I can't smell "bad" things yet, which is the weirdest. Skunks outside? Garbage? Literal shit? It hasn't registered. I mean, of all things concerned, that might be a blessing and make living in the city a little nicer lol. Though I nonetheless want that back; I feel like I am at an evolutionary disadvantage here. I guess I better find some willing ladies for those orgies Gaijin was talking about if smell ain't going to be an issue, eh?
My alley near Milwaukee and Augusta could use some tending to in that case. Jesus after that blizzard (which I was not here for

) and it's like everyone just said "fuck it".
I on-and-off take the train, but my laziness is keeping me in a car more than I'd like to. I was always so anti-driving in the city during normal traffic times; now a 20 minute commute (previously: 60-75 min) is a serious competitor with an hour train ride. I guess going off the above, smells should not bother me on the train anymore LOL.
I believe I stated this here before but the Blue Line is a fucking SHIT SHOW and I don't even ride it. My GF does daily (twice a day both ways actually) and she's always sending me pics. Best one so far was a guy chopping up lines on the seat across from her. Worse, she doesn't think it was coke. Probably his opioids.
I am not blind to the fact that many people are dying, but since I am locked down I am the least likely person to need a vaccine. I will get my vaccine when asked to get it, as it is a requirement of my job.
Fair enough - apparently in Chicago I can "fake my way" to the vaccine line but I have the unsurprising moral obligation to not do that shit. Let someone that needs more go first. We were busting your balls because by definition once you have symptoms a vaccine is useless -- they are, by definition, only preventative. Not a treatment.
