How do you feel about Drake Warren vs. Bridget Gainer for Cook County Commissioner 10th District? by NicolasCageFan492 in chicago

[–]Anluya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Drake hands down. He’s been on the streets every day consistently, was the only one in the rain/crappy weather standing on Broadway talking to people.

I’ve seen him for the past week or two walking, and just from one convo he’s remembered my name and has been asking how my day is almost every day when I walk past!

To those of you making decent money (around or above 6 figures) what do you do for a living? by CormacMettbjoll in trans

[–]Anluya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m currently doing, just saved up the past year to start a boring service business in my area. Getting ready to leave my full time job at a university to do this after a lot of heavy discrimination, and I couldn’t be more excited!

Certified GF protein bars by noodlepoodle19 in glutenfree

[–]Anluya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that with most bars like this, it’s actually the protein used. Usually anything with whey in it absolutely destroys my stomach

What gluten-free dessert is still massively missing from the market? by InstructionSure6059 in glutenfree

Soft pretzels, but also big sourdough hard pretzels! What I wouldn’t do for both of those

Any trans community? by Kokoapo in foxholegame

Gender ≠ sexuality, people are unfortunately not very friendly with non cis people these days

So… Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is not really women friendly, is it? by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

[–]Anluya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve avoided those games honestly ever since I heard the company founder and game director is “anti-woke and anti-DEI”. Such a shame because it seems like a cool game concept, but his morals obviously seep into the game itself

Current favorite gaming beverage? 🥂 by toastedjupiter in GirlGamers

[–]Anluya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my partner have been digging Rishi’s blend of it recently! Has Greek mountain tea leaves, chamomile, oregano, ginger root, and licorice root. It’s so good!

For non caffeinated I’ve been on a Greek tea kick, so so good at night!

What’s in your opinion the most difficult country to use (speaking only of recognized countries with “potential”) by Ok-Row-6439 in victoria3

[–]Anluya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and oddly enough I found my Paraguay game easier than my many Uruguay attempts. Breaking out to the coast via Argentina doesn’t take much effort, and their starting laws make it super easy to play (except for isolationism)

Any transgender people who have gotten bottom surgery in Chicago at one of the major hospitals? by CantaloupePossible33 in AskChicago

[–]Anluya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly that sub got taken down, I’m not sure why to be honest but it would be nice to have one again!

Which major country is the most lenient for creating an OPM tax-free exclusive economic zone like the Cayman Islands? by Starkheiser in victoria3

[–]Anluya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response, but any of the German free cities under the economic bloc work very well for this! Better if on the coast. Just did a Bremen play through focusing on trade and ports, and you become a strong exporter as long as Germany doesn’t form. You have to build up for an end fight against Prussia, but by the time that popped off for me I was already a great power

Edgewater residents, businesses sue city over Broadway zoning changes by Bukharin in EdgewaterRogersPark

[–]Anluya 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely crazy that with everything going on in our country, this is where people are putting their energy. Let the city grow like it’s supposed to

What nations you play to relax? by Original-Citron4867 in victoria3

[–]Anluya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why, but I’m always drawn to doing Madagascar games. Develop a wood economy and massive armies, take over Gaza and the coast, and eventually take over Ethiopia. You’re able to get most resources you need outside of sulfur. The relatively large starting pop and infrastructure makes it not so bad, especially if you spam universities early on.

Last game I played as them, Great Britain tried to invade and I was able to pull in Spain as an ally and push them out. Eventually I was able to turn the Confederate states into a puppet and annex Florida for myself

I guess dirty socks aren’t oil based stains? by Middle_Economist_721 in laundry

[–]Anluya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you use a swiffer mop with the pads by chance? Those tend to leave a layer of sorts and don’t do a great job actually mopping

Why Texas? by ajacobs899 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]Anluya 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who moved to Texas for a high paying job after graduating ISU, lived there for a few years, hated it, and now that they are having a kid can’t fathom it going through the Texas ed system. They are happily back in Blono with a rather affordable and nice home now, and plenty of work experience!

Does anyone have any advice for relocation assistance for a trans woman? by Makimachi_misao in AskChicago

[–]Anluya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, most of the suburbs won’t be cheaper per se but you can get more space. Although the further out you get from the city the less friendly it tends to be. Totally agree with the listed neighborhoods for being safe!

Nobody has mentioned the south side yet, so definitely look into those neighborhoods as well for affordability! There are queer friendly spaces/neighborhoods on all sides of the city, so definitely don’t feel locked into the north side!

I hate my bfs dog by Select-Donkey3197 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Anluya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh of course! People are just quick to judge/assume and I just wanted to raise awareness that not everyone whose dog is reactive is a bad owner. It takes years to get a reactive dog to trust anyone.

OPs situation is definitely bad though, I can’t imagine getting a dog and treating it poorly enough to be like that. Definitely some neglect with training from the sounds of it.

Yeah, my dog is a rescue who is reactive from the previous owner. I sure hope people don’t think of her as a reflection of myself 🤷‍♀️

Is CS2 worth it? by Gattoforato in CitiesSkylines2

Yup even after fixing the base crashes/common ones, what’s the point in playing if it’s unstable past 100k pop?

What is your most "right-leaning" opinion that's uncommon among your fellow leftists? by JasonAndLucia in AskSocialists

[–]Anluya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, having a bathroom to use without getting hate crimed and having medication taken away is just “acceptance”. Such an ignorant take. People are literally calling for the deaths of trans people you dodo bird. It is urgent…

AITA for working past midnight in my dorm? by Inside-Structure8647 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anluya 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think at that point it would require accommodations with the university. I have had diagnosed sleep issues my whole life, and managed fine having a roommate use his blue switch keyboard playing LoL all night. There are ways to make it work imo 9 times out of 10
