Reply to comment by BruxBlonde in Breakfast To Go by waitwhatttt
what? to each their own but these (specifically from this location, not sure about others) are some of the worst breakfast items ive ever had. they're the size of a pinky finger and each time i have to peel the tortilla off the foil. its been about six months since ive been, and at the time they were coming out of a steamer which i thought was incredibly weird. maybe they've changed since then.

The public recs and public pools are fantastic, at least my neck of the woods.

very few of them are. huge misperception IMO. like, do you think a 28-32 year old guy likes dating a a 22-23 year old? there's huge difference in life experiences between early and late 20s.

they seem to be conflating vouchers and shelters. not exactly sure how someone would do a bed check for a voucher recipient lol.
​
either way, i don't have any insight into shelters but have plenty of experience with addiction via family members. listening to people on here you'd think shelters are military boot camps. my guess is the rules exist not for the people who struggle to follow them, but for everyone else trying to maintain sobriety and stability. like yeah, no shit you can't be high and stay in a shelter, or wander in at 3am, or bang your girlfriend, and so on. people following the rules are trying to get their shit together and youre being an asshole. that said, as mentioned i don't have experience with them, so i could be totally off.

I'd love to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about here.
Is the issue with potential jury selection? I.e. do prosecutors think there's a bigger risk of losing in a jury trial vs the plea (yes, despite the evidence).

They might as well just lean into it and include places in Philly, Asheville, Charleston and Toronto

Good for them to be leading clean-up efforts, but lol at WashPo's circa 2020 clickbait framing.
Articles like these make me feel like DC has a real gap in local journalism. We can't get an investigative deep dive into, say, where the $200M per year for housing, but we can get a graphic mapping out four abandoned cars.
​
"At least four abandoned vehicles are rusting in Southeast Washington." lol
​
Edit: $200M per year for affordable housing, not writ large homeless. fixed that. referring to the two year $400M plan bowser announced in 2021.

Reply to comment by revbfc in Why are QAnoners trying to save Hardy Park…or am I missing something? by weirdfish1995
it appears to be making fun of the fervor and convoluted arguments of the pro-park group

its a joke, folks
​
edit: for the classic wound-way-too-tight redditors. the point is that its a joke, whether you find it funny or unfunny. half the thread are people unironically thinking its serious. (i personally think its kind of funny, if you think its a pro-school person mocking the save hardy park side, given what I've read of the "no new school" positions)

No, more like you monitor the jobs list and use your network to get your application into the hiring manager. In the Senate in my experience (albeit a while ago) the staff manager plus LD or deputy CoS would be running the search

Going to give some contrarian advice. In my experience the best way to work on the hill is go do something else first that builds a network and puts you in hill staff orbit. When positions become open, use connections to get your application in front of an actual person.
Submissions via websites and job lists is virtually 0, I had interview hit rate of about 50% when going thru real people. Wasn't always the right fit but got the interviews.

This is what people who bring up aggregate crime stats to imply people shouldn't feel unsafe don't seem to grasp.
​
Incidents like these are 10x (or greater?) more likely than "being the victim of a crime", and they are terrifying, and of course you feel unsafe, and they never funnel up into crime stats.
