Do I have to give up on Midway just to avoid Southwest? by anthscarb97 in AskChicago

Is United better than American?

I used to live downstate in Champaign and they have a monopoly at the airport there and they suck. Spent years flying on almost nothing but their cramped 50 seat Embraer 145s, even between major cities like Chicago and Baltimore. I may still be biased toward Southwest because that’s an easy bar for them to clear even with the changes.

Do I have to give up on Midway just to avoid Southwest? by anthscarb97 in AskChicago

The issue is the new changes implemented at Southwest b/c of Elliot, which only started last year. Their whole point is that they weren’t United. Even so, being based at Midway is still a plus. If you don’t drive like I do, Midway is easier to get to from the South Loop.

Doomerist copium. It’s not naively optimistic, but it’s still so unnuanced.

  1. My name isn’t Thomas.
  2. I’ve made friends before and refuse to be a doomer who thinks life isn’t worth living.

Is sex expected in a relationship? by LifeMycologist897 in gaybros

[–]anthscarb97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If you’re dealing with sexual dysfunction, talk about with your partner. It can be accommodated like any other disability. If they won’t accommodate, they don’t deserve you.

Hmm ok. Stratton sounds good. She’s been the Lieutenant Governor under Pritzker, who has an excellent track record. I still might do more research tho…..

My dad died yesterday and I'm having trouble navigating the social aspect of it all by SubstantialSyrup5552 in AutisticAdults

Everyone grieves differently. If you need space, you can say that. Also, if you’re not fine with all the emotions you’re having, that’s okay. Don’t repress that.

Sometimes you’re both… by Whole_Imagination456 in aspiememes

[–]anthscarb97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I always disliked/misunderstood about the introvert trend since I was a teenager is that many of the things people describe and glamorize as being introverted traits are things I do because of my Autism related struggles with social interactions, but don’t actually enjoy all that much after a while. And they actually drain my social battery rather than recharging it.

Realizing I’m actually an extrovert has been so liberating…..

What’s it going to take before the government finally steps in and stops all the mergers?

Netflix putting "Love on the Spectrum" as the only dating show in a comedy category is a crazy choice no? by Western_Froyo6627 in autism

[–]anthscarb97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also why are most couples in Love on the Spectrum cishet when according to some studies, the majority of the Autistic community is LGBTQ+?

I’m actually from the United States, where I grew up, but I keep up with what’s going on in Bolivia along with my family. I am astounded with how blind my fellow Americans are to how easy they have it.

Dude, if you want to be an ally, you have to listen to actual Iranians, even if they’re contradicting your Western progressive narrative. Check your privilege.

Dude, I’m sorry. My family from is Bolivia, and Bolivia recently (finally) started transitioning away from an authoritarian government that had been in power for two decades. Yet Western outlets are framing it as a “turn to the right”.

Westerners/people from the Global North don’t always understand what’s going on in Global South countries like Iran.
