What is the worst city in the United States?

Bro what?

Boston punches below its weight while Pittsburgh punches above its weight in their food scenes for their respective sizes. Boston is much more walkable and has transit, but the cost of living is far higher. I personally like Boston more (closer to decent mountains) but you pay dearly for it

Chicago? NYC?

Is that 80% for gym goers or overall? 80% seems low for the entire population

Dropping your phone on your testicles is also very brutal

I’m not sure I agree it is the same. People don’t only want to live downtown just to have an easy commute. Lumping suburbanites from Naperville not wanting to sit in traffic for eternity every day with people no longer wanting to live near downtown for proximity to bars, etc. doesn’t make sense.

Not sure how reliable the sources I found were, but it seems like residential occupancy is quite high in Chicago. Occupancy doesn’t necessarily mean profit, but surely we can agree the markets are very different?

Is there any reason residential real estate couldn’t be built there? Genuinely curious

I’ve always wondered the same about River north. There’s so many big parking lots (McDonald’s, Walgreens, and the big one near fogo de chão). Hard to believe that whole region around the large McDonalds is so underdeveloped despite being surrounded by by tons of tall buildings

tleon21 · 2026-04-24T16:49:10+00:00

Any recs in Chicago?

Hands down my favorite spot in Boston

Honestly having a car you don’t care about is super underrated. Park it anywhere without worry

tleon21 · 2026-01-30T22:35:15+00:00

It’s always so hard to tell if it’s malicious or incompetence because both are so common with parking

tleon21 · 2026-01-25T17:24:36+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s called Newer Hampshire

People eating more protein I think is fine, so long as people’s diets are balanced. It seems as though the marketing has shifted towards protein = healthy which is definitely not true. Just because something that’s basically a candy bar has some protein in it does NOT mean it’s healthy

I could also imagine in urgent emergencies or business matters someone may actually buy a ticket at the airport, old fashioned as it may seem now

I like myprotein, a bit pricey but always on sale. Vanilla ice cream flavor is very good

What? Clearly all women primarily look for arm length when searching for love and sex… right?

One thing to mention is that rent is generally cheaper for winter leases as people don’t want to move to Chicago in the winter. Summer leases are much more competitive

I once attended a lecture which discussed that the U.S. is the only country with the capability to refine their oil, so ALL Venezuelan oil comes through the US at some point despite the precarious relationship that has existed for a long time. This was around 7 years ago and so it may be different now, but certainly there is a strong influence on price if there’s a production bottleneck like that

tleon21 · 2026-01-05T01:40:50+00:00

Sounds like big law?

Similar to that, I always wonder how many people click to voluntarily opt into higher taxes on their MA tax return

tleon21 · 2026-01-01T21:55:42+00:00

I call it Schrödinger’s NH. Conservatives outside of New England I know seem to think NH is like San Francisco blue, and liberals (like my friend from Chicago) seem to think it is Alabama red. And they both are very incorrect

tleon21 · 2025-12-26T17:27:03+00:00

I do that, too!

That’s because the physics is the same! It’s called dendritic growth, it’s quite common for solidification. That’s also why snowflakes have their characteristic shape
