"I repeated the last thing I read on Facebook and now that I've said it out loud someplace else, I realize how dumb I sound so I better make people think I was joking the whole time before they figure out I'm a corncob."

I heard that your average Yinzer will believe anything they're told, especially when it's some dumb shit that no governor in his last term will ever accomplish, because they don't understand anything that isn't a sandwich.

>Begs the question why was there a delay in the first place…

Stop it.

Bussing has been fucked for the entire school year for some districts, regardless of weather.

Color me shocked that a self-avowed cat lady isn't an actual psychotherapist when they claim they are!

"Wait till we tell 'em Jesus didn't have long straight Miss Breck hair and blue eyes!"

>Jews do this all the time

If you've ever wondered "Am I the asshole here" I think the above has your answer.

Then whichever professional organizations you belong to would likely cringe at how you're using your education to dismiss/make fun of others. Congrats!

It means "I pass for white and have never experienced racism before, so I don't believe it's ever happened to anyone else."

>Assholes that are in such a small irrelevant number that nobody cares. No shouting back no protesting. Just go about your day. Numbers will decline further. Which equals a few less assholes.

Tell me you've enjoyed white privilege your entire life without telling me you've enjoyed white privilege your entire life.

Are you a psychotherapist? If you're not, that's gross. Those of us with mental illness don't generally go around assuming that any woman who does something we don't like is "menopausal."

This is the right answer, other than "Make it yourself because cabbage, butter and onions are cheap, and haluski isn't haute cuisine."

Gullifty's.

How about some context?

Not sure if Pittsburgh Guitars does that kind of repair, but they've been an institution for decades. They could probably give you a dozen names of people, if they won't do it.

They targeted low income and predominantly Black areas and told people that if they voted by mail, the government could use the information on their ballots to arrest them for outstanding warrants, other crimes, or force them into vaccination programs.

They're sorry... that they were caught.

Anyone got photos from the movie theater that was back there? My wife worked there after high school and she'd love to see some old memories.

Yeah, there was a flea market for awhile, in the decrepit carcass of the mall that was left at the time. Last time I went inside was probably 1994 or so, and it was barely functional then.

They finally razed the entire thing when Amazon showed up.

Then I suppose we don't need to worry about bird urine, do we?

Birds don't urinate.

"Let's do crimes where we call people on the phone and tell them lies! We'll never get caught!"

- A couple of fucking idiots

A significant portion of people who live in areas close to park and ride lots actually drive a short distance, then get on a bus, THEN do a bit of walking to their final destination. Or biking. Had plenty of people ride the bus in from Forest Hills, with a bike, and get off at Penn Station when I was riding the bus.

Yes, the internet. Which is clearly working so well already, based on the fact that almost every reply from OP is that they don't know how to use Reddit.

If you're not doing something in public, then the other option is...

Help me out, here.

Uh, I'd say "Not interested" and go about my day like I, and countless others, have done since we were born? You know, the way you deflect a social interaction in which you don't want to participate.

Have you never told anyone "No" before? This is an honest question.

"Hi, I'm a journalism student, can I ask you a few questions for an assignment? I don't need any personal info."

I highly doubt this sentence would result in violence on a bus. If you truly believe this, do the rest of us a favor and never leave your home.

If you do it aggressively, sure. But that's not at all what I said.

Asking a polite question is not "cornering someone on public transportation" and if one were to conduct an interview as an assignment, one should assume that they'd be able to handle a simple "no" rejection and not be an asshole about it.
