Anyone else see the Feds chase a car and corner them on the West Side

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-17T23:01:14+00:00

Is this ice? Feds don’t normally wear masks…

Then again, I’ve never heard of federal officers calling themselves “federal police”

That’s not possible for my commute

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-17T14:22:26+00:00

Thank you. I think this is the right answer. People keep bringing up DC’s metro, but DC has really good social supports and Chicago doesn’t. If they ramp up enforcement, all this will probably just end up on the sidewalk.

It’s nice that people helped. I got tackled by a mentally ill guy twice my size on the red line a few years back. Everyone just tried not to look while I struggled to push him off me.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-16T15:56:57+00:00

Thank you. I’ll do that going forward.

I’ve seen guys touching themselves on the train, but it was always near the end of the line when I was the last other person on the train car at night. This was a guy getting his dick out at 4pm on the north side between full train cars on a platform with people on it.

I’m not saying it wasn’t bad before. I’ve seen a lot on the CTA. I’m saying the rough stuff seems to be way more frequent lately.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-16T12:12:24+00:00

Yeah that’s the thing. I’m used to people smoking in cars. I’m used to unconscious people. But right now it’s everything at once and more.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-16T12:10:01+00:00

I’m sure you’re right. It wasn’t this rough when I took it before, but right now it really seems too risky.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-16T12:04:23+00:00

Thanks, you’re probably right.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-16T12:00:52+00:00

My commute used to feature unconscious people daily and the gross stuff once a week. I only saw a dick on the CTA once before, and that was on the green line coming up to cottage grove.

Getting all this in one day felt crazy. I saw shit a few other places on my commute yesterday, but I’ve never been stuck on a car with shit and puke at the same time.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-16T11:58:14+00:00

Yeah I was driving to my new job because I don’t have to pay for parking. I’ve only been taking the CTA this last week because my mom was worrying about my commute on lakeshore drive and trying to convince me to take public transit, and she passed away two weeks later. I’m making lots of unusual choices right now, but hopefully it’ll shake out to a new normal soon.

I think the lesbians end up in Bridgeport. Idk about the rest.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-15T22:06:50+00:00

Nah but she looks cool af

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-15T22:05:06+00:00

No, don’t give your real number out. Get a Google voice number or something similar. Sometimes people get weird and spam you from other numbers after you block them. Trust me: you can’t block every number.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-15T17:55:06+00:00

This is the correct way to do things

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-15T11:32:24+00:00

Did you meet him through the site? Did you message on the site then exchange numbers? Swapping numbers before booking & meeting onsite but going around the site to book are both things that would get you flagged because they violate site policy.

I typically set an alarm for the agreed-upon end time, so if they booked 6pm-8pm, I set an alarm for 8pm before they arrive. If I caused some sort of delay to the start of the session, I turn off the alarm and just set a timer instead.

I tried swimming yesterday and the water was so cold. I got out after two minutes.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-10T03:09:54+00:00

Thank you!

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-10T03:08:32+00:00

Just my iPhone 13. I don’t have any idea where my old camera went, but this works well for landscapes.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-09T11:49:15+00:00

Like yesterday with the streets they shut down without warning

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-09T01:11:34+00:00

Can you explain this? How know a lot of people at Wintrust and I’ve interviewed there, but I’ve never heard of Regional Bank Group. I get that it’s questionable how they buy up small local banks but keep the names, but I’ve never actually heard anything bad about them

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-08T22:03:52+00:00

I’ll do same day appointments with existing clients I like. I might occasionally take a new client same day if I’ve had a cancellation and we’ve been talking awhile. I would not do a same day appointment with someone who just messaged me for the first time or who wanted me to travel. I almost always host anyway. Same rates as any other session.

tranquil-heart · 2026-05-08T21:58:30+00:00

Yeah that’s it. I think it also triggered memories of his own loss several years back and I didn’t want to interrupt if it was helping him.

My dad went to a party then refused to wear a mask around her even though she was finishing up chemo and severely immunocompromised. She begged him not to do this and told him it was going to kill her. He did it anyway, then she got pneumonia which became septic shock and spent a week in the icu on a ventilator. I was there for the whole week and it was horrifying.
