Mmm those green beans. And properly spicy food!

So they’re voting for themselves and not on behalf of their constituents? I guess that makes sense but I don’t think it’s how democracy is supposed to work…

Why does anyone who lives outside dc care about this bill?

Toki Underground

0 now, but had 1-2 in the past

I know a lawyer who became an elementary school teacher and a lawyer who runs a medical marijuana company

Honestly same, I feel as safe as I always have. I’m also a woman who walks/bikes/metros at night.

For every person that makes me feel slightly uncomfortable there are at least 30 other people out walking around living life and making the city feel full of life and more safe.

I usually just say my job title and explain what the part of the government I work for does and that’s enough and then we can move on to talking about how they would love to see the museums someday

Do you think protests would be outside the White House or somewhere else in the city?

DC is a wonderful city, and you should ignore most of the negativity in this subreddit except the part about how a lot of the cheap apartments on Craigslist are scams. Always see an apt in person before paying any application fees.

That’s how I felt when I worked in a windowless office and commuted surrounded by a depressed crowd of people all dressed in black or grey coats.

Now I work from home and feel the sun on my face most days even in winter

Taqueria Habanero is delicious. I don’t know what the owners look like

It is the best

Walking into the airport is a weird experience. I did it a few times when I worked nearby but it’s kind of hard to navigate your way in. I think it would have been shorter to walk to Crystal city metro and ride one stop than walk up from Crystal drive.

There are something like 20 different police forces in DC, and I think MPD is the one people complain about the most. I mostly hear about them not releasing body cam footage or not following up with people who have reported crimes

Hmm oh ok. I guess I’ve never lived somewhere where it’s fine to just leave your belongings sitting out in the open? Maybe it is a good PSA.

The “crime is getting really out of control” is what sounded alarmist to me. This is common sense advice for DC and has been for a very long time, not a new development.

This is a little bit alarmist? Maybe next time lock your belongings in your car and keep your keys with you instead of leaving your bag outside in a public place.

Edit: I’m saying “Crime is really getting out of control” is alarmist. And suggesting the police are responsible for watching your stuff while you play is a bit much

Wow that’s truly awful. You should name your OBGYN for the OP. Mine is Kenneth Blank, he was good

I went to CWC, it didn’t really hurt, just a pinch and less than getting a shot. They did it during my period (so cervix is more open naturally) and told me to take ibuprofen ahead of time.

Don’t offer rides you don’t want to give. If you offer, then it’s not impolite for your friends to accept

I mean I think people do care about homicide deaths as much or more than biking deaths, but the policies to keep bikers alive (build protected bike lanes, require side guards on trucks so bikers and pedestrians get pushed out of the way, actual criminal consequences for truck drivers that kill people) are much clearer than how to decrease gun violence. Violence prevention is a much trickier issue to address while we already know how to protect bikers and pedestrians more effectively. Drivers just don’t like to drive a safe speed and be forced to share the road with other users or lose the taxpayer-sponsored parking spaces

Oh for real? What was the actual place? I didn’t see any bike lanes on the route while we were in MD

Most of the ride from Bethesda to the Capitol, including the road where the organizers wife died, did not have a bike lane. There were only bike lanes once we were in the last mile
