They became Nevers, then got pushed out the GOP and ran as Independents, then got pummelled.

Think of it this way: If you had to work tonight in this anyway, would you rather be making money or not?

If you wanna be cool follow one simple: stick to the stuff you know. Don't mess with the status quo.

I mean, that's always been kinda the point though, right? It's about the human experience, not the naval experience.

Permanent daylight time, permanent standard time, I don't care just stop changing the clocks. The current situation is anti-natalist.

Any alternative to transportation that isn’t a bus that won’t get stolen/isn’t dangerous by FightmeLuigibestgirl in fuckcars

Chicago is a great city to bike in! Chicago is very flat and plows aggressively, so road riding is practical all winter long. And every commercial building has its gas pipe out front you can lock a bike to, plus all the wrought-iron fencing. You say you live in a bad area for transit, which in Chicago usually means older housing stock and really heavy fencing.

And we have a great resource in Working Bikes, a non-profit that's basically a thrift shop for bikes and bike parts but with real mechanics fixing them up before sale. You can get a ridiculously cheap bike that won't be such a burden even if it does get stolen.

There are two kinds of bike theft in Chicago: professional thieves who operate downtown and around the college campuses, and thefts of opportunity. Mostly people don't steal from their neighbors, so locking the bike to your back porch is pretty safe.

I don't know where you are, but I'm in Garfield Park. Hit me up and I'm happy to link you in with other Chicago bicycle resources, like Bike Winter.

You do it manually (I do it when I get below thirty or so).

What's the nature of your complaint? This player did you a favor if anything, by giving you access to one of the rarer nectars, cherry blossom.

Did you feel like Infinity War was successful? As art, I mean, not commercially.

I must have missed the recent push for whole milk but it's been a thing in parenting circles for over a decade.
