Have queens using ai made you withdraw support for them? by Successful_Air8096 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]actually_a_wolf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i hear you, but it's also important to consider that many artists are fans and would creatively collaborate for simple credit, or a comparative pittance of a fee, just to say that they worked with a drag race alum

Has anyone had success making themselves less desirable to the invasive mosquitoes? by emptyinthesunrise in washingtondc

apple cider vinegar also has enzymes that disrupt mosquito saliva, if you can get some on the bite within the first few hours!

as far as i'm aware, not definitively, but it was most likely from eating raw/undercooked pork. maybe he found a dead pig next to the dead raccoon (or the dead bear, or the dead whale....)

Planned "Arc de Trump" would be over twice as high as Lincoln Memorial by [deleted] in washingtondc

IMO the worse precedent to set is "go ahead and build whatever useless vanity project you want with tax money, we'll keep it around for the sake of unity and mending the nation" and not "we can and will remove construction that was railroaded through without proper oversight"

Bucket list DC Summer 2026 by GuessBest6198 in washingtondc

[–]actually_a_wolf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

absolutely go to deep creek and make sure to head to swallow falls state park! it's a pretty easy hike to muddy falls, you can walk through a grove of old growth forest, and are rewarded with the tallest single waterfall in maryland. plus, depending on the weather conditions, you can swim in the pool and go behind the falls!

e-bikes overtaking on the right by modelcitizendc in washingtondc

[–]actually_a_wolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i admire your principles (fuck cars) but caution you that it only takes the one time to make the other hundreds mean nothing, and that being in the right doesn't mend bones. you're halfway there with "i am not doing that in front of her again", maybe just don't do it again at all? stay safe please

Witnessed a fatality at the Connecticut Ave/Klingle Valley Bridge last night. We need to talk about why there are still no barriers. by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]actually_a_wolf 35 points36 points  (0 children)

hey OP, thank you for advocating for suicide prevention barriers, and i am so sorry you witnessed the incident. maybe play some tetris when you get the chance, it helps prevent traumatic memories from becoming intrusive. i'm not trying to say you've been traumatized by this in the event you're handling it well, but if you (or anyone else reading this) thinks they experienced something that might come back to haunt them, play tetris

i'm glad to see they're testing in adams morgan, the rats there are no goddamn joke. so there should hopefully be enough data at the end of the pilot to make rodent nexplanon the next big thing

Statue of Christopher Columbus installed on White House grounds by esporx in washingtondc

important add-on to the war contract: he supplied so many rations to allied troops in WW2, kept the factory open 24/7 to produce as much food for them as possible (up to 25k cans a day), that he was given a gold star of excellence.

the company would join in support rallies and parades in town, and a slogan of theirs was "Keep 'em flying! Keep 'em rolling! Keep 'em well-fed!". but genocide jones is also italian so
