i found another one of these places that’s €3.6 the hour and it’s very pretty. i’ll document my experience when I visit tomorrow. for some reason I can’t ever focus at home and I really need to study for this long exam so I’ll invest it and I’ll also take it as an opportunity to observe what’s even the point of these places aside from being quiet enough for students (which libraries are for). i guess the appeal for me is that they have free coffee and food, but idk!!

I’m a new student at Depaul and have spent a surprisingly short amount time searching for the best place to chill, get caffeine too late at night, and do some homework. I spent some time surfing google, yelp, reddit, random blogs, and other sources, to find a cafe that closed after 7. It was a bit hard because Chicago is a city that DEFINITELY sleeps. One day I skipped class because I just wasn’t feeling it… took the train to a new rec, and found one of my favorite places ever. Ritual Coffeehouse basically directly underneath the brown line Irving Park stop. Best chai in the city, random amazing baked goods (if you catch them!) and an overwhelming collection of vinyls, so you never hear the same song twice here. Great vibe to hang with friends, focus and get work done, or to sip a latte and performatively read feminist literature hoping to meet your new match. It also doesnt hurt to mention they‘re cozy and green patio, for when there’s too much going on inside, or it’s just too nice outside to let it pass you by. Love this place so so much. VISIT HERRRR.

i genuinely don’t understand the need for an “assistant“ in every app now, it reminds me of how social media apps would copy each other to death, fighting to become the most popular one. remember when ig copied snapchat stories, or threads as the new twitter, the new be-real-like feature on ig, etc…?? except it’s even worse with this. people keep tagging freaking grok everywhere for nonsense on twt, there’s meta AI in every meta app, and now idk if they made Siri function with AI tech (i looked it up and there wasn’t a definite answer, but if anyone knows please tell me!!!). my obvious biggest concern is the environment, while the rise of anti-intellectualism is also at bay. i’m also tired of my university profs pushing AI onto me in an effort of trying to seem more modern. genuinely, i don’t think there’s anything that pisses me off more than chatgpt.
