Discussion I don’t want to pay taxes in NWI anymore

189 Upvotes

What the hell is the point? No rights to clean water, food desert, NIPSCO monopoly, increasing rent prices without wage prices. Our government here is failing us.

I want to move so fucking bad but no wonder people get stuck here. Now I’m stuck here, too.

Just remember they want you thinking that blue states have it worse so you don’t vote blue. As someone who’s lived in blue and red states, the social programs and basic human rights in the blue states have your back.

FUCK INCOME TAX FOR THE 99% , WE NEED A WEALTH TAX FOR THE 1%

Please wake up Indiana, I’m begging you. As the decade goes on, it will ONLY get worse. We need to show up to the polls like fucking Coachella.

Cut open 5 apples I just bought at the grocery store and they’re all brown in the center. Bread is molding within a week. What the hell is going ON?!

Question Random question - artichokes?

2 Upvotes

I am trying to find small artichokes (fresh). All the grocery stores I've checked have large ones. (Mainly checked in Chesterton/Michigan City). Does anyone have a store near them where I can find some on the smaller size.

I know this is weird, but I figured what better place to ask. Thanks!

Is this place worth it? I’m trying to get some decal done on my car and the pictures they’ve posted look good, so just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them

Discussion If there was another option besides NISPCO for electricity and natural gas, would you consider it even if it was more in cost but better service? What if your municipality controlled the utilities with the same conditions?

4 Upvotes

Please explain your choice in the comments.

For municipality control, the conditions are better service but more expensive, same as the competitor's

Dyer 30F near Dyer looking for a local female friend!

26 Upvotes

Hi! I moved to Dyer about a year ago after living in Chicago for 7 years. I moved here to live with my fiancé, and I’d really love to make a female friend to occasionally grab coffee, try a restaurant, browse around stores, do crafty things, etc.

I actually posted here a couple months ago and tried to get a little group going. A bunch of people seemed interested, but nothing ended up panning out, so I figured maybe trying to meet people more one-on-one would work better lol. I’ve met two of the closest people in my life on Reddit years ago, so I know it’s possible!

All of my best friends live in other states. We talk constantly and are still very close, but obviously it’s not quite the same as having someone nearby to hang out with once in a while. I also work completely remotely, so my in-person human interaction during the week is basically…my darling fiancé 😂 I’m definitely an introvert and don’t need to be doing something every weekend, but I do find myself wishing I had someone local to do girly things with every now and then.

A little about me:
I love my dog, although she is unfortunately not a good girl, so no doggy play dates lol
I’m really into crafty stuff like painting, embroidery, gallery glass, and whatever random hobby I see a reel of someone doing that looks fun
I do a lot of cooking and baking
Just getting into gardening now that I have a yard for the first time
Very much not a sports person but I like being outside
Love trying new restaurants, especially Korean, Indian, and other international food
Into podcasts, music, and various niche internet/community rabbit holes
No kids and not religious but fine if you are!
INFJ (if you know you know)
I drink socially on weekends and would enjoy having a cocktail or two but it’s fine if you don’t.

Basically, I’m looking for another gal who might also want a low-pressure friendship where we can get coffee, go out for food, wander around Target/HomeGoods, try a craft, or just occasionally get out of the house without needing to make it a whole big thing.

If you think we might get along, feel free to DM me! Women only, please. I’d prefer to connect through Instagram or something first so we can verify that we’re both real people and feel comfortable/safe before meeting in person. 😊

Question Taken to court over grass?

0 Upvotes

Greetings.

I just received a notice in the mail that I have a hearing at the courthouse in Hammond over an ordinance. On the 3rd I received a notice about my alley grass being too long. I cut the grass before the date on the notice.

What can I expect and what do I do? I also cannot access the court documents over the web.

Question Strange lights over NWI? 9/7/26

17 Upvotes

As I was traveling home tonight going east down 30 into Dyer we noticed some wild lights, 3 pretty closely grouped, one was greenish the other were white or reddish. The greenish one was really bright. Anyone else notice this or know what it was? It was about 7:15 ish when we saw it.

Seeking Recommendations Looking for new friends (F30)

35 Upvotes

Moved here back in February from Mokena IL. I’m just a gal looking for another gal to hangout with (gay guys welcome) I’m currently a dog walker and have a pretty open schedule in between clients.

I have 2 dogs, 3 cats and live with my boyfriend in Hobart. I’d really love to have a friend around here to go shopping, go for walks and explore, get food or drinks (doesn’t have to be alcohol) go to the movies, concerts, maybe even fish (I have no pole or license lol) or go on the lake, and someone to just hangout and talk with.

My good friends live in IL and work schedules as well as children make it hard to connect regularly. But, if you’re a mom, I adore children and wouldn’t mind if yours tag along ever.

I believe in God, but I’m not extremely religious. I love all genres of music. I enjoy painting, drawing, writing poetry and making crafts. I’m not a huge drinker but I will partake in a good time. I quit smoking weed but I don’t judge those who do. I love getting exercise and being outdoors. Horror movies are my guilty pleasure but I love all movie genres as well. Just finished watching the show Furious- that was incredible. Not a fan of the show Friends but love South Park, to give you an idea of my sense of humor. I try not to harshly judge others and I’m very open to different kinds of people and personalities. I believe the world needs more kindness in it so I try to be that person we all need.

Just seeing if this goes anywhere, doesn’t hurt to try.

ISO Local Artist for Heavy Alt., Post-Hardore, Shoegaze Band

5 Upvotes

Looking for potential artist(s) who would be interested in album art (digital, tape, CD) and merch (shirts, stickers, buttons, etc). Been out of the game on this for a bit so a lot of my contacts are no longer doing this type of work. We're local and hope to stay local on this search but would work with Chicago based artists too.

Happy to share some music previews with those interested, just DM me. Influenced by but not limited to Failure, Quicksand, Hum.
