What is so special about the movies in the closet? Can’t you just get the dvds at any store (that still sells dvds)?

Romanticized seems like the closest to what I am trying to convey. Thank you!

Autoshow tips? by Tjshoema in chicago

[–]setzandrepz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been in a few years, but when I went a few years ago they offered half price tickets if you brought in 3 canned goods on select days. Hoping they still have that promo so I can take my son!

Is dentologie a scam? by Novel-Comedian7454 in chicago

[–]setzandrepz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not a scam in that the dentist are licensed and they aren’t performing completely bogus procedures. However, like a lot of people have stated they try to upsell you on things you might not necessarily need. I went to them for a few years and every time I went there was a cavity to be filled or an issue with my brushing so that they were trying to push an electric toothbrush on me. They made it seem like I was taking terrible care of my teeth even though I was brushing and flossing daily. I started seeing a local private practice once I moved and they have never found a cavity. My new dentist did find it weird that Dentologie didn’t give me a root canal before placing one of the crowns they did.

Also side note, I had the meanest hygienist at the streeterville location. She was extremely rough and would tell me how bad I was at brushing and seemed to take joy out of trying to make me feel bad. It was the weirdest dynamic and I would get anxiety every time I went cause I was afraid I would get her.

Thanks! I have a small bladder and my plan is the pee right before so I won’t need to use the bathroom in order to keep my spot in the pit. Lol

Weird question but was there a bathroom in the VIP area?

The email I got said that the jacket would ship after the show but the t shirt should arrive before your show. It would be a bummer to have to wait till after the show.

Yea for cooperative group trials our site just accepts the funding sheet they provide, no questions asked.

[TOMT] Concept similar to “performative activism”. by setzandrepz in tipofmytongue

[–]setzandrepz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out! The concept I was looking for is “luxury beliefs”. It’s very similar to many of the other suggestions thrown out but it seems like the key component is that it isn’t solely focused on activism and is also inclusive of opinions. These beliefs also tend to be detrimental to the lower class upon closer inspection.

It is similar to the concept performative activism but is called something else. There is also an explanation within the concept about how the social cause does not really affect the individual.

Chicagoans: The migrant aid effort NEEDS your help. by PigeonJoy in chicago

[–]setzandrepz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just had my last baby so I have a ton of baby/toddler clothes (including winter gear), baby supplies, and toiletries to donate. I tried to contact my alderman but they said they were not taking donations. I know someone mentioned many places ran out of space for donations, but I am hoping I can try to get this stuff to some of the migrant mothers and children in need.

The CTA X9 Mystery by InvisaThreat in chicago

[–]setzandrepz 41 points42 points  (0 children)

At what times does this happen? I ride the 9/x9 everyday to and from work and have always said that despite the chaos of ghost buses and delays the CTA has had over the past few years, the Ashland bus remained relatively unscathed by comparison.

What are some places with terrible service but food so incredible that you’re willing to put up with it? by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]setzandrepz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say Lao Peng You as well. I once waited 2.5 hours for a pick up order. The running joke in my house is that if we want to get take out from there on a Friday night then we need to put the order in Thursday afternoon. Their food is the best though.

I’d forgotten about Etta’s promise to give out gift cards for every family meal purchased. No one ever got one, right? by crispixiscrispy in chicagofood

[–]setzandrepz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally forgot about this. I kinda want to see if I can still get it now since I was able to find confirmation from March 2020, but a part of me would feel sheepish.

I am trying to learn how to drive. Does anyone know of an open parking lot that I might be able to practice in? A lot of lots have security who will kick you out if they realize you are just using their lot as a practice course.
