Yeah, it reminds me that DCist article that came out about places you could explore using the new Silver Line extension, and nearly every single one said "and then take a 10 minute Uber." Kinda missing the point there.

I like below ground just because of the summer and winter weather, but that also costs more. So above ground whenever they can, I guess.

New England needs its own time zone, because it is an affront against God and nature for the sun to start setting by 3:45 in December.

Reply to comment by overnighttoast in Opinion | D.C. needs more bike lanes, and fast by Maxcactus
> Meanwhile black residents who have continued to be pushed further and further away from the city center, many of whom have cars were never given the same consideration or benefits
The biggest cause for delays in constructing bike lanes for decades has been churchgoers from "Ward 9," and their influence has only diminished in the last 3 years. Wtf are you even talking about?

It's a pretty straightforward bus ride from around the NoMA Metro stop, but then you're dealing with two legs of a trip.

Ignoring that in no way am I including Pennslytucky and West Virginia in this discussion, income tax is still higher in VA up to 85k or so, and MD's is pretty much always higher than DC's due to local income taxes.

That's... not how murders work, actually.
Additionally, I always love that the crime troll poster's line always seems to be "crime rate reporting was accurate before covid, but now it's obviously wrong and under-reported because, reasons." Kind of the same logic as a certain someone and unemployment reporting...

> I said I was "socially liberal but fiscally conservative." Now, I would never dare say that.
Probably because that stopped being a valid political opinion at least 10+ years ago?
I've only gotten more liberal as I've gotten older. Most "conservative arguments" about welfare end up being an argument for reform, not repeal. And I'm not going to shed any tears for someone making over 250k paying slightly more in taxes.
What did bother me was this area deciding that support for mask mandates was an easy proxy for political leanings. I appreciated that DC was one of the first places to start shutting down. I found it downright bizarre that it took so long to reach new phases.
Also, Youngkin isn't a "strong leader." Wtf. He hasn't done jackshit since getting elected because Democrats still control half of the GA. He's destined to end up like McDonnell if the 2023 elections go his way, but he seems more okay with that given how he has stumped with election deniers.

Yeah, some of those sidewalks are so ridiculously slanted that I've been worried about twisting an ankle when running on them.
... which has meant that I'm running on the road against traffic.

I feel like it would never even occur to me to ask for a ride from someone's apartment, especially in the city itself. Even when I'm visiting friends in the burbs and didn't have a car, I would generally use public transit to get there and Uber to get back.

I didn't realize that geographical designations also included "does a magazine feature them in a dining feature." I'll be sure to keep that in mind for your future pedantry.
