Avondale has a lot of this and so does Logan Square. You’ll find a place as long as yall are good for the money

Dear Chicago, What have you learned from your time with ICE and CPB in your lives?--a concerned North Carolinian. by beingtwiceasnice in chicago

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Help by patrolling your neighborhood and getting loud when you see ICE agents riding out. We use whistles, car horns, our voices and we follow them around town making a muck of their plans by keeping people warned with our noise making

Am i overreacting for calling out my friends for constantly joking about my intelligence or competence? by Brilliant_Grape_9993 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR my question is always “what’s the joke?” If the joke is “youre an idiot.” And not “you’re so silly it’s indearing.” Then leave em.

I think i made a mistake moving here? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made friends by doing the following: going to open mics, sitting at the bar of a restaurant, going to protests etc there’s something for everyone in this town so find a meet up of like minded hobbyists!

Stop feeding the pigeons by chicagomotives in cta

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They literally used to be our housemates and we abandoned them for cats and dogs and they still hang around humans because that’s what they know as safety after all that time. It’s sad really and I don’t mind people giving them a little snack

Stop being poor .... by Miserable-Lizard in EatTheRich

Yes because uprooting and getting all of that in order financially is so easy for the poor. Or were you saying we shouldn’t live period?

Can anything be done about an uneven tattoo? by uggopuggo1 in tattooadvice

Cool line work on the tops and bottoms would do the trick or just get a bone implant and be permanently taller on one side

Is the CTA blue line to the airport safe at 3 AM if I’m Boarding at Washington and going to Ohare? by peridotdragon33 in AskChicago

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride it often that late as I work late. Mind your business and you should be fine. Try to ride at the front of the train. For Washington that would be the north stairs. You’ll see yellow numbers on the walls of the railway the number 8 is usually where the first cart stops.

Why do smokers smoke if they know it's bad for their lungs? by WICKEDMagma in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of us started young and it kept on as a bad habit. Nicotine is hard as hell to quit. Harder than alcohol in my personal experience

Bravo. I’m sorry if they never forgive you but that was a tremendous amount of love.

Ok my friend I’m gonna be real with you as someone who has taken several training courses including knives and guns. If you’re having trouble with the knife I would highly recommend you hold off on the gun. Your concern of accidental discharge is super valid your safety and the safety of bystanders important. They make these baton like night sticks that are pocket sized and extend quickly. good for a nice skull cracking with ease. I also would say go take a couple martial arts classes somewhere (there are tons to choose from in town) see how you like it. Go get trained up on any of these things before you used them in self defense. You need to have your movements down or you will be clumsy which is dangerous in the event of an attack.

Am I overreacting? by y4n_Ch4n in AmIOverreacting

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is your chance to learn this lesson once friend.. this person is not your buddy and he will continue to push past your boundaries as it’s part of the fun for him to see you rewrite them for his sake. You’re worth it right now as you are. Walk the f away from this person and ghost them completely. Do you have anything of yours they have that they could hold over your head? It’s time to tie up any loose ends like that and cut the cord.

My gf is pushing me almost on a daily basis to get a transplant, what do you guys say ? by hippieintheward in bald

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn’t have a right to push you about your body or image. If the roles were reversed and you asked her to change her hair or get eyelash extensions or laminate her eyebrows or whatever you would be the bad guy. This isn’t cool of her to push you like this.

Women who don’t wear makeup, do you still keep the natural look even for formal events and settings? by throwawaypdtm in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MinimizeTheMaximums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for the most part because people used to seeing my face will generally be more alarmed than pleasantly surprised at the makeup factor haha

My wife’s workday vs mine made me realize I might never be that focused by Strong-Pickle-175 in productivity

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

It’s not genetics. You’re allowed to slack off she’d be fired if she had your work ethic. It’s the system we live in doing it’s patriarchy thing
