These threads are full of people making the straight-up weakest arguments for destroying nature…

“…but privacy and noise!”

Ugh, just take all that money you would have spent on the ridiculous driveways, extra lengths of road, utilities, and lawn care and put it into higher quality building materials for the apartments/townhouses.

We build crap quality places in the US and all I hear from my fellow countrymen is “we can’t (or don’t want to) do it any other way”.

Right

That accounts for a huge portion of the Chicago population.

Yeah the Metra is a commuter rail - it runs to and from the city and suburbs. It doesn’t run all night long - few, if any, commuter rail lines would waste enormous amounts of cash to run that way.

The suburbs are shit. If you want reliable transportation day and night, you need population density to support it. Ergo - you need to live in an actual city - not suburban sprawl.

Wait she did? Wow I have a lot to learn about Taylor Swift. Okay I would have definitely deserved to lose that bet.

Yeah I actually thought she wouldn’t ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it’s a bad thing.

Anyway I didn’t think she would because I’m certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn’t risk her image. I’m glad I was wrong.

I dunno Chicago is pretty great. We have both kinds of trans and it’s so kinds of awesome generally speaking

I legit can’t tell if this person is a really good troll or if they’re talking in circles and haven’t figured that out yet.

Beautiful

Swindled! Fooled! Cumbubblefucked!

Well gosh golly I guess we just can’t do anything then. Throw more kids on the pile.

This thread seems to be downplaying the effectiveness of guns. Obviously, given the cancerous gun culture being what it is, there’s no way I’ll be able to convince anyone who’s already decided that guns aren’t a problem.

Just for the rest of the world, I’m just going to point out that there are sane folks here in the US who fully recognize that guns are definitely the problem and aren’t going to point to the ludicrous notion of “a car or a bomb” as the next obvious substitute for firearms mowing down children in classrooms across the country.

I really hope none of the 11 or 12 black Republicans in existence ever come across this post because they’d be piiiiissed.

Come to Chicago. It’s amazing.

My fucktarded friends would be insulted

Aww that’s sad :(

Oh right I forgot that bit! Thanks!

I’ll admit it I made it well into adulthood without knowing that Disney was clearly saying “Lord Fuckwad” to my adolescent face for years. It’s maybe the coolest thing about my childhood upon reflection. Fucking hilarious.

I hope nobody ever forgets this man or the awful things he wrought upon the country and world. I hope his name becomes synonymous with idiot, fuckup, corrupt, or just plain king dumbass.

I want society to reflect on his life and presidency as such a failure that his most ardent supporters and enablers find themselves incapable of being seen in public for fear of intense, unending ridicule.

I hope history books being written today adequately portray him in such a way that even MAGA teachers feel incapable of defending him to their students. I hope the fascist third of American society is faced with the reality of their choices and that it follows them until the end of their days.
