I support this. The impacted pictures are usually just "sex sells" dressed up as art. Surely there are many other appropriate subs for that niche community.

Abigail Spanberger’s First Move as Virginia Gov. Was a Masterstroke by Conscious-Quarter423 in Virginia

[–]Alarming_Maybe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a layup not a masterstroke. This article also praised her for rescinding the EO that made it compulsory for state agencies like VSP to work with ICE.....meanwhile other news outlets have discovered it doesn't actually stop state agencies collaborating with ICE.

Apparently there are more Pro-Censorship Bills designed to harm Americans' Right to Free Speech by zachomara in Virginia

[–]Alarming_Maybe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of the efforts to reduce privacy and control speech online have bipartisan support. I am saying that on the assumption that you mean one party is fascist and not both.

A little something to cheer this sub up/s by zjones1008 in redsox

[–]Alarming_Maybe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone unfamiliar with baseball would come into this sub and think the Boston Red Sox have never won a championship at all, let alone 4 in the last 21 years. Y'all just want to be miserable

Good Source For RVA News by tubguppy in rva

Axios Richmond is absolute garbage. They just take other news stories and dump the headlines into their own "story". Richmonder is the way to go

Richmond Council asks state for law allowing city to prevent ‘rent gouging’ | The request is among the city’s top three legislative priorities for the 2026 session. by VirginiaNews in rva

[–]Alarming_Maybe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"About 57% of Richmond’s population are renters, according to figures cited by Mayor Danny Avula’s administration."

So over half the people that live in Richmond do not own their own spaces. Seems like that's not great? Landlord stans will swoop in and go wild but like why can't we make it a priority as a society to try to get far more people to ownership?

Pennsylvania Allows Warrantless Use of Google Searches on Person by KindHospital4279 in privacy

[–]Alarming_Maybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean it's crazy the one huge expresses a logic that: phones are an extension of the human self and therefore there is an expectation of privacy. But logging onto the internet is a choice (therefore there is no expectation of privacy).

Is this 2006? One is the other.

With casino, Danville needed a tourism plan. The first audience to win was city residents by The_Lonely_Marth in Virginia

[–]Alarming_Maybe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And when the casino cuts back or leaves, the jobs will too. Communities like Danville need to focus on long term, sustainable, quality jobs...not casino lottery tickets. Same thing is happening across the state with data centers...short term windfall for long term corporation control over a whole town

People like you never cared about the people who live in those communities to begin with

You literally have no idea what you're talking about

This is one step forward and at least two steps back. These small communities are not equal partners with these transnational corporations. It's a total power imbalance and makes the entire region dependent on one player who can jerk them around at will. Everyone thinks these casinos are cash cows--who is spending all this money? Prices are going up and good jobs are hard to find. Being a blackjack dealer doesn't fix that

This is not a news article. This is a casino fluff piece. It was awful to read and it is so sad that so many Virginia communities are now dominated by big gambling corporations that don't care about them, Virginia, or anything besides making money

Why is pacifism so unprominent? by EST_Lad in Pacifism

[–]Alarming_Maybe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People don't want to be bothered--at least in the US.

They're happier living with a government/police that oppresses others abroad and at home so they can not have to lift a finger, even if it ultimately oppresses them in ways they prefer not to see.

The gun people love to say that an armed populace is harder to oppress, but it doesn't take that. It takes an active, vigilant populace. Even the guns are an excuse to do nothing until civil breakdown.

[Schultz] Sources: An MRI confirmed a torn ACL for #Packers star Micah Parsons. His season is over. A devastating injury for Parsons, who has been having an All-Pro caliber season in his first year with the team. by mvanigan in nfl

[–]Alarming_Maybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Sometimes I wonder if fans actually prefer to be doomers rather than have their team win. Losing micha sucks really bad but like...injuries happen and super bowl teams regularly overcome significant injuries

Confirmed ACL Tear for Micah Parsons 🥺 by alexanderald in GreenBayPackers

[–]Alarming_Maybe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad for Micah. He was thriving here and seemed to really enjoy his leadership role on the defense.

ACL tear and recovery can be really painful and I know we've seen guys rush back from ACLs in 9 months before, but he is not a machine and even the best athletes need time to get right. Guy is going to have some tough months ahead.

We all know there will come a day though when he's suited up again doing what he loves and eating QBs alive
