Lyft stopped working but uber worked, thanks all!

If you pick him up be sure to have his boarding pass and and ID for his essential work if possible. Be safe!

I think the curfew is mainly to prevent people from gathering at night outdoors. In a car you *should* be ok but there is a risk you could get pulled over

It looks like uber is still working, tho who knows what the wait is to get a car. Hopefully that could be an option for your brother so you can stay safely at home.

Nope, if you’re in the downtown area your ID will be checked to get in or out to prove you live or work there. There were a few police checkpoints on Division this afternoon.

Do not try to get in or out of the city today. I drove back from out of town and getting onto my street was a shit show w police checking IDs every block. He should stay by the Airport or try to get a cab. Hope he isn’t trying to get anywhere between North ave and 18th st.

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
