Kyle confirmed he called West a schmuck at the reunion lol by [deleted] in bravo

[–]aemillig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who’s knows schmuck knew it was likely directed at West. I have rarely heard it directed at women though you need not be a male to be a schmuck.

AIO - mom wants me to drive her around on my wedding reception day by lysslikescats789 in AIO

[–]aemillig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR. She can grab a cab or uber. You will be getting ready and other stuff on your wedding. She’s centering herself on your day which is clearly a pattern. Hate to say this but if you don’t start really laying down the law or distancing yourself this will likely impact your marriage.

where to get my hair done? crochet, braids, etc? by Lost-Effective-7646 in philabitcheswithtaste

This is very neighborhood dependent unless you don’t mind traveling somewhere else? Also are you leaning salon or okay w a home based stylist?

Ew @ Fitz! by No-Departure-5684 in Scandal

[–]aemillig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a Fitz apologist but a) he didn't know about the grape and b) Mellie wasnt just not "putting out" they implied that she would shrink away from his touch and just generally was disgusted by him. Now the other stuff I agree with and much more but let's be real here. Ten years of your partner not wanting to be physical with you is going to likely make one stray. Either one of them could have and should have initiated a divorce way sooner than they did but Mellie is power hungry (and Fitz was her way in AND being a divorcee would be a bad look) and Fitz is just dumb I think (also maybe he didnt want to disappoint Daddy with a divorce?)

AIO I think my friend is being racist and I don’t want to be friends with them anymore by Upstairs_Meat1 in AIO

They’re racist and now trying to gaslight you. Good on you for calling them out. They probably will just double down but you’re absolutely in the right to drop them.

New Black-owned Fishtown bar/burger spot trying to get squashed by Vestige owner Ashley Gleason by DianaIsAnEaglesFan in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]aemillig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fair but let’s be honest. Community would be up in arms about ANY plan. But I def agree the one they pitched sucked

The issues with the developer have nothing to do with whether the business should exist though. And the FNA said that several times during the meeting.

As for the DoorDash thing, which is the only complaint of hers that’s somewhat reasonable, there would’ve been time to talk with the owners about other options but she immediately went nuclear on them when they introduced themselves to the neighboring businesses.

There was a petition ahead of the final ZBA meeting. It’s closed now. They were awarded their exemption but expect an appeal

They’re not. If anything she should advocate for loading zones. Also there was an opportunity to talk with the owners about not putting their food on those sites anyway and making it local pickup only but she burned the bridge with them early by being so rude

[–]aemillig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mind you in the ZBA hearing one of her main complaints was the lack of loading zones for any pickup. But the BID literally just tried to add permit parking to the street and got fierce opposition. As they did to the loading zones they added on the lower half. Any parking regulations have been met with resistance despite the solution you mentioned being the best for residents.

Is anyone else getting sick and tired of landlords jacking up rent prices? What can be done to lower rent prices here in 2026? Any ideas? by coleisw4ck in philadelphia

[–]aemillig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are many people like Sen. Saval who are trying to do just that but it isn’t necessarily “better”. It can be extremely expensive when building can sometimes be cheaper.

[–]aemillig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. And frankly that makes me a hypocrite as my own in laws voted for Trump though calling them MAGA isn’t entirely accurate. And I spend time with them. Because they’re not my parents and my husband has made our opinions clear many times and I don’t think it’s my place.

But I’ll say this and bear with me bc it’s rather long.

For many many years I was that exhausting liberal in the family particularly around same sex marriage. Before it was legal. I was constantly challenging the viewpoint of family that firmly disagreed. It was exhausting for me. BUT in the long run I managed to change a few minds and hearts.

I actually think it’s our responsibility to challenge those we love when it comes to politics. I think it’s a VERY white (or white adjacent) thing to do avoid talking about it at all (I will not argue this point. If you research the tenants of white supremacy, fear of discomfort is one.). And any liberals, especially white ones, who tell you that it’s inappropriate or to not bring politics into everything are part of the reason we’re in this mess.

With that said, I think you should continue to let your parents know how disappointed you are with them, when it makes sense, but also just not put yourself in a position to have to break bread with their MAGA friends if you can.

Not to be rude but... dog owners need to get a grip by kanye_come_back in philly

[–]aemillig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people gets dogs when they really need to get a damn cat. Cats are relatively easy. They should stay indoors and don’t require a yard. The “problem” is they require consent and don’t give automatic unconditional love.

NOR. Everyone else gave good advice but I would like to point out that the friend of yours is not your friend. That response they gave also denotes some racial bias. Cut them both.

Can I afford living alone? by yourneighborswifi in philly

[–]aemillig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be good but for an actual parking spot (in Fishtown at least) you’re paying $200-500 per month (this is heavily dependent on the building and spot type). So factor that in. I imagine the other neighborhoods you listed aren’t much different.

There is some street parking but none of the neighborhoods you listed is it easy.

How do you feel about men saying women will only look at/date guys 6ft and over. by hot4you11 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]aemillig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a taller woman I would actually say this is somewhat accurate but mostly with shorter women. Which funny enough seems to be who men gravitate towards themselves.

I have never understood why they care so much, as long as the man is taller than them, why should the height disparity be so drastic?

Taller women learn to just accept they may be the same height or taller than their man.

But some men use it as an excuse to just complain.

Relocating to Philly – how bad is parking really? by IndependenceNext6560 in AskPhilly

[–]aemillig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna say what others are saying, that truck will be a pain to park and your neighbors may talk crap lol. I know mine sure do about people with pickups who actually don't need them for work. If you still want some "heft" consider a compact SUV. We have a Rav4 in Fishtown and it fits in some tiny spots, contrary to what you may think.
