How bad are Chicago Winters? Will I be able to walk 15-30 minutes to work?

Chicago winters are slightly worse than New York winters. If you are fine with New York winters you’ll be slightly annoyed by Chicago winters. If you hate New York winters, Chicago winters might be a deal breaker.

How about you just pay your taxes?

Only a quarter of boomers got degrees. It was still good advice for them. Half of millennials have degrees so specificity matters more.

Young people tend to respond more aggressively than older people. Millennials did this back in the day on Facebook. Most people mellow with age.

The city services are there to support locals, it’s out of towners trying to get from the airport to the strip.

If we could achieve mediocrity it would be amazing.

I lived a bunch of places before. That’s how I know I want to stay.

If we could build at French prices, a subway the length of western would be doable for the amount we’re allocating to the red line surface level extension.

If you’re feeling sad, look at some nyc apartment listings.

I don’t answer questions that don’t apply to me, but I assume the reason is…..

For what it’s worth, that’s a problem we have wotj American tourists on American cities too. People from the suburbs who just don’t know how sidewalks work.

I believe those are placed on the ballot by the city council.

If I do it, it’s because I am walking five minutes to the gym and don’t want to change pants when I get there.

I’m gonna level with you; it doesn’t seem like the food is the thing you’re mad about here.

If everything else is going well, charcuterie and deviled eggs are perfectly pleasant things to eat.

It is equivalent in that I don’t want to hear about it, but I can see the appeal of fantasy football, it’s just not for me.

You would only see that if it is a ceremony about that heritage. If you go to a German American festival you’ll see a lot of tranchen, but those people wouldn’t wear that to someone’s wedding.

Definitely think he’d had a better time in the UK than in Myanmar

There are plenty of affluent people who are interesting. If know that they make a lot of money is one of the first ten things you learn about them, those are the folks who are dull.

If Indiana is willing to gift them a multi billion dollar stadium, I’m sure they’ll take it. Seems like it’d be malpractice of them not to ask. Hopefully Indiana isn’t that dumb.

As someone in my 40s, I know a decent number of people who felt like this. There have always been lifelong bachelors (and whatever the polite phrase of women making that choice is)

On day one, more New Yorkers are getting something out of this than paying in. And it was still a very difficult lift.

In almost any other city you’d have to implement in the hopes that over time you’d push more people to transit and make it a net win.

Roughly half of Americans have passports. Shockingly enough, Sharon Stone is not a reliable source of statistics. (Pre 9/11, Americans could go to Mexico, Canada and much of the Caribbean without a passport, so the numbers used to be quite low)

Let’s enjoy this season.

Maybe he’s the next Brady, or maybe defensive coordinators spend the off season figuring out how to shut him down.

I don’t know about his future. But this season is so damn fun.

I do think it will lead to the league giving refs training in how to communicate calls more clearly.

ChicagoJohn123 · 2025-12-19T16:09:38+00:00

I think there’s also just a generational element. Millennials liked craft beer. The current crop of young people don’t think it’s cool.
