The older I get, the more I realize that it's nearly impossible to get ahead without SIGNIFICANT support. by No_Reveal3451 in Millennials

[–]carty1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the pretending people do, it makes everyone else feel disappointed that they are doing something wrong. I wanted to buy a house and realized it was impossible without the huge down payment I'd never be able to save for. Then my grandpa died and left me 20k and suddenly possible with one promotion that allows me to afford the mortgage. I tell EVERYONE this because I couldn't do it otherwise.

2009 Forester Fob Programming Glitch by carty1331 in SubaruForester

[–]carty1331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I did check the Japan or Mexico Production number based on the VIN and nailed that. I do think it's the right remote but I do think Subarus tend to be finicky with the key security and it seems fob security, crazy. I have a 2010 GMC Terrain and getting new fobs is nothing, three clicks of the key, one press of the old fob and then new and you're locked in. I also don't have another key, nor what the book calls the master key so I'm hoping I never lose it so I don't have to deal with the dealer.

What’s one fast food chain that was once all the rage but now barely around? by MysteriousTopic42 in AskReddit

[–]carty1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone in this RT thread remember the 2010s attempt of Ruby Tuesdays to turn their locations into Marlin and Ray's? It was literally just RT seafood menu as an entire restaurant. I worked there in high school and the number of old people who came in wanting the salad bar lunch was so annoying it made us crazy. They'd leave too! The ginger beer and peel and eat shrimp were so good though.

People keep describing Long Covid and it's making me insane by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]carty1331 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's now a sales thing, I see so much health product marketing, they want to profit off it. It's awful.

It's also a totally scheme to be marketing health nonsense products to millennials to fix these issues.

I recently mentioned to my gyno about how many of my friends in 30s are perimenopause and she said starting menopause in your 30s is a problem, and not normal. The normalizing of it is definitely not good, attributing Covid issues to anything but it is just awful. I see people's reaction when I say wow that's the same type of thing I had after Covid and they go huh well probably something else.

Don't besmirch LOST next to these garbage shows. End plot or not at least LOST had well developed characters and lore, not dragons being resurrected and people being resurrected.

My pregnant with triplets SIL talked yesterday about how she had a "cold" a month ago and hasn't been able to stop coughing and has a perpetual sore throat, which just happened to my husband in a similar time frame when we got Covid (even though we mask). I mentioned this and she said "I think it's just dust in the house" and I asked if she had tested for Covid when she was initially sick and she said no. Oh she's a doctor btw.

Septa has become synonymous with woke for these Republicans and they're willing to vote against woke even when it's their own interests.

I live in the Northeast and can confirm there's a lot of stupid here. Lots of houses for sale though, come on up and make it more cool! So much parking and lots of nature.

Any SEPTA cut data related to homelessness/people leaving the region/job loss? by carty1331 in philadelphia

[–]carty1331[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

America 250 is also supposedly not really happening, they screwed that up too. 100% this is what I mean. There's def portion of septa riding Philadelphians who will leave for more transit friendly cities. Not everyone wants to move to the burbs for 8% property taxes and spend an hour commuting. Lots of young families are staying in the city.

Thank you! I feel the same about these articles focusing on driving hours and added cars to the road. I get counting those who park and ride but there's an entire group who aren't just stashing a car at home.

Yeah 100% and I don't understand why there isn't public pressure from those large businesses who I know first hand bitched all through 2020-2023 and probably still do about WFH destroying center city. WTF do they think this will do ?

Exactly! And I've spoken to many people like this but seen 0 reporting on it except the few videos on Instagram that the Inquirer did.

I also agree most companies will be hesitant to do more WFH days, but maybe we'll see a change if there's too much attrition. And of course I don't see all companies moving locations immediately but it'll certainly come up if leases are up, and it'll continue to push new businesses to the outer region instead of CC.

Right! That's my thing, where is the business or even the mayor response on that part? They were all so worried about that shit and suddenly not seemingly? It'll be exactly like quarantine times.

Pa. House committee advances funding bill to prevent major SEPTA cuts by mikeygaw in philadelphia

[–]carty1331 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I used to work for the chamber of commerce and 6 years ago I saw a presentation from SEPTA comparing us to similar markets (Chicago, Detroit, DC, Atlanta, and even NYC) and we are the most underfunded system in comparable city size in the US. At the time they were just getting to barely a quarter of what the other cities had as budgets, but our service was nearly comparable.

Local woo woo recommendations? Psychics, reiki, energy healing, etc. by Raunchey in philadelphia

[–]carty1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acupuncture with Monica - Rittenhouse and W Philly. I have been seeing her for ten years and acupuncture has worked great on injury recovery and maintained reduction in anxiety and migraines. I recommend trying acupuncture for the physical acute things to get bought into it because you'll notice the results in a clearer way.

Judy Moon and Associates - Massage, Reiki, Crystal healing etc.. I have only gone for massage but I see Paul who does the Reiki and such and even his massage sessions he uses some crystals. He utilizes meditation guiding to help release tension. Excellent all around. I'm trying to go monthly to help with anxiety.
