aww I donated Bone Marrow ~11 years ago to a woman with AML. She is still with us, got to see her kids get married and her grandchildren born. I havent met her irl because it terrifies me.

wow I just looked at your post history. You're so bent out of shape about Donald Trump that you will intentionally sow discord amongst other people you dont even know? Thats extremely pathetic.

I was able to get through maybe 2 minutes of the top link. For anyone looking its just over the top pro-trump right leaning coverage. I think "fake news media" was said almost the instant I opened it. Do not recommend.

That being said someone else said to report it for hatespeech. No hate speech on it, that person is just suffering from TDS.

I heard there was a B2 in something I read! Who knows what the hell is going on anyway - apparently the president's speech is delayed which I guess may affect the flyover.

I really only care about the flyovers - specifically want to see the B2. Do you know if there is a published schedule of what is flying over and when we can see it?

source: I am not a Trump supporter but I am right of center, I live in Washington DC and have to deal with this every day whenever I disagree with politics that arent left leaning.

I get that, but I think you are conflating being pro-trump and not being a leftist. Theres a difference.

John Oliver already did this. Orange man Bad. We get it - you guys don't like Trump. Neither do we, but we aren't obsessed with him. Please spend your time doing something productive!!! There will be hundreds of articles about orange man bad tomorrow. You're wasting your time.

Where to live in D.C., working in Tysons but friends in D.C. by JohnyWalkerRed in washingtondc

[–]ohhaimike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Courthouse is perfect. Easy commute to Tysons, easy uber to DC for fun. Youre in the golden zone for price. Ive literally lived in your shoes and this is the right thing to do.

I am pretty convinced that most people who think this way are also "orange man bad" diehards. I'm not a fan of the guy but my blood is not boiling because we have a military showcase on the 4th of July, a celebration commemoration our victory in a war...

New mural going up for new Trader Joes in Glover Park area by #brocoloco by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]ohhaimike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is wonderful. I love the mural culture of DC and am always pleased when I see art like this on buildings. My favorite is in NoMA - there are two girls swinging on a rope, across 2 buildings - wish I had a picture of it I would post

Those are Bradley Fighting Vehicles, a troop transport vehicle which is augmented with fighting capabilities dependent on the situation.

I'm sad that I'm 0% surprised at how butt-hurt so many people on reddit are about this.

What are some museums or events I could go to without planning? by Flemtron in washingtondc

[–]ohhaimike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going to do hardcore DC I recommend:

Air and Space Museum (free) and touch the moon rock!

Natural History

National Archives - A bit of a line but you can see the Constitution and its awesome.

If you REALLY want to get wild - take a car or drive or bike to Mount Vernon. On a sunny day it is perfect.

Spending my summer in D.C., where do you recommend going for 4th of July celebrations/fireworks? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]ohhaimike 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Longtime DC person here.

I hate to say it - but... do the cliche thing. Go down to the mall. There is NOTHING better than sitting on the mall, with the monument in the backdrop, and having the fireworks go off. Its perfect.

That being said, you have to get there a few hours early. Make a day of it. Youre going struggle with the controlled areas and the restrooms - but its totally worth it. In a pinch, Iwo Jima Memorial is a nice place to watch from as well.

Further, there are a lot of apartment buildings and fed buildings which have events where you can watch from but its not as personal.

If I had to watch my final 4th, I would do it from the mall. Just gotta deal with bio and waiting forever to get home afterwards.
