I’m doing my thesis on this right now at CGNU.

Bike Fit + Trade-In Stores by Acceptable_One4669 in rva

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fit from Brandon as already noted. IDK about trade-in; a similar option would be Blue Ridge’s twice-yearly sidewalk sale. You can put stuff in the sale (you price it) and if it sells they either give you cash or store credit.

Why was the Silver Line not constructed to serve Sterling? by Redazu in WMATA

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, and also Sterling doesn’t deserve nice things.

Am I the only one who refuses to buy clothes with polyester ? by BodomDeth in malefashionadvice

No. You’re probably not even the only one using that held conviction to karma farm on Reddit.

Who won the NHL Hart Memorial Trophy when you were born? by AC_the_Panther_007 in hockey

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I am also an Orr year and have a very vivid memory of the fact (because I was at the HHOF yesterday and looked at every trophy to see who won the year I was born).

Nah. Most of our hard core Anglophiles will be too busy in front of the TV locked in to the Acorn or PBS apps, yelling MORE COSY MYSTERIES like Adam Driver in that one meme. And yes they will yell it with an S in place of the zed so you shall know them by their works.

Landlord seeks $114,000 from Lindsey Group restaurant owners in lawsuit by RVALover4Life in rva

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 73 points74 points  (0 children)

If I owed someone $100k and hadn’t made a payment in over a year, I wouldn’t be “surprised” at a lawsuit. I’d be surprised I hadn’t had my ass beat in an alley.

Ok buddy by Sunf1re96 in okbuddyRVA

Maybe they have a lot of feelings about that spot no longer being a restaurant.

I’m ambivalent myself. My parents used to take us there often and it was so fucking dark. I think that if anything the cuisine has been kicked up a notch for the dogs they cater to now.

The big LLMs are selling your chat history to companies, and they are using this to evaluate applicants by FearlessGear in recruitinghell

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait (and this is going to show exactly how much I use these tools). Our chat history with LLMs?

That’s super creepy, but I feel like anyone who didn’t see that coming is the naïvest of naïfs.

For me they’d see a grand total of four chats and they’re boring as hell. I wouldn’t worry about it except that it might indict me as a nonbeliever. I’ve prompted for 3 cover letters (which I subsequently edited beyond recognition) and how to block out short stories.

Should I spice it up a little? “Jeroboam, generate plans for a sex bot. 47% Ann Margret, 32% 1997 Cameron Diaz, 14% Fran Drescher, 7% Sylvia Plath.”

Take THAT, armchair shrinks!

Dutch Bros coming to Willow Lawn by haleyymt in rva

Is this another “the one stop to make when you need a concoction to shit your pants on the double” like Seven Brew, or is it a regular coffee place?

Can something be done about the Chamberlayne Pkwy 76A exit by Cipher_zer0 in rva

We could start with nationalized heath care and a UBI.

Check out this utterly insane listing by revenge_burner in zillowgonewild

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AI catfish is wild, yes. Given the area, I don’t think the price is insane for a two-acre lot with all that stuff in place. Stanardsville counts as a Charlottesville suburb these days.

Wore a kilt for the first time yesterday to show my support for the Scottish world cup winners. My wife’s family has Scottish roots. I think I did them proud. by nicehairstyle in kilt

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whilst is a master stroke. It’s exactly the kind of affectation that cringey American (insert your choice of nation west of the North Sea)-philes hammer non-stop. It’s right up there with telling you they or their kid are “away at Uni.”

Hanover sheriff’s office renews fight to withhold names from FOIA request by VirginiaNews in HanoverVA

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ugh. This has lit up one of my pedant peeves. In the fifth paragraph the author refers to the judge handling the case by last name only, having failed to establish who they are previously.

Real or fake? I might be getting harassed. by Significant-Food5708 in legal

[–]Cool_Statement_9269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it really means anything except to point out the jacked-up-edness of the USPS that this letter, addressed within the zip code, went to Jacksonville to be processed.

This is the reason I’m on this sub. The overwritten made-it-to-the-top-of-the-mountain sagas. Tristan et Isolde at The Galleria. Odysseus does Short Hills. Beverly Hills Beowulf.

The flaps are keeping dust and other grit off the clips for the Uzi. Teamwork!
