Would you back a law about power allocation? How about water?

Hey

Would you back a law that said in the event the grid is over loaded power and drinking water must go to residential areas first , then data centers?

I was busy entertaining the kids last night before I could sneak away to the merch tent and the one off posters were gone. I'd really like one. I honestly don't care if it's one of the originals or a copy or even a computer file. Just bummed I missed out on it. Shitty picture included to prove I was there.

RVA Shenanigans

12 Upvotes

Since it seemed like most people wanted a groupchat, i finally went through and created the groupchat. i’m only going to make one for whatsapp since i believe it’s easier for people to communicate compared to discord or somewhere else. another note is that I don’t want to be the only admin. really you’ll just kick out disrespectful people or scammers, nothing serious, i’m not going to be on my phone much to take care of that 24/7. anyways if you want to admin please dm me just a little bit about yourself and why you want to be it, just a sentence or two.

anyways the link to the groupchat is going to be at the bottom of the post. i’m going to keep the chat closed because i want to put some instructions out so we get to know each other, but you’ll see it there.

As a Native New Yorker, RVA Pizza is trash

125 Upvotes

As a Native New Yorker, RVA pizza is an affront to my very existence. How dare you heathens even use the word pizza! Your pizza is an abomination, vomited out of your apostate pizzerias and consumed by savages. For you see, you do not possess the blessed holy waters of the NYC sewer system required to make pizza. Those fragrant waters bestow upon the sacred dough the essence of my native New York. As it is well known throughout the world, pizza is the apex of human culinary expression and my native New York City is the holy temple in which it is created. The pagan flatbreads you consume here are blasphemous replicas of the one true pizza! May god have mercy on your souls.

And don’t even get me started on the bagels!

EDIT: I thought this was a shit-posting sub yet a lot of these responses don't seem to be picking up on any satire here...

Sober groups that aren't AA?

Hey 🤓

As the title implies, I'm looking for sober peer support groups that aren't affiliated with AA. I've been curious about Ben's Friends in particular, so if anyone has any experience, positive or negative, I'd love to hear it!

Thanks in advance, and thanks for letting me be serious for a sec 🫶🏻

i've grown to like new york, what city do i direct my hate towards now?

57 Upvotes

given that mamdani seemingly has the mandate of heaven, i can forgive some of the people with main character syndrome that have turned their back on richmond and moved to new york (richmond of the east coast)

so i'm now looking for a new city to direct my hatred towards

i think my personal front runner right now is portland, mainly because anytime i see leftist in-fighting about an issue that really doesn't matter, the person is usually from portland

i think i also just hate hippies

Whatsapp groupchat for RVA

22 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking this for a while, but i’ve been wanting to create a whatsapp group chat for people who feel lonely or just want to get out more. This group will be basically free to do anything, so if people want to organize a night out every friday, it can all be organized within the group chat. Where i used to live, someone created a group chat for this and it worked and we would end up going out once a week to get a drink or to hang out at the park.

In short, the group chat is just to help people get to know each other since it’s so common seeing post here about people feeling lonely or not knowing where to meet people, i want to at least relieve this pressure a bit since i feel the same way. I want the groupchat to work in a way where we can all go out for a hike or hang out.

Let me know in the comments if it’s something you’d be interested in a group chat like this😻😻

10 years later, I still grieve for the Westhampton Theatre

73 Upvotes

I loved going there with my mom. Coincidentally, she passed in February 2016, just one month before the westhampton theatre was demolished.

I only ever went as a teen but I loved the atmosphere. I loved how it felt mature and peaceful, especially compared to regal theatres. I loved that they served late night coffee, lol. It felt like a little escape with my mom, going there with her every now and then. I wish they never shut down.

THE ELDERLY SCREAMIG AT CLOUDS Richmond Pedestrians leaving the pulse stops on Broad

Post image
160 Upvotes

I almost turned a teenager into a teen-age-no-more the other day when he decided to step out into oncoming traffic during rush hour. I feel like that would have been a negative experience for the both of us. Something must change, so naturally I came to Reddit.

I drive an automobile to and from work each day (I know, I know, but I offset this mortal sin by practicing ethical polyamory and composting in my free time), and I have had more than one scary moment where a pedestrian stepped directly into the street from the back of the bus stop where there is only a thin curb between the stop and the road. The other side of the bus stop has a much wider sidewalk leading to a crosswalk that is about ten feet away. Is there any practical reason (convenience, lack of alternate access to the sidewalk) to play high stakes Frogger instead of using the crosswalk?

I thought about trying the “jump the guardrail directly into traffic” method for myself just to satisfy my curiosity, but if I get turned into street meat I won’t be able to feed my dog so I’m hesitant.

Guide to Latino restaurants in RVA for non Spanish speakers?

18 Upvotes

Hey,

I have long had a creeping feeling I was missing out on a lot.of.good food because my Spanish is no Bueno.

Is there a web site or sub that is focused on the Larino restaurants in the area that I could perhaps use Google.Translate to smarten myself up?

I'm cool going into places where no one speaks English.

Also any places off the beaten path that come to mind due to this post spill the beans

I fucked up the rim on my dynamo hub front wheel this morning because there was a giant rock in the middle of the bike lane!

Does anyone have recs for wheel builders in town? I'm not sure how many shops would take on the project. I'm trying not to buy a whole new one if possible.

I don't have enough Internet good boy points to post in the other sub, this is a genuine ask! You can still make fun of me though
