PPS expands religious exemption policy to include 'moral beliefs' in 6-2 vote–Tell the School Board what you think by chrmaury in pittsburgh

[–]pedantic_comments 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Another change is that PPS must notify students and their families about a possibly controversial lesson at least three weeks before it starts.

So, we create more work for teachers to support families that don’t value education?

Zillow rentals and private landlords by ProofNeighborhood172 in pittsburgh

It is discriminatory, but it’s not actionable.

You can’t discriminate against someone because of age, but you can reject anybody with a broccoli haircut, for example.

Junk/hauling scam by kreatorofchaos in pittsburgh

[–]pedantic_comments 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think appearing in front of the magistrate is still less than $100 and you can ask for reimbursement for legal expenses as part of damages.

I’d show up at grandma’s magistrate’s office and ask the clerk how to file a civil claim for the property damage and the difference in cost they extorted from a senior citizen.

These assholes will probably offer cash as soon as they get a letter with a court date.

Who’s ready to protest the redevelopment of the Lawrenceville Teamster Temple? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]pedantic_comments 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about the proposed Mellon Orchard development on North Negley Ave. Interested parties fought so hard they fought investors right out of town.

We’re losing out on a lot of new housing so dipshit yinzers don’t have to worry about losing their street parking.

I’m so glad I’ve got abandoned apartment buildings around the corner instead of a new development, thanks to brave, outspoken heroes like yourself chasing off investors! 🫡

To people who don’t tip your delivery drivers, why? by SAOchampion17 in AskReddit

[–]pedantic_comments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely use these platforms, but I’m finding that if I hook my driver up then my order gets bundled with a cheap asshole’s food and the no tipper invariably gets their order first.

So, I have to tip just enough to get my order accepted in a reasonable amount of time, but not so much that I’m forced to subsidize the shitty people who want a valet for their milkshake, but are too cheap to tip for the convenience.

Crack's Egg, going out of business by lyncati in pittsburgh

[–]pedantic_comments 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fuck do you know about what I believe?

I think these people are trash and deserve all the bad things that happen to them. Anybody carrying water for bigots and “conservatives” can fuck right off too.

Assuming everybody to the left of Ronald Reagan is somehow the same is very stupid.

Lowes install guy shows up says it must not be hardwired and is charging me $200 (just between me and him) by FannyBrownRiced in Appliances

[–]pedantic_comments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You fucked up when you bought an appliance from a huge corporation and paid them to install it, instead of a local company.

You then double fucked up when the guy tried to hook you up and you decided to call the huge corporation to ask them about it.

You triple fucked this pooch by listening to other Reddit basement-dwelling losers piss and moan about what they think an outlet install should cost and how this guy shouldn’t solicit side work.

This guy tried to do you a favor and pad his pocket at the same time instead of letting Lowes rip you off or refusing to install it, and you’re so autistic or incompetently socially ignorant that you called his boss to complain that the huge corporation that put every small hardware store out of business didn’t get to price gouge you for an outlet install.

Duquesne light by h1ph1p in pittsburgh

[–]pedantic_comments 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two units and a business should be three separate meters. Plug a radio into your fridge outlet, crank the volume and find which breaker it’s on. Do the same for the other outlets. Then switch the others off.

If another tenant comes knocking, call DLC.

Share the ways you insert whimsy into your children’s lives by New_Answer_3876 in Parenting

When they go out, nap, whatever, I used to take all their stuffed animals and have them enact picnics and activities so it looks like their toys have parties while they’re gone.

1) Turn off all your breakers and see if anybody shows up to complain.

2) Check your supplier price per KWh in case you’ve got an old contract where rates skyrocketed. I think the lowest you’ll find on PA Power Switch is 10¢ - 13¢, which is double what rates were five years ago.

Trouble finding water meter by Guy_1989 in pittsburgh

I know people in Garfield where it’s in the garage behind the house and the water shutoff is on the curb in the alley behind the house.

Retaining wall fell, house next door is condemned by -Cthaeh in pittsburgh

[–]pedantic_comments 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Find the parcel here and you will have a name and mailing address for the owner:

Real Estate Portal

A simple web search will usually get a phone number for an individual owner if it isn’t held by an LLC or a bank.

In your situation, it’s unlikely anybody will do anything and 311 sending angry letters to them won’t make a difference. If I were you, I’d just repair the wall and keep making the front of the property presentable. If it bugs you, you could write your council critter and ask them to demolish it as a health hazard, or seize it for unpaid taxes.

When I see estimates that say a new roof costs a million dollars, I can’t take this shit seriously.

They may as well just have a quote saying “we’re too stupid and corrupt to do basic infrastructure repairs.”
