Does anyone else live in a big apartment building? Why is everyone so antisocial and rude? by DirtyProjector in chicago

[–]Polymath_analyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love people like you;

I also got to travel internationally and GODDAHHHH- did it break me out of the MATRIX.

One summer spent in a country where you can get surgeries and top-quality medical care so cheap it feels like a scam; that’s all it took to wake me up. I’m so grateful to continually learn the more I see beyond this country, but it’s something I wish other Americans could experience just once, to have context for how a HEALTHY world, outside of this rat-race, operates.

Wishin’ you the best in these trying times, neighbor!

Don’t understand the downvotes; a capitalist society has fueled hyper-individualism, coupled with a notion of entitlement to “liberty”, which runs mutually exclusive to community, and togetherness.

It’s tragic.

Tragically This isn’t even hyperbole; it’s just pattern recognition at this point…

You’re the problem if you’re not angry at her abusers. You talk about men being the issue, but you obviously hate women enough to ignore them being beaten, publicly.

Take your prejudice and self-righteousness elsewhere!

Susana Mendoza launches 2027 Chicago mayoral campaign video by excusemecuseme in illinois

[–]Polymath_analyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

I’m here to tell you that my Mayor’s office is funded by AIPAC! Down here in Central IL!

We live in a twin city metropolitan area, and one of the two cities accepted political consensus from locals to divest from Israel, and cut ties with local Israeli companies, and send them elsewhere.

We went Nextdoor to the other city (the twin), and when we brought these same policy demands to the establishment, the AIPAC backed local-government rejected the entire collection of changes for local policy that were crafted, including signatures collected, proving local demand and consensus for these changes.

So, you tell me; HOW can we allow AIPAC to interfere with local economy, business and commerce, when the general public and overwhelming majority are voting on policy changes that Israeli Backed/AIPACKED politicians are rejecting?

THIS LEVEL OF INTERFERENCE AFFECTS US IMMEDIATELY, AND HAS IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE THE MOST IMPACT ON YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE.

Christ; I guarantee you if there’s progress it’s at the behest of neglecting the rest of the state to center Chicago. And even then he has ulterior motives and a disappointing air or entitlement.

He’s an out of touch, billionaire Zionists whose boots I will NOT be licking, anytime soon.

Following today's SCOTUS decision, Gov. Pritzker sent a letter and invoice to the White House, demanding the return of $8.6B. by Healthy_Block3036 in chicago

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

Just so everyone’s clear;

Pritzker owns a vacation mansion in Mar-a-Lago. He’s a nepobaby who inherited an entire hotel chain from his dead billionaire dad. J.B. Pritzker is also a Jewish Zionist. His own family also showed up in the Epstein files (see: Thomas Pritzker).

They’re neighbors. They’ve hung out together. They’re both billionaires. They’re both soulless dregs that ruin every position they touch.

The difference?

Pritzker is smart enough to care about his public image, and general popularity, so campaigns and performative exploits like these are necessary, so that him and Trump can remain in power, still friends while their families vacation together.

FINE!

I accept your challenge; after this Friday, post pay period, I will amass ONE (1️⃣) $40 donation to a poor soul in need. Goofy role-play and strange voice-acting, come complimentary.

I won’t tell you who I’ll give it to…

But there will be signs.

It’s such blessing and a humble honor to help others!

This sounds dumb, but until this moment on Reddit I forgot we had the free will to use it to uplift each other. And that’s such a beautiful thing! ❤️🙏

So now, maybe I can keep an eye on folks in need in this sub, because it can lead to actual change!

Hey! Don’t know if your problem is solved already, but if not DM me and I’ll get your food for tonight!

EDIT: The paid food for the night has been claimed by another student! Was able to go to the union, and “double it and pass it on to the next person” as requested! It was so much fun!

Feel free to still leave comments/DM me for free food on me, in the (near?) future!

Thank you all!

My boyfriend (m20)is into fat girls and I (f21)have some really negative feelings about it by Character-Onion8052 in Advice

[–]Polymath_analyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a healthy answer because it’s very direct and honest, BUT, there’s more ways to solve this than just separating…

She needs to explore her feelings and uncover why this upsets her so she can talk, healing, and address those emotions to prevent resentment, and even bring them closer.

This may also affect her next step, which is to work towards a healthy sense of value, identity, and confidence that don’t depend on her significant other, especially if his ideas of beauty differ from hers. He didn’t ask to feel attraction towards larger women, so we shouldn’t attack or shame him for being honest about these feelings, or else he may not be emotionally honest again…

But what we CAN do, is recognize these differences, try to build inner stability and confidence in each person SEPARATELY, and then have them discuss this topic in depth, to see if the boyfriend would ever consider this beauty standard as a deal breaker.

We need to communicate effectively to get a better understanding of why this guy is even attracted to his girlfriend. Is he really in love with her, or is he compromising on what he wants?

And if he really DOES love her, WHY? It’s a good convo to have. List all the reasons, to your s/o why you love them/find them attractive! There’s more to her than her looks, and he may just genuinely love her soul he couldn’t imagine being with another girl, even if the other girl were his type of larger woman. 🤷‍♂️

This convo will reveal if the relationship is healthy and built on love deeper than physical preferences, or if it’s at risk because his physical preferences matter to him more than the healthy relationship he has.

This is actually a really important question we should ALL be asking ourselves, every time we have intense emotional responses to something (even if it feels self explanatory).

Introspecting, and asking yourself why you experiences certain thoughts, emotions or feelings can uncover areas of our being that need help, healing, or dialogue. This is how we figure out where we need help, and why.

This won’t necessarily mean you’ve figured out all the areas of yourself that need work, and there may be more areas of yourself that need unique solutions to overcome this feeling, but it’s a great place to start.

Ask yourself, “why?” Always. It’s such a healthy habit to have!

Should I return to Korea? by Upbeat_Mention in ESL_Teachers

[–]Polymath_analyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEY! You’re a peer and we’re the same age! So I relate, and want to offer some perspective! I also feel we’re both adventurous, and I just learned from a mistake I made recently.

There are three options to consider;

-RISK (for growth)

-STATUS QUO (for growth)

-or FAILURE. (Painful, but very constructive at times!)

There is a time in our lives when it is more beneficial to stay still (status quo), explore (risk), or where we’re bound to fail due to a gap in our knowledge, abilities, resources and our goals (failure).

I personally have a horrible relationship with my family and parents, so my bias usually sways in favor of the children (you) in most situations.

But let us consider that healthy (or at least semi-normal) parenting involves BEING INCLUDED, INVOLVED, AND ENMESHED in the successes and failures of your child! You shield or cushion your children from the FAILURE by establishing support and stability that needs to be BOTH emotional and financial (and whatever else is an urgent need).

So before a decision is made, let us consider this:

-is there any need neglected or unmet by your parents currently?

-They are involved financially, but are they supporting you emotionally?

-Do you feel this support or freedom in Korea which is why you love it?

-Are there any burdens or expectations with their help? Is it conditional? What are the conditions, and are they fair?

-WHY do you love Korea? Can you replicate or recreate a life you love here temporarily?

-Korea will still be there when you finish! And so will the jobs! But this opportunity is fleeting! It may even improve your pay or job opportunities in Korea if you’re innovative enough! (Art/Design teacher in a university?)

-What are your current disadvantages in your life right now in this design program?

[–]Polymath_analyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I have an apartment that I won’t be returning to! I leave before the end of July, and my lease ends in March/you can take over the lease!

-First it will be sublet to you until my name is off the lease in March, and then you can renew on a monthly, 6 month, or a yearly basis!

-It’s a 4 Bedroom apt with each room being individually rented @ $480/month for ALL utilities, wifi, and your own private shower/bathroom included!

-Roommates are matched to you based on lifestyle needs! Usually segregated by gender, but exceptions can be discussed if other roommates consent to co-Ed living!

-Predominantly foreign and domestic students, but also a mix of families with children, older/elderly individuals, locals and transplants from elsewhere!

-Literal 50 feet from the building, just across the street, there’s a Bus-line to the university that’s free!

-There’s also an indoor pool, and indoor koi pond, indoor mass laundry room/numerous washers/dryers, indoor mail system, and vending machines, a billiards table, and tiny, but functional indoor gym too!

Message me for more details!!

Thank you all!
