... dude, no. Your username makes this worse.

While I won't claim to be an expert, Plan B pills work by introducing artificial forms of a progesterone in order to simulate your body's response to already being pregnant. This in turn prevents ovulation. Estrogen isn't a part of the equation.

Something that I read recently (that I'll just throw out there in case I need to be corrected by someone with more knowledge on the matter), but that would also mean that Plan B doesn't work if a woman is already ovulating. Which is... mildly frustrating.

It's all in the petition: AlertDC, announcements on social media and websites, as well as issuing press releases in advance. Guess I'd mistakenly assumed that they did this already, like any other responsible organization might.

No, that's just trying to keep up with the Joneses Georgetown.

That bus station tends to attract some strange folk but honestly friendship heights is pretty calm. Seems like a one off in my opinion.

>Not true, but even if it was, you think being YOKED is parallel in consequence to having a baby??

what's not true? steroids' are using estrogen to spur on muscle growth or morning after pill doesn't increase estrogen production?

and where did I say any of this is a bad thing? As far as I'm concerned steriods should be legal and available for those who want them and those who don't partake in amateur athletics

Stop hoping for a fist fight.

Wtf are you talking about. This is “old man yells at cloud” coded

there is no way he didn’t give up someone/something else for that.

When it was first conceived and piloted in other cities, it was never supposed to apply to violent crimes. It was supposed to reduce the devastating lifelong impacts of imprisonment on young people making bad decisions with non-violent crimes.

DC took the YRA a step further and applied it to violent criminals, ensuring that there are no real consequences for gun crimes and violence.

That’s the funny thing about “progressives” who support gun laws: they refuse to accept that ENFORCING gun laws is part of the equation and that this includes punishment for criminals using illegal guns and committing crimes with guns.

(edit: typos)

No but seeing a relatively boring comment about common well documented propaganda techniques and feeling so personally attacked you have to comment probably does 😂

White DC leads the nation in ‘talking the talk but not walking the walk.’ Only the Bay Area comes close.

I'm glad you didn't suffer any physical aggression.

They are turning all those buildings on DC side into residential. Also, down near Rodmans

This! True Crime has made women paranoid that there's a monster around every corner. I'm a 30 y/o woman and of course I keep my wits about me when I'm walking alone, as anyone should, but the constant anxiety of there being a predator lurking and waiting to catch you is so unhealthy. Being smart is good, being paranoid is not

City white noise is different than obtrusive and constant disturbances.

No one would willing rent an apartment if they knew specifically there was going to be someone singing loudly for most of the day outside their window.

It’s completely reasonable for someone to rent or buy a place, experience the environment as it is, agree to stay there, then be upset when that environment changes.

I have numerous friends mugged during those years. Not great, Bob!

But it did get me out of jury duty for a mugging case.

People at my office are fucking insane. They start emailing at 7am and flip out if you don't respond by 10. It's always the lowest stakes things, too, and they insist that their thing must take priority over everything else. I start my work day at 10, specifically by request of my department head so that we have evening coverage.

Honestly, I think I'm just going to set up repeating out-of-office events on my calendar to be clear about my working hours and shut off notifications prior to when I start work because the anxiety of waking up to that many messages is unbearable.

If anyone has any ideas for setting up teams and/or outlook to let people know that you're not available at the ass crack of dawn, please let me know.

wild. agree it’s shady, but wonder if the message mentioned anything about agreeing to the terms by staying on the line? agree worth reporting to DC AG

A fun snippet from Ghosts of DC where a resident of Columbia Heights is complaining about street name changes when the city absorbed what had been a "suburb" prior to that time:

>Judge McCalmont led the opposition to the resolution. “This thing of having mathematical accuracy to everything I do not believe in,” he said, with considerable emphasis. “The scheme of naming these streets Yale, Harvard, and Princeton was a good one. They are significant of nice schools, names of colleges held in affection, and why should they not remain? I believe that the people should have something to say in the naming of their streets. Our people know enough to find the way home.” He held up for ridicule the A B C system and the lack of sentimentality which the names would possess.

From a letter to the Washington Post in 1904.

Harvard St. is still there, but the rest of the names were changed. I always wondered about Kenyon Street and Dartmouth Street. Because they were tucked in with a lot of other college names, they might have been legitimately named for those two schools as well. Columbian College (which was moved and became GW) used to be there and was the namesake of the area.

Even PoPville, as slow as Dan is to post some things, post about the flyovers in the mornings.

Wishing you lived in a safer cleaner neighborhood that’s gotten noticeably worse in the last 5 years doesn’t make you a conservative brigadier. -Longtime DC resident.

Sounds like something a Pizzagate believer would tell you 🤦🏽‍♀️

OP: I have this issue in all cities; NYC, Richmond, DC, etc. I would suggest restarting your phone and then opening maps to use. It always works for me.

It is fairly common if you have a lot of tall buildings around you. It always takes a while for the gps to match my location when coming out of a garage. Have had similar issues in nyc and Philly. I listen to mostly satellite radio and I do notice more “dead spots” in dmv than other areas.
