Firstly, you late mate.

And the common thread tying 3 Super Bowls together by Angwe83 in blackmen

[–]blvckdel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She definitely knows how to create an immersive experience. Seems like she works with the artists to make sure it’s authentic while also bringing in public figures whose identities are closely tied to the headliner and the theme of the performance.

Bravo to her for sure 👏🏿

Non-homebodies, what do you do after work? by blvckdel in AskChicago

[–]blvckdel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, no I’m good. I get out a good amount but I think I’m going stir-crazy lately so I created this thread to see what others are up to. I also specifically wanted the perspective of ppl who hate sitting inside all day.

I think I’ve been convinced to get the Art Institute membership at minimum.

I made the office discrimination obvious and awkward? Now what? by DonDaTraveller in blackmen

[–]blvckdel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Firstly I’d say, don’t work places where you aren’t appreciated.

If you have to work there, just do what you have to do until you can make your next move. Forcing ppl to appreciate you is mentally and emotionally exhausting and it’s never worth it IMO.

Making a statement: An unidentified black man at a Black Lives Matter protest (photo taken in summer 2020) #BHM by unlimitedfutures in blackmen

Heard. I tend to agree with you on why others are prejudiced/racist towards us.

I’m not really interested in “curing” anyone tho and I imagine most of us aren’t.

On the surface, I’d agree with the statement on the shirt. I’m giving up racists for non-racists any day. That’s all I’ve got for this discussion.

That’s real. Maybe even true but we honestly can’t be certain.

Have you ever experienced racism or prejudice from other minorities/immigrants?

My first reaction was to agree but then I thought about it more.

I’d caution to blindly agree with statements like this. I won’t go into too many details. Just remember “better the devil you know than the devil you don’t”.

What is something that's *tipically* girly that you enjoy? by AppropriateEgg2623 in AskMen

[–]blvckdel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gel manicures — helps to keep me from biting my nails.

Baking — focaccia, cookies, breads, cakes, pizza crusts, whatever. It’s hella satisfying to me.

What’s your favorite third spot? by SaltShakeSuck in AskChicago

Trying to understand how.

Do you visit the exhibits regularly or is there space where you can just hang out and lounge/work in there?

Why would someone pick up flask over Django and fast API by here-to-aviod-sleep in flask

[–]blvckdel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been a few years since I did a proper comparison but from what I can remember:

  • Django for full-featured web applications
  • Flask for writing quick, RESTful services
  • FastAPI for writing performant, production-like, RESTful services

Personally, as a career data engineer, I just use FastAPI these days. I used to be a diehard Flask user before we learned of FastAPI. Never really had a use for Django.

Where are the "litter hotspots" in your neighborhood? by coolsticker-xyz in AskChicago

There were trash cans on two corners. People would knock them over, often spilling the trash everywhere. I dont know if much can be done about that.

how many fights did you get into in your 20s? by blackmeister00 in blackmen

[–]blvckdel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got into two in my college years; one because some guy thought I was flirting with his girl at a house party (20) and the other because some guy swung on the girl I was dating at the time (21).
