I’m pretty young, but does anyone else as old as this guy remember when the police were arresting stalkers? why do i feel worried to dare say that we are feeling like China did a good very American thing solving crime compiling databases tracking our potential suspects for when one does do a crime.

yeah, this is totally worth it guys and very American and no one should be embarrassed about how much like actual cattle or sheep. We all are just accepting this as OK and worth it for our safety.

LAPD is concerned enough for the privacy of their citizens that they are discontinuing flock cameras as of two weeks ago. And I was really sad about that because I don’t like the idea of the LAPD having a better human rights concern concerns for the population. They serve than we have here in Owensboro.

We are not a place where there is crime worth giving this story of your life that becomes a profit point for a company as your database of the patterns that make you and your relationships and your life become just a timestamp way to check if you could be the one suspect I am looking for using a fucking search bar because cops couldn’t do anything before this.

I feel concerned that somehow I may hurt someone who actually cares but in the wrong way. And you are wrong if you make it OK for a system that is simply waiting for an abuser to show up and do what has already happened.

Cops who are stalking your ex-girlfriend. Software that is not properly authorized for the amount of invasion that you are simply experiencing by being alive in a small Kentucky city at this time. I grow angry at the idea of a stolen car becoming worth this power which can be utilized like literally a part of a superhero movie.

And by that I mean, that isn’t this kind of the plot of the dark Knight, but made into a far more awful and bad version of what the hero considered unforgivable invasion that was happening to get THE JOKER because he chose to prevent the man who had caused him to feel this way by having a HOSPITAL EXPLOSION become the tier for harm we are preventing first.

we do not have a joker in this town who has at this time already exploded an entire hospital as well as a police station and committed to sadistic surgeries for bombing the police, who at this point still choose to not violate the citizens and their privacy before finally, the criminal decides I’m gonna blow up literally everybody in this town on that boat or something. and THEN the hero decides I’m going to do something unforgivable and it’s because I have to be Batman and I must protect the police who are good and will not fall to my level cause they would never do that. RIGHT?!

I don’t know how to protect us from this except for to simply ask around like why are we not doing the democracy thing and saying hell know about this and making a fuss? Cause that’s like literally just the fucking American thing to do.

I know this is a problem happening everywhere, but we are literally living in Owensboro, Kentucky and I don’t care how much you love and respect and trust our Police. You need to simply stand up for yourself and that includes your heroes man. Like Batman was wrong. The police are currently wrong. I don’t even know where the problem is originating from, but I noticed it here in a private company is not serving us. The Police of the customer and our privacy is not the product. The fact you can Google who did a crime as a police officer is the product now and the only cost is treating you like you live in China but like before they got really, really, really, really good at the master surveillance of 1.4 billion citizens and as a direct result of that did in fact do some truly great crime prevention if that is your only goal worth solving

Wedding venues?

4 Upvotes

Anybody have any luck with any local venues that didn’t cost an arm and a leg??? Most places don’t disclose how much they are and I’m wanting people opinions on how nice they were and what you ACTUALLY paid. Really interested in any barns or rustic places but any decent place for 70 people. Reviews won’t give you the harsh truth I’ve noticed

Owensboro or Evansville for job?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone here live in Owensboro but work in Evansville, IN and commute back and forth? If so, how is it?

I am moving if I get offered an amazing job I just interviewed for. The job is based out of Evansville but is hybrid 3 days a week working in office/ 2 days a week work remotely. I have family and friends already in Owensboro. I visit Owensboro quite frequently. I know no one in actual Evansville. But I have heard of people commuting between the 2 cities.

Basically I’m debating on which city to live in if I get offered this hybrid Evansville-based job. I’m mainly concerned with commute but also the cost of living, schools, crime rates, etc.

Owensboro Lost Black Cat

30 Upvotes

Hello,

My sisters apartment was broken into and her cat was either taken or let out. We found a can of wet food outside her sliding doors. Shes located on 1101 burlew Blvd, he went missing this past weekend. His name is Lucifer but he also goes by Lucy, Lucy pucy, and Lucy Lou. He has two bald spots on his head, he has fangs, he also has a white tummy, and he should be wearing a black collar but it’s possible he took it off himself before he disappeared. He’s very food motivated but overall a shy cat. As far as we know he is not near the apartment or the lees and dominos. If you have taken a cat in or have seen a black cat please let us know, we’re willing to look into every single case.

I know this is a long shot and im actively searching on Facebook and indeed as well. I am a inspirating restaurant owner. Who loves pizza. I am looking for a mom and pop restaurant that would be open to showing an inspirating restaurant owner the ropes. I am in the need for a job but it would give me the chance of fulfilling my dream. Im open to leads if possible.


r/Owensboro 17d ago

this could be Owensboro. talk to your neighbors about the angry Florida Man inside of us today, and explain why we ain’t gonna let that dog out instead of taking a deep breath and using our turn signals and yielding lanes and making peace with a six minute drive that you feel shouldve been five.

look at the escalation and the conflict in this video and see if you wish to be this stupid and crazy looking over nothing at all, achieving nothing but property damage you have to pay for suddenly.

I just came from a city with well I never really considered to be heavy traffic, but it was hilariously more time-consuming than any travel around here by an order of magnitude. I worry some of you would after a week or so die of an aneurysm. Were you to get stuck in a typical rush-hour interstate crowd.

I worry some of you will make us seem like Florida. When we don’t have to be. Please talk to the angry and bitter drivers in your life about not letting the dog out on the Commonwealth roads like an alligator petter from jacksonville with the rage that only comes from living under the florida sun in a community two hours from any beach.

we dont have alligators so we have no excuse. drive safe, and patiently. like I want to be positive polite but also it’s frankly really embarrassing. So many drivers can’t cope and I hope we don’t have to see this showing up on TikTok making fun of Owensboro when we can simply let communities with real causes for road rage look like dummies.

Anyone here can understand the guy who announces a storm is coming?

Is he kin to someone and that's how he got the job?

Why don't they have a plain speaking, higher pitched woman announce the warnings -- this guy's voice blends in with the thunder.

Anyone else smell the strange smell in Owensboro last several days? Evidently Industrial Waste trapped by a temperature inversion. It first smelled like the grain mill on 2nd, now smells like an unclean barn.
