Mad crime happens in the burbs and jersey townships but never leads or even gets reported. City always gets the shit report.

Helicopters doing donuts now too???

Buddy look at my comment below. I hit a guy, and a bunch of people passing by thought he was dead. For literally 20 minutes a dude was laying on the street at 17th and Market and a bunch of passerby thought I killed him. 911 answered no one.

Cops happened to roll by, and they acted like it was a fucking nuisance.

I will believe the most outlandish anecdotal stories about the cops in this city. They are fucking awful at their jobs and a large percentage of them are lazy assholes. Many of them are even vindictive because people told them they suck at their jobs (which they do - and they should feel bad until they don't)

You call the cops in any other neighborhood and it's even worse response times. Let alone the neighborhoods you would never find yourself in.

Edit: not to mention people were calling the cops on this dude before he ran into me. He was doing it for the whole day according to the witness that stuck around for me. Absolutely insane that shit happens for an extended amount of time anywhere in the city, let alone one of its most trafficked areas.

Cops love donuts!

Went this morning and enjoyed a mocha from y'all for the first time. For someone who commutes back and forth from DC a lot, it still seemed pretty reasonably priced to me. I honestly loved it - I'll probably visit the Rittenhouse square location in the next few days and see about picking up some beans (and if y'all sell it some of your chocolate sauce) to make some at home when I'm not traveling. Cheers!

The 76ers stadium relocation to Market would actually justify that huge space for sports and concert crowds boarding the PATCO and BSL.

If its near the boiler room its possible it was used for loading coal?

Threedom?

Thank you. Frustrating isn’t the word, I didn’t get home until 630am that day. He’s the only person I ever got to meet after 3 years of both helping and losing people over the phone. In a weird way, I think it was some type of closure. I hope he’s doing well now.

That’s such a frustrating story. You’re a good person.

Ok that is fucked

That would be a miracle in this damn city. I had a man call my phone at 2am saying he was going to end his life. I’m a previous 911 dispatcher and I kept him on the phone for 3 hours. Text to 911, they disconnected on me twice saying “just tell him to call the suicide hotline.” Never sent me an officer to my house. I drove to 3 different districts and ultimately ended up at the mans house, which was miraculously 20 minutes away from mine, that I found his address and provided to PD to do a wellness check, and told the sergeant “I’m not leaving until you help him.” They took him immediately when they realized I was the one on the phone and if they didn’t take him, I was going to.

This city is a joke when it comes to mental health.

he was literally arguing with the dispatcher to send an officer to file a report. she finally agreed, reluctantly, and with such attitude too

he waited a half hour, and went back into his apartment building

over 3 hrs later he got a call officer was outside ready to look at the damaged car

this was 2021

i literally don’t have pollen allergies but holy shit i’m about scratch my entire skin off!!!!!! thought i’m having a severe eczema flare but now it’s in places where there is none …

wouldn’t be surprised, a friend of mine who lives in my hood said she caught the owner of her nearby corner store using food stamps to buy products for the store. not sure if other stores do the same with em but probably so

I was at the game tonight. He played well, still a bit concerned about the Achilles going into the playoffs.

Oh, he's not the child of the orange girl Grouch and Big Shot?

That intersection, and a few blocks East, is a real s**t show. It really doesn't need to be though. Does anyone know if that is Johnson's jurisdiction or Squilla's? The district maps are a bit unclear.

Is that actually true or are you exaggerating from an experience you heard? Have you actually waited more than a half hour for police recently?

If you're trying to solve hormonal acne, I think you should try out the pill for a few more months. I have PCOS and suffered from horrible hormonal acne. It started when I was ~11 and I had terrible, early teen level acne for the next 15 years. IUD didn't do much but the pill pretty much completely got rid of all my acne--it just took ~4-6 months to really clear up my face and then another ~6-8 months for all my deep scarring and hyperpigmentation to fade. With skincare and hormone, 1 month just isn't enough time to make a decision--your body is still getting used to the hormones.

On the other hand, if you feel terrible on it consistently, the acne may be worth it to switch back to the IUD. I also felt terrible on the pill so honestly I made the switch back after years of sacrificing my mental health for clear skin. The pill saved my life though because ~2 years on it stabilized my skin enough that my skin looks nowhere near as bad as it used to. I still get more pimples on the IUD but it's nowhere near what it used to be.
