Any fun team-building ideas for a group of 9?

All there’s left of my party is a collection of vacuous bumper sticker slogans like ‘lock her up’, peddling conspiracy theories, and chest-thumping support for ‘law and order’ — without actually respecting the law, norms of governance and our institutions.

My dog keeps licking his paws. We think its because of all the salt on the ground from the snow, but getting worried his feet hurt. I am not sure he will like it if we get him shoes, what do y’all think?

Moderators/managers for virtual communities actually have a pretty difficult job because the rules for posting have to be interpreted, there are very few hard and fast absolutes in this profession

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Anyone else struggle immensely with the lack of sunlight this time of year? Been an issue my whole life growing up in New England, but working FT and remotely have only exacerbated it :/

Selling 2 tickets to Billy Joel at Notre Dame Stadium for this Saturday June 25th at 8pm. Please dm me for details!

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?

I have zero clue where to ask this question so I am going to try here - WHAT is with the tree at Daley Center Plaza near the NW corner of Dearborn and Washington that is always just absolutely covered in birds. Like thousands of birds. Does anyone else know what I am talking about or am I losing it?

Hi 🐠 🐟!
I made solo reservations for Ever and Oriole in early October for Nov 4th and 5th. It's looking pretty dire that I'll be able to get in. Did anyone make a reservation at a Chicago Michelin restaurant and have someone drop out at the last minute? I would love to take their spot.

Thanks in advance!

Any good grief counseling in Chicago or remote? My dad has late stage cancer and is dying. Need help to process this.
