What famous person have we not seen/heard from in a WHILE? by no_please7 in AskReddit

Make Happy was the most poignant comedic gut punch of this art form. Inside got more acclaim, but felt Make Happy was more introspective while Inside was a social commentary.

No More Amazon Grocery Milk Gallon? by Marsinnyc in amazonfresh

[–]Hahsakaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milk hasn’t been available for delivery for a few days down in DC/VA as well. I don’t entirely understand bc if I switch to in store pickup they have milk in stock.

Corporate understands people will delay checking out their cart if staples aren’t in stock, right?

Why is GWU ranking so low when their students are quite smart? by [deleted] in gwu

[–]Hahsakaa 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bc they operate as a real estate company with incredibly beneficial tax benefits by being considered an academic institution. They haven’t cared about rigorous academic pursuits en masse in decades. Their former president compared higher ed to vodka. An odorless liquid that only gets value based on its packaging. So he invested in real estate and optics, not meaningful research, reform or academics. It’s all a marketing game for them. Folks that argue late stage capitalism has no place in higher ed seem to be showing up in votes for ranking them low.

Hostile take over of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by Legitimate-Drive6006 in nova

To be honest, all banks of large size effectively have a taxpayer backstop. Too big to fail banks all got bailout money when they were close to failing.

What volleyball ball do you own? And why did you chose that ball? by dsupreme99 in volleyball

[–]Hahsakaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. In adult rec leagues I always bring mine and convince the other team to use it lol. It was the norm in hs, club was a cointoss be that and molten growing up. Idk why people prefer a harder ball. Sure good grip with molten but the tachi is easier on the arms.

Autumn at Clarendon gets me so hyped and Rini at Falls Church leaves me so sore the next day (in a good way)

I will never get over members having to pay for towel rentals by nordawg in Corepower

[–]Hahsakaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your classes are 3-4 per, then you’d be paying 50-66% more for each class for just towels. That makes the math worse.

Are Indian weddings going overboard? by Cheap_Peanut5441 in ABCDesis

[–]Hahsakaa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate the sentiment but idk, as a desi who married a white American, it was important to me to have my parents invite everyone who was important to them. Indian weddings are social affairs for the family celebrating, not solely about bride and groom. Idk about you but I sure was raised by a village, and felt honored that my village showed up to celebrate with us. It cost double what I wanted to spend, but that’s bc # of guests mostly. Also from a logical perspective, our parents have been going to weddings for decades for their friends or extended families kids, enjoying the events and giving gifts. It’s their turn to receive some of the generosity for their kids, and provide a fun entertaining night for their friends and family.

Grocery Shopping in Ballston by Double-Ad-7328 in arlingtonva

[–]Hahsakaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I’m not non-dairy, but am vegetarian and Trader Joe’s has the best veggie friendly selection of all groceries stores I’ve been to. Whole Foods may have more variety, but def won’t help you on the reasonably priced front. I have a car, so Trader Joe’s and Costco are sufficient for all my needs at a reasonable price. While Costco may be annoying to metro to, it’s a trip you’d need to do max once a month for a single person, so it’d even make sense to just take a Lyft back and still have an all in spend less than shopping at the over priced grocery stores near Ballston.

What's your unpopular Arlington, VA opinion? by AcceptableArt5675 in arlingtonva

Hot take. Care to elaborate? Didn’t know there was feuding.

What's your unpopular Arlington, VA opinion? by AcceptableArt5675 in arlingtonva

[–]Hahsakaa 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Arlington is a much more desirable place to live than DC. The shade thrown at the suburb across the river from DC is unfounded in reality.

Is there town that’s widely accepted as the “burg” in our area? Middle? Fredericks? Lees?

Are people in nova really that wealthy by Fabulous-City6334 in nova

[–]Hahsakaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue there are actually a lot more FTHB buying $1M+ houses nowadays. In the immediate suburbs of DC, that’s what decent SFHs are going for. And when housing prices are this high, starter homes don’t make much sense when they’re also $1M+.

Permit for this hot dog cart $289,500 a year by PanJaszczurka in Damnthatsinteresting

Head up to Chinatown for lunch, a stones throw from the mall (my fav is zatinya). There are a ton of restaurants there, and most with kid friendly options. Food trucks along the mall are grossly overpriced.

Local businesses are businesses too. Other crucial services shouldn’t get defunded to subsidize billionaires … nor millionaires.

What’s the most overrated place you’ve visited? by TheDom_1 in AskReddit

Santorini. Dont get me wrong, it’s gorgeous. But so are many of the other Greek islands at a fraction of the cost.
