my block gets together and puts in a bulk cone order at the beginning of the year. 2 cones per household, and they usually last until the following January when it's time to reorder

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Irish Pub on 20 and Walnut used to make a good one but unfortunately they're gone now. I tried the Bloody Mary at the bar at Mix on 21 and Chestnut a couple times and did not like it either time. Used to be a spot on 40 and Walnut where Panera is now that had a pretty interesting one with a ton of variations available, but they're also gone now. Midtown Continental's (18 and Chestnut) is okay but not something to write mom and dad about.
I'm hoping we get some good answers on this because I'd also like to know.

I wanna say yay, although I'm not sure why really. And come to think of it, I don't remember there being any nay years for me lately. Maybe I'm just a retrospective optimist.

I've never ridden the 17 or encountered this driver, but I really appreciate people posting about good SEPTA experiences on here. This is the type of gossip I like.

I feel the same way! Lately colors have seemed brighter here, food tastes better, and music sounds so vivid!
Unrelatedly, the psilocybin microdosing regimen I've been on doesn't seem to be affecting me much at all.

Reply to comment by Kind_Session_6986 in Philadelphia mayoral candidates on gentrification: Parker, Gym, and Quiñones Sánchez talk solutions by outerspace29
That's also what all these candidates are saying. The usage of the word gentrification is often ambiguous because some people sometimes use it to refer to the process of economic growth and other people sometimes use it to refer to the process by which low-income residents are priced out of their own neighborhoods.
Everybody* thinks that gentrification in the first sense is good, and most people think gentrification in the displacement sense is bad. But a lot of people think you can't have the growth without displacement.
*some extreme activists are literally against growth, but that's a very vocal minority without any institutional pull

>They didn't even have any sensitive medical data though they were just handing appointment setting and coordinating volunteers/venues though right?
My recollection is that there were also questions about pre-existing health conditions that helped determine which patients qualified for which vaccine roll-out tiers.
My personal opinion is that it was a very scary time for everybody, and a lot of people hung a lot of hopes on the vaccines and, subsequently, on departments of public health to distribute them. This kid was absolutely a terrible choice to handle large scale vaccine distribution in Philadelphia, and heads definitely should have rolled at the Philly health department for it. Doroshin himself also put off extreme dumb-but-successful-frat-guy vibes, which made him super easy to dunk on. I guess I don't have an opinion as to whether dunking on Doroshin was bad for the city.
Was the amount of ridicule he received merited by his actual wrongdoing? I tend to doubt it. And, on the other side of the coin, I think Farley got off easy. But if there ever was a time for a person to say to himself, "Wow, this is actually a really important task, and maybe I just don't have the experience to do it effectively, even if I do have a plan to get rich off of it," then this was it.
ETA: WHYY also pushed a racial bias angle, because the people that got ghosted at testing events were mostly people of color, because the impact of the virus had a racial disparity, and because Doroshin was white and a more qualified black doctor was passed over for the contract. And I think when a story is framed as evil white guy victimizing disenfranchised people of color, it tends to cause the conversation to be more heated than it might have been otherwise. Plus there was a nationwide conversation about institutional racism that was unfolding at the same time. The whole thing struck a chord that resonated with a lot of people.

There were issues relating to the way they were handling sensitive medical data, including a boiler-plate terms of service agreement that would have let him sell private data (the law prevents this and AFAIK he was never busted for actually selling the data). He also ghosted a ton of people after agreeing to run a testing event.

the complaint is on PACER, free to access. He's also alleging Drexel discriminated against him on the basis of his race, which he identifies as Russian-American.
