There's metal shows here all the time. In addition to venues mentioned above check the pie shop and song Byrd and comet pizza. They're also resuming shows at Atlas Brewery. Follow these guys as well. https://www.facebook.com/rippingheadachespromotions?mibextid=ZbWKwL

i rarely see them littering the sidewalk these days

maybe you can get in touch with mary cheh -- i'm sure she'd be receptive to your rather hysterical list of demands

Sex on the beach

Most of the good metal/punk/hardcore shows are in Baltimore but every now and then 9:30 Club and Fillmore in Silver Spring will have good bands in those genres.

Oh. I pass that old (Harris Teeter) grocery store area every other week, since i frequent a newer grocery store a few blocks away. I was trying to convey, I used to walk around the area every other week, and now I wouldn’t after a certain time period. The development has brought a lot and it seems like crime has followed. Even if a new grocery store goes into the old Harris Teeter building, I will pass on getting groceries there after work/in the evening - like I used to do at the old Harris Teeter.

I lost my IDs in metro center and never got them back, huh I wonder why

I think the comments here have already covered most of the small venues... DC doesn't really have much in the way of a metal scene, although the shows we do get tend to be pretty fun (nothing like eating a big slice of pie before a show at the Pie Shop!)

Baltimore is where it's at, although some of the big acts will play the Fillmore in Silver Spring. DC Heavy Metal on Twitter is a good way to find out about upcoming shows.

> but IIRC he abstains from alcohol.

Just like everything else he says, that's a lie.

Trump:

> I'm not a drinker. I can honestly say I never had a beer in my life…. Whenever they are looking for something good, I say I never had a glass of alcohol.

Laraby, bartender at various 1990s clubs:

> I served him. And he drank at the bar. He'd come in with John Casablancas. He'd go to the side of the bar [at Spy] by the waitress station, because he liked the waitresses. He would order light beer.

Ault:

> We had champagne on the table, always, and we had vodka usually, some scotch. He was drinking champagne or vodka

Laraby:

> Trump was not a good tipper at all. He would stand at the bar, and if he was paying, which he sometimes did, John would have like three drinks, and he would have his beer and then they would get their bottle of wine, and the wine was expensive, and then he would leave me, like, two dollars.

This is what people who bring up aggregate crime stats to imply people shouldn't feel unsafe don't seem to grasp.

​

Incidents like these are 10x (or greater?) more likely than "being the victim of a crime", and they are terrifying, and of course you feel unsafe, and they never funnel up into crime stats.

White privilege at its finest. There's no way I, as an Indian-American, could have dropped out of high school and never gone to college and then made $200k as a U.S. Congressmember as a 30-something yr old.

Metro Center’s machine in the gate I use for work was gone yesterday, so try an entrance other than 12/G. There’s a bunch on eBay for like $20.

Pro tip: If you are referencing the time long ago when you used to go to the Harris Teeter in DC, you didn't live here long ago to speak to what it was like before things changed.

Except the USAO is reviewing the cases, and they're determining that in 70% of cases they can't make a case. And in some nonzero number of cases the reason is precisely because of the shitty police work done by the arresting officers.

So in your analogy your boss is reading the proposals and rejecting 70% of them, some of which because they're illegible and nonsensical. And if someone called you out as being a shitty lazy policy proposal writer for not writing policy because of it they'd be entirely correct, just like people calling out lazy shitty cops not doing their jobs would be.

This seems pretty bad.

It's not the whole reason but one major aspect of it is that all throughout the 80s and 90s when crime was at its worst and there was very little development east of RCP, Asian people were the only ones willing to own and run businesses in many parts of the city.

These businesses were mostly corner stores and liquor stores, and had a reputation for charging high prices for low quality products. Even to this day if you go EOTR many if not most liquor stores, corner stores, and carryouts are owned and operated by Asian people. A significant amount of the anti-Asian sentiment is due to their reputation as profiteering off of the inability for poor black people to go to more competitive stores outside food deserts, and alleged racist treatment of their black customers.

This subreddit definitely isn’t progressive. Voting blue is also not equivalent to progressivism, and as far as progressivism goes, your views are far from it.

Complaining is anyone’s right. But the comments in this subreddit go beyond complaining. There were literally people saying that the child murdered by an adult for carjacking deserved it, and was an example. That’s not okay, but the same people saying that don’t interact with or understand the people in their community on the day to day.

Do you know how human nature works? If my job is to write policy proposals, and I get paid regardless of how many policy proposals I write, and my boss doesn’t even read most of my memos, guess what I will be writing far fewer policy memos than if my boss actually read them.

I would have answered as follows: “Just to be clear Congresswoman, In the event your husband (purely hypothetical) were to take out his penis in public and urinate, it would still be a criminal offense in D.C.”
