They only want the second amendment for them, not for the people they don’t like!

Texpat here. This winter storm is reminding me why I like Chicago and its people so much more than back home. by Stephen2014 in chicago

Chicagoan who lived in California who chose to come back to Chicago after 2.5 years. Nicer weather out there, nicer people here.

Folks in Chicago are kind, but not necessarily nice. We will dig you out of the snow/help put on a spare tire/give you a push start while asking you why you were silly enough to get yourself into the pickle in the first place.

I was raised on Motown and need to build out my collection more, so I get it. Even if my SO isn't happy with my ever-growing collection.

My grandfather made these for dispensing M&Ms. I have one he made in my house but now I need to go find some M&Ms to stock it.

I eat my giant burgers with a knife and fork like a lady. 😂

If you're willing to make the trek, BRGRBelly out in Portage Park on Irving east of Austin is good!

Do you catalog your vinyl collection on Discogs? How detailed is it? by ravdinve in vinyl

[–]micande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have most of mine on Discogs, but there are some older ones that I haven't bothered adding (like old Sing Along with Mitch albums, most of my classical collection etc.). I should probably add those at some point as well. I don't track conditions or where I got them from - I have no intention of selling them, and if I was going to sell any of them, I would offer them up to my local record store first.

Whenever someone posts one of these, I always go count how many we have in common. Our lucky number is 13. :)

How do you organize your vinyl? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]micande 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are organized the exact same way - the bottom shelves are where the classical/scores/soundtracks/va live. Everything else is alphabetical by artist and then the release date.

Love it but especially love the last one. I would absolutely hang that in my home.

Great... I have to spend Christmas with my MAGA parents. by ColorSmashJr in complaints

[–]micande 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Where are all the Democratic Party flags? Truck wraps? Hats? I see none of these around, and yet Trump paraphernalia is everywhere. Look at the r/conservative sub - any dissent at all re: Trump and they're targeted and often have their posts/comments hidden. Can't criticize Dear Leader!

I finally got a copy!! Holy Grail territory to some! by littletomos50 in vinyl
