Not every celebration of drinking means the person's an alcoholic.

Source: two years sober last week.

Get on the Metro and get on the first train going east.

From Capitol South, Cheverly is 16 minutes, Capitol Heights is 14 minutes. From Eastern Market or Potomac Ave it'll be even less.

It's a celebration, not a newscast. At least that's how I look at it. It's just another version of "here's a notable thing happening in our city."

Just take your closes metro ride

And my non-alcoholic axe!

Yeah, you could gamble on cholesterol taking you down after taking down a burger at Busboys and Poets or some cheesy grits at Open Crumb!

Or gamble on ventricular tachycardia after pounding too many coffees at the Starbucks or the Capital One Cafe!

Who knows, maybe a sculpture could fall on you and take you out at the Honfleur Gallery or a stage light could drop on you at the Anacostia Playhouse!

I guess you're right, there are many dangers we might not think about in a vibrant and fun community like Anacostia. Or were you just regurgitating a tired, racist, completely unoriginal trope?

Pretty typical DC mindset “it’s all about me”- on a global website. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks. Never tried but there are those who say you can:

Anacostia is in DC...

Sometimes I swing by Cameo when they open at 8am to get a coffee, and even then there’s people with laptops ready to set up shop in a booth made for a group of customers. The audacity is wild.

Well that’s embarrassing for you then idk what else to say. HiGh VaLuE sUbReDDiT where god forbid anyone has any questions.

Imagine being this pretentious………..

calling someone out for being an asshole is not the same as being an asshole lmao

This was controversial in the '90s when some cafe owners and patrons would argue whether a cafe or communal space should turn into what some referred to as a Zombieland...people stuck to their computers. Some would have a no laptop policy and others would turn the wifi off after a certain hour or some days. Pretty well estabished that turnover of clients is usually required to run a business and that somebody with a laptop there for hours might eat/drink much less, compared to 3-5 patrons over same time.

Even now there are companies trying to block time out for people with dedicated space/power outlet if you sign up for a meal/coffee service plan. Some cafes/etc in Paris will kick you out for even taking out a laptop and jam area wifis and block sockets.

Looks like owner is trying to accomodate both.

This! I was at Foxtrot yesterday and the lady next to me was having a full Teams meeting in the seating area. I support WFH but people should certainly read the room and be courteous to others.

I did some grading/work yesterday at a cafe while I waited for my bike to get fixed two doors down. The person next to me was in a meeting the entire time. Granted, they were using headphones with a mic - it was still like sitting next to someone talking on the phone.

I suppose it’s not different than sitting next to two people talking so idk

You can also download the CharmPass app on your phone and buy your ticket and store it through the app. If you prefer to buy it at the station there are multiple easy to use kiosks right by the exits marked specifically for the Marc Train.

Considering government is one of the biggest employers and values experience over education, you can have someone with an Associate’s degree who works their way up over time to a high GS level with good salary. LOTS of government jobs without degree requirements where one can raise to high levels over time and with non-degree training.

I graduated the year after the 2008 crisis. When I went in to the PhD there was still the fantasy that if you did well and worked hard, you could get an academic job. Not only did that evaporate, but they kept evaporating with fewer and fewer and fewer every year since.

Feeling the same as you, where a PhD is either a curiosity that nobody cares about, or is seen as an active hindrance to getting a job. I hate it so much.

Don't think you're an asshole, but I also think they have a right to do this.

Online sports betting went live Thanksgiving Weekend in Maryland.

Fanduel, Draftkings, MGM and Caesars.

Caesars has garbage new account bonuses; MGM is the most generous (lots of free bets for deposits).

Orange/Silver/Blue line to Rosslyn probably.

If the Yellow was open I’d say go to Pentagon City mall, grab Starbucks/McDs whatever you want and place your bets there.

There's also the MARC train that goes between BWI and Union; usually you can buy a ticket at the station right before as well

Which figures it's been beautiful most of the week and tomorrow when I actually have plans it's gonna be freezing again.
