That is really shitty of you.

I don't know what's normal because I have a fake one, but I have heard there's been a Christmas tree shortage the last few years.

I heard their folks drove it up here from the Bahamas.

Our Coca-Cola bottler also bottles Dr Pepper, so you're not going to find it except for at a few soda fountains.

Or if you want to be super-technical about it you'd need a time machine, because Mr Pibb was replaced with Pibb Xtra about twenty years ago.

You could just buy some Dr. Thunder and mix some dirt and cigarette ashes in there, pretty sure it'd taste the same as Pibb :P I'm just teasing, Pibb is fine.

You're forgetting one VERY IMPORTANT FACT!!!!

SALT🧂🧂🧂DOES NOT⛔🚫⛔🚫 WORK WHEN IT'S TOO 🧊🥶🥶⛄❄️🥶😰🌨️ COLD OUTSIDE!!!?!!!?;;!;!

Please repeat this information ad nauseum anytime anyone mentions anything having to do with winter road conditions.

Depends on the house, the down payment, and what your idea of "comfortable" is. If you're a frugal person and have a fairly large down payment, then probably.

This factually correct comment should not be controversial, let alone sitting at -1.

What is going on in this sub?

Jesus. They even downvoted you for telling me to have a good one.

There was a similar thread earlier and I'm poking fun at the answers from that one.

Edit: And a couple of the comments here, looks like.

Stay safe!

No no, you don't understand. You just need to git gud, because salt doesn't work when it's too cold. I know you didn't mention salt, but salt does not work when it's too cold. Apparently snowplows also turn to jelly when it's this cold I guess, I don't know.

But definitely remember to git gud because the city doesn't need to plow, you just need to drive better on snow. In fact, snow doesn't exist. You're hallucinating, it never snowed. It's fine.

To sum up, SALT DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT'S TOO COLD. Also git gud, and there's no snow. See your doctor. And get some salt for fuck sake. Good luck. Cool.

You replied to your own comment. Twice. Are you ok? Do you need us to call someone?

That's fair, I'll stand corrected on that part. I genuinely didn't see them, and was out long enough that I thought I would have.

I don't have a problem driving in snow, but that doesn't mean the city shouldn't be better at clearing the roads. You're trivializing the need to travel was what I was responding to. Not everyone has the luxury of staying home.

I didn't mention anything about salt, and my main point was that the city consistently does a poor job clearing the streets.

I mentioned the article because the city claims that plows are out keeping the roads clear when, regardless of the reason, they do not appear to be.

Reading comprehension is lacking on this sub, I know. But Jesus.

Yes, because no one needs to travel for work or emergencies or anything. There's really no need to clear the roads at all.

They always do a horrible job and have as long as I can remember. You're actually better off if you live outside the city.

This article states:

> The City of Springfield says they have snow plows working 24 hours today to help keep roads clear throughout the city. They are encouraging drivers to remember to space for snowplows.

Frankly, I think that's a lie. I didn't see one city snowplow when I was out driving yesterday, nor on the traffic cameras I looked at last night. There's no evidence of plowing on the roads that I can see, either.

I was just referring to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/springfieldMO/comments/zrxjyq

I think you're talking about the Jordan Creek Tunnels/Vampire Tunnels.

But now I've said too much, they'll be coming for me...

The roads aren't that bad. However, the cold is the real issue. If you did happen to get stuck, it could be potentially dangerous if you aren't prepared for it. I'd stay home if possible.

Maybe he just wanted to invite you to Goth Church.

There was also one about mysterious flyers on windshields at Walmart.

3spooky5me!

I remember that post, but I think she was referring to her brother's delusions, not that there actually was a church of the dragon-raven-god or whatever it was she mentioned.

The REAL Goths were conquered by the Byzantine Empire in the 700s and have since died out, so this guy is also a poser.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope he's ok.

In case there's someone still out there who doesn't already know, it's going to get stupid cold: https://www.ky3.com/2022/12/19/first-alert-weather-winter-storm-watch-wind-chill-watch-issued-part-ozarks/

I wasn't wondering, I already knew it was going to be pit bulls.
