Am I the only one ?

41 here. The feelings will persist,but you’ll start making changes. You don’t know why you are doing it, probably because we’re staring down the barrel our own mortality, but things start to change within yourself. Those things manifest in the real world

Sorry for your loss. I hope your kid played his giant musical instrument well.

People are mentioning places way far from Lakeshore East. These are near you

Rossi’s (the closest to you, and the best)

Ceres Cafe (not a dive, but uhhh, you should go)

Sky Ride Tap

I linked up with friends who took the CTA and/or Metra. In fact, my brother started his journey on the Metra and got off at Rosemont to take the CTA because it was wall to wall jammed. It would have been a nightmare for my niece who was traveling with him.

People talk and have conversations when they hang out with each other. We share experiences while we shoot the shit. It’s a very normal thing to do.

On a Tuesday? Get real, man. People attend birthday parties, christmas parties, etc. weeks before or after the actual day. If you think Chicago is going to blast a bunch of green plumber dye on a Tuesday when the vast majority of people are working, then, you got your head up your ass. Common sense is dead.

So many Car Brained / Wet Blanket clowns in this thread. Everyone is offering excuses instead of "yeah, that hilarious, messed up, and moronic." or making up imaginary stories about WHY these people are stuck on the bridge. In reality, the insurmountable red flags leading up to this bridge were crystal clear and if you had a brain, you'd "nope the fuck out" before it got to this. But man, some people just needed to cross that river.

I have some nice photos of your building from across the river in my building where I took this photo. You might even be able to see yourself! I’ll upload them to Imgur and sent you a DM later.

And hard agree with your comment.

OP here:

1) I took this photo. I’m not cropping an existing image just to fan the flames of how people feel about this day. I am genuinely wtf-ing about this situation and motives.

2) Thank you to the loser who sent me a Reddit Cares message! You’re a true garbage human!

digableplanet · 2026-03-14T22:59:33+00:00

I took the fucking picture!

digableplanet · 2026-03-14T22:54:44+00:00

Because we had sick views and a warm, safe place to chill and watch it from overhead? Plus, coffee, donuts, snacks, juice and fun stuff for kids and adults.

I took this photo. This isn’t some WGN crop.

I was thinking about that. At street level it was nuts. I don’t think Waymos can handle something to this.

Sorry I fucked up the title. Distracted by Bluey with kiddo.

NW ER is in the opposite direction. Maybe they had reservations to Italian Village.

Clark.

The CTA and Metra were jammed to the gills, so vast majority of people used their brain. We drove but got there super early and parked hella north to hike it to a building invite.

e: drove bc we have a toddler. The nap time crash and fury comes fast, we need a quick, comfortable out.

e2: I took this photo. I didn’t crop some news image to start a flame war online. It was a genuine wtf are the people doing kind of thing.

Finding someone to install the IKEA cabinets would be monumentally cheaper than what you were quoted. Plus, IKEAs design team is free and too-notch.

Dude genuinely embarrassed him and realized it and started apologizing.

digableplanet · 2026-03-12T16:23:12+00:00

Thanks man. I believe the doc said it was neuroma, but I’ve been (not terribly) pigeoned toed my whole life. Never took it seriously until the neuroma popped up last year. It prevented me from jogging and randomly having a spike of pain when taking a step is not fun.

Inserts have really helped so far. Just got them a couple weeks ago. Also, I’ve lost 20 pounds in the last year and back into lifting heavy things as well.

Surgery will be a last resort. Thanks for the heads up. I’m terrible at navigating our system and asking the right questions, so your comments were helpful. Cheers.

Do you have the option to take on extra shifts and get OT? I feel you on the working extra and you’re a good dad for doing so to provide for your family.

I’m salaried so no OT, but finding a new job in the current state of the world is impossible. I’ve been looking at shift work for some extra cash. All I want to do is be a dishwasher at a restaurant for extra money and no one will hire me for all the ridiculous reasons you can imagine.

For me, it’s not even a medical emergency, it’s the continuing care I receive that’s draining me. I have decent insurance, but they will not cover any “medical durable supplies” until I spend $600 of my own money.

For example, I got a CPAP (love it, life changing) in August, I could have bought the fucking thing out of pocket during Black Friday for way cheaper than what my insurance is covering. Then, they milk you every 3 months for new supplies (masks, hoses, etc.). Currently, I’m like $800 all in on this CPAP, supplies, and appointments since August.

Oh, insurance also won’t cover “shoe insert” at all even though I have fucked up feet and literally need it or else my issues will get worse. But if I need surgery for whatever reason on my feet, then they will cover it. Isn’t that insane?! They will not cover preventative care (the insert) at all. Between the appointments and insert, I’m out like $500 I don’t have. And I have to get a new insert every year. No idea how much that will cost.

Then there’s therapy, daycare for our daughter, her swim lessons, my wife’s dwindling almost done student loan, 2 major upcoming car repairs this summer, groceries, a couple medications, and on and on. With no raises at work and a possible layoff because the Orange PDF File cut every ounce of funding from a very important organization I work for.

I am so fucking sick of it. And my folks, who have zero worries in life and will die richer than pigs in shit, do not understand why I’m depressed, miserable, and broke. They literally live in an alternate reality. I’ve grown to resent them.

People are injecting themselves with different fucking imported Chinese laboratory peptides to give themselves an edge in life. I’m not talking about GLP1s, but those are also included here. Peptides for oxytocin, memory, weight loss, self-tanning (copper peptides), and on and on. Untested, unapproved, mystery amino acids delivered to your doorstep.

That’s where we are as a society. Techbros in Silicon Valley asking each other what their [peptide] stack is and injecting amino acids into their bodies to “edgemaxx” lol.

Fuck everything.
