Hopefully today is better than the last three days.

Read my comment. Nothing you said disputes anything I said. In fact, it supports what I said.

I'd like more murderers being arrested.

The major problem with policing in this country is that we need more policing, but completely different style of policing. However, whenever we try to get more policing (in terms of budget or officers), they use it badly. That means the only two functional choices is more, brutal policing or less, good policing. That's a terrible choice.

This city's parking enforcement is abysmal. I had a rant about it here earlier this year.

ZooLights was good when I went there in 2017 (and/or 2018?). You could go into the small mammals and reptiles houses. I went in 2019, and it was worse, and now, apparently it's much worse.

Reply to DCA past midnight by Aiorr
Last time I flew into DCA after the metro closed, the taxi was 50% cheaper than Uber. I recommend trying the taxi. It was about $25 to Columbia Heights vs. $50 for Uber.

RCN if you can get it. It's generally pretty great.

NW DC is about 25 square miles. You're going to have to be more specific.

Woodley Hair Style in Woodley Park. I think it's $25 for a men's hair cut. I go there all the time. When I moved to Columbia Heights, I went to the Sport Clips and got the worst hair cut I ever had, so I still go back to Woodley Hair Style.

Reply to Parking enforcement is a joke by djdmed90
7 of the 9 parking tickets I've been issued in DC have been wrong. I've been towed twice because of it, and both times, they couldn't tell me where they towed my car to. One of the times, they didn't even have a record of my car being towed. I had a whole rant about it earlier this year.
Thankfully, I've won every dispute, even if the arbitrator is snotty about it when I am clearly correct and gave a well-supported dispute.

I agree, but honestly, the worst ones are "The weather is so nice outside. Go outside." Those OP's can fuck right off.

I didn't say that though.
Y'all just don't like when you have to change how you operate too.

So you don't actually care about the safety of bikers?

I'm saying it's the same for cars, bikes, and pedestrians. If you're going to say it's not crazy for pedestrians, I'm going to say it's not crazy for cars, and vice versa.

Bikers in this subreddit: "How dare you say that bikers could do anything on their own to be safer!"
Just last week, I had a biker run a red light as I turning. Would have hit them if I hadn't hit the breaks. But most fuck cars people would blame me for that.

It's actually pretty easy to see if anybody is approaching most of the time.

That's a non sequitur. Thanks for playing.
