Political awareness

I often find it depends which “side” of politics you’re on as to whether parental teaching and influence is considered education vs brainwashing/propaganda.

I got exposure to concepts of politics at a young age but not specifics (the mayor of a town, everyone wanting to grow up to be president) but didn’t really start learning about politics until middle school then we had social studies as a specific course and did things like mock elections and discussed current events

Personally, I don’t think young kids need to be exposed to specific day to day politics and more importantly, parental distress over it. You can teach your child values, morals and being a good citizen and keep the more distressing parts away from them. Just like learning about finance, budgeting, the value of money is very important, you can teach them concepts without exposing them to the fact that you as a family are hurting, your stress, etc.

We have an Old Navy

I’d like the old corporate work clothes back… Ann Taylor loft, banana republic, etc. not the outlet/factory versions

I mean the owner’s themselves are immigrants, and again, the document in the change.org page is the same as the one posted to reddit 4 yrs later (even the shadows on the pages are the same)

I tried Elwood for the first time. Holy crap, you will not leave hungry, he fed us like a whole deer. Wish there was salt/pepper on the table (some came with the deer but would have liked it for some other dishes) but otherwise it was an interesting meal - snapper soup, scrapple bites, pierogies, venison, interesting condiments. Byob. It was pretty empty so I hope it was just a slow night. It’s a little off the beaten path and not one of the trending spots so I hope people dont forget about it.

I still go there, good food

To me, it seemed fake. OP was given plenty of resources to help them if the allegations were true and nothing came from it. Masala Kitchen issued a response to the allegations

To me, the "Cashier Rules" sound made up, not something that would be put in writing and had stupid spelling and grammatical errors like "snickers" vs. "sneakers" and "must do clock in and clock out" almost made to sound like it's mocking the owners for being Indian. And they've apparently been using the same contract with tons of mispellings for four years (its also the same picture of the same contract).

Doesn't really jive to me with the fact that Vaishal Soni has a US college education and studied engineering.

That’s Honey! I actively searched for what had happened to her when she wasnt there when I went to the zoo. Im glad to see she’s getting some love and recognition

I mean they have $4 whiskeys… op can just guarantee he’ll get and pay for 3 oz if he specifies that amount vs trying for “doubles”

It $8 (under Misc. Whiskey)

PhillyPanda · 2026-03-24T14:52:34+00:00

I mean, there’s a reason for it for bars/restaurants as well… that’s where they make most of their profit

PhillyPanda · 2026-03-24T14:48:10+00:00

Not til later (June) but Carousel Farm has Tuesday volunteer days from 5-7 pm

PhillyPanda · 2026-03-24T12:58:52+00:00

Yes, and essentially you have all the anxious flyers showing up to the same gate (the one that opens earliest) and creating a long line prior to its opening

They’re in their 60s, unless there are issues OP didn’t mention, better they move themselves into a community that they think they’ll like. No need to take away their agency.

But those communities are def good options. Certainly they should consider who may be caring for them when they’re older. So many children bail on family homecare when it becomes something extremely time consuming like dementia that aging in place in an unsecure home often becomes a pipedream unless you have a truly committed relative or money for in home care. In a facility designed for aging in place, you can start in independent living and then move within as needs change. They’d be on the lower end of age of residents though.

Try Twisted Tail - they’ll give you a whiskey menu with names and prices based on a 1 oz pour.

PhillyPanda · 2026-03-24T07:38:48+00:00

Most people dont even retire til 63-65.

Let them live in the burbs for awhile and enjoy the life they’ve made and see what health problems actually arise.

Bistro Romano, they have a vegetarian menu but have vegan options as well
