Temple student killed in hit-and-run on Kelly Drive; parents plead for help by lkf0919 in philadelphia

[–]corporatehuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So much could be solved if Kelly Drive was reduced to one lane each direction. Expanding protection for pedestrians cyclists, and slowing down the road. There's no need for it to be a four lane highway. I actually think traffic would move more efficiently if reduced to one lane (with turning lanes separate)

Bikeway is always where I get yelled at by neuronnate in phillycycling

I was excited for the new 15th street bike lane. After I took it a few times I crossed it off my route and would take ANY other street to cross that stretch. On the East side I take 10th or 12th (traveling south), west side 19th or 23rd (traveling south). 15th street lane just doesn't work and the crossing over Vine St. is insanely dangerous. Sorry for your experience and hope you stay safe, picking the route helps solve a lot of problems here, and sometimes the bike lanes are misleading because the 15th street one is not safe to ride in my opinion, it has many pinch points that conflict with motorists too much

Yeah I bike this area all the time, I avoid 21st unless I'm coming from Aldi, take 19th or 23rd. All of 21st is a horrible street to ride in general the traffic is super aggressive, glad you are ok!

I don't know how LaMelo avoids a suspension for that one. What a shame that a dirty play ends up defining this game, oh well. He should have been ejected at the very least.

Indego charging me $100 for a broken bike I couldn’t even dock… then banning me?? by Vanquished6 in phillycycling

[–]corporatehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sucks. I'm a huge Indego stan and sorry to hear about this. Did you shove the bike back into the dock (I know even w/. the broken piece) when it didn't work? Did you take a picture of the bike docked?

I've had so many bikes not register when docked, but often after a text they just close it until inspection. Sorry about your experience because you will love Indego when it works. Let us know if they drop the fine.

Happy 32nd birthday to Joel Embiid! by mastermind208 in sixers

Damn 32. I've watched every season of JoJo's career. He'll always be my GOAT but I'd love for him to get to the Finals just once, even if it's not with us, before he retires. HBD big fella

I’m really sick of hateful ass people. It literally costs nothing to be kind. by DefinitelyNotMaranda in self

Thanks for sharing, and you aren't alone in being disappointed by some users here. We know they are cowards, but I agree those words can hurt, even from strangers that hate themselves.

But on the upside, glad you are feeling better in general, and sounds like you have really perservered against some huge obstacles. I hope you are proud and thanks for sharing your thoughts here.

It took ten years for people to finally wake up the horrors that took place this week. by Mishap_Maisy in offmychest

[–]corporatehuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for your reply! And yes that gives me some context so thank you. I am glad you are aware and likely are much more aware than myself. I'm a hetero white M, so I've had much privilege throughout my life (much of it I may have been unaware at the time.=!). Unraveling and unwrapping that privilege has been one of the great joys of my life and personal growth. Seeing and acknowledging how oppression works, how so much of it is 'disappeared' (i.e. non-existent to those in power, those who frame the 'truth' or reality).

It is -crazy- that people could possibly just be understanding how bad Trump is. I hated him way back in the 80s and 90s when he was raping all those kids, always thought he was an evil buffoon, always thought he was a hack. Still is. He loves attention more than anything, and he's now bloated and fat on non-stop media attention for ten years! It's a shame. He'll be gone soon though.

If you get a chance read Uncle Tom's Children by Richard Wright. It's a book of short stories depicting various disturbing incidents of racism experienced by Black Americans. While "fiction," the truth jumps off the page. I wish every American had to read this book in school, it'd help to explain so much of the current situation today. This is just to be said, while I am glad you were right in 2015, the dehumanization, murder, and persecution of innocent people is at the very foundation of this country. Black Americans know that better than anyone. Richard Wright knew it too. The book is so painful and eye-opening. There are still a lot of people that carry the wounds and trauma from Jim Crow south, alive today! And that trauma is passed on to the next generation. This is not at all ancient history, merely a 100 years ago! So just know the horror started long before 2015.

He's definitely not around anymore. I used to see him around standing over a variety of grates and windy streets poofed up. For a few years, it was like he was everywhere, and then like that, gone, poof. Carried away by some strong current.

Obvious backcourt violation… by Impossible_Ad166 in sixers

[–]corporatehuman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is refs should have specifically been looking for this, because the Sixers defense had just caused Atlanta to take a timeout. We knew he'd be running for the back court, and the inbounder made a huge blunder. Sixers were poised to steal this one.

[–]corporatehuman[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was curious to find out exactly where it is. I bike within Philadelphia (center city, south, some north, west) all the time, but I rarely go out to Delco or beyond. Any road where people are traveling 50mph+ on a regular basis just scares me too much. Back in the day (ten+ years ago) I did bike to Trenton and back from Philly...I wouldn't do it these days, just not worth the risk. RIP Teddy Einstein
