Step 1. Break into pizza shops in the middle of the night
Step 2. Break into their empty cash registers
Step 3. ???
Step 4. ...???

Honestly it’s pretty mids lol. I just hold it near and dear to my heart cuz I went to Loyola and that was a spot people would get a slice at after the bars. I tried it again once last year and it’s solid but certainly not exceptional lol

It’s insane that this was paved over. Canals are so cool.

It's good? I like Mario's, but I've never been to pizza mart.

Baltimore has generally pretty crappy pizza, so I'm always down to try new spots.

Anyone who fucks with Pizza Mart: it’s on sight.

...but why is it a requirement to the point that this student was expelled for not doing it?

Is it because the principal and archdiocese just make shit up?

Every Catholic school in the state blesses the rings, to my knowledge. There's a whole ceremony and assembly.

In the current climate, they'll drop students for a single uniform infraction. This is a case of the student spitting in their face, and yes, they absolutely would just drop a student over a perceived slight.

(I was in the Catholic school system from Kindergarten through my senior year in the 80s/90s, and even back then, students would vanish for things that made zero sense.)

Needs to come from the state cuz the city has no tax base - unless some miracle merged the city and county and we could actually fund basic services lol.

>Unless the city/state implement widespread poverty alleviation

I agree, but the question is always, with what money?

Voters don't like the solutions because they often involve being kind to people they want punished. Just look at how upset people were by the idea of paying kids not to squegee.

>most youth nowadays don’t have a good work ethic

JFC. Is it because of their long hair and their rock music? You would think people would be self aware enough to finally not be the generation that labelled the next one lazy, but here we are.

Twitter thread with examples of this brain dead idiocy from every ten years or so going back a century plus.

They have actually shown that living in a place with opportunities is the most important part of this equation. Parenting and schooling can help, but if people see no legal path to a better life, they will feel no particular draw to it.

The key will be to make giant investments in underserved communities the way we did in the suburbs.

Round 1 in Towson Town Center has karaoke rooms for rent as well.

I think we will be waiting a loooooong time for that. Catholic Church, pretty rich.

Ugh. Bummer.

> hiking/being outdoors (when it isn’t freezing)

This may or may not be a good recommendation for you, and it doesn't help you right now since it is freezing, but disc golf is an extremely chill and welcoming sport and Druid Hill Park is a great place for a beginner to go try it out. It's basically just a nice walk through a park while occasionally stopping to throw a thing. It's very accessible for a new player...it's hard to be good at but unlike real golf it's not hard to get to a point where you don't completely suck. It's also free, other than the cost of a couple discs (and there's a decent chance someone would give you some old discs for free)

If you show up there pretty much anytime, I'm sure you'd be able to find a group that would take you under their wing and probably even let you borrow a few discs. Their big night is Thursday night, where a bunch of people show up and they have triples (they randomly assign people into groups of 3 based on skill level). I think they still do it in the winter but they start earlier and earlier because of sunlight.

Can't wait for this pedo cult to go bankrupt. Sounds like the school is losing a promising student over something that isn't even in the catechism. School rings must be blessed????? That ain't in the bible and I'm damn sure the pope never said such nonsense. Principal is a power tripping loser. Hopefully she'll get a better education at BCPS.

People pay money to send kids to private schools to avoid sending them to overcrowded and extremely underfunded public schools in the city. There are only so many choices in an area and more often than not most have religion intertwined.

Yeah, that all makes sense. Real world data on a bigger scale disagrees with your conclusions, though. The perception of punishment comes from largely from policing and the presence of police. We even have a local example that demonstrates that quite well. The aftermath of the Freddie Gray riots proves that when there's less policing, there's more crime.

Not always. They come and go quickly and unpredictably. Every once in a while someone notices them and makes a post about it.

It's not my theory, bud

My personal favorite is Nam Gang. It's not as hip as the other Korean bbqs out there but it was actually reviewed by Andwer Zimmerman.
