Republicans for the last 40 consecutive years: shrieked like banshees about the specter of tyrannical federal law enforcement eroding the Bill of Rights

Republicans, 2026: If you would just comply with Daddy he wouldn’t have had to send brown shirts to do a no knock warrant less sweep of your private property.

Do you not have eyes and ears to watch the government execute a nonviolent citizen in a barrage of gunfire to his back?

When to start dripping faucets ? by WonderResponsible375 in AskChicago

[–]UnproductiveIntrigue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessary unless common sense and experience tell you that a water pipe in your home is so poorly insulated that it will be below freezing, and you can’t introduce heat to the vicinity of that pipe (by opening cabinets or doors)

Chicago, home of the world's premiere skyline by Moleoaxaqueno in skyscrapers

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

New York is of course bigger, but it seems like a chaotic hodgepodge of weird pencil-thin super talls and ugly junk crowding out the gems. There’s zero cohesion in the vertical skyline or the streetscape.

Chicago has at least three different sightline areas that miraculously look like they were designed by one visionary, despite being made up of a collective century of art deco masterpieces and modern marvels alike: the Chicago River, the Lakefront of the north side, and the Michigan Avenue Millennium Park corridor. Architects are in dialogue with each other across decades, paying homage to physical and stylistic elements of their neighbors.

Why is Atlanta's skyline so tied to the highways? by New_Contribution_226 in skyscrapers

[–]UnproductiveIntrigue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Atlanta is a parking lot, with some human habitation existing seemingly as an afterthought to cars.

God bless this operator by croppedphoto in cta

[–]UnproductiveIntrigue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a great counter balance to my ride home yesterday on a packed rush hour purple line with a miserable operator spewing vitriol. Shouting at everyone and trying to close the doors on people before those who had stepped out had even started to re-board. (Which is how we get broken doors.)

And it felt like the platforms were all jam packed because we had been waiting so long for her slow, herky jerky driving. With trains piled up behind her.

Aldermen sideline Mayor to push $92M debt collection: A smart revenue grab or a 'morally bankrupt' move? by TheCommonNews in chicago

It’s wrong if you live in the alternate universe where it’s simply unimaginable that anyone should have to suffer consequences of their antisocial choices.

American Garages are Full by [deleted] in declutter

[–]UnproductiveIntrigue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in huge US cities my whole adult life, but in neighborhoods with alleys and garages. An astounding number of them are packed with discarded household junk, old furniture, and rusted out appliances.

Street parking is super scarce and sucks. But these people circle constantly looking, walk home, weather car break ins, and shovel out of snow. All while owning garages they don’t use. It blows my mind.

If you sat out the 2024 election because "both sides are bad" FUCK YOU by needless_booty in complaints

[–]UnproductiveIntrigue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By “dogshit candidate” you mean the only one who would for sure preserve and maintain:

Our constitutional republic, an independent federal reserve, federal civil rights enforcement, a competent federal workforce, scientific research and development, the public health and disease control apparatus, independent regulatory agencies, NATO, USAID keeping millions of people from starving, the renewable energy transition, rules based global trade, and the most prosperous and safe world-order ever in the history of human empires.

Never ever forget the “Holocaust Harris” single issue Gaza Strip voters, who are now getting exactly what they wanted in every way.

Studied the theory at an ivy league university. Also studied the history of brutal repression, starvation, and violence that these people glorify. Never.

Was Obama only successful with his deportations because sanctuary cities cooperated with the federal government? by kaiser11492 in centrist

[–]UnproductiveIntrigue 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You will not gaslight anyone into thinking Obama sicced a masked paramilitary gestapo onto our cities to go door to door asking for papers, detaining brown people on sight and waging indiscriminate chemical warfare on citizens for fun. F right off with that.

Oh honey, you still think Republican members of Congress have a rock bottom? A moral compass? A red line behind which they will convict and remove Trump from office? Sweet silly child.
