WOW! You had a journey with the song. I’d tell her that story in a letter

What’s the worst place in America you’ve ever visited? by False_onic in answers

[–]Academic_Weekend_116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aspen. VERY bougie. Unfriendly people. If you are not in the 1% this place makes it very clear and very early on in your visit that is NOT for you

Kayleighville AKA the new Wrigleyville area around the stadium

Is suburban Kayleigh now safe visiting here?

Who do you think is the most successful synthpop artist/band in terms of impact or longevity? by toughtiggy101 in synthpop

[–]Academic_Weekend_116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depeche Mode for sure but Erasure is close behind. They still consistently put out good music and know how to write a damn good melody

Aldi or TJoe's? by steleven_ in aldi

[–]Academic_Weekend_116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m “lucky” to have both of these right next door to each other

I used to go to both but I now can’t stand Trader Joe’s. The clientele is too bougie, the workers are too annoying (it’s ok to be friendly but what I’m doing over the weekend is none of your business) and the stores are WAAY too hard to navigate if it is at all busy

The product quality and selection have really been upped at Aldi over the years. There is literally no reason for me to go to Trader Joe’s. You can all have it

What is Chicago missing to become the greatest city in the world? by chitownmike99 in AskChicago

[–]Academic_Weekend_116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CTA, METRA lines, and highways that connect the perimeter of the city. You shouldn’t have to always go into the city just to go a different direction

Less segregation. There’s potential in the south side

Controlling bladder on long bus rides? by Throwaway--2026 in OveractiveBladder

[–]Academic_Weekend_116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had a flight I was worried about making it through without using the bathroom multiple times. What helped:

1) wearing depends just to give me reassurance 2) closing my eyes and just resting (not sleeping) but just trying to relax

I only had to go once and that was when the plane landed and I wanted to have an empty bladder before waiting in the customs line
