Hi all, I'm moving to Chicago from Florida soon and I'm looking at apartments next week. I keep seeing this same company that has properties on various streets and they're all called "Onyx on [Road Name]".

The units look nice in photos and floor plans and they're perfectly in my price range. Though, I feel like the websites are lacking info and the initial "agent" you speak to is AI. I finally called one of the locations to set up a tour and the Real Human who answered said I should just arrive and ask to see a unit.

Just curious if anyone lives/lived at any of these properties and has any insights on the management and amenities.

Much appreciated!

And other stuff too such as I would also like to eat a girl out. I have never done it before but oh girl it sure does turn me on just thinking about it. Anyway. Give me your tips and maybe soon I’ll get to try them.

We had been together for 2.5 years. I really did love him but I realized that I loved him as a friend. I identified as bisexual since I was 14 but it finally dawned on me that I was just a lesbian. I didn’t like having sex with men ever and it gave me such anxiety, and when my boyfriend discussed marriage I felt fear at the thought of being with a man forever.

We’ve currently decided to remain friends because we love to talk to each other. I don’t know what to do or think right now. I’m very proud of myself because it was so hard for me to get it out. I will miss him but I’m hoping we can remain close.

I’d love some support and encouraging words, if anyone has any to give.

I think I’m a lesbian. I’ve identified as bi since I was 14 because I’ve definitely always liked women but now I’m thinking I’ve only ever liked men because I was conditioned to do so. I do not like having sex with men, even men who care about my needs in bed. I do not like having conversations with men.

I have a boyfriend of 2.5 years, and I’ve been realizing over the last few months that I think I’m just a lesbian. I think I want to tell him an end things. I love him so much but I think I just love him as a best friend. He’s the sweetest but I just don’t think I’ll ever fully be happy. Aside from my gay awakening, our relationship has been stale for months. I don’t want to lose him as a friend, and I think he’ll take it well. It’s just scary.

Over the years I’ve been replacing my items with reusable or plastic free options where I can as I run out of things.

I am a regular q-tip user. I pretty much only use them in my ears after a shower. I know you’re not supposed to do that - but you could start a candle factory with what comes out of my ears.

I usually opt for the q-tips that have a paper stick rather than a plastic, but they still come wrapped in plastic. I’ve just run out of q-tips and I’m wondering if there’s another alternative. I’ve always wondered if the Last Swab is actually worth it or if it’s just a product of green washing. If I buy it, will I end up with an item that will last and serve me my entire life, or will I be left with another piece of consumerist trash.

Also open to suggestions of other eco-friendly ear-cleaning solutions.

I’ve realized I have 3 songs in my library that tell tales of the musicians’ life on tour, playing music, never having a solid home but only having their music, missing family and friends while pursuing their dream. So naturally I need to make a playlist with those 3 songs and others. Any recommendations? Open to any genre, as well as any vibe (excited, melancholy, sad).

The 3 songs I have are:

The Beginning of the End by Billy Strings

American Dreaming by Sierra Ferrell

You Know It by Colony House
