Man you really must be one bad ass MFer! Probably as hard as you are charming. Your hero must be that idiot kid that lit the Cop car on fire in front of Mario’s statue. Anyway, check with Mommy I think your breakfast might be ready.

It's a hike from Pittsburgh but city mission runs some amazing thrift stores in Washington County (especially the new one in Mon City)

"Paying for costs now to allow for profits later" is literally what investment is.

If you teach a man to fish but don't give him a pole or access to a body of water with fish in it, you've done nothing.

I understand how somebody can use $3000 but none of those things would change your life.

Those are paying for someone's costs, not an investment in them. It's once again the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching him to fish.

If you have such a problem with stagnation you should be looking towards the ever growing pool of wealth at the top of our economy which doesn’t get spent in communities, it gets shuffled around a dozen hedge funds until we call it part of our GDP. The stagnation has gone on for 50 years now, and it isn’t because of entitlements. Check this out the wages have been flat while productivity is up 250%. They keep our money and then use our taxes to fund our own entitlements. This isn’t even about getting something we “don’t deserve” but getting back our slice of the pie. That money is yours and mine we aren’t doing more than taking it back.

I can accept that you don’t believe in ubi for whatever personal reasons you carry but you won’t convince me for a second that productivity and buying power have ever been related in this country.

That cost increase is actually pretty standard for any buildings planned prepandemic to now— new construction is running around 30% more expensive for any big projects. Agree it shouldn’t be spent on this either way, though.

we need better trained police. ok let's build them a training center. no. blue mad bad. but if you have poorly trained police then you have poorly trained police. they need good training to be good police. no. defund the police. no training. blue man bad.

I watched them shoot a teenage girl in the leg with a tear gas canister in June 2020 and then fire at the people trying to pull her out of the street so I can’t say I’m inclined towards optimism.

Sunflower seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and a firm but tender texture. They’re often roasted to enhance the flavor, though you can also buy them raw.

If you're shopping for a kid, check out the "Just Between Friends" and "Sunflower Sprouts" events coming up this spring. There's one in Monroeville, and a few others around the area. They're huge kids' resale events. Clothes, toys, furniture, baby stuff - everything. They have really high standards for what can be sold (no stains, tears, etc), so everything is in good condition. I can buy everything my son needs for a season - clothes, pajamas, swim gear, outerwear, shoes, and even a few toys, all for around $100.

And you can also sell your kids' old stuff that they've outgrown. I've been selling my son's old clothes and getting all his new clothes at the same time for the last few years. I easily earn over $100 selling last season's stuff, and then buy $100 worth of the upcoming season's stuff.

I'm keeping him clothed and getting him new toys for free, basically.

Style Encore in McCandless Crossing has a lot of great stuff. I've gotten some really nice designer bags there, clothes with tags still on, nice jewelry and accessories. The staff there are really nice and it's a very clean place. Bright and cheery.

A first month's rent for an apartment so they have an address with which to apply for a job.

A beater car to transport them to a job outside of range for public transportation.

A class so they can get a better job.

Medicine or food so they can live long enough to find a job.

Mental health services or medications to make them stable enough to not be fired from a job.

Childcare so their kid won't be left alone while they're at their job.

Now, I can't give you financial advice, but I think those are some great investments with a lot of potential to change someone's life.

That's a silly attitude to have about cops. Nearly all of the cops out here getting into trouble for doing fucked up stuff have gone through multiple "reforms." It's a racket. "Just one more thing" might make them do a 180? They're just training how to better violate your civil rights.

Good cops who go against the grain become dead cops.

Shut the fuck up, we all know that the corruption is in pretty much every single department, and especially every single big city department. Don't be so obtuse.

Get his ass.

Yeah, no, this is common among shift workers. Typically a tour is a batch of shifts, like if you rotate 1st, 2nd, 3rd, each week of a different shift is a tour, or sometimes the full rotation through all three shifts is a tour and then it repeats. It's not strictly defined and people use it in different ways. Though I'm sure the coppers do love the idea of larping as soldiers and pretending they go on deployment.

I’ve lived on Liberty in Bloomfield for 3 years and never heard of Wear After. Definitely doesn’t exist. Maybe they’re thinking of Clothes Minded?

That sucks. It was a great place and the folks running it were really nice.

Maps says it is closed permanently. Can anyone confirm?

Its quite obvious you never actually been in a position where 3k would be life changing. Like, if someone can have a stable home for a moment, they can make steps to keep it a stable home.

Lincoln Highway Hub isn’t a thrift store. It’s an antique shop
