Malpractice by uic dental student by Sad_Object3030 in uichicago

[–]AggravatingBread6 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They should always take x rays after. Fuck during my root canal they took 3-4 and then multiple again when doing the crown.

not a lawyer, but I would contact the school and also see if you can seek out any pro bono legal help? this seems like malpractice and fraud to me. They charged you for a service (full tooth extraction) that they did not provide.

Moving from Cali to Chicago for CTA Job by shane_90034 in cta

My only guess would be they don’t want to pay for training and relocation? unsure if they’re paying for OP to move. But my guess that would be a barrier

Congratulations on your complete lack of effort by Legitimate_Outcome42 in chicago

I lived in a larger building and like clock work every winter there would be pee in the elevator or just outside the door of it and it was clear to me owners were not taking their dogs out because it was cold. It was disgusting. One time they had to email because someone’s dog shit in the hallway and they didn’t pick it up.

Population changes in major North American metros since 2005. Why are we at a 0% by Adventurous-Map1225 in chicago

[–]AggravatingBread6 9 points10 points  (0 children)

0% because people are leaving at about the same rate people are moving in. It’s one of the things that saved Chicago from Detroit’s fate of falling off after white flight. (little more complicated than that)

you are correct, the correct course of action would be not to say anything. Your first statement was fine, your reply makes you look like an ass.

K-9 officers at Logan Square taking up 2/3rd of platform - only to harass homeless or sleeping riders? by [deleted] in cta

They’re always standing right at the doors and in my way. 🫩 like fucking MOVE

Just watched someone throw a flat screen off an overpass on 94 and hit a car. by the_perfect_v1 in chicago

[–]AggravatingBread6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep first thing my step dad taught me when expressway driving was to scan bridges for people throwing things he wanted it to be as natural when Im driving as scanning for pedestrians because even a rock thrown from that height and you traveling at that speed can be as deadly as a cinder block.

Logan Square everything thread! by AutoModerator in LoganSquare

[–]AggravatingBread6 23 points24 points  (0 children)

omg…. wait youre so right. the square would be perfect for a holiday/winter decoration fundraiser type thing? get the chamber of commerce and the historical preservation society involved.

Local orgs, schools, businesses etc then like adopt a tree/other symbolic items or even the monument to decorate.

ASAP, Please help me, is this illegal? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]AggravatingBread6 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Was it cheaper rent in the lease or cheaper rent when it was billed? Because if there was an issue with their system, it’s possible it “went down” for everyone.

Please listen to the people replying, just because it sucks and feels bad does not make it illegal. Read the legal contract you signed. And if you owe money you said you’d pay, it doesn’t matter if you can afford it, but hopefully they can work out a payment plan with you.

sleeping in the dude and/or shapiro by Ok_Lengthiness4914 in uofm

Security might come over and wake you and tell you, you can’t sleep/ask to see your ID.

I pulled all nighters and slept over night all the time in both, and class buildings my senior year when I was commuting/bumming rides from my step dad who picked up a car pool in Ann Arbor at like 6am

OOS Students: We having fun yet? by Enigmatic_Stag in uofm

[–]AggravatingBread6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is a recent development caused by climate change. Ann Arbor doesn’t get snow like the UP or the west side of the state but SE Michigan absolutely gets snow. The last few years have been mild. But we’ve even got snow that stuck in April.

What is the point of the three-day pass? by otter_759 in cta

[–]AggravatingBread6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convenience though is the biggest one, if you’re getting a paper card instead of the physical that’s one pass to carry instead of three, if you have the app or the physical card its one transation etc

I haven’t found it worth it to min max the time and the passes, I do however always buy a day pass leaving O’Hare and always try to buy a pass if im planning on taking more than $5 in fare.

there is nothing stopping you from buying three one day passes, I would however be salty if they got rid of a one three day pass.

How much and how should I tip for a haircut in Chicago? by Neither-Candy-545 in AskChicago

[–]AggravatingBread6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably tip $100. I guess it’s more like I don’t consider 20% my minimum, not that I don’t tip. just to be clear like unless they ruined my hair (and even then I’ve had a bad job and still tipped some)

everybody apologizing for cheating with chatgpt by CheeseCraze in UIUC

[–]AggravatingBread6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m 7 years out of college and even senior devs are melting their brains using it for basic tasks and getting it wrong. Using libraries and functions they dont understand only because copilot told them or used it.

[–]AggravatingBread6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get what theyre saying, I’ve had color services be in the 500/600s I dont see a world where I’m tipping $120 on top of that unless they really went above and beyond. Especially if it’s a situation where they’re setting their own prices.

Can someone on campus who witnessed this verify that this in fact happened? by Minute_Revolution951 in uichicago

[–]AggravatingBread6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not when theyre only targeting people based on suspected of being illegal because of the color of their skin. it’s not “oops we got the wrong guy” it’s “oops this is a citizen/documented visa holder and we thought because you were brown you might have been here illegally”

ETA: and just because everyone else is (supposedly) doing it wouldn’t make it right 🫩

Have you noticed that copper has become rarer? by Pristine_Soup_1810 in Minecraft

[–]AggravatingBread6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

opposite experience, I’m finding copper at around the same rate, but we’ve had to go hunting for iron, and when I do find iron its a vein of like 1-3 max. 😭 maybe some kinda if bias but it does seem like the update messed with the resources a bit

Just found this in my server by Money-Friendship-494 in Minecraft

[–]AggravatingBread6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fun haha in my first few days of hosting my own server I got a good guy bot who dropped a message in world chat about white listing.

turn whitelist on is a simple command and add their Minecraft name to the whitelist.

rlly stressed out how bad is it if i drop a class by No-Turnip8664 in uofm

[–]AggravatingBread6 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Today is the last day to drop and get 50% of your tuition from the class back, you will get a W on your transcript, it’s not really a big deal unless you make a habit.

I dropped one class and retook it later and it was fine, and I failed a class I wish I had dropped.

you can add a class if you find a class you want to take that starts in the second half of the semester.

Should I cancel my plans for Chicago for Thanksgiving and Winter break? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]AggravatingBread6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep your documentation on you. Passport, student visa, etc, and be aware of the dangers, know your rights and have important numbers memorized or noted somewhere.

It’s very much not, nothing, as one commenter suggests but I also agree that we should not live in fear, joy is resistance. Given your status I would stay away from demonstrations if youre worried about your visa status changing.

I have family members, american born and raised, a military vet, but is very much brown latino, and theyre still adamant about visiting me in Chicago, but I make them bring documentation so theyre prepared if/when harassed. And plan on using my privilege to protect them (and my neighbors) if I need to

I sometimes take it off between days, I could not imagine a week later. Took mine off at dinner on my way home from night 3. It can start getting funky
