There are professionals who can treat anxieties. I think a small dose of exposure to whatever the fear is will help. People who constantly stay at home and just doom scroll would benefit from interaction with the outside world more. They’ll slowly associate that with something positive. They’ll probably see that going outside doesn’t pose an immediate threat.

Plus most people are more than happy to help if you feel lost/confused. It’s almost 2-3 times a week someone asks me directions on the train. Always happy to help!

So you’re saying your insurance would rather pay for your death expenses than replacing your airbags? Fucking state farm is wild these days.

Thank you so much! I’ll look into the restaurants and see if they have cash jobs.

Doordash and alike companies in other industries (pet sitting, food delivery, etc.) all require SSN, unfortunately. And according to regulations I can’t have taxable income outside campus job (which I have, but it’s a grad student stipend), and field-related job/internship during the summer.

Even outside the city, it's hard to find. I have a OneLife membership and I have to go to Tysons for a court. They have an indoor court in Bethesda as well but it sucks.

This is what really gets me about DC’s response to property crimes. Not everybody just goes to insurance or has money to replace things. Good luck OP. Depending where you come from, you might be able to find a cash job with others of your countrymen at restaurant etc.

Echostage, Soundcheck, Flash, Owl Room, Nu Android. I think there are some more underground things, but I don't really follow that community much. But I think you can find events on instagram.

Okay so is that “no basis”?
There were 103 murders in DC in 2013 and 221 in 2021. That’s over double in 9 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Washington,_D.C.
So I guess we accept you were wrong at this stage?

“Then 2015-2019, the number of murders stayed statistically static” — LOL, do a three year rolling average please. You’ll see exactly what I’m describing, murders go up while the number of cops go down.
Also I’m going to assume the “actually murders went down after the crack epidemic of the 90s subsided” argument is trolling so I won’t bother to address it (for your sake I hope you’re not actually making this argument).

Lol…you aren’t equipped for this.
Peak DC cop numbers were 1999. It’s been slowly declining since.
Yet murders steadily declined for the next 13 years despite MPD losing hundreds of cops.
Less cops yet fewer murders for 13 years. Explain.
Then 2015-2019, the number of murders stayed statistically static, despite MPD losing hundreds more. Explain.
Your argument is juvenile and o Lu works if you exclude decades of data precovid and data showing the murder rate increase in DC for that 2 year Covid period was mirrored exactly across the cities in the rest of the nation. It was a national trend, not a local anomaly.
Back to the kids table son, the adults are speaking.

I know there was that clusterfuck with the dc crime lab. I’m surprised DC / MD / VA aren’t pooling their resources for some of these tools / labs that all the departments rely on.
Is there much cooperation and communication on this stuff between all the jurisdictions? Seems like that would be helpful but I have no clue.

I think it's just because the stations, past east falls church (?) are just really far apart. There's the cluster around Tysons, and then it's a 5-10min ride to the next one, and 3-5 min between each one after to the airport.

Unlike DC, convicted car jackers in MD and VÀ actually get years of jail time.

They do! I’ve applied for financial assistance, but not sure I’ll get it since I’ve previously received money to help with dental/medical expenses.

I went cheap and totally regretted it. They still charge by the hour and could not be slower.
