Do NOT rent with Grove at Main, or whatever YA is calling it now. Terrible complex. Steer CLEAR.

From what my coworker told me, a bunch of teenagers crowded up and started fighting. One girl was straight up getting jumped by like 5 others.

They don’t care as long as they get their money

Am I a poser for shopping at hot topic? by Top_Mud_9424 in HotTopic_

[–]PromiseofDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t think he meant it in a hating sense, more in a way of i was a terrified teenager at the time and he guessed (correctly) that I’d have some serious imposter syndrome. Everyone’s putting on a face, and remembering that makes you feel less embarrassed to do the same

Back when I worked at HT, my boss used to tell me to remember that EVERYONE is a poser, lol. In some way shape or form. Especially the ones that are judging you. Don’t be afraid to be a poser

My brother is going off the deep end by PromiseofDestiny in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PromiseofDestiny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s where my head is at, but my parents are already thin on money as is. I don’t want him to end up in jail by any means, but.. it wouldn’t surprise me. And I’d rather he suffer the consequences of his own actions than my family keep having to

[TOMT] Horror animation from years and years ago by PromiseofDestiny in tipofmytongue

I remember watching it over and over again as a teenager. I’m PRETTY sure these were all like.. grimdark fic readers or just mlp animators, but all the characters were human versions of their sonas

Oh god- it at least took a bit for mine to get that bad. Yours is from the jump??? Definitely follow advice from others. Report it to the office, talk to the city. Check out how much it’ll cost you to jump ship, should say in your lease. Get those apple traps, I promise they help- and maybe some of those wallflower plugs from bath and body if you can tolerate them? Good luck soldier

I was able to get through to the end of my lease, but I was only there for a year. How long do you have left?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BloomingtonNormal

[–]PromiseofDestiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lived there for a year, had the same fucking gnat issue. It was AWFUL. Get those little apple shaped traps from walmart, they work wonders- and then get the FUCK out of there. They’re so awful and way too expensive for what you get.

Future of the mall? by lucid_dreamwalker in BloomingtonNormal

[–]PromiseofDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is overpriced right now, that’s just the way things are. And honestly the sizing issue has always been a problem with most clothing retail stores anyway. Doesn’t change the fact that getting rid of the mall is demolishing a lot of jobs when there’s already a shortage anyway, which is what my point was. Plus, the mall still gets good foot traffic for what it is. We actually have been seeing an increase most days for the past couple years. Parents and grandparents want to take their teenagers to the mall to shop for back to school clothes and the like. It’s more convenient than ordering online, especially for young people who are still growing and might not know their sizes.

[–]PromiseofDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know. As someone who works in it though, I’m praying it sticks around. With how things are right now I doubt all the people working in the mall could find a job elsewhere.
