$21 bacon cheeseburger from Chant in Hyde Park

No it wasn’t worth 21 bomboclatt dollars. I’m unsure why the spots in 53rd think they can charge so damn much!!! And the fries were cold👎🏾

So is r/windycity just like that?

Somewhat new to reddit and trying to find the best Chicago subs to get information. Came across that sub and I have never been so mortified by people on reddit. Some of the most disgusting things said about minorities and homeless people. And very pro cop. Is that just... standard for that sub, an unspoken secret?

Soft Serve Margaritas at El Rincon De Mexico in Archer Heights

Another stop on my soft serve margarita tour. So far I have tried 3/4 places that have it in the city. This version was really good! This is the first one I have tried that uses dairy, I think it does melt quicker because of it but this one is strong as hell and only $14!

My ranking so far:
- Casa Tulum -$14 (non dairy)
- El Rincon - $14 (dairy)
- La Mejikana - $18 (Non dairy)

Next one is Pancho’s rooftop. I heard that one was nasty but I’ll be brave and try it anyways.

I had a session that changed my perspective on my spiritual journey

I got a reading and my spirit team made me realize something important

At times, I do hold myself to a standard of becoming a better human. Not partaking in alcohol as often, not using cannabis all day every single day. Taking care of my body and mind by working out, journaling and meditating. But I have realized that I often times hold back from truly indulging in things because I felt like I have not hit a goal in my life.

An example of this is if I don’t go to the gym for a few days, I don’t have any sweets despite me having a huge sweet tooth. Or if I didn’t accomplish my goals for the day, I hold off on eating dinner until I do so. A bigger example of this is me not speaking to someone I am dealing with because I have not accomplished the goals I have been working towards and manifesting. My spirit team was like girl, stop doing that. You are only doing a disservice to yourself by resisting the human urges you are feeling towards this person.

It feels weird, I never realized to quote them: “Spirit is saying you were not meant to complete some checklist before being “allowed” to reconnect... growth is ongoing. You didn’t cut contact to become perfect. You cut contact to become grounded.”

This is something that has seriously changed my perspective in the past few days. I hope someone else resonates with this.

Remembering the beef rib pho from Pho Nam Lua who just suffered a horrific kitchen fire a few days ago

One of the only places in Chicago you can get beef rib pho had a horrible kitchen fire a few days ago and is shut down until further notice. Thankfully nobody was hurt and everyone was able to evacuate with no issues. But man, RIP to a neighborhood gem💔

Just saw this on TikTok

Like i agree, Budlong sucks. But a Cava or a Sweetgreen over a local (although owned by private equity) spot is crazyyy

Taco Sublime in Mckinley Park

Wow, just wow. One of the few places I finally understand the hype for. The burger is INSANE, I got the Oklahoma burger with bacon and seriously, high quality ingredients down to the bun. The tacos were great too! Especially the chicken taco. Often times, chicken tacos in this city are pretty mid. But this one was amazing, thick cuts of marinated chicken and tons of it too. They are not stingy with the portions at all.

I wish this place wasn’t so far, I would be a regular.

Made a list of places in Chicago that has California burritos

I got most of these from this sub, but if anyone has any suggestions please let me know so I can add to this list!

Cross section of Vicky’s California Burrito

This time they def put more fries than protein. Still good, but not as good as the one I had last week. $14 before tax and tip.

We have been getting flooded with these posts from people looking for housing for internships. I want to do something to reduce the number of them by providing resources.

What are some resources you recommend? I was already in the midst of making a list of sublease facebook groups but other links to add would be much appreciated.

As of right now, I think it is takeout and delivery only. I saw someone on TikTok try it out so I wanted to give it a try since I have tried most of the other Nigerian spots. The food is a little pricy BUT, they give you a lot of it.

I got the jollof combo with suya and plantain ($25) and the gizdodo ($15) (gizzard and plantain). Jollof very well seasoned and spicy, suya is amazing, you can tell they grilled it! I am bias because Gizdodo is one of my favorite dishes and honestly this one tastes just like the one my aunty made growing up. Made me very nostalgic.

I will be a regular for sure. I think this place is also a lounge….? I will look to see if I can attend one of their DJ events they post on IG

▲ 93 r/Tarotpractices+1 crossposts

Someone asked a question here, and I replied, saying, and I quote, “AI has no space in spirituality.” I was then banned for “Gatekeeping”. Here is the official reasoning given:

>Your comment from Divination was removed because of: 'Gatekeeping'

>Hi u/Sea-Condition991, This post/comment on /r/ Divination is considered gatekeeping. There are many approaches to Divination, and your post asserts in some way that other approaches are not valid.

>You have been banned, permanently.

>This includes negative and aggressive comments about particular tools. Anti-Al posts and accusations of closed practices / appropriation are also not welcome, in most cases. Making assertions about the ethical / moral / political nature of a poster or item is almost guaranteed to be gatekeeping. Gatekeeping will generally result in an immediate and permanent ban.

One of the mods tried to argue with me and gave me this justification.

>“That is gatekeeping, and it states specifically all over the rules, the front page, etc. that this is NOT allowed. Anti-Al gatekeeping in particular is called out. Al doesn't have a place in YOUR spirituality - that's fine. Saying I won't use Al is allowed. Calling it Al slop is not. Saying "no truly spiritual person would use it"- that's the True Scotsman tallacy, gatekeeping, and not allowed. That it has no place in anyone's spirituality? Not allowed. That iot has no place in someone's divination tools? Also gatekeeping and not allowed. People are allowed to duscuss and use pretty much ANY tool as long as it's related to divination. They read with pieces of circuit boards? That's fine. They use online tarot interps? Also fine. They receive messages from their spirits through YuGiOh TV shows? Yup, you guessed it, also fine.”

So my question to the people. Is AI a part of spirituality? Is this a bullshit ban? Is it gatekeeping by saying AI has no place in spiritual practices? Please let me know if this mod is justified or if I should just leave this alone and let the universe take care of it.

Someone posted this a few weeks ago and everyone was bitching about the price. Is $14 for a burrito a lot? Yes, that is more on par with California prices. But it is a thick and long ass burrito that will probably become one of my favorite go tos during the summer. You can have it with steak, chicken, al pastor and i think carnitas. Comes with pico, fries, LOTS OF GUAC and cheese. Also their habanero salsa is so spicy but sooooo good. Really adds a great kick to the burrito.

One thing I will do next time is ask them not to cut it. I honestly hate when burrito spots cut it in half. When I am eating it like a burrito and get to the middle and half the tortilla is falling a part since its cut lol.
