Except that there actually are people with thousands of dollars in outstanding traffic/parking fines (and are still driving around free in those cars).

How? It’s because DC decided it was not equitable to boot and take their cars.

My reaction to any of the ones that have a random passerby interjecting with a mildly offensive witty quip. People here won't intervene when someone's getting aggressively sexually harassed or physically assaulted on the same train as them...they're not going to randomly comment on someone's private convo.

Im sure theres a few in there which are true, but the vast majority are definitely fake and the kind of stuff people think of that makes them sound witty. From a recent post, claiming its overheard in a farmers market: "no ketamine or cocaine? what kind of farmers market is this?" I guarantee you that nobody said this. Nobody.

How many teens go to farmers markets though?

For a while the quipper was always a wise native dcer, while the foolish people were transplants in a transplant job like consulting, which apparently someone overhearing it just knew somehow.

Well I've really had people ask me where the "mall" is. And where the parking lot is.

Then why are you commenting here bud?

What exactly does “fed” mean here? I know it’s often used to refer to FBI agents, but also federal govt employees in general.
Less_Wrong_ t1_itbofs3 wrote
Fed is generally used as FBI or some other intelligence agency like CIA NSA etc
Referring as a ‘Fed’ to a regular federal government worker bee is laughable. PSA: Please don’t refer yourself as a Fed if you work HR at the USDA

Are you really gatekeeping civil service?
Less_Wrong_ t1_itbp5bb wrote
I’m not. You need to get better at reading comprehension.
In common parlance, ‘running away from the feds’ or ‘ feds talking to each other on forums (eg on 4chan feds trolling feds is a meme)’, it refers to intelligence agencies. Not attorneys, statisticians, hr workers, secretaries that happen to work for the federal government

Yea but $40k worth is not believable. They would certainly boot or tow the car way before that.

I mean, if we're talking about "feds trying to bait eavesdroppers," I'm pretty sure everyone would understand the implication is some kind of federal policing agent and not like someone who clerks for a house rep or something
Edit: but I guess that's not really what you were responding to, my bad
