Ultimately I think criticism of the piece stems from the fact that it spends way more time criticizing Buttegieg’s particular way of performing gayness than it does his milquetoast, uncritical positions on issues (which it does).

If they had just chopped the last 500 words from the piece, it would still be up.

It’s kind of like Elaine crossed with the bra-less woman from Seinfeld.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

What is “fish wire underwear?”

I agree. It would be a lot of fun to create a simulation that gauges the effects of various tax schemes.

At the very least, it would be nice if Sim City allowed for graduation of various taxes into brackets.

Sim City, a game I love dearly, is an unfortunate shill for tax cutting as an ideology. It has taken a lot of real world experience and research to unseat the impression it initially placed in me about the effectiveness of tax cuts as effective economic stimuli.

Given the number of times I’ve nearly been hit WALKING across a street, at a marked crosswalk, at a stop sign or lighted walk signal, with my children.... I would never ride a bicycle on a public street in Chicago.

Drivers are simply too inattentive. They’re all on their fucking phones. Chicago just needs to legalize…

Clam chowder is my favorite soup of all time, and that picture above makes me want some clam chowder.

But I voted for Kate because Dom’s other picks were such crap. Kate had the better overall slate, and Lobster Bisque will do in a pinch.

It’s almost as if being rigorously prepared, completely disciplined, and possessing deep expertise would make you good at politics.

Weird.

How dare all these lazy people working 12 hour shifts organize, hold meetings, form committees, elect officers, and negotiate for wages, conditions and benefits.

So lazy.

Came to say this. QA testers of the world Unite!

That shot of the projector screen makes me feel like insects are crawling under my skin...

Pfft. All the REAL locals go over to the Hall of Jades.

;-)

I would like to add Shedd Aquarium to the list of tourist traps in Chicago. It’s overpriced, always elbow-to-asshole crowded, covered in popcorn, and filled with a bunch of half dead fish lazily floating around.

I’ve lived in Chicago for more than twenty years, and if I never go back there, it will still be too soon.

It says “release date TBD” on Steam.

Am I Steaming wrong?

Chicago:
-Help someone shovel their car out.
-Help someone push their car out of a snowed in spot.
-Drive someone somewhere during rush hour (i.e. 8-10am, 2-7pm).

And yet the Sentient Shart In Chief is doing fine.

Take that, liberal scientists!

I was an adjunct for 9 years at the City Colleges of Chicago and at St. Xavier University, also located in Chicago. My pay per course was $2350 and $2500, respectively. CCC would not give an adjunct more than three courses per semester, SXU would not go above 2, in order to avoid tripping ACA requirements for health…

Unfortunately, we have a nuclear deterrent. So we’ll just keep rotting from the inside until the whole fucking world melts.

They repeat the phrase “promises Made, Promises Kept” until oatmeal oozes out of all the red staters’ ears...

No straight-up popcorn with butter and salt?
