Reply to comment by Kief- in People in DC with a Master's degree make less than the average DC salary? by jdeeebs

Of course, I’m sure 120k+ AP starting positions exist. I didn’t say AP positions are strictly in the 90-110k range. That’s the ballpark and you can find observation points above and below that range.

My point was that PhDs often choose a lower comp even when outside option is available, which is a different situation from master’s. E.g. Business professors with 180k+ salary can find higher paying positions in industry if they wanted to leave academia. So wouldn’t you agree masters vs PhD salaries are not comparable because of the selection bias?

Reply to Middle Schoolers Robbed at Gunpoint for Their Shoes in DC by gnucheese

TL;DW: This happened at the Eliot-Hine Middle School in DC. Four men in a car pulled up outside the school. At least one of the criminals exited the vehicle with a gun and carried out an armed robbery on the premises of the school (apparently outside the building but on school property). They stole several pairs of expensive shoes, taking them right off the student owners' feet. No description of the perpetrators was provided, but anyone with information about the crime should call the police.

An attack itself is harmful, even in the absence of a physical injury.

It emotionally impacts OP because the simple every day act of walking their dog is no longer peaceful…they have to be on guard for their neighbor’s aggressive dog that is allowed to randomly roam loose on the street.

Repeated attacks (even without physical injury) will likely result in the dog being attacked developing aggressive behaviors.

There is way more to this than “dog feel no ouchie hurtie, it no big dealy wheelie,” and it is not moronic to expect dogs to be kept on leash in public spaces.

I prefer a high value DC sub with interesting questions, even if they aren't relevant to me.

I don't think this has anything to do with me being smarter (I had no idea these services exist prior to my Google search) , but it seems reasonable, to me at least, for people to put just an ounce of effort into their posts.
