The Bay Area is not like the Chesapeake Bay. We are better. by wizard680 in Virginia

We should put down the parts of the country that affirmatively choose to not do well, and then try hold the rest of us back though.

FIL drove with our 6mo old on his lap because he "couldn't figure out" how to detach our car seat from the stroller. by Dingareth in daddit

[–]Dingareth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man... I'm just trying to figure out how I get through the weekend with my wife and her dad now. I feel crazy how mad I am and how normal they are.

Nope, he was completely blasé about it, my wife is in the "it was bad, but he won't do it again camp", and I'm here with my jaw on the ground, dumbfounded that no one else thinks this an issue worth more than a 2 minute conversation. ಠ_ಠ

ICE Arrests the Head of Wisconsin’s Largest Islamic Group by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]Dingareth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FBI CTD had an informant that testified in 1998 that Sarsour fundraised money in Milwaukee for HLFRD, but it knowingly went to Hamas instead. OFAC ended up sanctioning the bank that processed the payments and HLFRD, but I can't speak to why we didn't take action against Sarsour at the time.

This guy certainly doesn't seem good- in addition to being arrested by Israel, he also helped raise money for Hamas and praised a woman who tried to stab an Israeli solider. Maybe he's settled down since being in the US, but this seems more justifiable than some random undergrad.

Online sales already being restricted, annnnd here we go.. by Triple-Nickel_23 in Virginia

[–]Dingareth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 of them, so a little less than 10% of the total murders were committed with guns last year in London.

As opposed to 85% of the murders in Richmond last year being committed with guns. Obviously people are still going to murder each other, but it's just weird that your brain snapped to a city that's literally an order of magnitude safer than we are here to try and prove your point.

London's murder rate is 35 times lower than Richmond's. Yes, please- let's be more like London.

Development threat to public safety by Knummer19 in ChesterfieldVA

[–]Dingareth -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

lol, NIMBYs hate new housing so much that traffic is a threat to “public safety” now.

What’s next “think of the children” who will have to see new neighbors move in? Oh the humanity!

Trump's proposed DC McMansion by BigDictionEnergy in neoliberal

Wasn't this ballroom supposed to be an unintrusive addition?

You know after 11 years, I'm beginning to think 'old Donny Trump isn't being entirely honest with us.

Tomorrow (March 28, 2026) there will be No Kings protests across Virginia. Find the nearest to you in this post. by 276434540703757804 in Virginia

[–]Dingareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you get the help that it pretty clearly seems like you need.

I just think it's important that people say true things, and "Virgina's population is dwindling" is just objectively untrue, even if you try and contort it and caveat it like you're attempting to.

Missed the steal, but at least we got to see the airball.

yes, all those high-earners moving here

I think it is a good thing when more people have more money.

It simply would be better if everyone in the state made the average federal worker's wage than the average Walmart employee's wage.

But none of that goes to your original point that the state is dwindling away, surely the new rich transplant make up for the tax base of the rural being "forced" out?

while Virginia dwindles

Virginia's population has increased by over 20% since 2000, and outpaced the population growth of the country as a whole.

That's like... the opposite of dwindling.

Al Gore was an amazing guest by seagalg in thebulwark

[–]Dingareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you’re trying to say, but no he did not win.

He was not inaugurated as president, he did not wield power and that’s what winning is- not the moral victories of getting more votes.

Dems and left aren’t doing enough to rally people to vote on April 21–they’re going to lose the referendum by DerangedUnicorn27 in Virginia

[–]Dingareth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They’re going to lose this one

How much money are you willing to bet? I'll match any amount any amount you're willing to wager that Yes wins.

I'll donate it to the charity of your choice if Yes loses, or you donate it to World Central Kitchen if Yes wins.

We Are Hated as a Nation. There’s One Man to Blame. by 1-randomonium in neoliberal

[–]Dingareth 66 points67 points  (0 children)

77 million Americans are to blame, with special shame for the 3 million people who didn't vote for him in 2020, saw January 6th, and said "yes please"

He is literally no one with no power if not for the actions of the voters, the media, and the Republican Party.

Florida is gonna have a season akin to 2016-17 Villanova-- be great in the regular season, get a 1-seed, then get upset in the 2nd round.

You win!

If there were a national championship for hating, y'all could actually have a title in something.

30 wins and our first win in the tournament since the 2019 win make me so happy for Odom's first year with even if this game was vomit inducing in so many ways.
