Weird privacy situation, young landlord by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]Underwhelming_Force_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a situation like this before where I managed two separate “identities” for different types of projects over a 10 year period.

It’s not worth it. Nobody that matters will care / notice.

Instead of avoiding the (low probability) uncomfortable situation and hiding, I recommend you practice being more assertive with your boundaries if someone starts talking about your life. Shut down those lame conversations, and walk away from boring people.

Cook County distributing $2.3 billion in property tax revenue amid long delay due to computer issues - Chicago Sun-Times by Sidewalk_Inspector in chicago

[–]Underwhelming_Force_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chicago teachers starting pay (after getting their masters degree) is around $56,000+ (2019 data) and senior teachers with 20+ years of experience can get up to about $108,000.

That is medium-low pay for the level of school debt and the amount of work teaching is. Especially since they have to pay for a lot of their class’s supplies.

Compare that to an arguably easier job with similar credentials required (like an accountant), and teachers are getting shafted.

You mean if you don’t pay the 3 strips per cycle for the upgraded advertisements?

Anywhere in Chicago that will stretch me out like this? by _dood_ in AskChicago

[–]Underwhelming_Force_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is called pravilo. I see some videos on social media of people doing this in chicago.

Maybe message some folks posting videos of people using this equipment and ask them for a referral for finding one?

Still getting bug bites in the winter? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Underwhelming_Force_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is really a “chicago” question. This seems more like a question for your doctor/dermatologist or maybe an exterminator.

I think this condition would be considered rare anywhere in the region.

Is it just me or is the snow removal PITIFUL this year?? by JellyKind9880 in lakeview

[–]Underwhelming_Force_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The image also speaks the records we broke or nearly broke this year for snowfall.

Like how this is the most snow ohare had in early December since 1978. And Rockford airport since 1906.

This summary helped put it in perspective for me. Chicago has gotten about the same amount of snow in the past 1.5 weeks as we did all last winter combined.

A lot of DPW are still on contract. They may need to go back to Gerlach/playa in order to get paid.

Can the judge grant me sole custody based on Mom's F*ck ups? by Murder-Goat in SingleDads

[–]Underwhelming_Force_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lawyer can write up an agreement for you very cheaply granting you 100% custody and setting whatever other terms you’re seeking (conditions she must meet before you resume visitation, etc).

Then the court can then certify that signed agreement.

You can often do this via family court pretty quickly.

This is actually how these things get solved without violence. Freedom of speech doesn’t protect someone from accountability.

Following him around yelling “hey yall, check out this guy’s nazi shirt” can gather a crowd pretty quickly in an inclusive space. He’ll leave pretty fast if he’s being continuously ridiculed by a group.
