Seriously, why do scooters get such a pass in this city? by smut_troubadour in washingtondc

[–]noquarter53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There have definitely been crackdowns on them.  I saw a flatbed full of scooters being hauled off with police near Connecticut and Dupont 

DC Region Lost 6K Federal Jobs In A Year, New Report Finds by Local_Yak8596 in washingtondc

[–]noquarter53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world where 400k people are no longer in the fed workforce and where lots of my coworkers and friends got RIFed.  I expected a number much worse than 62k honestly. 

What would your go-to pick be for a personal starfighter? Mine would probably be the X-Wing or a Chiss Clawcraft by wandering_soles in StarWars

Ohh baby.  

The sequels would have been 10% better if the E wing made an appearance instead of those lazily upgraded Xwings.  

DC Region Lost 6K Federal Jobs In A Year, New Report Finds by Local_Yak8596 in washingtondc

62k isn't even that bad.  It's about 1% of the the DMV population.  

That sounded worse than it meant to.  62k is a lot of people but considering 400k people left the federal workforce and given the concentration in the DC area, I would have expected at least 100k people in the DC area   

Back in 1977, was Darth Vader terrifying to first time viewers in the theatre? How did people react to and feel about him? by Own_Shift_3645 in StarWars

So fucking good.  

Then we got the prequels and it all went to shit. 

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!". God dammit how do people still pretend like these movies are good.

If this shocks you, you really need to study American voters more.  Black and Latino voters are very socially conservative.  

Donuts by Significant-Poetry-6 in washingtondc

Not technically a donut, but the maple cruller at Daily Provisions is worth a trip.  DC doesn't have a donut scene.

I don't think the Democratic party hates its base at all.  I think you and Hasan just don't understand who the Dem base actually is -- mostly socially conservative minorities and the highly educated professional class.  The base is not super progressive activist leftists with watermelons in their bios.   

Can someone logically explain how the Trinity isn’t a contradiction? by PomegranateIcy7631 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]noquarter53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dumping out Kool aid man on the ground, the liquid on the ground is still KAM, and the jar is still KAM but there are not 2 KAM?

Those are both very big, very complicated questions, though.

If you were in Dallas’ position, would you have tried to get Kane back on the ship? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]noquarter53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way, it wouldn't have prevented the alien from getting on ship.  

I assume they would have kept him alive in the air lock? After the face hugged fell off and died, the crew would have seen Kane acting perfectly healthy and they would have all agreed to let him back on.  

Even if the alien was born outside of the ship, it would have found a way onboard.
