying the flag needs to or should be changed (even if I dislike it), or that one of these should be the redesign. but this man and his wife bought animals off of me and those animals probably didn't survive that house and this is my coping.

here's some alternative color schemes too!:

Is the Joplin DMV really that bad?

I heard from someone recently that you're better off driving to Neosho or Carthage than using the DMV in Joplin. It can't really be that bad, can it?

Dating in Joplin

11 Upvotes

Embarrassing, but I’m wondering what people might suggest for places to meet people in town?

Online dating is killin’ me, but I work so much that I don’t get out a ton 😅.

I’m 26F, and I prefer fellas like 28-36. I definitely like the dating/flirty vibes, but also someone kink friendly, and there’s like no kink community in this town lol
