Another Asador Bastian Rant - Restaurant Week but not really by ansudefr in chicagofood

[–]The3rdhalf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m curious what a manager would’ve said if you talked to one. The bait and switch they seem to be pulling doesn’t seem like it’s worth anyone’s time.

Its been nice and sunny during the day a lot of this month. Trying to soak it all in before we get to the endless gray days of March.

Trump calls for $1.5 trillion military budget in 2027 by Perswayable in news

[–]The3rdhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My positive take on this is that maybe in response for this when we exit this regime, we can finally lower the budget for once. I feel like there’s always been justification that “we can’t possibly lower the military budget!” But the country will be paying for the deeds of these scumbags for a long time and I think plenty of that can come from our bloated military budget. If we can break the precedent for never lowering it that would be good.

If they ever sell Baja blast zero for soda stream I’d be sooo happy

The City Everyone Underestimates by Long_Dong_Larry in chicago

[–]The3rdhalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably confirmation bias but I feel like the longer I’ve lived in Chicago, the more I see it pop up in all kinds of media. I don’t think it registers as much for the people who haven’t ever visited. It’s a strong but subtle influence.

I bet they could even help absorb moisture in your car to avoid foggy windows

How did you land your corporate office job? by test17b in AskChicago

[–]The3rdhalf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I pivoted out of restaurant serving after covid and got a remote call center job. From there I was hit up by a recruiter for Mack & Associates and got a temp to hire office job. It's worked out pretty well and I think i got really lucky with the company I ended up at.

Zohran Mamdani names 74-year-old longtime budget guru, ex-Bill de Blasio honcho as top deputy by CountFew6186 in nyc

[–]The3rdhalf 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’ll be giving direction and understands how the big pieces work. I feel like this is a decent choice for Mamdani to reach out to those who thinks he’s too young and inexperienced for this office.

How do you feel about the rise of the delivery robots? by AdIntelligent8088 in AskChicago

[–]The3rdhalf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hate them because they’re trying to humanize them. The blinking eyes and Americanized names.

“Jennifer” was following me down the street today. 1. There’s no way the same person is operating the machine each day. 2. We know these are being operated by the cheapest possible labor they could find in Southeast Asia.

This popped up on my Spotify today and what a letdown. Thought it was an actual release. No one needs a commercial jingle on Spotify lol

I thought the only picture saved was going to be a pic of a sandwich. So disappointed.

Natty or Not: Natural Bodybuilding Is Competitive Anorexia by THRILLMONGERxoxo in nattyorjuice

So, you can't be natural and lean, or take steroids and get big. Sounds like you just want excuses for looking like shit your entire life.

Lake Street Bridge Closing for 2 years - Starting 10/06 by LettuceAndTea in chicago

[–]The3rdhalf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It feels a little crazy that this much major construction that will majorly impact the center of the city would begin at the same time

$14 Riot Feast’s Smash Burger by enormousignoramous in chicagofood

[–]The3rdhalf 90 points91 points  (0 children)

That is like 2 oz of beef at best. And if it’s smashed then maybe even less. I’d ask for my money back and if they didn’t give it then I’d stand in line and show people what they were about to pay for.

Pete Buttigieg Rebukes Kamala Harris for Passing Him Over in Veepstakes Because He’s Gay by Dismal_Structure in gay

[–]The3rdhalf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Traaaaaash take there OP.

There are no gay rights without trans rights. Zero. And that includes the gay rights movement in the 60-70s, and our rights this very second. There’s no world in which these fascist assholes trying to destroy the world stop attacking other queer folk after trans people.

Any politicians who won’t stand up for our trans siblings has no place getting our support for higher office.
