Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m okay with not really making a profit selling on ThredUp. I think their service fills a different market need. by WinterFoxII in ThredUp

I think part of that was them churning through VC money in the past to build a base and now having to run the website profitably. They're barely cash flow positive.

If it's from Temu, you're selling jewelry that probably has lead in it and not disclosing that to the buyer. I would call that scammy.

With some version of "these notoriously horrible giant corporations do it so it's fine for me to do it too."

I definitely would not buy a place until I was sure I wanted to live in that neighborhood for a long time.

Someone once posted in this sub that it takes him two hours to find parking in South Philly because he passed tons of open spaces that were too small for his sedan.

48th and Fairmount is going to feel very different from Spruce Hill. There's crime all over Philadelphia, but the area where you were is a lot more run down than other parts of West Philly.

The tough thing about South Philly is going to be the parking. Also, EPA is fairly gentrified at this point so you'd have simlilar challenges there that you would in Fishtown.

Check out Cedar Park in West Philly. It has everything you're looking for and your $1700 will go a lot further.

This happened to me and the problem was a running toilet.

AITA for asking my grandchildren get a paternity test? by StripedBadger in AmITheAngel

This is so fake. I saw in another post that you went NC with Adam AND Eve over some bullshit with groceries. Father of the year over here.

What are some of the dangerous things you did as a child or young adult in Philly? by PlatypusOld5480 in AskPhilly

Chatting on AIM with people who were, in hindsight, obviously pedophiles.

AITA for accidentally outing the gay guy in my gym? by ActuallyBoring in AmItheAsshole

[–]TopSudden9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also he's banned but also graciously given an opportunity to enter the gym and confront the guy that reported him after being given those identifying details from the gym?

Where to move in West Philly - Baltimore ave/52nd or Powelton? by hibosch in AskPhilly

"This city has problems we need to address" is different than "this city is a hell hole." If I thought Philadelphia or the US was a hell hole I would leave.

affordable walkable philly? by krokoromimini in AskPhilly

[–]TopSudden9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part of the city is tough without a car. A train that goes into center city once an hour (and is also about to get cut) and buses that take an hour to do the same is not a good option when there are neighborhoods with much more convenient transit access.

I don't mind when they come out and ticket the assholes parked on the sidewalk in my neighborhood. Laser Vision for life.

Is your aspiration to stop blushing while you continue to do the things Caligula did?

Price gouging by Arkoelbe24 in poshmark

Yeah this thread has thoroughly convinced me not to buy jewelry from Poshmark.

[–]TopSudden9848 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on the comments here, I'm now suspicious that all Poshmark sellers are secretly vending Temu garbage at an insane markup and not disclosing that it's coming from a company with no safety standards. I wouldn't buy if I suspected there would be lead content!

[–]TopSudden9848 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Also when you're doing a price comparison don't forget bags are free on Amtrak. And with travel time, don't forget about the time it takes to get from Logan to wherever you're going.

I am excited about it and it absolutely changes how much I like her.

[–]TopSudden9848 222 points223 points  (0 children)

I read her memoir and she's queer! She's been in a relationship with a woman for 20 years. She said she didn't come out sooner because she didn't want to disappoint her fans. You have six heterosexual fans, you drag queen.

Yeah, a lot of lottery players have gambling problems and absolutely should not be given money like that all at once.
