Fuck DC, fuck Northern Virginia, fuck Maryland, fuck Baltimore

What a horrible place. Make sure you leave 1 hour early so you can have time to drive, aka sit on the Whitehurst Freeway suspended above the ruins of Georgetown, a black neighborhood turned outdoor boutique shopping mall, gazing out at the diarrhea water of the potomac (yes, theres shit in it), wondering if your six figure salary is really worth it, looking down at paddle boarders and thinking "gee maybe I can try that, that would be something" and trying to resist the temptation to drive off the bridge while Kojo Nnamdi gently talks you out of it by reminding you about "community" aka "zoning boards."

Boo hoo hoo, I miss the funky stylings of black people firing off handguns in McDonald's and smoking crack a couple blocks down from the White House. The murder rate pre-gentrification had a lot more flavor, you know?

DC for the vast majority of its history was about 70% white. The riots and crack feuds of squabbling negroes briefly damaged the city's demographics during the late half of the 20th century, so now we're correcting a very recent social anomaly by whatever means we have available

Fuck go go and Fat Trel. I shit on go go. Black people turned the entire nation's capitol into an open air trashcan. Long live Starbucks. Long live the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

What’s it like living in West Virginia, Cletus?

>>12337313
West Virginia is a comparative paradise. Hence why you DMV suburbanites flock to Harpers Ferry for weekend trips, posting pictures of mountains on Facebook.

>>12336777
I'm in, I'm from Albany

>>12337328
Thats a fairly nice drive if you go down I-81. Watch out for the trucks but lots of mountains.

Great thread already.
I'm in Takoma and H street corridor from time to time.

Alright fellas (and ladies), I'm the guy who organized the last two DC meetups last fall/winter.

I'm down to do another one, each time there was about 4-5 people. Several of the people from the last ones are no longer living in the area so if we want to do one with a decent crowd we should pick a day in 2 or 3 weeks and then post about it every few days so everyone in the area has a chance to see it. Both times we met at Russia House in Dupont which was decent enough other than the too loud music and overpriced beer. If anyone else has good suggestions for a different meetup spot I'm down.

I still have the same email dclitmeetup@gmail.com.

>>12337480
Can I come if I don't read?

>>12337487
Only if you've read enough internet encyclopedias, wikipedia etc to convincingly pretend that you have to the point of being able to make interesting conversation

>>12337402
You shitbag yuppies are all the same. You all secretly resent and despise negroes. You think your high end clothing stores and your Whole Foods are a gift to the city, noble, hard working, kind white folk that you are.

You pay 1000 bucks a month to live in a remodelled row house, haunted by black ghosts.

>>12337501
>You pay 1000 bucks a month to live in a remodelled row house, haunted by black ghosts.

I wouldn't have it any other way. You haven't truly lived until you have an audience of civil war-era ghosts watching you poop and jerk off. I talk to them about how Trump is based.

>>12337501
I work a decent paying blue collar job, pay $650 for a room in a shared house just outside the city, and read what Sam Hyde and Pewdiepie tell me to read. Also the areas that I've lived, worked, and hung out in are pretty black still (Takoma & H St.).
What does that make me?

>>12337501
Wanna come hang out with black tranny hookers on K St. with me?

charlottesville reporting in... when is the meetup? also, nice trips

>>12337555
This thread is blessed by digits.

>>12337480
I just moved here and will attend as long as it’s on a fri/sat/sun and not next weekend

>>12337561
What neighborhood you in? Someone should make one of those google calendar things so we can put in days we're good for.

>>12337525
>read what sam hyde and pewdiepie

Does it not strike you as fucking stupid to get your ideological cues from people whi have managed to obtain views on Youtube?
Be your own man, my God. How are you not embarassed?

>>12337328
Albany meetup when

>>12337561
Yeah, I would definitely plan for a weekend evening, that's what we did before. 3 weeks seems like enough time for everyone to see it on /lit/ and decide if they wanna go. One evening around Fri the 25th and Sun the 27th we could meet somewhere in DC around 6-8pm or earlier if people want. We previously would meet around 7-8 and all get beer together which had a nice feel but the Boston people seem to have been meeting at a cafe during the day which could work too.

I guess we can just keep bumping this thread and if anyone who lives in the area wants to go they can just reply to this post stating their intent to go. If we get enough people that it looks like it won't be a waste of time we can go ahead with the meetup.

>>12337645
Existence doesn't exist, it is.

>>12337577
Relax homie, it was merely in jest.

>>12337645
Should I bring a literal cubic meter of weed?

I hate this board and its posters. It would make me want to vomit seeing your horrible faces revealed. It would make me sick and degraded to see your filthy mouths open and say "hey man! Im anon!"

Only you won't be anon. Youll be Joey or John or James. Youll have hair and dandruff and a stupid shirt. And then youll look at me with your stinking, rotten eyeballs and youll notice my stupid shirt.

>>12336777
holy shit, I didn't know we had bugers here on lit

>>12337734
sounds good homie I'll bring my dab rig

>>12337752
Don't come then loser!

>>12337759
>>12337645
Alrighty then sometime around 25-27th sounds good

>>12337766
I wont, I left that horrible place in June.

>>12337768
Okay, unless multiple people who want to come can't do Saturday I propose we do Saturday the 26th. I probably prefer to meet later in the evening and grab beer instead of coffee but we can wait and see what other people want to do. If this thread dies today or tomorrow I'll just post it again a couple times a week with the email until then.

DCfag here. I’ll go /spoiler/if only out of morbid curiosity to see what you incels actually look like/spoiler/

>$650 for a room in a shared house just outside the city,
Imagine being this delusional.

>>12337501
>reee transients get out

You’re not wrong, but you’re still a faggot.

>>12337902
Not that guy but I rent a room in a house a 10 min walk from a metro station which takes only about 35 minutes to get downtown. My bill for rent and utilities last month was only 688, you have to really look but it is possible to find affordable housing near DC, especially where in areas with a lot of students where most of the houses are just rented out room by room.

Fuck you, faggots. I pay $1225 in rent, and I live paycheck to paycheck, working 60 hours of week for peanuts. Columbia Heights master race reporting in.

Glover park all star reporting in. I can get everyone in to Smith Point in case you guys aren't on the list.

>mfw dumb spooks trying to entrap me don't even bother to check that the place they thought of is even open anymore

>>12338032
>not getting the joke
You didn't go to public school by any chance, did you? lmao

>>12337972
>only 688

HA! God I dont miss it. 600 bucks gets you a broom closet in a Korean family's basement. My rent is 390 and I can see mountains out of both windows.

No fags allowed at meet ups, btw

Wat do

>>12336923

screencapped. utterly savage and true.

fuk this place

>>12336923
kek. only thing wrong with this is you assume anyone on this board makes six figures

>>12337979
Haha what kind of job do you have? Barista? Uber?

>>12337979
I don’t even feel bad for you. You could be renting an English basement for $900 or a shitty bedroom in a College Park house if you’d bother to search around

>>12338055
Where do you live anon?

>>12338931
UMD grad, I can back this up. My rent for a frigid basement room in a dirty college park house 10-15 minutes from campus by bike ended up being $500/mo excluding utilities.

NOVA chad reporting in

I live with my mommy, pay nothing (zero ($0)) in rent, while completing a degree in computer science at one of the most prestigious universities on the planet

Tuition is paid for by my exceptional IQ, living expenses are covered by my elite genetics, and I freelance web design whenever I feel like I "need" a couple thousand dollars

Also, I read and write for 4 hours a day on top of my rigorous studies, exercise regularly, and have experienced sexual intercourse with as many as two (2) different girls

Basically, fuck you: I am the alpha and the omega. At the meetup look for the intellectual demigod/gentleman dressed in clothes so well-fitting and cool that even black teens stop to admire my "threads"

>>12339178
Psh, I got a room for $500/mo. easy, that’s not an accomplishment.

I currently live in the DMV and pay $775

You guys suck at getting good deals on apartments, that’s the problem.

>>12339015
I ran away to the Northern Rockies for fresh air. That place was killing me.

>>12339391
>I got a room for $500/mo. easy, that’s not an accomplishment
yes that’s exactly what we’ve already agreed upon

>>12339299
ok see u there

What did the Boston meet up look like?

This post makes no sense. You are not a chad

Sounds like the up-and-coming Yuppie Nova life! Be sure to smoke weed occasionally and ride a bike or some other hobby.

>>12339416
How's life there? Been thinking about a similar move. Grew up here, just lost my job and I'm fucking tired of it

>>12339692
You majored in math and econ and pay below average rent for the area, and you still can't budget properly working two jobs?? Dude fix your shit, you're clearly doing something wrong.

>>12339709
I’d rather live this wretched lifestyle than spend another moment in that suburban wasteland you call home.

>>12339729
>you’re clearly doing something wrong

Yeah, I have a girlfriend.

>>12339713
Moving to a new place arbitrarily and by yourself is not an essy thing to do. Ive been gone 7 months and am still adjusting. Make sure you have a good 5 or 6 grand set aside and that you do plenty of research if you want things to go smoothly. Then again I arrived off of the highway with 5 grand in credit card debt and managed to get a job and an apartment despite no college degree and a surprisingly tough housing market. You can break all the rules if you're smart and willing to put up with discomfort (like doing a week of overtime while living in a van).

Inevitably one finds when they leave a place that the place wasnt so much the problem as your own self, which you have to take with you wherever you go.

Theres a honeymoon period and then you start missing friends/family, especially around the holidays (none of this was a surprise to me, its not my first time trying to escape). It helps having some contacts on the ground or a group you can network with to help settle in (a church, AA, an outdoors club, whatever).

Its still a huge relief to be away from that place, and Im operating on the hope that, in time, ill form the kind of relationships that I currently miss.

>>12339768
>the place wasnt so much the problem as your own self, which you have to take with you wherever you go

true, although I wouldn't discount environmental effect on well-being (at least for myself) and at this point I know that major metropolitan areas don't do a thing for me. Solid advice, thankfully I have a decent amount saved & I'm hoping to find a place and be out of here by the year's end.
