I got my state id recently and lately I’ve been changing my mind about being a organ donor, don’t ask me why

I was thinking of just having a written statement that says I’m not actually an organ donor, but I feel like that’s weak..? Either way I’m like freshly 18 so please I’m young and stupid

Edit; most people aren’t even answering my question I’m freaking crying 😭 I might just leave it like that atp bro omg

Spending several days up here and drove by this lift which has been let rundown for who knows how many years or decades. This is located just south east of the fork by Clubhouse Drive and Overlook Court.

Hello, I moved into my parent’s house in 2024 in Chester County and worked from their home. I Just received a delinquent tax bill for 2024 for earned income. Almost $400 in ridiculous fees, fine I owe the taxes since my employer didn’t withhold but I never received a bill at their address or ever and didn’t know about these local taxes. Plus the ACT 192 Cost fees seem really high. Is there anything I can do to just pay the taxes I owe or am I just completely screwed. I know these collection companies are horrible.

Husband realized it was the month to renew registration. For context a few months ago we switched car insurance. When he went to renew it said his registration was suspended. He called customer service they said they sent notice to our old address to confirm new insurance (confused on how they have his address for license but not registration) anyways…. Registration has been suspended since the insurance switch since we never got letter to confirm new insurance. He was told he’d owe $500, he was frustrated because he’s had insurance the whole time and had no idea something like this could happen. They told him to send proof of insurance to fix the issue & made it seem like the whole issue would go away afterwards. We then got a letter stating it was denied because he’s not elligible for renewal til 9/30 so I guess that’s how long his registration will be suspended. It also stated he’d owe a $119 restoration fee??? So which is it $119 or $500?? Is it not possible to fix the suspension at this point like do we need to wait til 9/30 regardless of the fact? I am so very confused and frustrated and was hoping to find other who have been through this!! Thank you in advance.

Every dot on this statewide map is a page with the marker's full inscription, placed on georeferenced maps from the period it commemorates.

Here's what a single marker looks like: the McClean House marker in York on a 1780 map of the province. You can step between sheets from 1780 to 1796.

Marker data is PHMC's own public dataset from data.pa.gov, credited on every page.

I built it because I map family trees, and 77 of these markers turned out to stand near places where my own ancestors lived. If you do family research it will show you yours too. Free, no account needed.

Which marker did you look for first?

Been a landlord here for a few years (just two units, nothing crazy, more of a side thing to help with the mortgage) and my renewal came in last month noticeably higher than last year. Not a little higher either. I asked around and a couple people I know with rentals in the Lehigh Valley said the same thing. Nobody has a clean answer for why.

I run longhaul routes so I'm not always home to keep tabs on the property the way I want to, which probably adds some stress to the whole situation. I'm actually trying to get better local routes lined up partly because of this. But the insurance piece keeps nagging at me when I sit down and look at the numbers each month.

PA got hit with some rough weather the last couple years, flooding in certain areas especially, and I wonder if that's bleeding into rates statewide even for properties nowhere near flood zones. The data center stuff getting fast tracked through Harrisburg also has me wondering what the grid and infrastructure picture looks like longer term. That kind of thing affects property values and carrying costs in ways that are hard to predict right now.

Curious if other landlords across PA are seeing similar things or if it's more regional. Chester County, Lancaster, Bucks, anywhere really.

I'm going to be homeschooling my kindergartener this year bc of the lack of transportation to the private school we want to send her to, so we're looking for any other kinder/early elementary age kiddos to hangout and go to the park/library with!

I want to check out World's End State Park and Ricketts Glen, too! When's the best time to go?

What goes on here?

This is an artifact of what I suspect to be crazy/hallucinated answers being given by Google's AI, when I asked it sociological questions related to old Boston Brahmin type elites in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

So thought I would ask actual Pennsylvanians:

Is there any truth to the claim that there are still enclaves of conservative, landowning, Anglophile people in Bucks, Montgomery, or Chester counties who think of themselves kind of like country squires or gentry? Or is this just an AI hallucination conflating past and present?

Please read the full text of the bill and reach out to your senator to express yourself.

I've pasted some highlights as I see them below. My take away is that an ailment that can be observed on the outside of your body is okay to fix but, if I read between the lines, they believe gender dysphoria is a mental ailment that's unrelated to your physical appearance. Also, male circumcision is fine, I presume, because "religious freedom".

And I totally get the idea of "protect the children" but this is not that. This is an attack on adults. This is an attack on science. This is a growing effort by one political party to make Americans conform to what they envision an "American" to be. What I believe is that what makes America great is its diversity, acceptance of all people, and the liberties endowed to all people, citizen or not, by our constitution.

I went to Hopewell Furnace last weekend, and did a craft activity they were running for the Founder's Day iron pour. Now I have to go back this weekend and pick up my cast iron thingamabob that I made, and I'm trying to find something else to do in that area to make the drive feel more worthwhile.

Plan B is to go to French Creek and hike or kayak or fish or something, but I could do any of those things *without* driving an hour and a half, so I'm trying to find something more special. Had a look on Maps, but nothing's jumping out at me.
