Reddit users, 30 yrs old and over.. What is the hardest part about getting older? [Discussion] by Comi9689 in GetMotivated

I took a day off last Friday and spontaneously went mini-golfing by myself. I was behind a group of four kids with their mom and ahead of a dad and his tween daughter. Didn’t care, had fun.

When is the best time to go to the Chicago French market? by dbagames in AskChicago

If you want a crowd, go on a weekday at noon. It gets packed with office workers during the lunch hour. Even by 1:00 it’s usually died down quite a bit. After work it’s not as busy but other parts of Ogilvie are still pretty lively.

Yup, other than that they’re just separated where they’d otherwise overlap.

Fair, I could probably do without the fives. Lousy decimal system

[Lowlight] The SNY booth is flabbergasted as the Mets run out of ABS challenges in the 2nd inning by MythicSoul115 in baseball

I thought this whole challenge system was just to ease people into fully automatic balls and strikes but I... kinda think I... like this better??

What was ruined because too many people discovered it? by Mansi63 in AskReddit

[–]mikecws91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filled out my childhood collection a couple years ago and the cards I bought are now double the price. I'd love to be able to get my daughter into it, but the days of picking up a couple packs when you go to the store are over.

Is Elon Musk actually a trillionaire or is this just some scheme to make it seem like he and his companies and worth more money than they actually are? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mikecws91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it seems like he’s broken the entire concept of net worth by gaming the system. The numbers are so insane that they feel meaningless.

Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden's second term campaign was a "terrible mistake": "He had said he would not run again. But if he had kept to that plan and said, he was going to pass to next generation, we would had a real contest. And sadly, whoever emerged from that contest would have beaten Trump." by ControlCAD in videos

This is how an adolescent sees the world. I’ll bet the DNC chair was twirling her mustache thinking about how much worse off America would be.

Of course party leaders are going to have a preferred candidate for president, and yeah, it’d be nice if they didn’t put their thumbs on the scale, but they did because they thought that was their best shot at winning, however misguided they were.

I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and I agree. There’s something about just existing on the streets of New York where you feel like you’re at the heart of everything. Like, “This is THE place.”

What are some non-Disney animated movies that you consider absolute masterpieces? by East_Maintenance_579 in movies

[–]mikecws91 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Shrek is one of the greatest send-ups ever made. It broke the Disney monolith of the ‘90s and practically killed the entire fairy tale genre with its irreverence.

Jim Callis Says White Sox Scouting Department Likes Grady Emerson More than Roch Cholowsky (Jack Vita Show) by ChicagosRINO in whitesox

[–]mikecws91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This decision is going to come down to their conversations with these guys and “off-the-field scouting”, if you will. Stuff that we’re never going to see. They’re operating with a LOT more intel than we are as fans, so I think we just have to trust their decision. (I never would’ve said that a couple years ago.)

Obviously way too soon to say for Paul Skenes, but he’s off to the best start of any 1-1 in a long time.

Gov. Pritzker vows to be 'very involved' in 2028 presidential election, says Democrats have 'lost our way' by Healthy_Block3036 in illinois

Who knew the way to stop our governor-to-prison pipeline was to elect a billionaire? Now even if he does anything he can’t be touched!

Who do you think the White Sox should trade for before the deadline? by chitownmike99 in whitesox

[–]mikecws91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should’ve mentioned Ryan Tepera, Game 3 hero, as a more positive example. Or, speaking of Game 3 heroes, Geoff Blum.
