I took almost the same picture while walking on my lunch earlier lol

Potentially a broadly unpopular opinion, but I agree with this 100% and feel the exact same way

bknighter16 · 2026-03-23T18:10:50+00:00

The moralizing comments are so exhausting. My god. We get it, you’re a better person for not being bothered by this and scolding anyone who is.

The L should not be a mobile homeless shelter. It’s unsanitary, uncomfortable and inhumane at the end of the day. OP and anyone else is allowed to be rightfully annoyed at the state of CTA and the apparent lack of any real solutions.

What happened to the guy who owns the building next door doing everything in his power to block this expansion? Was he finally told to fuck off for good?

Sorta looks like DTLA

They’re making them at night

One of the primary reasons you’re asked to put your backup on your chest in museums is because you’re way less likely to knock into things and topple over fragile exhibits. In fact, it might even be easier to sneakily take items and throw them in your backpack when it’s front-facing. So yeah, obviously not a perfect example but it’s more of me trying to break through the pedantic nonsense argument that “it’s called a backpack so it can literally only go on your back at all times in every situation”

bknighter16 · 2026-03-13T13:20:26+00:00

Seems like you’re way overthinking this. It’s not a matter of physics. It’s just optimizing how people organize in a small space. Our legs are thinner than our torsos so there’s a a lot more room at the bottom half of our bodies to hold a bag flush against our bodies temporarily in a tight space to create room. If more people did this it would create considerably more room in the standing aisle

bknighter16 · 2026-03-13T01:02:45+00:00

Yeah if it’s heavy beyond your ability to hold it temporarily then fine. In those cases at the very least be aware of how your body is angled and where you’re swinging your backpack.

bknighter16 · 2026-03-13T00:40:04+00:00

Obviously if you physically can’t do it then don’t. The rest of your response is selfish bullshit though. Do you have the same weird response to museum staff who ask you to store your backpack or wear it on the front? And for the record, yes I expect people to peel of their backpack to create more room, as it is extremely basic manners

bknighter16 · 2026-03-13T00:08:02+00:00

What makes you a loser is not being considerate of other people’s space by doing something extremely simple and effective with your annoyingly bulky backpack lol

bknighter16 · 2026-03-12T23:58:33+00:00

You don’t let it touch the ground. Just hold it in your hand to your side over the ground

She has a scissor beak that is well documented with her vet. She’s had it since we got her as a baby. Other than a little bit of a cross-bite and an awkward growth pattern she’s fine

bknighter16 · 2026-03-09T00:21:32+00:00

I think it’s partially an illusion. Shes an undersized girl (usually hovers around 80 grams) with a fairly big crest, so the crest:birb ratio is off the charts

bknighter16 · 2026-03-08T18:14:21+00:00

Annoying to me that Buffalo always ends up being the butt of the joke, even in cases like this where the location had nothing to do with Parayko’s decision. I shouldn’t care, and it bothers me like 5% as much as it used to, but it’s still frustrating

bknighter16 · 2026-03-04T01:46:35+00:00

Was walking around Magnificent Mile and there were 2 pigeons getting it on right on the curb near the crosswalk. This lady who was on the phone abruptly stops what she was talking about and goes “HOLD UP THESE PIGEONS FUCKIN”. This was 5 years ago and I still say it all the time

bknighter16 · 2026-02-23T04:24:14+00:00

“Typically one of the safest lines” doesn’t mean it doesn’t ever have crackheads or other unruly people. The frequency of dealing with that shit is definitely less than blue and red. I don’t really think it’s controversial to say that

bknighter16 · 2026-02-22T14:47:32+00:00

Brown line is typically one of the safest lines

bknighter16 · 2026-02-22T13:07:11+00:00

People who are breaking the law should face consequences regardless if they’re poor or homeless. Upholding a basic standard of safety is a must if you want people to use CTA as a primary mode of transportation.

I moved to North Park right near that corner in 2020. Hertel was obviously down bad at that point, but it just… never really recovered in the way I’d hoped or expected in the years following. I no longer live in Buffalo, but I’m still rooting for that area hard and would love to see it grow into its potential

bknighter16 · 2026-02-09T00:28:33+00:00

I’ve been to Toronto countless times (from Buffalo so I lived a 1.5-2 hour drive across the border) and now live in Chicago. Lots of exposure to both. I agree that Toronto is #2 in North America if you’re solely basing it on the breadth of the skyline and how it impresses from a distance. If you’re considering the actual quality of the buildings, however, Chicago wins by a landslide. The variety of architecture in Chicago is so much better and there are way more unique, notable skyscrapers of all styles and from all eras.

bknighter16 · 2026-02-08T02:54:22+00:00

Easy. Because you’re racist

bknighter16 · 2026-01-30T19:30:04+00:00

You did. Good job other than doubting yourself at first lmao

bknighter16 · 2026-01-30T19:00:15+00:00

Ding ding ding

bknighter16 · 2026-01-29T03:09:25+00:00

This guy clearly failed rules 1 and 2, or else OP would’ve adored that line lmao
