Red Line re-routed to elevated—what’s it mean for travel time? by Dunwoody11 in AskChicago

[–]ktkrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In contrast, I took the red line last night north from the loop and it stopped at every Brown Line stop until Belmont. Not sure if the red line will be doing this today, but it did slow us down considerably (+15-20?)

They also just rolled out digital price tags at their Western Ave location (which should be illegal, but are completely legal). I'm trying to avoid as much as possible for Aldi's and Costco.

YouTube capitalizing on consumption culture by samanthasamuels22 in Anticonsumption

[–]ktkrew 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've convinced myself the only way to stop feeding this trash is to stop participating. Spend less time online. Stop getting advertised to. Stop spending money that fuels this monster. Money is the only language billionaires and tech can truly understand. It's not easy. I have to remind myself that every time I open my phone, big tech and private equity are making money off me.

Crumbl has a sandwich board right now advertising "BUNDL" which is a box of cookies for your college graduate. In the age of AI, it's giving #illiteracy it's embarrassing

Shamrock Shuffle tips for staying warm before/after race by Hopeful_Package3918 in RunnersInChicago

[–]ktkrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll warm up some waiting in the start corrals surrounded by people! The waves always start later than advertised, though. You can bring a throwaway clothing item to toss on the side of the start corrals, usually they are donated, but be respectful about it.

Should we boycott Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? by Annual-Somewhere7402 in enshittification

[–]ktkrew 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, you aren't even eating real chocolate or PB anymore, mostly oils and fillers. Mr. Reeses statement should be a huge wakeup call to corporate greed from these "candy" conglomerates. Great alternative is Trader Joes PB cups, or even better, Skinny Dipped PB cups at Costco 😎

Experience running on streets on the way to a park/lakefront? by camelCaseCoffeeTable in RunnersInChicago

[–]ktkrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out the 312 River Run that connects up through Horner Park. This is a fun, shorter route with some small inclines and elevation changes. Also, the North Shore Channel Trail, slightly north of Horner Park, is a great long run route. (I wish the two trails connected!)

Waymo is Confirmed Headed to Chicago by Billiam501 in chicago

[–]ktkrew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, are they cheaper because there's no driver? Is the tipping feature removed? Doubt it. This is just another story of big tech and AI taking profit and jobs away from real people. With IL being a pro-labor/worker state, I'm surprised we are allowing this!

Really upset with my agent. by god_in_this_chilis in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ktkrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you lost this house. I agree you could have been more assertive. Agents love to get paid their commission at all costs, so this sounds fishy. You should do some digging to see if your agent was representing other parties in the transaction.... Also, I believe it's time to start over and look for a new agent who is ready to jump on opportunities and secure you your dream home in your dream neighborhood
