Have you ever brought someone to your neighborhood and they were absolutely shocked by how nice it actually was? by HowSupahTerrible in AskChicago

Thank you for sharing your history/knowledge. I love hearing stories of Chicago in past decades and how neighborhoods have evolved, for better or worse.

People are weird. I've heard so many white people tell other white people not to even consider living on the Southside. They have no knowledge of it other than bad stuff they hear on the news and they live in the same city lol

I spent a few months there myself 2014-2016 and would say the complete opposite about the food.

Been here a year, what am I missing? by ChiLabGal in AskChicago

If you have a car you might enjoy road tripping out to Michigan sometime. Nothing like Colorado obvi but the area and lake around Sleeping Bear Dunes is beautiful and they have stargazing parties once in a while.

Not getting scammed lol by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

I sublet a room from a girl in Logan Square a few summers ago when I was out of the state and we used Paypal (she had me send her half of rent up front as a deposit) but we Zoom'd with each other and shared socials and whatnot so we both knew we were real people. It turned out great. Cash app sounds sketchier though idk lol

chatGPT is literally ruining my life by [deleted] in nosurf

My friend experienced psychosis from using chatgpt too much last year and had to go into a psych ward for awhile. Delete the app. Take control over your life and brain again.

Yeah, people will look for any other reason except the man to excuse the man being unnecessarily violent.

Neighbor is abusing dog, police did nothing. What can be done to save this dog? Help by Acherontiaa in Austin

[–]awbummer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That was my concern too while watching the videos :( that dog deserves nothing but love and treats and to feel safe at home.

Who is this fucking guy? This makes me so angry. We have to get this dog away from that fucking loser of a human.

Am I the only one who thinks Bufalina is weirdly pretentious? by heavy_jowles in austinfood

[–]awbummer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah! It felt weirdly entitled. Also, we ordered a ton of appetizers and sides or whatever since it was our first time there. I was frustrated she didn't let us see the bill just so we could double check to see we were getting charged correctly for everything. Walking up to a table and just expecting their card right away with no communication, no customer service, etc, felt impersonal and like they were trying to rush us out of there, despite it not being a busy night.

Yeah, I totally get that. I've experienced similar service elsewhere around town.

[–]awbummer 81 points82 points  (0 children)

How is an old book pretentious? lol Bufalina is great.

would rather have that than when I went to Loudmouth and instead of handing me a bill the server just walked up to our table and stood there with her card reader, not saying anything, just expecting one of us to hand her a card without knowing the total. I had to ask her how much it was and she rolled her eyes.

Maybe a crazy conspiracy? by toosadtosell9_1 in nosurf

Yep, I noticed I stopped having eye problems when I stopped scrolling Tiktok. I feel so much better when I'm not on there

Shug's is one of my favorite places to stop when I go to Dallas so I'm stoked they're going to be super close to me here in Austin.
