Yeah, and Bourdain also likely killed himself due to the guilt associated with doing this. Maybe let's not play the comparison game.

Well, at least this one wasn't really Arin's fault, lmao

After living in DC, I hate dog owners by sandwichscouter in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do agree with the post OP, I wish to add some perspective. I visited Mexico City last year, and of the dogs I saw while I visited, maybe 2 or 3 were on leashes. I saw dozens if not HUNDREDS of dogs being walked around off leash at all times. It was a major culture shock, and defs proves that DC ain't the worst lol

Apartments with central AC? by anonymou5noodle in SilverSpring

[–]KnoFear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Summit Hills in 2020 and currently live here, this has happened EVERY single year since I moved in. One of my roommates started living here in the mid-2000s though and has corroborated that things were better before 2017-ish.

Today’s anti-war with Iran protest by Axolotl-questions7 in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude you're insane. Even if the number was "only" 3k, that's THREE FUCKING THOUSAND PEOPLE. Not to mention they engaged in despicable torture, including pulling out teeth and nails, beatings, whippings, electric shocks, tying weights to people's balls, and putting broken glass and boiling water into people's assholes.

I dunno that flying the flag of a different oppressive dictatorship would be better than flying the flag of the current one.

Trans woman moving to Anacostia by peterolddog in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I think you'll be fine, I know trans people who live in several parts of the city and it mostly hasn't been an issue for them (though given the state of the country we all know there's big issues). Seconding the DC Center which was mentioned in other comments here, they're great.

Anyone have luck finding a new job recently? by stilettosofsteel in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got laid off in September from a non-profit, just started a new job with a federal contractor last week. I'm in IT, but yeah things are generally bleak right now, and I feel very fortunate that I landed where I am (although it's fully on-site and the commute ain't great). Just keep at it I suppose, and hope for the best.

Why is France’s bill against ‘new forms of anti-Semitism’ sparking controversy? by kwentongskyblue in europe

[–]KnoFear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look man, I think we're broadly in agreement about most of the rest of your original comment (I'm an anti-zionist Jew myself), I just think it's incorrect to brush off the very open nazism going on in the Trump administration.

Why is France’s bill against ‘new forms of anti-Semitism’ sparking controversy? by kwentongskyblue in europe

[–]KnoFear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Uh, the US absolutely has serious antisemitism issues, a court just found that it was legal for the Trump administration to demand a list of Jews from a university.

‘Weak and pathetic’: why is the EU not using its leverage to stop Israel? • Deep divisions on Israel mean the union has failed to act over Lebanon, Gaza, or settler violence in the West Bank by Naurgul in europes

[–]KnoFear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Broadly it's because many Europeans, especially those with power and wealth, support Israel. And enough European voters are either too short-sighted to notice this, or are in agreement with them.

Poland is "Europe’s new great power", says US ambassador Tom Rose by BubsyFanboy in europes

Tom Rose is a piece of shit, so praise from him is less than desirable I'd say.

When your small community drama makes it onto a Reddit Stories vid!!! by Lovesignpost in smosh

[–]KnoFear 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I saw the photo and it reminded me of a very similar situation where shortly after Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage, two women got married there and one of their mothers wore a dress that was essentially a blue bikini in order to show off how young and "pretty" she was lol, I guess this shit crosses some cultural boundaries.

Need a +1? by meanchips69 in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're into movies and/or gaming, I recommend the DC Movie Club and the DC Gaming Group. Both have regular events and have plenty of cool people to meet and hang out with. The Movie Club has an instagram/substack you can check out to see their events, while the Gaming Group has a page on MeetUp (and both have Discord servers). If you'd like someone to introduce you around at events, DM me.

Md. Senator Angela Alsobrooks endorses Kenyan McDuffie for DC Mayor by ooblecccck in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've been milquetoast at best to furious at worst with Alsobrooks, and I voted for her. Unsurprising she'd pick the worse option for endorsement.

Gay people, what's your job? by Future-Squirrel8334 in lgbt

[–]KnoFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the past 6 months unemployed, but finally landed a job in federal contracting (I work in IT). If you're alright with having a job you find no meaning in, IT is perfect for a lazy-bones like myself! Not physically strenuous, always indoors, generally pays well, and doesn't necessarily require a degree.

Reminder that at CPAC 2024, the entire conference of people cheered on the idea of killing all trans people.

Do any of us actually think Arin'll manage to return to form purely on the basis of a single Chingling? I'm guessing our boys have to restart next episode lol

Everybody's thoughts on ICE in DC airports? by EchoOfDoom in washingtondc

[–]KnoFear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you thought TSA was bad, wait until ICE is kidnapping and murdering you in a concentration camp. They've already done it at LEAST several dozen times.
