We all had a meeting and decided we don't like you coming, either.

Slightly more than the people who exclusively post about crime?

Not coming from a position of strength there, Representative from motherfucking Alabama.

OK Boomer.

Crime post trolls gonna crime post troll.

Because not enough people update their smartphone's dictionary.

Seriously folks, unless you find yourself spending an inordinate amount of time talking about DuPont chemical spills, you'll just look so much better if you don't capitalize that way.

Lol, DC doesn't have any hipsters left. They all booked it to Baltimore years ago. NoMA is yuppie central.

... yes, that was my point.

"At least" means that that percentage describes plenty of people that make well over that.

> 51% of U.S. employees making at least a $100,000 per year reported living paycheck-to-paycheck in December 2022 

This stat might mean something if it didn't realistically include people who say things like "y'know, after paying my bills, maxing out my 401k, backdooring my Roth, investing in my kid's 529, the stock market in general, and then paying the mortgage and car payments... there really isn't much left." Most poor people wouldn't consider the kind of "paycheck to paycheck" that a higher income person describes as anything resembling that.

... having to dig too deep below the Potomac and that Georgetown wasn't considered a work location during the initial design when Metro was primarily considered a way to ferry suburbanites in and out of their DC office buildings?

Yeah, there's just something about annual rituals that I appreciate more as I've grown older. I get why people don't want to go there during all of this, period, but I see it as an opportunity for a beautiful 9 mile run where I'm giving myself permission to stop, enjoy, and take pictures instead of focusing on pushing through and trying to hit a PR.

Yeah, that looks right up there with Geostorm, where a scene is explicitly said to be in Dupont Circle, then shows a shot of the characters positioned on Pennsylvania Avenue facing the Capitol. If studios want a DC location, they also want some sort of shot of something on the Mall too, geography be damned.

Peak troll game. All you needed to do was mention wearing a balaclava to stick the landing.

Lol, so you're just using buzzwords. Great.

Build a bridge, and then get over it.

Haha, wooooow I'm guessing that place is newish, because I remember the convenience store at that location still being one where the employees were behind glass. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm in Bloomingdale.

Unless she wants to admit to "attacking" the president and survivors of school shootings, she undoubtedly was actually just yelled at.

Legends never die.

In fairness, does anyone seriously push that GA's 14th District is too stupid to govern itself and can't be trusted to govern themselves because they elected someone who not only believes the same thing, but also has so, so much worse opinions?

Usually somewhere around a quarter to never, unfortunately.

Best of luck in getting through the day without collapsing to the floor in hysterics over news that someone you don't know died today. I would think that the average person has pretty good odds on that not happening, but you're clearly not even average.

lolwut

Do you know these people? Have you been crying at your desk all morning over the news that 10 more people died YTD compared to last year? Are you in the process of sending flowers to their grieving families?

Or are you just using them as an emotional cudgel to engage in some horseshit pearl-clutching? Because newsflash: understanding how stats works and giving a less emotionally charged example doesn't make me "fucked in the head," but you screeching about a number that lacks context sure as shit just might.

It's ridiculously sensationalized to report it as such when we're talking about going from 25 murders to 35. That's like at the beginning of the baseball season, some players will have 1.000 and look like gods amongst men or .000 batting averages and look like AAA rejects. The stats aren't wrong, they're just lacking meaningful context.

And I wouldn't say that barely being in the top 20 in a nation with a boner for having as many guns as possible makes us "bad," or certainly not as bad as needing a bullshit sensationalized headline about the fact that we've had a whopping 10 more homicides than we did at this point last year.
