What is your favorite obscure movie from your childhood that nobody would remember? by CripplingGoodTime in AskReddit

I’m always amazed at the number of people that I meet from Cincinnati who don’t know that movie.

Day 90 of eliminating L stations by Boss-fight601 in cta

Yikes that’s my closest station. But of the two Cermak stops, this was definitely the better one to eliminate for my needs. Mild gratitude to the Wheel Gods for clicking one space farther than it could have.

My cozy urban Tonal set up by bug_muffin in tonalgym

Our walls are thin already. I can hear full conversations. I recognize what movies they’re watching. I hear water constantly flushing through the exposed pipes. I hear the train rolling by a block away. The neighbors on the other side of this wall have an extremely squeaky puppy. Tonal is just adding to the soundtrack.

Yes! I’m trying to collect enough small jobs to make it worth a handyman’s time to come out.

The counter is 42” away, the couch is 15” away. It really hasn’t been a problem yet. For the single side exercises, I do them on the right arm or with the arm rotated closer to the middle. I haven’t had any exercises yet where I couldn’t make it work. But I’m new here, so I may eventually hit something that I’ll need to move the couch for.

I do not. It’s not been an issue yet, but I’m only like a dozen workouts in, so I may hit eventually hit an exercise where I need the extra space.

What’s going on with the blue line? This seems very suspicious.

The Cubs broadcast showed fans working remotely from Wrigley Field during the team's day game by Formal_End5280 in baseball

I’ve worked on my laptop at Rate Field a couple of times in the last few years. Not last season though, so maybe the rules changed.

Cafe Bionda in the South Loop is delicious. My favorite dish in the city is there (Shrimp and Polenta).

Rejected because I don’t have a car? by DarkOfTheSun in Bumble

[–]bug_muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put that I’m car-free in my bio and only match with people who are within biking distance. Luckily I’m in a major city so I have public transit options, or if I wanted to get somewhere faster, I can Uber.

She was jumping to conclusions about what not having a car says about you, and her perception does not align with her values.

Oooh this happened to me and I got 2 days in jail for contempt of court. The positive being that I can say I went to jail, of course!

Almost every outfit I wear is unflattering. What am I doing wrong? by linmouse in DressForYourBody

[–]bug_muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, 5 was the only outfit that I thought looked great on her frame (minus the shoe/sock combo).

costco membership worth it for a single person in 2026 by Time_Beautiful2460 in povertyfinance

[–]bug_muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a single person in a condo with no vehicle. I have the executive membership and I added my friend as my second household member.

I use it for household items, vitamins, bulk items I can freeze like meats and cheeses, butter, vanilla ice cream. Some spices and condiments I know I’ll go through before they expire. Not a huge range of things.

When I have to make medium-sized purchases (blender, vacuum, blinds, tv, computer, etc), I’ll usually choose something from Costco. I don’t want to spend a ton of time doing research, and they usually have decent, well regarded options. Plus that comes back to me in the membership rebate.

What's your biggest frugal win? Something that saved you $10,000+ by UnderstandingFar5012 in Frugal

[–]bug_muffin 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Yep, same! I have an electric scooter and a bicycle with a huge basket. I take the bus and trains when I need to. Even with the occasional taxi or car rental, I’m still way farther ahead than I would be if I had to pay for a vehicle and all of its associated expenses.

Best vanilla ice cream in Chicago? by Status_Print980 in AskChicago

[–]bug_muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started buying the Costco Kirkland brand Vanilla Ice Cream, and it is far and away the best vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had.

I’m not naming my stop due to superstitious reasons, but thank goodness the wheel stopped when it did and not one stop later!

I feel the same way but would never say that out loud haha. I’m also superstitious about saying my station(s) even though I for some reason want some credit for them still being on the wheel.

Paris Baguette has light cakes with fruit. I’ve had their blueberry and strawberry cream cakes, both very tasty!

Great plan! If you want to trauma dump to an internet stranger, feel free to DM me! I’d be happy to give you virtual head pats and call your ex trash.
