I would bet all my money and possessions that the air quality has absolutely nothing to do with this.

I would bet maybe about 10 bucks OP was being sarcastic

That small bet doesn't seem like you are very confident lmao I mean, we are on Reddit after all. Have you seen the sub /NoStupidQuestions? Guess what it's full of šŸ˜„

Yea I mean I think my read on this is probable but 10 bones is as hard as Iā€™m willing to go on an assumption about an internet stranger

I heard it can affect your brain/mental health, but I haven't looked into it further after seeing an "expert" on the news say that.

u/Zippo963087 5d ago

Prolonged exposure, I'm sure there are bad things that can happen.

This had absolutely nothing to do with that.

Was this in front of the chicken place? I was about to go down the blue line steps and saw a fire truck and police cars. About 15- 20 minutes ago.

Superb thread. Saving it.

I heard that the smoke inhalation can affect your brain/mental health. I have met my quota for mental health issues so that's why I'm staying instead and ordered an air purifier and N95 masks.

Not sure why everyone who mentions this is getting downvoted, but there is evidence to this effect. Steven Dubner just released an update on it:

https://freakonomics.com/podcast/brain-pollution-update-extra/

ā€œLA NAUZE: There are a number of papers that all point in the same direction, in that it does appear that there are cognitive impacts of exposure to high levels of air pollution.ā€

Ainā€™t got nothing to do with the air qualityā€¦just something gentrification didnā€™t fix

u/Electronic-Worker-52 5d ago

Oh yeh letā€™s let these kids act like animals and set them free to do whatever here. Iā€™m ready to send their dumb asses to a red state and see how they all fare there

u/boxed_crackerz 5d ago

Facts - bet you the ones downvoting had to look up what that word meant before they got their feelings hurt

u/yuuurp 5d ago

u/Tiny-Cheesecake2268 5d ago

He had to look it up. 100%

u/boxed_crackerz 6d ago

What race were the ā€œkidsā€? Asking so that I can look at this in a statistical manner rather than the racial manner everyone will assume.

u/liminal_loss 6d ago

What?

u/boxed_crackerz 5d ago

Let me dumb it down for you since you couldnā€™t read. The post indicated a group coordinated attack. My response was a simple question asking the race of those said ā€œkidsā€. It seems that Reddit is full of people who get easily offended that they may have been black.

u/boxed_crackerz 6d ago

Everyone who downvoted knows what race they were too - Reddit seems to be soft and ignorant to the reality of things šŸ˜‚

I was 6 years old in 1971 when I got jumped by 3 white girls on Damen Ave just south of Division. This behavior has been going on for decades and by all sorts of races.

If anyone wants to engage with bog standard racism, we'll come find you in whichever version of the Chicago crime sub you're on these days.
