And see, I’m originally from the south and we all think it’s the northern city that thinks it’s kinda southern. YMMV. It’s above the sweet tea belt, anyway. As in, you can’t just go somewhere and get sweet tea, you get offered unsweet and packets of sugar. That, in my definition, is what makes a southern city—the…

Yeah, I should have added—I have much better luck with Lyft drivers knowing where the hell they’re going. Lyft also seems to have more cars in my (south Arlington) neighborhood. (I lived in the District proper for seven years until recently and work on K Street still, so I feel qualified to give advice, DC residents.)…

If you’re driving, don’t neglect the ‘burbs! For example, there are wineries less than an hour’s drive outside DC, and there’s one, the Winery at Bull Run, right near the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Air and Space complex out at Dulles, and next door to the Manassas battlefield. (Pretty sure there was fighting on the winery…

Unsolicited medical advice from a fellow sufferer:

I have a 6s and I refuse to upgrade. Too many stories of people having shit battery life after. My battery life is already terrible to the point that I’m considering getting one of those ridiculous charging cases again. I’m not making it worse on purpose just to have a couple of cool new camera features.

Okay, so. For all you NRA supporters in the comments here. What do you propose we do, then? Because I think it’s pretty obvious (also see NYTimes, CNN, and even quite a few articles BEFORE this shooting—google “mass shootings more frequent”) that these mass shootings are only getting worse and more frequent. If not…

I think they might actually be praying because I think they might legitimately not connect their lack of action with what’s going on. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing.

You know, if you actually did some reading on the topic, it’s a lot more nuanced than you and our President might think:

You still have to have a “valid reason.” But most people around here (NoVa) work outside their county/city or will be working+commuting more than 11 hours that day, sooooo...

Yeah, even as two married professionals with a joint account we felt like it was kind of expensive! A floor lamp, two table lamps and two pillows set us back more than I was happy with. Here’s hoping it goes on sale soon! Maybe after the holidays.

OMG I looooove that new line of mid mod. Project 62? My husband and I just had to furnish part of a new apartment’s living room and we got all the lamps and pillows from that line. It was our way of being able to get the look affordably? We combined with some of our old stuff and some Wayfair pieces.

All you have to do is look at Tuesday’s Lifehacker thread on “female” vs. “woman” to get an idea of why the argument in this thread is happening.

I’m going to say this as kindly as possible: tl;dr

Oh, you know “people”! Like, “men,” I’m guessing, or certain women trying to ingratiate themselves with MRA on /r/redpill, because a quick Google turns up nothing on a marked preference for “females”—quite the opposite—article after article on a preference for “women.” Amazing how a little bit of research vs. anecdote…

Okay, you’re still doing a lot of rambling here, and I don’t think I’m missing your point at all. No need to be condescending to me. My response to you is, they/your friends/you/whomever you’re talking about might have those reasons, which believe me, as a lady on the internet, I have considered [read: had explained…

Female as a noun is generally used for animals. Please call humans women. Thank you. We women appreciate it.

I would really, really like to know who these women are who are offended at being called “women” because my guess is they haven’t existed since second-wave radical feminism. Please just call us “women.” The term women is really the safest and non-loaded (AND most technically correct!! Female as a noun generally refers…

Jayson Werth’s worst fear

LMFAO that is how I explain NoVa to people.

I live off Columbia Pike and it’s still awesome. I love how diverse it is. It’s like DC but a tad more spacious.
