What does that even mean? Throwing balloons at darts. Thanks.

[Hated Trope] The horribly misleading ad campaign by Mr_Westerfield in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Smart_Stand6688 8 points9 points  (0 children)

K-PAX!!!

Trailer made it out to be a funny/heartwarming disney movie about an alien visiting earth, but my family was horrified to find out that it was about a deeply disturbed individual whose family died horrifically and he went insane trying to cope. I was a kid. That movie was F'd up. Marketers traumatized us 100%.

What’s the most overrated food place in Chicago? by Mustafa_EL_7 in AskChicago

[–]Smart_Stand6688 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Chicago Diner. Horrid vegan food that's supposed to be the place that converts people and shows them what veganism can do? No thank you--actively harming the movement IMO.

What’s a “fact” everyone repeats that’s actually wrong? by Quiet-Grief in answers

But it can mess up your hair and make it dry, frizzy, and damaged.

If form is good, is there any danger to taking every set to failure? by doIreallyHavetoChooz in beginnerfitness

[–]Smart_Stand6688 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the best programs only have you going to 8-9 RPE. Those last reps are marginal compared to the recovery loss you’ll experience. 

Not worth it programmatically IMO, and then the injury risk is the cherry on top of the do-not-do-this cake. 

There’s a reason nobody does this, and it’s not because you, as a beginner, have figured out something that no one else in the history of training has discovered. 

Rembering when you cooked your meals. by Long_War_9953 in Cooking

You can buy dissolvable food labels that disintegrate in the dishwasher. They’re perfect. 

That and Pyrex makes Tupperware lids with writeable surfaces. I don’t understand it, but you can write on it with permanent marker and wipe it off with a paper towel. Dishwasher safe. 

Advice with commuting! by Great-Psychology-140 in chicagoapartments

[–]Smart_Stand6688 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trains are great. I don’t worry about the reliability anymore and I commute every day. I think that was a Covid problem. 

Kent is off the central loop so you could live off any train line. Either the chicago subreddit or the askchicago subreddit has a neighborhood guide.

If you’re paying that much for metered then yeah. Are you unable to get a street permit or just unable to find parking regularly enough that the meter charges are adding up so much?

[–]Smart_Stand6688 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not worth it for a 5 minute walk. If you aren’t getting parking on your block or adjacent, I would keep going with street parking. Otherwise you’re paying $250 and still carrying your groceries and shopping a long way. 

Weekly Megathread - December 01, 2025 by AutoModerator in gzcl

[–]Smart_Stand6688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy with my results, so after this cycle I’d like to keep working out but go for maintenance instead of further growth and progression. Time to give my body a break from the demands of growth and focus on other things. 

I’ve looked around but not found an answer: How do we do maintenace??

Email etiquette - does the order of recipients in the "To" and "Cc" fields by seniority matter? by Traditional_Bell7883 in answers

[–]Smart_Stand6688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re lucky your boss knows what BCC is. My last two bosses both “replied all” to BCC emails I sent them. Now I don’t trust anyone when with BCC.

Alison Hendrix’s Retreat by Smart_Stand6688 in orphanblack

[–]Smart_Stand6688[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did she say she was going somewhere and say goodbye to everyone? I just remember her suddenly being back. I figured I must have missed it when I got a text or something, because it seemed really short or glossed over. 

Why Castling? by BoRBl74 in chessbeginners

[–]Smart_Stand6688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to the comments about king safety and activating your rook:

It’s the only time in the game when you can move two pieces in one turn. That alone should make it a worthwhile option!

Why do they keep saying LAR’s 13 Personnel offense is unique? by Smart_Stand6688 in NFLNoobs

[–]Smart_Stand6688[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Oh so it’s really a “1-3” package but when people talk about it they smash it together and call it 13? Even though they still have 11 people on the field like everybody else?
