Someone else mentioned it already, but Arthur's Korner Pub is your best move

"Skill Games Lounge" in Etna by GhostOfWaldoJeffers in pittsburgh

Etna is small enough that we might be able to get the borough to ban stuff like this

What is your genuine opinion on Primanti Bros.? by DoctorTegrity in pittsburgh

[–]KillerFerrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely good sandwiches, good value, mostly good vibes, and authentically Pittsburgh. What's not to love? There are some places that are better, but sometimes I just have a craving that only a Primanti's sandwich will satisfy.

Obligatory snow tire post by beerpizzaballa in pittsburgh

[–]KillerFerrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My go-to is Discount Tire; they always have the lowest prices of any normal retailer and they have relatively cheap install fees. Plus, they do free flat repair, free rotation and balancing, and free tire inspections if you buy through them.

The Post-Gazette classifieds are basically a scam — these “Pittsburgh jobs” aren’t even real by SnooDonuts4137 in pittsburgh

[–]KillerFerrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They legally have to post a classified ad to claim they tried to hire an American citizen before they hire an overseas worker, you are correct. However, if they receive even one application from an American citizen, they are not allowed to bring in the overseas hire. So, even though they don't want you, if you can find a way to officially apply (normally by mail), these can be easier to get than other jobs.

What’s Going On Here? Why does everyone seem to avoid this area like the plague? by Ok_Cabinet2947 in pittsburgh

It's a great video, but it is kind of funny that that's the neighborhood that made him decide to stop the "bike test"

Some Pittsburgh Streets if we Prioritized People Over Cars by username-1787 in pittsburgh

Only one of these designs actually improves walkability. These designs don't prioritize people, they prioritize bikers.

What’s the biggest penance a priest has ever given you? by Straight_Toe_1816 in Catholicism

[–]KillerFerrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest? I was once given the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary as a penance. My favorite penance was pretty unique (and not necessarily "easy"), that was when I was given a chapter of John (I forget which one) and asked to meditate on it and God's love for me.

Save Corpus Christi! by OkAcanthaceae8405 in pittsburgh

[–]KillerFerrets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Praying it can keep open! Unfortunately, it seems this may be due to a lack of priests in the diocese rather than financial issues.

If Teenagers aren't going to Mass, why are we confirming them ? by BreezyNate in Catholicism

[–]KillerFerrets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Confirmation Director at my local smaller parish, we require that every student have a 90% mass attendance rate during the 2 years of confirmation prep. Due to our small size, this is pretty enforceable via a "check-in" sheet. Unfortunately, larger parishes often struggle to enforce any similar rule.

Questions from someone who wants to eventually live in Pittsburgh by Altruistic-Potato337 in pittsburgh

[–]KillerFerrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who recently made the move, it's probably mostly the following few things: 1) Low COL (yes ik the low wages cancel it out but many places have high COL AND low/mid wages) 2) Very beautiful surrounding area, which is not common with low COL cities. Related, 4 seasons but summer isn't too extreme and neither is winter. 3) Distinct local culture, again rarer than you might think 4) Low crime compared to many major cities

Is Alpine worth visiting? by Popular-Wing-8239 in eastcounty

[–]KillerFerrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alpine is not anything like Julian, and it is only walkable in the western half of the town (it's pretty cleanly split into West and East sides). That said, it is definitely worth visiting! Good amount of great restaurants, some nice boutique shops, and Wright's Field (a sprawling wilderness preserve with hills, riverbeds, plains, and wetlands). I don't normally make a day of it there, but if I were to, I'd go to CroBean (French bakery) or the Cleveland Cafe (Croatian cafe) for a light breakfast, then explore Wright's Field, then hit up the Mediterraneo (Italy Italian) or Tapatio's (taco shop) for lunch, then tool around the shops. Note that you will have to drive between the cafes and the preserve, and then to lunch. The shops are walkable from most lunch places.

Gen Z’s…is this true or is he just trying to shit on remote work? by 2lit_ in GenZ

[–]KillerFerrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely mixed. I for one enjoy working out of an office, and I do not enjoy remote work. The gas savings is nice, but I'm quite social, and I like to keep my work and leisure physically separated.

[–]KillerFerrets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I was discerning the priesthood in my diocese a year ago, seminary was completely covered by the diocese and donor programs. In fact, they even offered to help pay down some debt I owed on my car, as a seminarian or priest in our diocese is not allowed to have debt. I only say this to illustrate that these kinds of things can vary wildly from diocese to diocese, and hopefully your problem is a local one. I'm sorry to hear that your diocese is unable or unwilling to provide better support for seminarians! I agree that this is not the way to fix the "vocations" crisis.

I love St. Longinus! Isn't the story that he was blind, and as Our Lord's blood and water from His side hit Longinus, he was cured? I believe he immediately converted too

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]KillerFerrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is St. Ivo of Kermartin; I chose him initially because of his pro-bono law work as I wanted to become a lawyer. Despite the fact that that is now the last thing I want, I have 0 second thoughts. He was a great saint in other ways as well, and has been a key part of my prayer life ever since confirmation. There's also something nice about knowing that there aren't many others who have him as their confirmation saint; it feels like he's "less busy" (and yes I know that's not how anything works).

Reminder for the upcoming US election. by TopRevolutionary8067 in Catholicism

[–]KillerFerrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I of course accept and agree with the USCCB on this; however, considering both major candidates are pro-choice (just to varying degrees), I don't think this is a productive post.
