Love seeing older ladies in here! Mine isn’t this old yet but love my lady cat as she starts to get a little older and wiser.

 

See a lot of people floating in from Reddit. Welcome!

Make use of the space and try to keep things civil and at least related to Chicago. If you liked the vibe of /r/Chicago, feel free to emulate that here as well, and please leave feedback so we can make this place useful and welcoming to everyone!

When you say car camp, do you mean like in an RV? Or "glamping"?

If it is just the essense of travelling and sleeping with minimal stuff in your car, then there are some places up in Manistee National Forest where I have done exactly that as well.

Seems like this is a great spot based on the suggestions! Will definitely consider a trip out there this year then.

I don't mind memes and stuff like that at all. I would agree with @[email protected], once the memes and stuff get out of hand it can start to drown out useful conversation.

I say post and let people decide what they want to see. If we see some backlash then we can start to reign things in or modify as needed. "Meme Mondays" or something of the sort is a good, contained way to still have them be present.

I would have to agree. All the wilderness that is out there along with changing environments and terrain really makes for some amazing scenery as well as places for wildlife to really blossom.

Same here. My wife has seen/known about him for a while and was heartbroken hearing what happened to him.

Small time shop on the south side called Robust is very good. Or if you are up north then Wormhole is also a good choice.

 

Been all over Michigan and love their camping locations!

Anyone want to share their favorites if they don't mind? Been camping in the western portion near Manistee and also all the way east near the border, to up in the UP. So no where is too far!

Love it! Even though I am not from there they play a big influence in the midwest area, and are one of the nicer areas for camping I have found so I go there often.

Would love to see input on info from the area from locals so hopefully they also join.

You'd think with all the money they get from lobbying and fundraising they could just pay one competent person with a gun to write their legislation properly. People sell their souls against what they love all the time for a huge wad of cash lol

Is it just me, or does the change in the clarifications for this just seem like common sense and something they should have been addressing the first time around if they actually understood the gun industry?

This is in relation to the Chicago /c/? If so, may still be posting some things that can be seen as political but mostly to keep people informed.

An example would be something like the Chuy Garcia post of mine, since the FTX scandal was pretty large and it is interesting to know that it is tied back to our city somehow.

But feel free to post any content you would like as well!

Have you reached out to anyone else who runs a Lemmy server and seen if they are also experiencing this?

Do you think it is a bottlekneck or just due to large updates from other servers?
