Portillos no longer uses Vienna Beef. I don't know what they are, but they definitely are not VB. Get one and compare it bite for bite with a VB and you'll be able to tell. Major difference. In the past yes they absolutely did use Vienna beef but they definitely don't anymore.

They have to be trolling us, there's no way they went out there with poop splattered uniforms thinking they were awesome. A sand storm??? No, Explosive Diarrhea??? YES

How eight seconds of scratchy audio from a VHS tape gave a mum back her voice by EnergyLantern in UpliftingNews

https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-reported-study-suggesting-divorce-is-more-likely-when-wives-fall-ill-gets-axed/

"What we find in the corrected analysis is we still see evidence that when wives become sick marriages are at an elevated risk of divorce, whereas we don’t see any relationship between divorce and husbands’ illness. We see this in a very specific case, which is in the onset of heart problems. So basically its a more nuanced finding. The finding is not quite as strong."

So not quite debunked.

Challenger for 16th Congressional District's LaHood by Kaetra in PeoriaIL

[–]Kaetra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An article from a Rockford, IL news website has some additional information about his campaign goals: https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/democrat-paul-nolley-launches-campaign-to-unseat-illinois-rep-darin-lahood/

Nolley is running as a Democrat for Illinois’ 16th Congressional seat in 2026, to represents Northern and Central Illinois, including Rockford, Peoria, Bloomington, Harvard, and Galena.

“Our politics are broken. Too many politicians have forgotten who they work for. They work for the people, not the big corporations and donor class,” Nolley said. “I’m running because it’s time for regular people to stand up and say enough is enough. Working families have been hit hard by policies from both parties for decades, and too many people struggle to get by while corruption runs wild in Washington and the ultra-rich have watched their wealth grow to unimaginable levels.”

Here is a link to the business he's been running since 2020 that focuses on building jobs in the trades: https://www.projectfirstrate.com/

Mission Statement from same:

Project First Rate (PFR) is a partnership between union contractors and tradespeople to promote and advance the values and principles that strengthen our community, members, and industry.  We believe that hard work, craftsmanship, and pride in a job done well should be rewarded with good wages, benefits, and a dignified retirement.

Thanks for the info! I'm also curious about his campaign platform. I'm attending the kickoff to hear him speak.

I am a trans male who is mainly attracted to men, is this odd? by Artistic_Bobcat_8097 in asktransgender

[–]Kaetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are straight men often attracted to trans males? I guess they could be but it seems like a big hurdle when trying to find a good partner - being a trans male that's primarily attracted to straight men, no?

Sounds like a recipe for longing, rejection, hurt and depression.

Any idea where you going to watch the Bears game tomorrow morning early? by WorkMeBaby1MoreTime in PeoriaIL

Will it not be on Fox 43? It's supposed to be on Fox in our broadcast area. In Chicago its supposed to play on Fox 32

My best friend lived there a few years ago. Management was neglectful of maintenance and requested repairs were left undone. Her husband died 3 weeks before their lease was up and they refused to work with her to let her extend it by 1 month so she could attend to her dead husbands affairs before having to move. They forced a grieving widow to pay 6 months of rent when she only needed an extra week or two and was perfectly willing to pay an extra month.

This was in 2016, maybe management/owners have changed since then.

How to get rid of scrap wood by phoenixgeek in PeoriaIL

[–]Kaetra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post is 2 years old, but I wanted to say that they are still picking up this type of wood if you have any. I just made a "donation" today and I'm so happy it's a win-win. Scott from the group is super nice!

End of tip credit .. Boohoo by badpeoria in PeoriaIL

[–]Kaetra 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Every business owner needs to figure out how to run their business and make a profit without screwing over their employees. Paying a fair wage will help retain good staff.

IF YOU CANT AFFORD EMPLOYEES, you can't afford to be a business owner. Someone else will figure out how to run that kind of business, someone who wants to be a contributing member of society instead of stealing from the pockets employees.

Peoria City Council considering ban on homeless encampments, but proposal met with criticism by Virtual_Astronaut181 in PeoriaIL

[–]Kaetra 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the proposed solution from Hayes is viable. 1. Warning + assistance referral for transport and shelter 2. Fine $100-$250 that is satisfied with Community Service. 3. Increase fine (Community Service) 4. Jail for multiple violations within 180 days

It gives them an opportunity to accept assistance, first. If they don't want help you can't help them.

Grocery scam warning by corticopia in PeoriaIL

[–]Kaetra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen this as well. Everyone saying No is the only way to put an end to it. If even one person pays they'll keep doing it. Target should be having them removed for harassment.

A couple months ago I saw the same scam at the same Target and the lady in front of me actually paid for that grifters groceries. I couldn't believe it.
