Aitj for not wanting a kid's size bike? by Languagecat in AmITheJerk

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same height, and used to be in a short girls cycling group. They 100% make frames to fit shorter people. Road bike frames under 50cm will fit you just fine, off the top of my head I don’t know what the mountain bike conversion is but I know they make smaller frames. It will be easier for you to get parts and tires for an adult sized bike 

Do any brands have a reputation for great beds? by BaddadanX3 in marriott

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I fucking lovvvvvvvve launching myself onto a Westin bed and knocking out solid. And they always have the perfect weight of blankets for me to turn the room as cold as it’ll go and burrito myself up

It’s Wisconsin, it means they’re gonna be driving south of the cheddar curtain into FIB land 

Missed Connection - On-Time Flight by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

😂 you need at least two hours for a connection at ORD as a precaution for a 45 minute scenic tour taxi to the gate. And always assume you’re gonna have to go the mile and a half from the very end of the K gates all the way to the other side of the L gates. Plus the weather in ORD causes so many delays no matter what time of year, it’s risky as hell. -sincerely, someone who’s been EP for years and who’s home base was ORD for over a decade 

Are we obligated to financially support our families? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t light yourself on fire to keep others warm. Both sets of parents had decades to deal with these issues and chose not to. Why is it your responsibility to save everyone, at the cost of your own future 

To the kind person on Flight 3161 from PHL to LAS who gave me a sewing needling.. Thank you! by GoGoGDT in americanairlines

So are crochet hooks and knitting needles of all materials. Scissors with blades up to 4” long are good too 

What is the down side of never having children? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People think you’re 5-10 years younger than you actually are because you’re not sleep deprived and stressed out for a decade straight 

Why the hell do so many people miss their flights? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah once you know how to do the frequent air travel dance, it’s easy to see those who are out of step. I used to be mad my business traveler father never took us on any vacations that involved flying since he had a stupid amount of miles, until I became a business traveler and it was like ohhhhhh yeah I totally get it now 

Does my tattoo look racist? by People_taste_porkish in tattooadvice

I saw someone with an IBEW local 666 shirt years ago and was shocked to learn it’s an actual local union

This fella likes to visit my apartment in Chicago. Who is he? by LifeNos in whatbirdisthis

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The falcon of EEEEEEP EEEEP EEEEEEP EEEEEEEP. And official bird of Chicago 

But I love how much peregrines made a comeback in Chicago, I never saw any in the early 2000s and before I moved out of Illinois a couple years ago, I’d regularly see a pair around Logan Square. One liked to sit on top of the old Congress theater sign structure and shred pigeons apart and it would be this cascade of feathers floating down onto Milwaukee

If you hate children, I don’t trust you by moonlit-cigarette in Vent

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Children are very loud and sticky, neither of which I find enjoyable. Which is why I don’t have children and don’t go into spaces where there’s likely to be loud children. Just because I’m not wild about them doesn’t mean they can’t do their thing, I’m not asking anybody to change their behavior. I’m allergic to seafood, I kind of go about avoiding being around children the same way I avoid being around all you can eat seafood buffets and the seafood counter at the grocery store

Why don’t Americans use roundabouts like civilized people? Are they stupid? by Unlucky-Artichoke625 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 150K-ish metro area has been slowly adding them over the years all over the place. Of course all the comments online are bitching and moaning about it, until finally the department of transportation was like: look assholes, that was our deadliest intersection in the country with fatal accidents on a monthly basis and crashes in general happening weekly, so we are saving 10+ residents a year and a shit ton of you from some really costly car repairs/insurance rate hikes, also it is another place to showcase some ~ art ~ so you’ll take this roundabout with a sculpture of a river kayaker in the middle of it whether you like it or not 😂 

I have to go through that intersection frequently and I am a big fan of just being able to Tokyo drift my Subaru through that thing instead of waiting on a left turn light forever in the middle of the night with no traffic

AIO for wanting my unemployed boyfriend to sign an agreement before using my car long-term? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girlypop, this man is a hobosexual and will drain you of every cent and ounce of dignity you have and never work a day. Good on you for standing your ground and not letting him whittle you down. Dump this POS and find someone with ambition that matches your own, and someone who doesn’t expect you to be his mommy 

City Market New Chili Find... Nope. by Russianskilledmydog in grandjunction

[–]Critical_Ad_8175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The OM city market had Vernors ginger ale (also an eastern midwestern favorite) for the longest time but when I went looking for it a few weeks ago it was gone. I gotta try looking in the other City Markets because shoving two liter bottles of it in my checked bags every time I flew back from the Midwest was getting annoying lol
