I’m 28F and I want children and the benefits of being partnered, but I’m not interested in a “love story.” I also don’t want to be a single mother by choice, so that rules out sperm donation for me. As for sex, I’m a little iffy on that. I am demisexual and have a hard time separating sex from romantic feelings😭 Am I being delulu? I’m curious whether there are any communities, groups, or events in the DC area for people interested in unconventional family structures, platonic life partnerships, or intentional co-parenting.

i was looking to do a shoot in this location and i’ve been to the hospital twice already and cannot find it. i heard that renovations started so maybe that’s why i cant find it. if anyone can clarify or help me locate the room you will be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

I recently moved here and expected higher restaurant prices based on dc being a big city but I think the tipping culture here is just kinda insane to me.

If I’m not wrong servers are making $10.30 an hour and yet places will include a 20% tip and a 3-5% service fee for that wage increase. Of course, the plates are still 25-30$ or even more for a more high end place so it’s not like it’s reducing or included in the price of the dishes.

I’ve worked service industry all my life getting paid $2.15 an hour and I will continue tipping 20% in those states and circumstances because that is genuinely unlivable otherwise. However I just think it’s wild to tip 20% on top of 10$ an hour, a living wage fee and city prices to a person making that much off wage alone.

What are your opinions on this? Have you reduced how much you tip after the law change? What is your justification for doing so or not doing so? I’m debating tipping lower at places that don’t already include that 20%.

Has anyone here been threatened by an elderly man just off shaw?? Sort of like picture below

HIYAH!

Just moved here for work 26 male looking for fun social events. Thinking of joining a volo league - I definitely like cornhole more (I think… never really played Skeeball but looks fun) but am also just looking more to meet people and socialize/have fun. What do yall think?

Does anyone know anywhere that’s going karaoke on Halloween? preferably 18+ and not a super bar/alchohol vibe since we’re not into that. Just trying to do some Justin bieber karaoke dressed as justin and get a crowd hype. :)

My daily email from the USPS tells me that we are both getting summoned by the District for jury duty. Does that happen often?

how does this itinerary look? visiting june 11-14 for my birthday weekend with my boyfriend. we both haven’t been since our 8th grade trips…. which were in 2011/2012… and we are super excited to go as adults

am i missing anything that is super worth it?

also would love some food recs!

I did some googling but I couldn't find any confirmation so I'm wondering if anyone here knows anything. I did read that in years past when Halloween was on a weekend they'd do it the day before, so is it better to plan for going on Friday?

Hello everyone, and congratulations to those who challenged themselves today!

Many Marathon photos are already available and will continue to be uploaded throughout the night. Go to the link below and search for your bib number to see if you were captured along the route.

There is also an option for you to get alerted once your bib is uploaded.

Been craving one, need some solid recommendations.

The other week there was a post about the hilariously bad AI-generated photos that Crack Fish and Chicken uses. I hate slop as much as anyone, but I was curious about the food. I had the fish sandwich combo and a side of Mac & Cheese. Everything was good, and they gave you a lot for your money. I think it's actually one of the better carryout deals on H Street. I thought the sandwich was reasonably photogenic, or at least as photogenic as a carryout fish sandwich can be. I've got no idea why they didn't just take photos of their food, but I plan to return in spite of the weird AI pictures. 

I've seen a handful of posts on here about general HVAC recommendations. I am finding that they often don't do the duct work itself.

We desperately need our ducts themselves cleaned after buying a home that was poorly maintained, dusty & had construction done.

Has anyone had a positive experience and have an estimated cost for DUCT CLEANING specifically?

We have a 1000 sqft home in Hill East. 7 vents connected to ducts. One unit.

I’m a gay man in dc who is thinking about getting a perm. I am looking for a barber/salon that is comfortable cutting men’s hair and giving a perm for some curls/texture. Any recs on who would be a good option for this?

I live in Greenbelt and it took me 3+ hours to get home from Northern VA today (usually a 40-45 min drive at 2 pm!) due to I-295 N being completely closed. When I searched online there wasn’t much info, and I didn’t see an accident when we were forced to exit the highway. Anyone know what happened?

Our place is on a corner and we have changed the “front” of the house from one street to the other.

There’s a DC Gov’t process for changing your address. I’m wondering if there are any hidden pitfalls or hassles, other than the obvious inconveniences.

Anyone know why the Hilton on 16th is dark af and looking like it’s closed?

Give me what you got…

First Halloween since moving to DuPont (a couple blocks north of the circle). Does anyone know if there’s typically a decent number of slash any trick or treaters? Trying to gauge whether to buy candy /how much if so. Thanks!!

Just heard what sounded like 10 loud pop/banging sounds and cars speeding away - anyone know what it was?

I was out walking around the neighborhood yesterday afternoon, and made the mistake of getting myself caught in sidewalk traffic in front of Yellow in Georgetown. In addition to the normal nice weather line at Yellow, there were folks asking for photos with a guy who happened to be leaning against the jersey barrier right there. People around me were saying "I didn't recognize him at first" and "My brother is gonna be so jealous".

I'm just curious if anyone was there and knew who the heck the dude was. The quick glance I took, he kinda sorta looked like Jon Bernthal from The Punisher movies.

Looking to get my haircut, a shag/wolfcut, something with lots of layers. Any recs for stylists in the area that people have gotten similar cuts from?

I live in a rowhouse in NW DC (so no backyard and no car) and am looking to start composting all my food waste because our house produces a lot. I've seen composting bins around the city that you can enter a passcode to use. Is there a central composting resource? Does the city hand out individual bins for single apartments to collect our compost first?

Got an assessment for a house im looking to buy and there is a gigantic ToH right in the back yard. Issue is that part of it is also in the neighbor’s yard but theyd have to cut through the fence to get to it. Neighbor’s place looks unmaintained for the most part, it’s like a junkyard back there so not sure if it’s worth talking to them about it. Ultimately im fine with the cost of take the whole thing out, those lantern flies freak me out! 

Also, the tree professionals I’ve spoken to unfortunately will not do the hack and squirt method, they just grind to a stump but even then, cannot grind the entire stump due to part of it being in the neighbor’s yard on the other side of their fence. Not really sure how to handle this because I dont want the tree sprouts coming up even more. My yard is small so I can find the sprouts and poison them as they come up I guess. Any suggestions?
