Opposite. Live a 15 minute walk to a metro stop but hardly use it because it doesn’t go to the places I need and it takes 2-3x longer than driving.

Honestly, this is a very good thing, and we don’t see good traffic/car decisions often! This will MASSIVELY reduce congestion on M and hopefully let cars flow through there easier.

Now to the question of enforcement…

Won’t someone think of the Apple Stores? 😢

The poor plants.

Good.

It’s nothing. It’s a way to write about the problem (so you can say you covered it to deflect criticism) without actually saying anything about the problem. Same reason we blame PaReNtInG.

Neoliberal outrage at its finest. Peacocking about the problem without seriously examining the causes behind it or even beginning to address solutions.

Some of us got laid off so we’re already halfway there!

Hard to charge a cop when the other cops and judges are sympathetic.

👌🏼

You think if someone’s coming at you with a pipe and you have enough time to shoot them, we haven’t figured out anything less destructive and less lethal than that, in 2023, that could keep you and the suspect both alive?

That’s just silly.

That cop sure did make things better. /s

I’d be SO INTO THIS except no one will give a fuck.

They were good when they were just a ghost kitchen. Strictly lackluster now, so this is pretty appropriate.

So underrated!!

Agree. It’s hipster hunting lodge vibes in there.

Eh. I mean i don’t even know what I’d complain about, I didn’t get a plate or a badge number or anything.

How the hell do you know that the person who got hit doesn’t care?
Maybe the person didn’t speak English. Maybe they were afraid of a confrontation. I know I sure as hell would think twice about getting out of my car in DC if I’d just been hit and the other car wasn’t already making the gestures. Maybe one or both of them just didn’t know what to do next.

If I got hit in the middle of a busy intersection and wasn’t really sure what to do, and a cop saw it and just shrugged and drove off, that wouldn’t increase my feelings of confidence or safety, or help me in any way. But heaven forbid we suggest the police actually help people.

In any sane world, a public safety person being in the immediate vicinity of a car accident would be a good thing, even if all it meant was 2 minutes of “everyone good? You both got insurance, you can work this out? Cool, do you need a tow or a push to the shoulder or you got this? Right on, shit happens, stay safe.”

The sub is FILLED with horror stories about car accidents and policy apathy. Clearly it’s a bigger issue than this one accident and it isn’t always some trivial body damage we can all shrug about.

But heaven forbid we want to make the city a better place for someone other than ourselves or our immediate friends/family, or holy shit, someone we’ve never met.

Better to just make excuses about why this isn’t anyone else’s problem and pretend everything’s hunky dory, right?

And clearly saying “hey maybe this cop could’ve spent 5 minutes checking on that accident that occurred 20 feet from his car” is saying “officers should spend all their time on meaningless traffic citations.”

Yeah because clearly it’s either/or.

I mean everyone definitely wasn’t, there was for sure crumpling and damage on both cars, but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah “hit and run” might not be the right word. It felt like no one knew what to do and eventually everyone just scattered. I would have loved to see the cop just check in with all parties involved and make sure no one was hurt, but, clearly that’s not the world we live in.

How absolutely odd. Do you bring your own turkey? And they just fry it? I've never heard of such a thing!

If you take your turkey, make sure it's 100% thawed and patted dry! Good luck!

I grew up in Reno NV and it's one of the rare international airports that's in the middle of town. Literally right next to the Costco. 15 minute drive from almost anywhere in town, and it's small enough that getting your gate takes about 15 minutes.

I'm very spoiled and it was a rude awakening realizing that most airports are situated outside metro areas and take at least an hour to get to.

DCA spoils me again, usually. It's a gem.

Oh you’re completely right. Not disagreeing with any of 👆🏻.

You have a good weekend.
