I mean which buildings are worth booking a tour through your congressman/congresswoman (WhiteHouse, Capitol, FBI Pentagon) ?

Capitol especially is best if arranged through your congress person

We had our very own page give us a tour.

I was browsing the philosophy section at Strand Books, as one does, and I overheard a long and loud conversation between a group of what I assume were NYU students about Biden and Abrams and socialism and Zizek and Hegel and “snow is white” (Tarski). I would have invited them to the forum if I talked to strangers.

One of the saddest facts about the Trump administration is that Zizek was demoted to the second most recognizable Slovenian cultural signifier.

Stuff like the Capital and the White House you’ll need to get tickets ahead of time, stuff like history and art museums and monuments I think is better as a self-guided thing.

3 guys go to a 4th friend’s house to watch the chiefs game sunday, nobody hears from them so their families start looking, end up finding all 3 dead in the backyard of the house they were watching the game. 4th friend comes out to the cops holding a wine glass and basically :man_shrugging:t3:

i guess they froze to death? which wouldn’t be that hard drunk and as cold as it was/is in kansas city. but the 4th dude just… ignored it for 2 days?!?

My columbo read:

It was very cold so they decided to grill inside. Dude goes upstairs to take a shit and 20 minutes later finds his bros dead af. So he drags them outside while he figures out his next moves. Drinks turn into dinner and next thing he knows the cops are banging down his door

Three dudes go out for a smoke and accidentally lock themselves out. Guy inside passes out drunk. When he wakes up, he assumes they left and doesn’t even notice their cars outside. He spends the next day masturbating furiously to the fantasy of a three-way with Kelce and T-Swift while Mahomes watches.

Ordered food delivery from an app twice today and both times it was delivered to same wrong address based on photo. I am having a really bad day but some dude with a white door is having a really good day getting free food twice. :grin:

Fentanyl laced cocaine? Then they went outside to smoke and all pass out? Super weird.

DC is a shockingly great city full of insufferable people.

The really insufferable people live in the DC suburbs.

LA and DC are similar imo.

  • Company towns.
  • People from all over the world.
  • Terrible traffic and people can’t drive for shit.
  • Lots of People who believe they are Very Important.

It’s a good thing he installed that airlock at the top of the stairs.

“He spends the next day masturbating furiously to the fantasy of a three-way with Kelce and T-Swift while Mahomes watches.”

I’d have a tough time imagining Mahomes watching me masturbate.

Disagree with “company town” and “people can’t drive for shit” for LA.

I’d love to hear about the major metro that is not “full of insufferable people”. I mean people that you (i.e. Riverman) find insufferable.

New York! I absolutely fucking love New York.
