I never said no one uses tap water. I drink tap through a brita filter, but managed without buying one single bottle of water. According to another Redditor, I must’ve drank my own piss. But you’re cracked if you think people didn’t overreact. Like all the people thinking this is the next flint/east palestine. I mean hindsight is 20/20 but 8000 gallons isn’t even a drop in a bucket in a drop of a bucket. Also if you don’t trust the all clear given from the same people who gave the extra cautionary warning, that’s irrational, is it not? Thank god water doesn’t expire, just like all those plastic bottles, many of which will be returning to the water.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Airbnb is alerting hosts about subpoenas from the City of Philadelphia by Meatfrom1stgrade

Personally, I think this is a gross oversimplification. There's a TON of problems in our city--in ANY city--and they all need to be addressed. Do I think preventing crime is more important than random AirBnB operators getting over a little? Yes, but tell that to someone whose loved one was killed in an AirBnB fire where the operator didn't care about following the rules, and didn't have smoke detectors, etc.

Reply to comment by rossdowdell in Person shot on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line in West Philadelphia by WestPhillyFilly

Used to work at a coffee shop and every day this pair of cops came in... After parking in the handicap spot out front, they'd come in and get food and hangout while they do their scratchoffs.

The one cop was one of the largest people I'd ever seen personally in my life. He was massive. Like had to be 350+ lbs. No fucking way he was chasing anyone down.

But what perplexed me is that there were officer uniforms MADE FOR THAT SIZED person.

He had the regular shirt and pants every cop wears. The shirt was fucking huge. The pants were fucking huge. WHY DO THEY EXIST? Why would they expect a beat cop to ever get to that size?! There's a physical requirement to BE a cop, right??

So many people would just piss right off the side of the building up there and it would rain down on the people just walking below. I’ve had season tix since Mcnabbs first year and those first few at the Vet were definitely the wildest . People would just smoke crack out in the open and get into fights ,plus tickets were only about 30 bucks a game .
