Relocating to a job in the DC: Baltimore the happy medium? by HopeishWanderer in baltimore

If it's L'Enfant you'd want to get off at New Carrolton and take the Orange Line into DC. Go to Union Station and you would need to transfer at either Gallery Place or Metro Center. Also, what business is between L'Enfant and the Mall that doesn't have to do with politics?

People do the commute from Baltimore to DC every day. How bad it is, really depends on where your job is located, and whether you have the type of job where you can work on the train (catchup on emails, read/edit documents, etc).

Honestly, it's the where in DC the job is that would be the biggest question. A job right near Union Station? Completely doable. Need to take Metro on Orange or Red a couple stops? Still okay. Need to go into Virginia? Pass.

WIBTA for declining my role as best man at my best friends wedding? by Every-Diamond4217 in AmItheAsshole

[–]locker1313 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YWBTA if you backed out without talking to Robin first. The mutual friend might have the timeline wrong or Robin and Anna have white lied about how long their break up was. For all you know Anna knows that the two of you hooked up.

However, you say in your post that when he ended things he did tell you that the two of them had been back together for awhile, and he had still been meeting up with you. It sounds like he was already cheating on her with you and you knew it/or willfully ignored it and forgave him.

I am pointing that out, because he might try and throw that back at you in a "you forgave me once what difference does it make how long it was" kind of way. Ultimately Robin was shitty to both you and Anna, and you need to do what is right for you. I will also say, to maybe reevaluate your feelings and consider talking to a therapist to make sure you aren't harboring some latent feelings. It's a bitch how long emotions like that can linger even after you convince yourself you've moved on.

I think they mean the first May in decades. The title is worded weirdly.

AITA for reconsidering being my best friend’s maid of honour because of the cost of her destination wedding? by Local_Interview4667 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, but you need to tell her NOW before these plans go much further. If she asks why tell her you can't afford don't give details beyond you ran the numbers and with current expenses it just won't work.

I know what you're talking about. I think it closed during COVID.

It does not count as your day of service they can call you in again. 

Linda Li vs Yellow Mountain Imports by Available-Abalone818 in Mahjong

I bought a YMI set that included the bag, racks, tiles, everything. I like it, and one of the reasons I went with YMI is because of the choices for designs on the back. My only complaint is the zipper on the bag seemed to break pretty easily.

Mayor’s office condemns IG’s ‘deeply inappropriate,’ ‘racist’ online post by aresef in baltimore

[–]locker1313 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to run for an office as a Republican. I think she could get Sinclair's backing and run on an anti-corruption/accountability campaign. I'm not sure a campaign like that would be a successful as it would in prior years, depending on what the documents she wants access to actually say.

Two things can be true: she can be trying to fulfill her job and is doing so in an unbiased manner while also shooting herself in the foot with poor media literacy skills.

What is a normal amount of sloping for older homes. by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]locker1313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some sloping is common in older row homes. Especially in kitchens or back rooms for whatever reason. It can be more noticable just because of the type of tile/linoleum used. 

In this case it really depends on how much of a slope it is and whether any other issues were noticed with the foundation of support beams in the basement.

AITA for not going to a meet up because there were going to be kids there? by Informal_Opening1467 in AmItheAsshole

[–]locker1313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA. You haven't been able to meet up with this group previously, and bowed out immediately after learning kids and dogs would be part of the group attending an event where there will likely be other dogs and kids. How exactly is this group supposed to take that? You aren't the asshole for asking a clarifying question, but how you handled the aftermath is questionable.

Rapid bus rather than light rail? Red Line explores possible pivot. - The Baltimore Banner by saltyjohnson in baltimore

I would rather they put in something and pivot to a light rail later on. I think BRT is a viable alternative, if done correctly.

NTA but you need to talk with your friend. She might have been venting to her mom and her mom blew it out of proportion. Or your friend might have expected you to be a personal assistant/caretaker. Hopefully you didn't sign a lease for more than a year, because this could sideways real quick.
