I was like "donuts? At midnight?? I guess 🤷"

I genuinely thought this was about baked goods. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Last time this exact thing happened to me, the rep made the shitty cab driver leave the pick up line and go around the airport loop and get back at the end of the line. I hope he learned his lesson!

not some place where some guy from john hancock goes every Thursday to get a fucking blow job

You’re now the only type of constituent that matters: a homeowner. Nobody else in the world matters; pollsters want to know what you think.

Probably a good fishing spot.

Latin vibes Philly seems to be hosting a few parties at vesper and moshulu…also saw la jungla del perreo at Winston

Yeah, I'm pretty diligent about tying to scrub my personal info from the web as much as I can. Those sites you mention really don't have much on me. I did review all of my sales documents thoroughly, and had the lawyer that oversaw the sale of my apartment in NYC go over them as well (NY is a lawyer state, which I think is good), and there wasn't any clause that stated that my information would be given out left and right. It just seems odd to me that I would go from having 3-5 calls a year in NY to 3-5 calls a day in PA.

Great book called "Fires of Philadelphia" about this

I go to the tailors on 8th and south. She’s a bit brusque sometimes but is nice and does good work

Sorry, forgot you’re supposed to dump the body in the marsh.

I know this is probably a joke, but... It was extremely shallow at this point here. Like, you could probably wade out into the river a few feet (if you were feeling lucky). I was surprised, actually. I assumed the Schuylkill was much deeper.

So, probably not the best body disposal spot tbh.

There are definitely companies that have automation around things like the recording of new deeds. The kind of personal information that you could only easily dig up if you worked at a collections agency is now... just on the internet. Google yourself and your phone number, and you'll find a page with all your old addresses and phone numbers, your family, all scraped from public sources or lists that got hacked and shared.

I just like to blame the bank and the real estate agency. "Just initial all these pages and sign this, this, and this." Who's going to look for marketing language in all those documents?

+1 for Syes. He's great and quick!

i think most places would accommodate you just have to be upfront and pay

Is this where they dump the bodies?

So, my understanding is that they taught the Bible in public schools back then.

Since Catholics and Protestants have slightly different versions of the Bible, the Catholics asked if it was ok if in their neighborhood schools, would it be ok if their public schools used the Catholic Bible.

The Protestants only considered the Protestant Bible to be the true Bible, and the (slightly different) Bible used by the Catholics was therefore not the Bible.

And so this was characterized as “removing” the Bible from public schools, which really angered everyone who believed that teaching the Bible in public schools was very important.

In this era where people would flip out if you taught the Bible in public school, it’s so nuts that this fight was about which version schools should teach in public schools.

It should also be noted that this was just about two years after the Lombard Street Riots, where the Catholics were actually the aggressors, and were rioting against the Black population. And in that riot, the main Catholic instigators pretty much avoided punishment.

Crazy that in two years, the Catholics were involved in two sets of riots, one where they were the bigots, and another where they were the victims of bigotry. Wild time those 1840s.

This is where I used to go regularly - a decade ago. LOL.
