Yeah, exactly! That’s why it goes at the beginning, i.e. so you don’t have to read the entire long-ass wall of text to get the point. It’s a courtesy to give readers the main point up front, and then they decide if they want the rest of the details. Ergo, putting after the long-ass wall of text is pointless (and it negates the whole purpose of the construction).

Next time, put the TL;DR at the front where it belongs. Otherwise, don’t include it because it’s useless at the end.

As someone from a very very rural area, honestly I would feel safer in the “worst” parts of Baltimore than I would walking those rural backroads in some situations. Lots of shit can happen and there isn’t a single person for miles to hear a thing.

I’m not sure where you live, but other places (in addition to Balt in a Box) are the “Neighborhood” store in the Inner Harbor area, and I also saw some recently at REI in Timonium if you happen to be out that way.

One thing is clear: You typed some words 🥴 🤔

I’m from Baltimore, live right in the city, and currently you’re the biggest shit show here. Why are you even in this group?

Unfortunately, I'm not very handy with anything other than houseplants 🫣😬 The LL site was helpful, though, just to see some material costs. Appreciate the tip!

Okay, I get that. The timings can be frustrating, especially in certain interactions/areas if you are driving a car. But I walk to places as much as possible instead of driving, and the POV as a pedestrian is honestly scary 😬😂 People drive through red lights way more than any place I can think of (I've lived in a few different cities in the US). I can see how the shitty timings could encourage bad behavior, but I still take issue with people who blatantly ignore traffic laws that are in place for the safety of everyone.

I’ve found that drivers in Baltimore seem to hate any semblance of stop lights.

I almost complained that there wasn’t a “total” score—then I realized I could scroll horizontally! Helpful reviews, thanks!

Yeah, same in terms of the “frustrating” aspect. That’s why I left academia and never looked back! 😎

I worked at UMBC and University of Baltimore for several years, and the pay raises were very very minimal in my experience. Sometimes there was no real increase, and when there was, I honestly don’t remember the exact amount, but I think it’s because it was just so minimal that I didn’t really notice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I taught in the Liberal Arts department in case that matters, but this is my experience with university jobs.
