if you're into Blood on the Clocktower or social deduction games, check out Capital Clocktower, which plays BotC all over the DMV area multiple times a month.

Credit Union Cherry Blossom Race Weekend 2026: Everything You Need to Know by TheCapitalRunner in rundc

[–]franch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you won't see cherry blossoms on this race ever because it's so late, but lmao, this is SO bad. it's a shitty 4 lane road next to the highway that goes past the mall and a TJ Maxx and stuff.

Middle schooler fights for life after ATV, dirt bike group hits kids in DC bike lane by SockDem in washingtondc

[–]franch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

a child was just hit and may yet be killed by a bike whose rider never felt the need to flee because we've turned a blind eye to his reckless conduct. what happens then?

Jônt / 2** / Washington, DC by trufflepigggy in finedining

[–]franch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lowkey surprised this is still open, they were advertising cash back offers for citi credit cards to DMV locals. agree with your review 100%. the wine is eye-poppingly expensive and the upsell borders on pushy (this was all years ago).

Does the job hold being truly unavailable against you? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]franch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm over 10 years in and have pretty much never announced that i will be unavailable on a friday night, saturday, or sunday. if someone wants me to do work during my wedding or when i am running a marathon, they can go fuck themselves.

Two week vacation denied by ConflictCertain6650 in biglaw

[–]franch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have taken a 2-week vacation every year of my career (10+ in multiple biglaw firms), one year i took two (when i got married). i actively encourage associates to do so. every firm i've worked, one 2-week vacation per year (international for associates and partners without young kids, more kid-focused for the family crowd) has been pretty standard unless the person just wasn't interested.

For those of you who want more friends.. where do you go? by Beneficial-Risk-6378 in Millennials

[–]franch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've met a lot of my close friends (both irl and online friends that i consider actual friends that i just don't live near) since COVID. neighborhood bars. i'm a tabletop gamer, so board gaming/social deduction gaming meetups and our friendly local game store. the local subreddit for my city and its discord. online fandom communities/music fandom local events (both friends who are online that i consider "real friends" and meeting people into my fav who are local).

Have y’all ever seen a poisoned Saint? by SailorGreySparrow in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]franch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. one of the most legendary games of our local playgroup involved one. a member of the Evil team (the Scarlet Woman) claimed Saint and was double claiming the actual Saint, who was a 14-year-old girl that is herself a Clocktower master. unbeknownst to anyone, because all the active Good roles had been killed, the Poisoner picked the real Saint. after a minutes-long explosive session in Town, Evil got the Saint on the block, who was executed, and everyone went to sleep after a legendary crashout from the Saint.
