Most of y’all remote work anyway. Just get wasted in secret lol

Remember when some Diplomat got car jacked last year? I think it was near Glover Park.

Bouncer?

Security guard? But I think you need a license for this one

Lol at you insulting my comprehension skills when you wouldn’t even put in the extra effort to spell check your own comment

And you’re still just stating the exact same thing from a different vantage point.

People in cars are more protected = things cars hit are less protected

They’re the same statement 🤣

So a person in a car is more physically protected than anyone or anything they will hit?

That’s literally, exactly what I said

Yes but people will read your comment and echo that sentiment everywhere like it’s any more reasonable than saying everyone needs cars

It’s definitely the government’s fault. They’re the ones ACTUALLY responsible for keeping us all safe by providing the necessary infrastructure. The only real solution is being vocal and fighting for actually safe bike routes and not just painted lanes on busy streets.

The amount of money and time this will take is not easily allocated. But the alternative is the reality we live in where civilians are at each others throats. I’ve lived in the Bay Area, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Phoenix, and now DC. I’ve lived in some of the “best places in the USA for bikers.” This usually just means that there’s more than 10 miles of bike/walk paths that are separated and far away from cars.

I don’t know how it gets done in dc. But the real solution is wider sidewalks with dedicated bike lanes on them that have a clear distinction for direction of travel.

Yes, but there are multiple people here, including the person I responded to, that are not being realistic. To say that less than half of the thousands of daily drivers actually NEED their vehicle is pretty disingenuous. But this sub acts like NO ONE needs a car while also complaining about the state of public transit. It’s silly to me

Fam I work in multiple hospitals throughout the week and sometimes in the same day. I leave my house at 3:30-4AM everyday. Some of us absolutely need cars here

I’m saying people hate cars because it is seen as the driver’s responsibility to keep everyone safe. So if people aren’t safe, the blame/hate falls on the cars. People hate cars because the cars are perceived as the cause of the problem.

Yes absolutely. Most states will never make you re-take a behind the wheel or written test to renew a license unless it’s been expired for 1+ years.

And I was gonna reply to your comment too because it’s so spot on.

This is just my opinion but

Cars drivers are considered the problem because, fair or not, we HAVE to take more responsibility for those around us while we’re driving. We’re way more PHYSICALLY protected if a collision happens. So I don’t care how unsafe a pedestrian or cyclist is behaving. As the person in the car, I most likely can prevent hitting them by driving defensively and paying enough attention to everything happening.

It’s not fair, and I’m not excusing people who behave unsafe just because they’re on a bike, scooter, atv, or whatever. Obviously they can cause huge, unavoidable collisions. But driving a car is a privilege not a right. And unfortunately that comes with more implied responsibility than being a pedestrian or biker.

Yeah just go to the dc parking enforcement website. ParkMobile will have the zone and time you paid for parking. I think you just upload the receipt and an explanation. As long as the information on the citation match the parking receipt it should get dismissed easily and all online

Hopefully you’re not like me and didn’t put in the wrong zone

Edit: damn there were hella typos

I’ve had this APEC one about 3 years now and I’m very happy with it

Edit: I think when I looked at waterdrop their certifications were a little sus.

Could be an electronic rig for smoking weed concentrates. Could be smoking meth from an oil burner

That’s just Reggie
