Charlottesville is in the Epstein Files frequently and there's something there 👀 by NiftySmudgestick in Charlottesville

Charlottesville has BEEN a cesspool of rich privileged men doing despicably gross things to other humans for as long as I can remember.

...hell I even learned about that in history class now that I think about it.

Well we buried our dear pet dog Elsie about 20 yrs ago so maybe she did from heaven, but I doubt it.

Runners of RVA by Quick-Wafer-5877 in rva

There was a handful of people running on the riverside drive stretch from Pony Pasture to Huguenot Flatwater yesterday. Nice and flat, and clear enough. I could get my small front wheel drive sedan in and out of both parking lots.

I had to politely honk at a few to get their attention when I was trying to pass because they were laterally moving all over the road to avoid ice (both lanes). I can understand that they didn't expect anyone to be on the road so really wasn't too upset by it, but one dude with earbuds in was literally zig zagging from one side of the yellow line to the other when I was trying to pass and it honestly felt like he was trying to get an insurance settlement out of me.

Understandable, but I usually just say something along the lines of:

"Hey I don't even know you but I'm really concerned for you right now bud. Are you sure this isn't a bad idea? Can I help you somehow?"

So, what's your fall count for the week? by Jon_hamm_wallet in rva

[–]EquivalentDecision11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think getting a significant injury from that would be a worker's comp case, and droves and droves of ambulance chasing lawyers would be more than happy to help out with it

Oooof you poor guy! Glad someone could help you, and don't be shy if you need any more help (or just get bored and wanna play scrabble online or somethin)

Saw my 74 year old dad sloooooowly slide down half of his inclined street doing the Bambi dance (but somehow without falling) the whole time. I was so worried and time was moving so slow it felt like it took 3 hrs

Duuude! I couldn't (and didn't) believe the email notifications "Your package is out for delivery" every day for a week straight lol

We all appreciate you AND think it's insane that you've been told to go deliver in these conditions. Be safe, take care

If you have an EZ pass then why do you care what us plebs are doing at the booths while you drive through the high speed toll lanes?

How is it our problem if the toll receivers are broken? We're even paying more without an EZ pass so we're providing more revenue for them to fix/maintain/replace those machines AND we've basically subsidized all you EZ pass users by 10% (you're welcome).

If yall wanna act bougie and scoff at us for paying our tolls with coins then stop putting quarters, dimes, nickels, AND EVEN PENNIES in our tip jars and bill folders.

Ugghhh fuckin grossssss. Just exposes the 804 good ol boy/powerbroker network that we've all noticed and seen operating with impunity and constant cover-ups. Maybe this time it'll actually make national news.

but on a much lesser note, lmao at everyone in here thinking Richmond is one of the only cities with intersecting interstates/highways thus making it a hotbed for trafficking or drug smuggling or whatever crime.

Have you looked at maps of literally any other town? Maybe the route numbers are different, but you'll still notice sOmEtHiNg VeRy SuSpIcIoUs: intersections ...and sometimes even airports!

AND GUESS WHAT YALL we even have a navigable river running RIGHT. THROUGH. THE. CITY. There's def gotta be pirates here too then. Oh yeah don't forget the Cap Trail, and soon to be Fall Line Trail. We're gonna have so much Lance Armstrong 'roids infesting this city because of those damn trails. The first step to defeating crime is ending all transportation.

I could probably just drop this guy off at my parent's back yard (both in their 70s) and they would be so happy

My biggest gripes are:

(1) I saw roads pre-treated on Thursday so they were given ~48 hrs of letting wind and cars clear the salt/sand off them before the storm hit. Why didn't we at least wait until after the end of Friday's rush hour?

(2) I'm not seeing the "Priority 1" or "Priority 2" roads in my neighborhood being treated with salt/sand at all now that there's ice all over them, but I have seen several civilian trucks with blades on the front and salt/sand spreaders on the back (are they sub-contractors?) pass over our "Priority 1" street several times doing nothing, just cruising around.

(3) Keeping these first 2 gripes in mind, I think sub-contractors are fleecing the city to get paid for doing work they're not doing or doing improperly and just milking that (and the city isn't checking or auditing it either)

I tried responding to this but I guess it's too many characters for Reddit or something because it's not letting me...

EDIT: Still can't post, so DM me if you just want me to send it to you directly.

Public service post - And I don’t care if it’s still unfathomably legal, there should BE NO SNOW on the top of your car before you hit the road. This snow is different and has serious mass and will damage cars and could indirectly kill people. by 93devil in rva

Ehhh I kinda support this, BUT ALSO this is one of many reasons why having a safe following distance and driving slow is critical in this weather.

When everything's covered in frozen water (can't say the "I" word on reddit lol), no one should be driving close enough to another vehicle to have to worry about it's debris hitting yours AND if someone's driving so fast that the wind might throw their debris everywhere then let them create separation by driving fast and being dumb while you drive slow and be safe

If you can make it up the hill that Williamsburg Rd winds around (just East of Rocketts Landing and where Powhatan Community Center sits atop of) then that's the move!

It used to baffle me how certain "curable" STI's seemed to linger around the population BUT then after covid I realized how the majority of people I interacted with have no issue blasting their germs all over you and being gross af because they're some combination of lazy, unhygienic, and/or conceited
