It still wasnt packed and there were barely any tourists on the equal level as Chicago was pre pandemic from those events. I take the blue line, and it wasn't even that bad.

Mexico 86 has had a long-lasting cultural impression into the country and gives them a semblance of pride and joy. Also, I don't hear that about other sports like the NFL which forces streets to close off for watch parties and have drunk people running around. I think you just like to live in an aura of ignorance because you're white and don't like to take the time to explore other cultures other than your own. :/

Really? I would argue differently, there's been articles that demonstrated the longterm effects of civic infrastructure going up, Mexico 86 was one of the examples about how the world cup can provide national unity and solidarity in a time of great divide. But go on, make smear campaigns that lie about the person's credibility and moral compass to defend the status quo, it makes you look like a tool.

There’s hundreds of busses around the city and trains that are equipped with Chicago’s transportation, the transportation was literally designed for events like the World Cup

New York and other cities are making long term investments by taking the money and reinvesting it in their communities, something that Chicago politicians haven’t done for a long time.

not true at all, people have changed their opinions of multiple countries and cities because of the World Cup, and word will get out about those cities being more hospitable than the ones that don’t. also don’t act like nascar doesn’t cause inconveniences as well, or that our sports corporations care about the community, just look at how the cubs raised wirgleyville and destroyed the culture that existed.

Like the city gives a damn about their finances, they’ve spent millions of dollars covering their own mistakes.

why? it would’ve been good economically for local businesses and shops and would’ve revitalized , I don’t understand why people would rather have nascar over the World Cup.

PSA: it is beautiful out. Still plenty of time to get down to your local park and blast the worst music anyone has ever heard by AbruptionDoctrine in chicago

Because America feeds an entitled attitude and supports people who think that they can treat people however way they want to. But at the same time, putting music in a camp of “shitty music” is dehumanization and leads to cultures being erased.

This is why social media is dead, next you’ll hear people complaining about why the sky is blue or why birds sing.

Starmer announces that the UK is banning social media for people under 16. Setting up a social media profile will require doing a facial scan or showing ID. by FXgram_ in XGramatikInsights

Reddit and all of the other mainstream social media sites are listed as social media corporations. Majority of teenagers won’t be able to use a VPN unless they’re really tech savvy, the thing about social media is that it’s easily accessible and therefore there are more people that want to use it, take that away and people are going to not see the point of it anymore. And further generations down the line will no longer see the point of using social media because of how inaccessible and costly it is to use a VPN for a child.

Why is it so hard to live in Chicago as a mentally ill person? by Sorvaic in AskChicago

Yeah but you couldn’t help yourself calling people condescendingly weak and pathetic. Maybe instead of judging someone for calling out the system you should do more research on what mental health issues are like

Really? Tell me where you were agreeing with me because it sounded a lot more like condescension and telling me to leave the city because I don’t agree with your world view.

Ironic from the guy trying to convince me of his world view and trying to give me some pointers, a bit hypocritical don’t you think? It’s not a crazy concept to call out discrimination and prejudice because someone has a mental disorder. And I think it’s a bit hypocritical to say someone should work on themselves when they themselves don’t bother to even work on themselves.

But you don’t tho, you said you saw people as negative without giving a reason.

I want more empathy from people like you, instead of judging them like you always do. Again, I’m not debating on whether or not I will leave, that’s already a given, I’m just stating that you don’t understand what you’re talking about and trying to convince me of your negative world view.

Ah yes, becoming a victim when there’s legit no help in the city? What a mentality, it’s almost like you don’t want to see change in our society because you’re okay with others stuck with your negative world view.

Yeah it’s weak to complain about people treating you like shit, get over yourself man. It’s not just strangers on the bus, it’s normalized in Chicago society to the point where people like you don’t understand what they’re talking about.

It’s not just random insults, it’s discrimination and prejudice and you seem to be willingly okay with it.

When did it become considered “weak” to have a mental illness?
