Who said you would abuse them? All I said was if you ask for them you probably won't get them.

I'm sure it applies to a lot of grifters.

Yeah that's not my angle anyone with common sense knows not to approach a doctor like that it never ends with you getting a prescription and again not seeking benzos for abuse need them for my anxiety

Could you PM me the details like which doctor you used and the address thanks

Ok let me clarify I'm not going into these doctors offices and specifically asking for benzos. I go in let them know I'm have been diagnosed with GAD and panic disorder. I then relay that I have tried a b and c which did not work for me. I then ask if there is anything else that I could be prescribed for my anxiety of course if anyone goes in and says I want benzos they aren't gonna get them

If you go in there saying you want this specific type of medication, especially a narcotic, you're probably not going to get it. That's called drug seeking behavior.

Homeland would be “suburbs” but still in the city. That would be my recommendation.

calling for imprisonment of a family? whatever world you live in sounds much more dangerous and threating and than anything we live in today

Russians propaganda? You mean the FBI spreading Russian propaganda fears to kill a news story about a future presidents son and his laptop?

Or NYT/WAPO for spreading the same fears...

If you think spreading propaganda is just a sinclair problem...look around..

The city government probably needs a firm reboot.

While I agree with the sentiment that spreading foreign-influenced propaganda is a bad thing, I think it's worrying that people are upvoting the suggestion of locking people up for stuff like that. Speech that is distasteful or you disagree with should not automatically be banned and surely not a reason for imprisoning people.

To me, your post reads like list of reasons you are using to talk yourself out of living the city life you've never experienced. At first I read this post as purchasing a home and I would have put my support behind living in the county. But renting? I'd do a year or two in the city (plenty of suggestions where in this thread), experience the good and the bad, then figure out what you want to do when the time feels right.

FYI, I moved out of downtown (fed hill) in my late 20's for some of the reasons you mentioned. Knew a kid was on the way, wanted a large yard, dog, room to host, etc. I'd lived in the city for 6+ years though, and got to experience a lot of great times in my mid 20's. We made the move to Arbutus (which I've recommended in the past) and are now looking to upsize yet again. Arbutus/Catonsville/Ellicott City are all areas that I'd recommend looking at if you decide against city life.

>said it'll make our lives easier if we either only answer positively

That's really only true if you're trying to get out from under your lease.

Yup. Congresses approval rating is like 20% but people elect aa lot of incumbents.

>if you're on the city council and you actually care about the city, your institutional knowledge won't be lost because you will take a job as either staff for a particular elected individual

Wow this is some of the worst logic I have read in a minute.

If that was the case no one would complain about our politicians.

Transplant from Los Angeles to Maryland here. We just bought our house in Woodlawn. It is suburban, but a short drive to Baltimore City. (20-30min depending on traffic.) Catonsville is also next door. (Another great place.) The best I can compare our general area here, is what Pasadena and Orange County might have been in CA. I highly recommend sticking to a suburb and driving out to “fun” spots. I’m a stay at home mom and plan to work from home eventually. The city will not offer the space and peace your wife will need. Being a young couple in the suburbs doesn’t have to be isolating. Once you’re settled, you can look up local meet ups. I’m also sure you’ll end up making friends amongst your coworkers. Good luck with the house hunt! :)

>How about our politicians stop being lying criminal pieces of shit

This isn't a proposal.

A lot of north Baltimore is like this (not just Hampden). There are actually lots of "suburban-type" neighborhoods (single-family houses, yards, off-street parking) all over Baltimore, just not near the downtown area.

I'd suggest picking some places and trying a "test commute" in the morning and the evening if at all possible. I live in north Baltimore now and when I went into an office (now about 95% remote) that was near Penn Station it took me maybe 15 minutes in the worst rush-hour traffic on 83 (normal, not apocalyptic accident/disaster traffic) to go about 5 miles. On the other hand, I lived in Catonsville years ago and was 8 miles from my office and it'd take me 40-50 minutes to get to work downtown because I had to take 40 the whole way. That being said, I also lived in Pasadena for a while and my commute could go as quickly as 20-25 minutes some days, probably averaging closer to 30 minutes even though I had to travel twice the distance I did from Catonsville. The lesson I learned is that you REALLY can't go by distance when estimating commuting time.

Measure it

Imo, it’s like the city version of Baltimore county. Some walking distance stuff and the people seem more accustomed to city life rather than the stereotypical burbs

And 45.

derp, I meant Harris Teeter, lol. I live in NC now, obviously confused.

Where is this mystical publix? I'd go for a publix sub right now! ;)

I doubt they pay by the word. There have been other comments on here about the vivid writing at the Banner -- I don't subscribe and cannot comment on anything other than what's been quoted on reddit, but what I've seen is indicative of a more narrative style of writing. It's a choice one might not expect from a news organization, but that doesn't make it wrong.
