Reply to You know that one bus driver who announces the stops and says “hold on folks!” When he makes turns in Rittenhouse? by postgrad-dep18
I rode with him once and I really did appreciate his cheerfulness and the effect that he had on the ride for me and certainly everyone else.

The ones who really need to heed this advice will not see this or care, unfortunately.
That said, as one who regularly has to take the approach of inching out on the street which i’m turning and crossing my fingers that someone doesn’t come speeding down and T-bones me, I couldn’t agree more. F*ck all the donuts who park like that- especially their dumb pickup trucks.

I dunno about best in Philly as I haven’t ordered them at multiple different places…
but I will say one of my favorite Center City experiences was getting high, going to Fergie‘s Pub, and ordering their fried pickles and Bangers ‘n Mash. So good. They also have REALLY good ginger ale. Like it must be house made because it’s unlike any I’ve ever had. Just trust me on this one.

Reply to LPT: Lots of kids are encouraged to dream big. Don't let this become a shackle in adult life, feeling you never fulfilled your "potential." Those dreams were a way to energize you to learn, practice, and focus. They are rarely realistic and don't take into account the complexities of real life. by zazzlekdazzle
I wish someone would’ve told me this a long time ago.
For my entire childhood and into my college life, my parents always had this mentality. While I don’t believe it’s inherently a bad thing, I do realize now that it constantly kept me feeling like I wasn’t doing enough, achieving enough, and that I was never in the right place in life. Especially since I have an older sibling who DID make it big pretty much as soon as she finished college and now makes 6-figure income.
As I wrap up my 20’s, I’ve come to accept that my life is my own, it’s not a race, and the most important thing is my own happiness. Coincidentally, my parents have been on my ass about such things way less since accepting this.
