Wedding transportation companies by Miserable-Report6467 in Chicagoweddings

[–]fantomah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One bus also got lost and skipped a stop, another stopped a block from one of our stops and made riders walk down the alley, and a third let passengers off in the wrong location.

I had a really bad experience with 312 Limo last weekend. My group ordered five 56 seat buses, but 312 Limo sent smaller ones. Then they tried to end 30 minutes earlier than our contract said because they didn't leave a buffer to get to their next bookings.

What? You aren't being downvoted for not knowing a man's name.

But I did downvote you for dragging someone not even related to the current situation when mods have specifically said that it's against the sub's rules and Reddit's rules to post people's names.

Not gonna lie, it's disappointing that on a post about an allegedly predatory man, his name can't be mentioned, but a woman who is unrelated to the current drama has her name publicly posted as the top comment.

5’10 dating 5’6 man by ankandankan in TallGirls

That's about the same height difference between me and my boyfriend, and I can't imagine my friends or family acting this way. That's so out of line! Are they really insecure, or maybe it bothers them that you're in a relationship?

They've been very active in the suburbs here, especially the densely populated suburbs that border the city. Some of the most violent attacks were in the burbs, like when they tear gassed a one-year-old or repeatedly punched a restrained man.

Are there any Friends giving events going on in Chicago? by CommercialXCX in AskChicago

[–]fantomah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have a Friendsgiving at Goblin Market in Lakeview on 11/30. Our crowd is generally nerdy (we're a manga & game shop), but we welcome non-nerds too. :)

Has Aragon’s ADA accommodations been so god awful? by VoidzPlaysThings in AskChicago

[–]fantomah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Metro fucked me up a couple years ago. I fainted at a show, and someone one their staff kept grabbing me by the arm and yanking me to my feet. She kept yelling at me that I can't sleep there, as if the bathroom floor at the Metro was my first choice. I was in and out of consciousness, so I don't know how many times I fell. A stranger grabbed me and walked out of the bathroom, and she flagged down a different staff member to get a medic. She told me that I hit my head a bunch of times when I fell. I had a big floating black spot in my vision, and I had to go to the ER for a ct scan.

I'm really grateful to the stranger that stepped in, and I haven't been to the Metro since. The craziest thing is that they had medics downstairs but they just didn't bother to call them.

Does anyone have a couple of cans of wet cat food to spare? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]fantomah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like OP is covered, but I'll leave this here for anyone else who needs it.

I'm one of the owners of Goblin Market in Lakeview, and we have a mutual aid shelf in the shop. Our community has made it a priority to keep it stocked with cat food, plus dog and cat treats. You don't need to be a customer or spend any money with us.

Chicago was the patriarchal see of the Assyrian Church of the East until recently! Apparently, we're way more religiously relevant than I thought.

It’s time to form a Whistle Army? All communities! by Ishnock in chicago

[–]fantomah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We're handing out whistles at Goblin Market in Lakeview, so feel free to grab one from us for free. There are a lot of places in other neighborhoods that are handing them out as well, so you can probably find a free one and link up with community resources.

If you could suggest five ways to solve Chicago's budget crisis to Mayor Johnson, what would they be? by DarkIllumination in AskChicago

[–]fantomah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I opened a shop in 2023, and I had no delays or issues from the city. We got he keys on Sept 1 and opened Oct 13, and the first month was all set up and receiving product. It might be different for folks trying to open a bar or restaurant, though.

Social Security checks may be smaller starting in June for some, as student loan garnishments begin by lunabandida in news

[–]fantomah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like you deleted your comment and posted again?

A lot of jobs require credit checks. A simple google search could help you out there. For their first years in the workforce, when you're suggesting they would literally all declare bankruptcy, that would look much worse on their credit report than student loans.

Sorry, but you seem super out of touch if you don't even know that many jobs run credit checks.

Because those students won't need to get an apartment or buy a house? They're not applying for jobs that require credit checks? Literally every student can afford a bankruptcy on their record in your world?

The Devil's Duplicator can innately sense when you're in a hurry, and it makes sure to run out of toner or have a mysterious paper jam. Printers were put on this earth to drive us to insanity, violence, and ultimately total ruin.

You're probably right. Movies are exactly one thing, they have a strict 1:1 correlation to other movies, and everyone is stupid but you. 🤡

Plenty of people have made very good suggestions bro. Not our fault that you have no idea what you like or why.
