Ehud posted:I went to the touristy part of Chicago and it was wonderful Well they were big dumdums. Most of the city is perfectly fine and wonderful. I’m a huge packers fan and I love this city. I feel way safer in my neighborhood here than wandering around at night in my small dying industrial Wisconsin hometown

Apparently Leonard Fournette is "day-to-day" with his hammy injury. My bet is that he is inactive vs the Patriots.Ehud posted:one thing I like is how everyone thinks they have the worst traffic I do find it remarkable that there are people who stop, unprompted, in the middle of a road (a road where the speed limit is 45) to let people turn out of parking lots. There are people who stop at green lights to let someone who has a red light turn/go. Drive 30 in a 45, ect I could go on

Didnt they do an accidents per mile driven study and it was basically a heat map of “where does drunk driving happen most often?”

Detroit doesn't have the worst traffic or drivers but by god it unquestionably has the worst roads.

(Inverurie) I just moved out of Edinburgh and into the countryside and its amazing, I have a slightly longer commute in the morning but the view i get makes up for it. Eh, i dont really see the English hate that much (Im half English myself). Its played up a lot and depends on who you speak to, its definitely a lot more prominent at the moment due to the Brexit thing though.

Sunrises at like 7am or something. Doesnt get like that until the end of October usually though.

I lived in Edinburgh for a year in elementary school and I remember it being real nice but the sun going down at 3 pm in the winter is pretty depressing. Also I think Scotland was way poorer in the late eighties than it is now.

Biking in China is bad because people have incentive to kill you if you get hit rather than call the hospital

(The traffic isn't that bad though) I find it to be better than DC or Atlanta. DC is insane and Atlanta named 40% of their streets Peachtree just to make it harder for minorities to find Buckhead.

In your defense Chicago rules except the parts that don't and really people who don't live there shouldn't talk about things they don't know. It'd be like me complaining about Southies even though I've never been to Boston.

That implies that people who don't live there now have no way of knowing what the city is like, or that a city is somehow immune to criticism if you don't reside there. Most cities suck. It's completely fair to make that statement if the complaint is warranted.

I have a friend in Detroit who absolutely loves living there, and while she doesnt claim it doesnt have problems she goes hard on people who just automatically assume its hell on earth. The Midwest in general is the most misunderstood part of the country.
