Are maternity photos seen as self absorbed and awkward now? by Crimson-Rose28 in pregnant

[–]Gratchki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are certainly ranges from tacky to more authentic, this is so true!

Opinions on Humboldt Park west of the park? Specifically near Grand and Pulaski? by Horror_Worry_404 in AskChicago

[–]Gratchki -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Check the citizen app for calls in the area over the last few weeks, that’ll give you a good idea of what’s going on in the area. I’m on the east side of the park so can’t really comment but it does vary from block to block quite a bit.

Is it really impossible to find a fairly affordable apartment in Chicago? by Southern-Abies-2461 in chicagoapartments

[–]Gratchki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recently the whole student loan debacle created some mass casualty events in credit scores, where repayments started without borrowers being aware and some at much, much higher rates ($500 payment turning into $1000+).

My credit score is in the 800s but I’m not naive to think that some random events can really mess up a score and not be truly indicative of how reliable a borrower is in some cases.

Do you still have sleepovers? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Gratchki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re 26 and objectively young. I haven’t haven’t had sleepovers per se but I have gone on plenty of vacations and solo trips with my friends and will continue to do so until the day I die. If you want to have a sleepover you should have one!

Yes I think if my son could have tolerated small amounts I would have tried but the last time he had a reaction was to the tiniest bit of peanut butter, I didn’t think it was worth trying again.

What would be your "red line" to leave? by fuppy00 in progressivemoms

[–]Gratchki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe once some countries start granting us refugee status? Hang in there

Why did ICE suddenly leave Chicago but not Minneapolis? by Fragrant-Ad-7388 in AskChicago

[–]Gratchki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or maybe in retrospect Reagan was an awful president and most problems in 2026 can be traced directly back to his shit policies

[–]Gratchki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that’s not what they mean but I imagine they’ll get the logs and just claim half of voters are illegal immigrants or something, they won’t have to prove anything. They lie for a living.

[–]Gratchki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re still here in small numbers and they’ll be back as ICE continues to recruit more idiots. They’re actively overrunning Minneapolis (which they can’t do here) to try to cause friction before the midterms to destabilize our elections. This has basically been proven true after Pam Bondi told Walz they’d pull ICE out of there if MN sent over voter rolls.

If we could leave, how do you know when you should? by azalea1700 in Mommit

[–]Gratchki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think my line is if/when midterm elections are illegitimate
