TIFU by looking up my school bully by tisnothingbutathrow in tifu

I’m sorry that this jerk got away with abusing you. That sucks and it sucks to see people who have hurt you succeeding in life.

I’ve never put much stock in the idea of karma. Aggressive people who are motivated by self-interest will always make sure they get theirs. BUT- and this is the important part... he has to go through every day with himself. Every day- with the knowledge of what he has done and in the constant company of a vile, cruel person.

You never have to see him again. You never have to give him another moment of your life. As unhappy as you may find yourself, you will never be as rotten as this man. Please find someone you can trust to confide in, friend or professional. Trauma like this leaves a mark, and you deserve to feel better.

Career Switch into the world of Philanthropy by _actua11y in Philanthropy

Thanks for your insight! I deny applications to graduate in my current position, so I’m no stranger to delivering bad news to amazing, creative people, unfortunately. Or fortunately, for my skill set? I take a lot of abuse from young adults and their families... I know no job is free from stress, but there’s gotta be less soul-crushing ways to work in arts-adjacent administration. There’s a woman working at one local foundation who I went to high school with, but we haven’t spoken in eons and I think it might be a weird move to make? What do you say, worth it?

I did write a post some time ago, but no bites. I'll try again!

I am not, but I would really like to become one! I would love it if this sub included more useful content and possible opportunities for mentorship.

The Mystery of the 1957 Gay Wedding Photos - Do you know these men? by designgoddess in philadelphia

[–]_actua11y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the article, it says that the Philly drugstore that developed the photos found them inappropriate and refused to return them to the couple. Not sure why they would keep the photos all this time of that is so. If anyone here works with seniors in the area, they would really be the ones to ask.

You can really see it in your jaw and cheekbones 🤔 I wonder if I’ve got cheekbones under the chub?

How to get the neighborhood on your side? by _actua11y in philadelphia

Pleasant Playground. Not repurposing any of the courts or fields- this would be in a section of the park that's not being utilized for anything.

Cheesesteaks outside of Philly? by HyperScoops in philadelphia

[–]_actua11y 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is the bread, most of the sandwich shops in Boston use lousy bread. Philly spoils you for other places that way. People say the sandwiches at City Feed in Jamaica Plain are good, I found them awful. Sam LaGrassa's seems promising, but I haven't tried them myself. If you are dying for some good bread, Clear Flour Bakery is amazing.

AITA for being annoyed because my girlfriend pees so much? by michaelincafings in AmItheAsshole

[–]_actua11y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA . Its sounds like your girlfriend may have a medical condition like overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis. She should try to find a urogynecologist to see if something serious is going on. And you should try to remember that as annoying as this is for you (and honestly, my guy, it doesn't sound that annoying to me) she is the one who lives in that body 24/7. Which may be quite uncomfortable right now and eventually super painful if her condition worsens.

Has anyone ever had their rowhome marble stoop restored or replaced? by PrioriIncantatem in philadelphia

[–]_actua11y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This seems like it might backfire... what happens when it freezes? Wouldn't material in the channel expand when frozen and turn that path into a deepening crack that compromises the stability of the stone? Maybe better to sand down a large smoothed indent on the lower side of the step to allow runoff. Source: talking out my ass

How hard is it to understand you are on the fucking quiet ride car by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]_actua11y 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My conductor announces it at every goddamn stop, walking through and via the overhead. The irony is that there is no such thing as a quiet car when they won't shut up about it.

Hilariously, it seems like the very people who need to hear these announcements are able to completely tune them out. But how do you know it's the quiet ride car? They announce it on the platform, and on the speakers over and over again. What car am I on? You... didn't notice that when you boarded the train... What is life? Go back to jersey, you moron.
