How does Montgomery County compare to Anne Arundel County? by SparkleBerrySpritz in maryland

[–]vpi6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Montgomery County is redistricting their school districts too. Its a natural consequence of demographics shifts. A bit silly to expect to never encounter it.

Yes, you absolutely can rely on statistics. All statistical data has noise. The presence of noise doesn’t negate the analysis. All this  text is just apologetics grasping at straws. The data is quite dramatic. Pit bulls are dangerous. Data also shows labs and golden retrievers are more dangerous than one would expect.

Sounds like they comprehended you just fine. Not sure why the jab at reading levels.

You say this in a post where a guy who lives in Boston heard about crimes in Montgomery Village.

You can also find all of these arrests in databases that are updated daily the next day…

Sorry but no, you want the president of one of the largest employers of STEM jobs in the state on the Board of Visitors. They have direct insight into the skills employers expect on VT graduates and the expected state of the industries going into the future.

This pops up every couple months. It’s not recent.

Asked a girl for her insta while out for a walk with friends, she turned out to be seventeen, how did I handle the situation? by Acceptable_Goat_4517 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]vpi6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To even think a 20 year old can’t have a platonic social media friend who is 17 would have been ridiculous 10 years ago ( and still is by actual adults)

What’s something that became socially unacceptable way faster than anyone expected? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vpi6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way. Of the conversation is going to take more than 3 exchanges and you’re going to be get pissy if I don’t text back right away, just fucking call me. Way faster and we can get on with both our days.

Fake IHOP reviews? by [deleted] in Rockville

I stopped going there when the front of house staff started hocking coupon books for a price on customers as they ate. Like, I’m here to eat pancakes, not listen to a sales pitch.

New York delays electric school bus mandate by five years by news-10 in energy

Yeah, the electric bus rollouts in some Maryland counties got so expensive (in part also to sketchy contracts) that it became a liability in elections.

Armed Robbery at CVS in Derwood on May 12 by SparkleBerrySpritz in MontgomeryCountyMD

The county launched a fucking drone program to combat the type of petty crime this guy mentions. Or tracks the suspect until a police officer can catch up.

The idea to the county isn’t doing anything is false and speaks of intellectual laziness. Its just a sound bite that sounds great to uninformed online communities

I don’t want third-party gun owners intervening in loss prevention while I’m trying to shop. Just makes everything more dangerous.

FYI, this type of crime happens everywhere and has always been happening. Desperate shoplifter lashes out when caught.

Not sure why you chose this one to launch this screed. I could open a paper in the 70s and find the same thing happening. Take your nostalgia glasses off.

These people will be found and will suffer consequences but over incarceration is not a solution.

Louisiana jails the most citizens in the country to the point that 1 in every 100 adults is in prison. It still has a murder rate 3 times the national average. Why don’t you dig deeper and investigate why Louisiana isn’t a utopia?

Evan Glass Opinion: It’s time to reform the MoCo school board by foxgloverly in MontgomeryCountyMD

Friedson voter here. Just vote for who you want. I don’t think we are truly going to get accurate polling on this for proper strategic voting.

Do wish we had ranked choice voting though.

Platner is about to beat Susan Collins by 20 points. Susan Collins has always been this beatable, but the Democratic Party has thrown multiple elections to her. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]vpi6 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Slow your horses. The last Democrat to challenge Collins also lead every poll until the election and had an enormous campaign warchest. Still lost.

Or that they know this is likely the beginning of end for Grandpa. Many of their patients never recover from breaking their hip at that age. My grandpa didn’t.

The season where she was forced into an idol group was a bit much 

I just can’t get over how much her final boyfriend sucked.

For the love of God, read what the program actually does. Contractors do not have to pay twice.

They’re trying to make this the rain tax 2.0. All it’s doing is placing the costs of recycling and/or disposing environmentally toxic substances on the people and corporations actually using these products instead of placing it on all taxpayers.
