Kids are falsely reporting shootings after seeing what happened in nashville this morning. Reports have to be taken seriously until it can be proven there is no threat so schools are going into lockdown

Reply to Does this area have as much crime as people say ..? People keep telling me this is crackhead central. by shdwfknbnd

It's not crack so much as crystal meth. And it's a pretty severe problem. And seems to be getting uglier. I moved here 20 years ago from a pretty sketchy part of Philadelphia, so the north side of Springfield isn't super intimidating, there is a lot of poverty and drugs, but mostly genuinely good-hearted people experiencing bad luck.

Those south towns you mentioned are nice. Nixa has fantastic schools, Republic is growing a lot faster than its infrastructure was prepared for, but it's also a great town.

Battlefield is a wonderful tiny town, and Ozark has a lot to offer.

If you can, while most of the north side folks are good neighbors, I'd still choose to live south of Sunshine.

Reply to comment by Advanced_Car1599 in I see your “everything is Jewish” posts and I raise you the worst I’ve ever seen by sammyf0712

I'm just saying that I think a "half truth" is a thing, and not just media jargon. Don't take my word on it though, it's in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and the Collins Dictionary.

>From a legalistic standpoint, "the whole truth" refers to the truthful statement plus context or suggested evidence to support the truthful statement. The "whole truth" does not imply there is any ambiguity around the factual occurrence of the event/etc in question based on context.

TheLawDictionary.org defines a half-truth as:

"a deceitful act where only part of the truth is told where all of the truth will lead to a different conclusion."

This reads to me like there is ambiguity due to the lack of full context.

Reply to Has anyone bought a house from Trendsetter? by Meek_Money

Not related to Trendsetter, however as someone who once upon a time moved into a new build house, you need to budget for small things a used house would have. Including, backyard infrastructure and window treatments. And getting both done can be a pain in the ass and more costly than someone who just bought a house would want to spend. (Unless you both make excellent money, then please disregard).

Used houses might also have small personalized touches that a new build might not have off the bat. Such as backsplash, upgrades, etc.

The builder may offer such things but they will charge a premium because they expect you to finance it through the mortgage company.

Does anyone know how I can find out about the cops at the Ozark school? Tried looking up a subreddit but I'm not very good at all this
