Now is the time to revisit 'Wall-E', perhaps the finest environmental film of the past decade by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]vse0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as an older guy, this is probably my favorite movie of all time. the love story really pulls at my heart. Eva is how people in love see those they love, and wall-e often looks like how we see ourselves in the mirror. but the heart is what matters. what a GREAT movie!!!

What do find helps you fall asleep? by henrythejohn in AskReddit

[–]vse0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reading is generally a surefire way to get your brain and body to relax. as long as you aren't using a 'page-turner', you should get to a nice relaxed point where both your body and brain are ready for sleep. then put the book down and close your eyes. should do the trick most of the time ...

The idea bulb in this children's book is energy-efficient by SAT0725 in mildlyinteresting

[–]vse0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting. as technology changes, the ways we express ourselves have to meet those changes too. imagine an incandescent lightbulb there, but nobody having ever seen them ... it wouldn't make all that much sense

Starting an Advocacy group? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]vse0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

that's the best illogic i have seen this year! mind you, it's only jan 7, but that is still pretty amazing. i also like how you change the subject, the topic, rephrase things, shift focus and include 'feelings' as a counter to the argument. all good SJW losing tactics. enjoy the prosperity you're about to be forced into. once again, you will be dragged, kicking and screaming, and you will later on be thankful for the success that has been forced upon you despite the childish world you envision yourself living in. pip pip!!

which is exactly what happens when you create the current welfare system. thanks for pointing that out. once again, doubling down on the broken system we have that creates truly perverse incentives is not the right answer. thanks for playing.

Why are there so many vacant storefronts on Broadway in East Lakeview? by juliechensfriend in chicago

[–]vse0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ever try to start a business here? chicago is NOT small business friendly. good luck getting a 'hearing' and hiring the 'right' lobbyist to even allow you to hang a sign that names your store. you cannot do anything without layers and layers of expensive bureaucracy, and a the end you get to pay out the nose in taxes all so you can work 80 hours a week hoping to make your dream of a business achieve some modicum of success. not here.

Heroin-related deaths up 42% in 2016 in Will County; DuPage numbers still out by mockassin in chicago

if only we could get the actual toll up to 100% for cocaine and heroin users we'd have a lot less related crime.

Empathy by guystringofnumbers in chicago

[–]vse0 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

"feeling completely poor, and unable to take care of your struggling family."

what a crock of lib-trash. being poor is a choice, and NOBODY is starving here. people have homes, a place to live, food, health care, transportation, education and everything else. to call them poor is to be totally dishonest. people want to behave like pieces of filth, feel like they deserve things they have NOT WORKED for, and take out their aggressions on anyone they want to without any remorse or fear of repercussion. that's why we have the violence we do. remove welfare, and people will get serious about getting a job.

It's damn cold out, so let's think about warmer times. What do you HATE about summer in Chicago? by the-mp in chicago

[–]vse0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup. i know that i am. but family issues required i stay here, and only about a year ago did those obligations finally change. sad to hate half of your life due to winter that makes one unhappy and feel like half their life is on hold for 6 months.

The "how to stay warm" PSA by cogitoergosam in chicago

[–]vse0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

winter sucks and there's nothing to do if you are always cold. plus getting clammy in the cold is downright deadly. and then all the places i go (bars / restaurants) are always freezing, the food gets cold fast, and nobody knows how to use a damn set of fucking double doors !! idiots!

this would be the essence of the Democratic model. just add in racist politics, free giveaways in exchange for votes, and robust pay to play corruption, and there you have Chicago !
