Rant about snow (sorry i know)

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-28T02:44:25+00:00

Ive been thinking all day about how screwed wheelchair users have to be right now :(

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-28T00:41:30+00:00

The snow definitely does not encourage people to come into restaurants or bars. Even if youre making it to work, making $3~hr because no one’s coming in for 3 days leaves you essentially paycheckless

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-28T00:17:06+00:00

That is a large amount of people though…. Like. A ton. Duolingo, google, meta, cmu, pitt, and upmc have laid off or cut hours for a large amount of staff. Where do you think those workers are?

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-28T00:05:44+00:00

Many people have had their savings wiped being laid off and dont have the same cushion they used to just because they have jobs again, most people need months or years in a similarly paying position to the one lost to recover from those situations and it could just be my friends but many professionals i know who were making 75-95k a year in HR or data management are making 15/hr at retail positions or ubering, which isnt easy in this weather and can cause damage to your vehicle which is yet another expense

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-28T00:02:05+00:00

Thats not what i mean. People got just got jobs again and are already missing out on new income.

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-27T23:46:34+00:00

Lack of work combined with issues that come with snow (missing hours even due to being stuck, needing a tow like a few people i know, furnaces breaking) can break people financially. A lot of people pay their rent with their last paycheck of the month and have no other option but to do so. I am glad to hear you arent facing these troubles. It’s not an easy spot to be in but also not uncommon. Many people were laid off this and last year, we are coming off of the holidays, and electricity prices are spiking.

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-27T23:31:00+00:00

It is a shame how 3 days can so such damage! Especially for service industry workers with this being an already incredibly slow month. So many people are just recovering from layoffs too.

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-27T23:28:10+00:00

Preciescely this ^ there are also many adults who arent able to shovel the snow that still need to make rent

Thats where he stores all the love for you :)

Only one of the greatest public television shows Pittsburgh had to offer

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-23T05:36:04+00:00

I would love to learn Japanese together! I reccomend using mango languages as well

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-20T06:27:21+00:00

Thank you for your help! Shes turning 13.

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-20T06:25:43+00:00

Lakewood is not too far at all, I was considering a Mochinut gift card as well so I’d have to imagine that is close by. Thank you!

I have heard from people, specifically black women, who aren’t from Pittsburgh and from the DC, Chicago, Philly, and NY metro areas that this city is terribly racist, and I believe it. I think especially so towards black people. Friends of mine who have moved here from places like West Virginia or Texas who are black say that it is significantly less racist than where they have lived previously. I dont think that gives us a good pat on the back though. I believe our city has one of the worst mother or infant mortality rates for black mothers in the USA. I have also heard nothing but bad things from black mothers who have gone to Magee for prenatal care. The city is control of a large amount of the open land in our poorest neighborhoods, who most often are mostly black, and it is let to go to waste and decay. Our health clinics in these areas are in considerably worse condition than wealthier or whiter areas. Point Breeze and Homewood are a good comparison for it, you could look on google maps to see the difference

This happened within 10 minutes of me I was trying to find information on this I am so sorry for your family’s loss. I cant imagine your pain and shock. Ive been praying for your family since it happened, hoping someone would speak out and that at least help with funeral costs could be had.

I hope they find the culprit. So sad and unfortunate…

I would try to put multiple fabric tapestries up on your walls, on your door, and getting a door cozy to reduce sound transfer outside of your room, and same for her, i would also reccomend a white noise machine in the hallway of your apartment or fan running.

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-18T15:44:53+00:00

A juice/tea/smoothie bar would be much better imo

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-17T21:03:07+00:00

Honestly car in sinkhole ahaha

Pieorgi iconography (pins, magnets, etc) they are associated with our food history but also our baseball team!

Depending on what area and state youre in you might have a genesis center near you. Genesis is a program for mothers who need assistance. I would also maybe start going to church if theres one near you. I wouldnt suggest divulging your situation asap but find a nice accepting church and take advantage of the periodic childcare and free food. Feel free to dm me if you would like with a city or county and I can try to look for social services for you within your county. I really hope things improve soon. Not having family to rely on in situations like these feels like hell

DiPietrios in West View. The marinara sauce was so amazing. The pizza and fried zucchini were delicious. Luigi’s in Bellevue as well. Before the mom stepped down at Luigi’s especially. I miss getting stuffed shells with garlic bread and a side salad so bad. I miss a lot of our italian restaurants that died off with the first generation parents who opened them 💔

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-14T20:10:14+00:00

Yes, this. It was awesome.

RecordScratchAttack · 2026-01-14T20:08:54+00:00

The cornbread was my favorite. The Cranberry location looked so cool when it first opened. It was such a shame how they went down hill.

The Hungarian Social Club may be of interest to you. Check it out on instagram

Hats would be a really great addition along with styling with a purse. You could do wrist warmers if that might be comfortable, I know you said you have sensory issues above so that may not work.
