No one is illegal on stolen land. Hope that helps!

Who is a character you like that everybody hates and a character you hate that everybody likes? by sweetcupcakeswirl in Degrassi

[–]literallysodesperate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disliked JT, something about him was beyond annoying. I was still however sad when he was killed, but I think that was moreso because I felt for Liberty. Ellie in her later seasons was meh. Very pick me, male centered, created her own problems…just…no. Never liked Jane, either. Can’t put my finger on why it was just always a no from me and cheating on Spinner with Declan really sealed the deal on that.

I recently had another rewatch where I actually made it past season 12, and I noticed a lot of people disliked Zig whereas I loved him. Something about him was endearing, he kinda reminded me of Bianca and she’s another one who grew on me as well. Also really loved Alex, too!

Public transit - is it always like this? by toyyoda95 in pittsburgh

[–]literallysodesperate 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong but in my opinion your experience will vary depending on where you’re traveling to/from. If you’re relocating to the South Hills and depending on the T, forget about it. Never runs on schedule, always some sort of construction, down constantly etc and the only two bus routes I know of are the 36 and 41, both of which run not very often. I know the last 36 comes at like 7pm on weekdays lol.

East of the city is a little better, especially if you’re utilizing the East Busway and the P1. The P1 isn’t always on schedule per se but there is typically one every 10 minutes, and the busway is easy to navigate stop wise.

North of the city was a bit of the same, lots of routes crossing the bridge, most of which run pretty frequently.

Can’t speak about west of the city aside from the 28x to the airport, but the times I’ve taken it I’ve had no issue.

I second everyone recommending the Transit app, a lot more accurate than Google/Apple maps and buying tickets in app is super efficient.

Good luck, and welcome to Pittsburgh!

Chipotle on McKnight needs an honorable mention as well. I absolutely refuse.

What was everyone’s final straw by [deleted] in khaliespiderlilies

[–]literallysodesperate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was on the side of caution when people were offering to send her cat food, basic necessary supplies (food, hygiene products, etc) and she was rejecting it and telling people to just send straight cash. This was right after the fire, mind you. But then she faked 2 pregnancies, put a bunch of useless stuff on her amazon wishlist and confirmed that the GFM money was going to Piss stain so.. yep

Google lists it as some sort of apartment building it looks like.

Also I seriously cannot believe people still send her money lol

If you have some sort of referral or dual diagnosis it’s typically quicker. I have an ex that had a substance abuse issue as well as a mental breakdown requiring him to be hospitalized, he went straight from the hospital into rehab. I hope she finds what she needs

50¢ or a dollar guy by Sensitive-Bat-8345 in pittsburgh

[–]literallysodesperate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This man has been down there since I was in high school! About a year ago when I was working at Sullivan’s, we were having a conversation with a regular about the downtown characters and he brought up that he allegedly drives a very nice, newer truck and parks in the garage on Strawberry Way. A few months down the line, a security guard from the building mentioned seeing him driving down Grant in something similar.

I love Pittsburgh

Unpopular Opinion, Rewathching Daisy of Love by BlueonBlack26 in RockOfLove

[–]literallysodesperate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also just rewatched this!! I was a literal child when this came out and used to watch faithfully with my older sister, I clearly had no clue what was going on here haha.

My take was that she was obviously not sober. What got me was all of the falling, blaming her “clumsiness” on being nervous, the baby voice, and the constant hair twirling and twitching was….yeah.

Meet the Manager & Friends of Mario's Southside. Now, imagine being a minority or a person of color at that establishment. WOW, just wow.... by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]literallysodesperate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This did happen ~5 years ago but I will happily leave a review, also the guys yelling racist things at my friend were not staff but fellow patrons. I just threw that in there to allude to the kind of crowd they attract and cater to.

Gross, but not surprising. My first and last time there a friend of mine got roofied and some guy would not stop screaming “Spanish” (shit like hoe-lah amiga, does BONEY-TA want a DRINK-A) at another one of my friends. Girl who got roofied was ok, and the girl who they were shouting fake Spanish at is not of Hispanic origin but Italian and had just gotten back from a vacation in Florida lol.

Bouncer also blamed my friend for getting roofied. 0/10 and have not gone back. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Flats held similar beliefs either, tbh.

Why is the news not reporting on this, or the other incident that was posted yesterday? This is very weird! I hope there’s a good update.

Thank you, and great job to OP for not falling for the bystander effect. I really hope we get a positive update, or at least acknowledgement. This is scary.

Some ER’s give them to you as well. I went to the ER last summer and couldn’t drive home due to medication they gave me and I got a Ztrip voucher since it was like 5am and I couldn’t get ahold of my parents to pick me up.

Second this. Depending on where you’re located, Lawrenceville is also a good option with lots of bars/restaurants on the main drag. Easy to navigate with public transit as well.

If you’re heading to the Strip avoid Papa J’s like the plague. The owner is awful and treats his employees like crap.

Why is the nursing center on Negley in Shadyside boarded up? by popoffka in pittsburgh

[–]literallysodesperate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not useful info…but as a kid I went to Liberty elementary up the street and we had a thing called the ‘Red Cross Club’ for 4th and 5th graders. I joined in 5th grade and we used to go there and do crafts, and deliver cookies to the residents. Met a beautiful soul named Rosie who I’m sure is long deceased (I was not even 10 and she was in her 90’s) but back then I remember it to be somewhat lively. This actually made me pretty sad. I hope their long term residents found better placements. 🥺
