^ correct, he wasn't banned.

TUP chose to leave on his own after he was suspended for posting some racist bullshit.

He is accused of a racist white male MAGA type despite being the son of Indian immigrants. Sure he wasn't the most refined when it came to tempering his opinions, but the notion that he is a racist makes Jusse Smollett look mild...

i'm not aware of anyone who accused him of being such.

he made a really fucking stupid racist post, and got suspended for it.

then he decided to take his ball and go home. that's all that happened.

your narrative is something you invented in your own mind.

Idk. TUP had some questionable views even before the post that triggered his suspension. You don’t need to be a white male to be racist, lol. You can be the son of Indian immigrants and still be a racist/bigot.

Yikes, he went off the deep end. Just goes to show even highly educated people have their shortcomings.

This entire comment is hilariously hypocritical and oozes of lack of self-awareness. Where did I say I "couldn't stay in the ring"? I'm pointing out that you aren't using logic but visceral emotion. And the fact you are saying I'm being visceral as a comment to me being rude while acting like I'm not one who's being sensitive only adds to how goofy your retort is...

I'd argue it's actually extremely common in my experience to see racism stem from that background. Not necessarily more or less common, but hardly surprising

Oh, I looked lol me and my gf are actually excited for some real snow. However, I have a feeling we will get tired of it soon enough.

I've been looking around at a couple of different areas but the Loop seems to win out for me and the gf as of now. First, its right next to UIC. Second, her job is in the Loop. Third, if I am going to Chicago, I might as well live in the most urban area of the city(at least for one lease!). We'll see though. I am very excited but also overwhelmed- there is just too many good areas to pick from and too much to do in the city. I am certainly not used to that.

Speaking as someone who's more or less perfectly suited for the cold, bring (or buy) a good winter coat! 20 degrees or colder isn't bad without the wind, but throw in a nice windchill and all bets are off!

as glowrock said, just set yourself up with some good winter gear and you'll be fine.

then get some studded tires for your bike and you can still ride like i did this morning:

fortunately, roughly 75% of my morning route is due north, so that was a nice ripping tailwind for me.

unfortunately, part of the bike path through Skokie had been plowed but not salted, so it was an icy mess.

with the late start i got + the icy mess slowing me down, i was 20 minutes late for work....... whoops.
