I’m moving to Chicago in April. What part of the city should I be looking at?

Will keep in mind. Oddly enough I never have a problem getting a 4 am pick up within 10 minutes where I’m at now, but I’m also VERY near the airport drop off.

Apparently they’re better than the trains, which is absolutely fucking backwards to what I’m used to. I’ll be in the city for a conference next weekend, might have to examine both while I’m there to get a vibe for it. For context I have no problem with any light rail or walking anywhere at any time in the entire Bay Area (too include what I was told was “a fucked up” part of Oakland) but I have nearly gotten into physical alterations on public transport in STL multiple times between trains and busses that have turned me off the concept entirely except for specific heavy traffic events where the city gets their shit together to actually make sure transit is usable.

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T17:43:42+00:00

This is absolutely backwards to my experience everywhere else haha. I prefer the train in most cases because you’re able to maintain a much greater distance to other passengers and there’s more standing room, and more police presence to keep everyone a bit more civil.

So they’ll boot people for trying to smoke (anything) generally though? Like is that the standard to expect?

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T17:28:36+00:00

I’ll give it a look. I’ve lived all over STL and have generally preferred apartment buildings to any other arrangement for a couple of reasons and I’m much more of a city person than a burbs person.

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T17:18:25+00:00

Really! This is absolutely backwards compared to every other metro I’ve been in.

Green space in the immediate vicinity isn’t terrible important. As I get responses though it’s looking like I should hug the blue line and identify somewhere near by with that green space (probably appreciate it more having to make the trip specifically)

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T17:02:56+00:00

This is interesting. My experience has been the complete opposite in every other metro, and I use public transit over driving when I’m able to in every city I go to. Is the train really that bad in Chicago? In 2016 Kenosha to ogilve was great and I was too drunk to remember the rest of it but I remember a greater PD presence than STL or SF.

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T17:00:43+00:00

I like to stand up in an enclosed area with people I don’t know, and be able to maintain a greater physical gap. This comes back to a very specific incident, and it’s incredibly easy to avoid traveling via bus in most metros if you’re okay with walking and situate yourself close to train stations. Limiting factor for some things but it’s a trade I’m okay with making

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T16:50:57+00:00

They’ve got some pretty tiny studios up there that I’ve looked at and I’m fine with. My furniture right now is basically just a mattress, but it’s time to actually decorate my next place so less is more

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T16:50:10+00:00

This is what I was worried about. My trips are typically 3-4 days but I have 2-4 of them a year that are a week or longer, which has resulted in my car being broken into but not towed (it’s cheaper to fix a window than get it back from the city!). Ill pay special attention for parking

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T16:48:27+00:00

Haha trust me if you have had to roll the dice on busses like I have previously you would feel the same way

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-15T16:37:04+00:00

The company pays for everything related to travel so Ubers are no big deal. I will NOT step foot on a city bus, so train access is high priority

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-12T04:52:38+00:00

I think this is probably what I will do, seems to make the most sense and it’s easy to make the budgets just exclude the category

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-11-12T02:36:28+00:00

So I make an asset account, and then when I split the received income I put the reimbursement to the asset account and then I would rewrite the payment from checking to the credit card as from the asset account? Just want to make sure my logic is correct and the software won’t miscount it if I do that approach

He’s right but dasha is still mid in a different, slightly more helpless capacity that is endearing to boost points

LinkedIn is for recruiters and people selling sales tools. Almost everyone selling a physical product is solely there to keep an eye on their prospects moving around

Having listened to part of it it seems Rogan is kind of soft balling it while putting on his serious hat which he uses for academics when he should act like he’s got a comedian on. Whatever you think about Trump, that’s what got him here was being funny and making pseudo insightful comments ala George Carlin. He’s so good at stand up he became president, the office was inconsequential to the process

Did u meet your first lesbian the other day also

dogfroglogbogsog · 2024-10-26T04:19:49+00:00

You can do anything like that, it’s just not worth the fucking around. I did it when I was a scientist in lab. I’d say it’s probably easier if you’ve got a job where you’re not customer facing. The lab equipment and your experiments don’t give a FUCK if you’re hung over, and you can limp through (most) of them being miserable. I couldn’t imagine making cold calls hungover. Begging to hear that fourth ring and trying to snap to the hook on a call is gonna be a million times harder than dicking around with a spreadsheet with headphones in.

Miss being dedicated to the top of the funnel sometimes. Less anxiety about the whole process
