I imagine it varies but I’ve never had a major credit card company require me to file a police report and have always had them immediately reimburse me the amount. If they care enough to track down the issue (a high enough threshold), they usually investigate it themselves and get the money from the vendor or elsewhere.

I think the same can be said for almost all metro cities in America. The things DC is going through aren’t unique on the macro level.

They can say no sloppy steaks, but they can’t stop you from ordering a streak and a glass of water!

Witnessed a new DC-specific traffic encounter over the weekend. A cop car put on its lights and sirens to pull over a Volkswagen, and instead of pulling over, the car sped into the other lane and left! The cop car then turned off its lights and turned away. That would never happen where I am originally from. Just wild.

Just get off this subreddit, things really aren’t as bad as people make the seem. Practice basic street smarts (e.g., be mindful of your surroundings) and everything is fine.

Sounds like a great idea! Let's get this to more campuses, paired with realistic sex ed, so that they aren't using this as a condom replacement.

Actually it was for a government contract position part of HHS. Coming from working with nonprofits and corporate it’s still odd.

I was kind of surprised when I saw the new Modo building at Georgia Ave Station has only three bedroom apartments. I guess everyone else is ignoring that market and there is a (small) niche.

This.

Y'all wanted density. This is how you get density.

Personality tests certainly aren’t common, but I had to do one once that was administered over the phone by Gallup. Was annoying because it was a bunch of “agree, neutral, disagree” questions that could have been done online, but nope, I had to do it over the phone on a Saturday morning at 8:30 and it took over an hour. I feel your pain though. I don’t even know why they did it. It was a white collar office job, not like I was trying to become a spy for the CIA.

If you ever have this question. Let the other person order first and order the same thing like you’re illiterate

I haven’t looked at apartments in quite a while, but I remember those nice, big, older rentals on the market in NW. Way more character in those buildings too.

We were never “fancy” new building people, but once you taste in unit laundry, there’s no going back.

Wow crazy most murderers have their ccw absolutely insane that this guy didn’t

Nearly half a century. He'll have to serve at least 20 years before he'd be eligible for parole. Then he'd still have to serve the additional 25 years.

Decades ago, deinstitutionalization was the humane alternative. Now we seem to be circling back. I think today institutionalization can be done humanely, but we need the political will and funding to start and sustain it.

Thankfully, I found an adorable country girl with a heart of gold in the middle of all this mess in my late 40s.

When I first moved here I dated this one woman who was unemployed and living off of a trust from her parents. She had a PhD in something or other (that her parents paid for), and asked me "Will it be OK if I am making more money than you when I get a job?". I thought to myself, "Bitch, you're unemployed, living off of your parents money and are in your late 40s. Feel free to try to impress me."

I was a GS-13 at the time and 20 years into my career with a pension to look forward to. I'm also the type of guy that would happily be into a relationship with someone that made more money than me, but the way she asked that question made me feel like she was looking down on me.

Starting to feel frustrated with job recruiters and tidal wave of rejections. One even asked to take a personality and aptitude test, which I never heard a firm did. At least I’m keeping my anxiety in check or would be in a total meltdown.
