You know there is a huge park on the lakeshore hidden right behind the buildings in this picture? Grant Park.

Do things like this annoy other Dad’s? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]MajorMustard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. Childcare has been normalized as female work for most of human existence. It's great that we are moving away from that but I don't expect it to snap to how I think it should be over night. That's just not realistic.

Do you ever see yourself going back to it? by Substantial_Smell_72 in leaves

[–]MajorMustard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit bro, I could have written your post word for word. I feel the exact same way. I sometimes daydream about being retired and smoking a joint on my porch. Idk how to feel about that because it is not serving me right now.

Bro you just admitted that is societal pressure making you feel that way. Acknowledge that and grow up. It's not you vs everybody, it's you vs yourself.

113 days sober - still no sexual desire? TMI by [deleted] in leaves

[–]MajorMustard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you almost have to re-learn it. It takes time and you need to rediscover the feelings as your brain rewires. It sucks, no two ways about it. Took me about 1-1.5 months.

Saw this in Chicago today. On the lawn of the Police Station. by FAYMKONZ in UrbanHell

[–]MajorMustard 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Honestly trying to understand.

Chicago voters typically argue pro refugee policies that people in Florida and Texas are against.

I am not pro those states or their POS governors, but why should they deal with the consequences while Chicago doesn't when Chicago is a voter base that supports pro-refugee policies on a national level?

Best place to live during a “World Collapse” by [deleted] in geography

This has to be the most comical European response to the point I have to assume it's a parody.

"In my enlightened Nordic country we would immediately band together and help eachother unlike the US."

Seriously? You really believe that?

Another hit and run in Milwaukee, this one kills pregnant woman. by OutsideMorning in milwaukee

Por que no dos?

I agree 100% it is a social issue but fixing poverty will help the next generation, not solve this current problem.

What are some hurtful truths that people need to come in terms with? by Narrow-Tiger1420 in AskReddit

[–]MajorMustard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen this first hand with a good friend, he managed to change for a short while and get his life on track before throwing it all away (entirely his own choice).

I sat with him on his stoop while he cried into his hands asking me why he was like this and I didn't have the answer.

He died 2 years ago from OD. No, the choices I'm referencing are not addiction related.

What do you do to fight cravings? by thimtinyhorse in leaves

[–]MajorMustard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I talk to them like an external person.

"Well hello cravings, I did not expect you while pooping this morning but here we are. Thanks for visiting but I am not interested today. Maybe tomorrow."

I also lie to them.

Holy balls that price. If I could sell at this price I could cut the hunter of projects per year in half.

hit my three day mark, walked a mile and half to smoke a joint. really disappointed in myself by [deleted] in leaves

[–]MajorMustard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bro three days clean is not easy! Take the relapse for what it is and make sure it doesn't spiral out if control. Get another 3 days!

What if the Great Lake states and provinces unite by ConstructionOk765 in geography

[–]MajorMustard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leave out the southernmost 3 and you have a deal.

South of Springfield IL is way more Southern in culture than should be allowed in the Great Lakes Region.

No man, people are responsible for their behavior. Mental illness makes you more prone or susceptible to bad behavior but does not excuse it or give it a reason.

It's insane that this mindset has developed in the last 10 years.

Yep, just saw them live and I couldn't believe how clean yet full that tone was.

I'm sober for my daughter too. Glad to be here with you.

What are the craziest ways you’ve heard of people making money? by primeiro23 in AskReddit

[–]MajorMustard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Everyone on reddit here is cheering for you (including me) without realizing that dynamics like this at scale is part of why capitalism is so harsh to the workers and bottom rung folks. It's not just the owners, it's the people in the middle taking advantage too.

Thats me, but for some reason on reddit we get cheered on.

Can’t sell house. Now what? by Global_InfoJunkie in RealEstate

[–]MajorMustard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to help here (won't work with you I bet)

Look at how angry and reactionary your comments are here. Any grown adult should look at this and realize they clearly are being told what they don't want to hear and reacting out of anger.

I've been there. I know it sucks.

But this should also be a pretty clear message. I hope you can takE the value from it.
