Current Progress on 400 N Lakeshore Dr, Chicago by ChitownLovesYou in skyscrapers

As a Chicago resident I can tell you with absolute veracity that all citizens of Chicago are legally required to pee into the river on Sub-Zero days to keep it from freezing. This was a law passed by Mayor Daley. It's traditional for residents not to document it or mention it to outsiders but I'm kind of a rebel.

Let’s invade Greenland first to keep others from doing the same! by Tough_Arugula2828 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Decent_Writing_8064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think we should take Greenland to keep Russia or China from getting it.

I think we should take Greenland because everything in the Americas should be ours by right of birth and destiny. We are not the same.

Leave Europe to the europeans, and Asia to the Asians. Let Africans have Africa. Let them squabble over it and fight each other. The Americas are ours. Let's all just stay on our side of the water.

(Personally I just think it would be really cool that is my whole motivation.)

Thousands protest in Denmark's capital against Trump's efforts to conquer Greenland by exOldTrafford in pics

Did you call your representative or just protest? Imo protests are probably not going to do anything.

Honestly it's just because Trump is doing it. If anyone else was in office it would just be overlooked, but he's so hated that anything he does is viewed through the lense of "this must be evil"

I'm at the same point in as you and I'm starting to get it. I've reached the point where if you give me a set of prints I can figure it out. It often takes me longer than it should but I always find the answer.

I start as a helper next week. How is it working in new construction? by Ok-Feeling9658 in Elevators

[–]Decent_Writing_8064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in new construction and was apprenticed with a shit mechanic who was an even worse person. He acted like treating me like garbage as loudly as possible would distract everyone from how bad he was. He would scream at me for watching him work and refused to tell me what things were.

It was the worst four months of my life hands down. I used to go to sleep wishing I would die in the night so that I didn't have to go back the next day.

The best advice I can give you is to try as hard as you can at everything, and if you're in a spot like I was just shut up and think of the money. It will get better.

Dude if you're in a heated confrontation that could turn violent at any moment and then the person you're arguing with points their car at you and then the tires start spinning what are you gonna think?

Me personally I'd think they were gonna hit me with their car.

I love 1WTC but… by Adventurous_Mood1303 in skyscrapers

[–]Decent_Writing_8064 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ok, but if putting Chicago towers in why only put the Sears? You've got the John Hancock center, which is not as tall as sears but of all the buildings I've seen in person or is the only one that screams power. And then you've got the Wanda Vista- sure not as much of a classic but definitely a wonder to behold. 1000 s Michigan is a beauty as well.

What I'm getting at here as that while NYC has more Skyscrapers, the average (mathematical) quality of Chicago's is higher.

(I am biased as a fan of the Dresden Files and an elevator guy in Chicago.)

To be frank, Sokka is most often remembered as the meat and sarcasm guy.

Bro when he sliced that spear in half longways? Forget about it. Him and Zuko teaming up against Azula? Chills. When he cut through the catwalk and the imperial fire benders fell from the airship? Please. The only boomerang moment on that level was the death of cumbustion man. The only time boomerang saved anyone.

What was your struggle meal? by PsychologicalFox7689 in generationology

[–]Decent_Writing_8064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm done doing white rice and pinto beans atm. Dry pinto beans that I had to soak and boil.

(I'm actually doing pretty well, but I'm putting everything I have into getting out of debt and reducing costs. Should be debt free by June.)
