OT: Anything Goes 41

A man died. Grant him his peace in that.

 

[Pez68]

Nah.

 

[hawksrule]

f*** him. Good riddance.

The celebrating OJ's death is way too over-the-top, for my taste but I won't grant him any peace, either.

I'm a little too young to have watched his football days.

But he was funny in Naked Gun 2 and a half.

"You sure know your boxing"

"Wellll, all I know is never bet on the white guy"

O.J nods lol.

If you have a clear view of the western horizontal dusk (and away from the city to a darker sky) there is a comet that looks good in binocs. It sets at 8:44 so around 8pm-8:15 is best time. It is between Airies and the moon/Jupiter.

These protesters at O’Hare are out of their f***ing minds.

Couldn’t believe the videos I saw. That shit is ridiculous. Blocking the road is dangerous. Should be immediate arrest.

Side note, nothing could possibly make me care even less about whatever your cause is.

I think 40 people were arrested but only charged with misdemeanors.

Even without a sense a taste, I like being back reliably in sun tea season. I’m churning through a 64 ounce mason jar’s worth of the stuff every few days.

Anyone familiar with these places




I am not but apparently, they shutdown out of nowhere

Some people are very upset by this

Foxtrot was a ritzy grocer/ convenience store in Lincoln Park, Streeterville, Gold Coast, etc. I think Dom’s was similar, but I’d never been there.

Dutch Farms puts in bid to buy Oberweis

Brace yourself! Its almost that time



Weeks away from Brood XIII emerging in Northern Illinois/Indiana and Brood XIX will be emerging in Southern Illinois soon

Why Illinois will be the cicada capital of the United States in 2024

When are the cicadas coming back? A unique event will occur when two specific broods of periodical cicadas appear together in Illinois this spring.

And if you're in parts of Central Illinois you could be hit with rare double Cicada brood event as they will overlap in several counties

While annual cicadas emerge every midsummer in Illinois, this year will feature a once-in-several-lifetimes event when two particular broods of periodical cicadas will start appearing together — as early as May. Periodical cicadas emerge in 17- and 13-year cycles, and these two groups — Brood XIII and Brood XIX — appear at the same time only once every 221 years. And they only occur adjacently in one area: a handful of counties in east-central Illinois.

Already started to notice some holes under my mom's trees and in her garden areas this past weekend when I was over there. So seems some have already started to emerge, just not the main wave.

I have holes EVERYWHERE in my yard. It's going to be insane.

Hundreds of teens have taken over parts of downtown and are fighting, jumping on cars, etc



Safe to say its officially summer now

Local politicians need to realize/start caring that clips like this become viral and deter people from coming to the city and spending their money.

Where are these kid’s parents??? Running around like animals there’s no accountability.

I won't come this summer. Mainly because it is a city that seems to enjoy crime and chaos. Like some other cities of the same ilk.

It's hilarious to know roughly how old someone is, and where they get their news from, based on a single post.

Chicago is not as bad as the media narrative portrays it to be. You should come up here and enjoy the great bars, restaurants, museums, and activities the city has to offer. Especially in the summer, Chicago is one of the best cities in the country.

I recently went to San Francisco and thought I'd be stepping over homeless junkies and used needles all the time based on what I've heard. Instead I found myself in a gorgeous city with so much to offer. If i could afford to live there I would love to, it was an amazing place. There were of course some bad areas and specifically in Mission is where we saw the worst, but otherwise we had a great time.

Big cities are going to have big city crime. It's inevitable and a fact of life. I think the country is riding that pendulum swing of the post George Floyd and "Defund the Police" attitude with many big city politicians but things will swing back the other way soon enough. It's just very disappointing to see all those kids running around and our mayor's response is "demonizing kids is wrong".

1) That behavior from them is wrong and unacceptable. There are things that just shouldn't be tolerated when we're living in a society together. Corrections need to be made.

2) It reinforces an inaccurate narrative to apprehensive suburbanites who think they need a bullet-proof vest to come visit Chicago.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Chicago is a beautiful city with rough edges. Love being downtown when I can.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

My take is that it's always a good idea to visit Chicago, unless it's winter or a massive convention or lollapalooza is going on and hotels are expensive as all hell.

Fox News has really done a great job destroying people's perception of big cities. I've travelled to a bunch of these crime-ridden hellholes over the last few years (including Detroit), and my experiences have been great. It's all f***ing bullshit meant to feed into the culture war nonsense, and keep people terrified of leaving their house (and it's obviously working). People love to hark back on the good old days, but crime in the big cities was much, much worse as recently as 10-20 years ago...

Lots of people missing common sense in their lives. Need to be told how to live and not actually live themselves.
