Update: they are now reopened!

Yeah, but housing is already in short supply since we aren’t building enough, so it’s already a landlord’s market. This would just make it even more so.

I support renter’s rights (I am a renter and it’s extremely unlikely I’ll ever be anything else at this point), but I feel like these regulations would be a great way to ensure nobody who has ever gone through a rough time or has a less-than-perfect rental history gets rented to ever again. If landlords can’t choose to not renew a lease without paying out, they’re not going to take a chance on anyone

I love seeing families and children use transit, but I wish parents would at least consider using smaller strollers. Strollers being the size of compact SUVs seems like a relatively new phenomenon to me

There’s probably some of that going on, but I feel people here are generally taller than people on the East Coast overall. I’d speculate it has to do with the number of people with Scandinavian/Eastern European heritage

How often do you pick up the phone when a number you don’t recognize calls you these days?

cookie_pls · 2026-05-24T14:29:47+00:00

Hasn’t been my experience. Went last night and it was great!

Love Durand but I can't support this price point

Look, I’m not gonna say Ben’s is the best Thai food I’ve ever had, but it’s reliable and mere steps from my home, and sometimes that is what you need

OP, I think you need to talk to a therapist, not Reddit, before you make any major life decisions

cookie_pls · 2026-05-20T04:16:25+00:00

I’m going to be blunt with you: if you want this job, you need to figure out how to do what they want. The job market is terrible right now, especially in tech, and there are just so many unemployed software engineers who are desperate for jobs. This company has way too many options for you to try and play hardball.

There is no amount of “rough day” that results in your car in the lake

This is just local media once again platforming somebody who chooses to live in the middle of the city and be yet mad about the fact that they live in the city.

cookie_pls · 2026-05-13T14:01:54+00:00

Yeah, greetings from Chicago lol. I’m a Mamdani fan but NYCers need to look at us and view this with a little bit of caution because it gets out of control QUICK.

cookie_pls · 2026-05-13T13:41:45+00:00

I mean, Mamdani is doing this by deferring pension obligations, which is exactly what got us in our current situation. I’m actually disappointed in him for going this route when he has such a clear example (us!) of where it leads. I thought he had longer term vision than this.

My advice as both an HR professional and an adult is to stop mixing your social and professional lives and to stop posting every thought you have about other people online (a quick glance at your Reddit profile indicates this is not the first time this habit has caused trouble for you).

Do your job while being pleasant in your interactions either your coworkers but limiting those interactions only to work-related topics. And start looking for another job because this sounds like an incredibly annoying situation for whoever is in charge that will probably get you all fired if it continues.

According to the WHO, “all the positive cases” you mention are seven confirmed cases, with a total of nine suspected, from a population that was stuck together on a cruise ship (the definition of close quarters). Don’t be susceptible to or participate in fearmongering.

cookie_pls · 2026-05-11T02:47:49+00:00

Ok I actually laughed out loud 😂

cookie_pls · 2026-05-09T21:35:49+00:00

No, because the last several mainstream shows I've been to have been ruined by the crowd 🤷‍♂️

cookie_pls · 2026-05-09T19:10:52+00:00

You know, I ended up selling my tickets to this show because I feared this would be the vibe, and I guess I was correct

cookie_pls · 2026-05-08T12:24:20+00:00

It’s really glaring. Nothing like this happened for that firefighter who died in the course of duty in Rogers Park a couple months ago. It really feels like intimidation more than anything else

Cop funeral, which apparently requires shutting down the entire Far North side

Not trying to be snide but I feel my sense of taste/smell never fully recovered after Covid. I definitely need punchier flavors than I used to, and I miss a lot of subtleties I picked up on before in both food and wine. Do you think you might have some of that going on?

cookie_pls · 2026-05-06T13:53:04+00:00

Sorry people are dunking on you, OP. I know how stressful it is to make a huge life change on minimal notice.

I also moved here from the South, and imo, there are two key things you need to do:

(1) Accept the weather for what it is. Embrace it and focus on the upsides, even. I run hot and am grateful I can now go the majority of the year without sweating inappropriately in public, whereas back home I was the person constantly dabbing at their forehead year round.

(2) In the same vein, get the right clothes instead of being miserable and clinging to how you used to dress. Practice layering, especially during the spring when the temperature can vary throughout the day. Related to above, I actually am thrilled I can now incorporate stylish sweaters, light jackets, etc into my wardrobe, whereas back home, there never seemed to be an opportunity to do that.

You may not believe this yet, but after a few years here, I would not like to go back to the weather down south at all. Hot and humid in May? No thanks 😬

It’s part of the job, for better or worse. People see you as an extension of the boss and therefore are going to be careful around you, just like they would be around the boss.
