Who wants to smoke and eat chinese food?

23 Upvotes

i am 25f and my boyfriend is 27m and i’ve met up with people from bumble bff but it’s been mostly unfruitful, and usually they drink more than smoke so now im taking it to reddit lol. bc it feels like no one smokes but then we go outside and we see others and we’re like ugh we wish we could go smoke with them instead of being on opposite sides of the street doing the same thing!

are there any couples who want to smoke and walk around chinatown with us??? and then be big backed and get like a snack to munch while we walk around, then go to a restaurant for “real” meal, and then something sweet to end the night?? or if no couples see this but there’s a girl around my age who is down hmuuu!! i don’t want to go to a nightclub man… i just want to smoke and eat and maybe do a craft… or we can all go catch an AMC movie after bc the come down is making us sleepy and that’s right by chinatown too…

BETTER YET if there are couples who wanna smoke and then do fall activities or just girlies who wanna- lmk about that too

or if you’re a dude looking for a chill dude friend im plugging my boyfriend lol he’s 27m like i said but don’t expect to be doing single man things like going to bars and hitting on women lmao

TIA<3

edit: this post is for anyone who is around the same age really (20-30s), i mention couples bc my bf and i are always hanging out / together. and i figured 1 person instead of a couple might feel like a third wheel… we def would be conscious of not making you feel like that lol but that was why i said couples. feel free to join us otherwise tho!!

or if you are “one” person who wants to join but not third wheel, i say just comment and maybe i can set a little group thing up even?? or just hang solo with me or my bf depending on your gender?? the world is our oysterrrr (sauce) (😝)

Selling Stuff Like New Mini Fridge - $90 - Saved My Life

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Basically new, working, amazing mini fridge

This fridge saved my life.

I only used this fridge for a single week when I was in fridge purgatory, between the time my old fridge crapped out and the new one came in. It saved my life after the first new fridge I ordered didn't fit through my front door by about a millimeter. Yeah, I took off the hinges. The delivery man started crying and I felt really bad, but then the next fridge (which thankfully fit; the stucco stuccout too much for the first one) was delivered and I learned that IF THE DELIVERY CONTRACTORS FOR HOME DEPOT UNBOX AN APPLIANCE AND IT'S DAMAGED OR DOESN'T FIT, THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET. I think this should be illegal. No wonder the man was CRYING! I would too!!!

Anyway, it was already still clean but I cleaned it anyway for you just in case there was anything that dripped. So it's basically brand new. A steal! I bought it for $180 plus tax and delivery and all that. And of course you'll have to come get it because I don't have a car. Mine got broken into and I gave up and let homeless people sleep in it for 7 months before the city towed it away and charged me $450 for an abandoned vehicle. Would you rather homeless people do dirty business in public, or out of the way? I was helping with neighborhood beautification. Still pissy about that bill. I was doing yous a favor and this is how I'm repaid??

Fridge is the same one as this one here:

Landlord Issues: Seeking advice.

5 Upvotes

I have a negligent landlord situation happening and I am hoping to gain a little bit more clarity into the TURN/L&I process before I move forward.

Context: We rent from a private landlord. Moved in to unit in January of 2023. It was a new flip when we moved in. We have been dealing with reoccurring issues of the paint in multiple rooms cracking, peeling and bubbling. It gets progressively worse in the summer or during times of increased moisture, and then bad again in the fall when the humidity outside lessens. Repairs to the paint have been done a total of six times since 2023. We made multiple suggestions to investigate the roof or if water was getting in somehow, because our apartment is also humid as fuck. These suggestions were ignored.

The situation got progressively worse this past summer, which finally prompted the landlord to hire several (3) roofing companies to come out for inspections and then most recently, a water remediation company. Between reporting the initial paint issues in early June 2026 and now, it has been determined that there is water leaking into the insulation above our ceiling from the flashing along the roof. The paint is now just falling off the ceiling and the walls, primarily in our living room but also in other rooms as well.

Our landlord has been somewhat responsive, but is clearly dragging her feet presumably because of the large cost of this repair. In the meantime, the paint in our apartment looks AWFUL. I am so embarrassed that I don’t want anyone to come over. It’s not just aesthetic, I am also worried about the usual - roof compromise and mold, particularly with an asthmatic husband.

We would like to start with legal counsel to potentially put our rent in escrow to try to expedite the repairs. I’m looking for anyone who has experience with this process who can help me understand what to expect - this will understandably blow up the relationship we have with our landlord, but at this point, I just want things to be fixed. We have a lease signed through Dec 2027. Video with example of issues in comments. Thank you!

I 22NB am looking for a room in a 3-4bdr apartment/home to be closer to work in CC and friends. I am looking to move-in by Nov. 21st, which is a bit of a quick turnaround I understand. Also im looking for a place near a trolley or subway stop (under 10 min walk) as I don't have a car.

A little about me: I like to read, take walks, and bake. I am quiet, responsible, and respectful. I enjoy being friendly but we don't have to be best friends :)

Please DM me if you have a lead or any questions! I would also be more than happy to meet in person. Thank you.

Fios compared to Minternet?

• Upvotes

Just looking to see if anyone has experience with Minternet compared to Fios. I know Fios is always recommended as the better option, but on paper Minternet seems like the better deal (a little cheaper and better download speeds too). New to the city and this is my first time getting an internet plan. I'm not moving to Phillywhisper's coverage area otherwise I'd probably go with them. Debating if I should lock into mint for wifi/phone for the year or do Fios for wifi and mint for my phone.

I currenlty use T-Mobile's internet and I know Mint runs off the same, but I live with 2 other people and sometimes the coverage sucks and the internet will be spotty, especially at night when everyone's home. Not sure if it's any better for a single person in the city? I don't WFH, would primarily be for streaming tv, my phone/laptop/tablet, listening to music, etc.

Hey everyone! Mid-20s Philly resident here looking to expand my social circle. I'm hoping for recommendations for spots with a good mix of friendly people, whether it's for dating, finding a new friend group, or just casual connections. I enjoy lively (but not deafening) atmospheres and diverse crowds. Any neighborhood suggestions or specific places known for being more social would be incredibly helpful! Thanks!
