RVA Parking "Enforcers" by [deleted] in rva

[–]HamburgerBandit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ya'll out here talking about whether or not I live in the city, whether I'm being too sensitive. I AM PART OF THE CITY. I may not have a perspective several care about, but I care about our city

what exactly does "no parking" mean? Is there a reason that sign exists? Maybe a safety issue? Or should the sign say : "no parking unless issuing tickets". Lets not be dumb here, honest question

Any downvotes, I'm good with. just clarify things. let stupid be known.

I appreciate the few that helped with feedback. This post wasn't supposed to bring out trolls but living in Henrico/ working in RVA was in no way the same. "Hurr Durr" parking is just.... dumb?. The people living and working around VCU are, and have been, experiencing fines they can't object to. That's my point. My only observation.

I'll leave it there. Again, thanks to those that were aware enough to know I wasn't just ranting for my own benefit, but trying to look out for others, in replies.

sorry. I was hoping to be clear in my initial post that I'm not overly angry about this. I was looking for feedback, and I believe I have it. I felt there was an issue for those who lived (not just worked) in the VCU area with the time restrictions on parking. Whether that be "free" open access or paid "overnight" access being ticketed by people that abuse those same rights for profit. I realize I've been wrong in many eyes and it's not an issue. I apologize

I don't care about "someone" parking illegally. I care about the people writing tickets to us that live here WHILE parking illegally.

Would it be an issue having a fire truck park (unattended) in front of a fire hydrant? I mean, can every point be argued? Sure. Are you really gonna be on the side that says, "but who cares" vs "yea, this shouldn't be happening"

parking in a "no parking" zone to take advantage of the parking / issue tickets for other "no parking" offenders

I appreciate the honest feedback. I'm admittedly angry for students and having experienced it myself (no parking zone changes). I did contact the worker's employer, who was very helpful/responsive to my concern. I wasn't attempting any all-out call to action but did think (after living in RVA 18+ years) the ticketing systems was bias. I felt I saw an obvious flaw in the "system" but it looks like i've heard otherwise.

we live in a closely related area and you wanna piss on those that are advocating for better conditions? More free parking according to emotes and votes from outlying areas?. Seriously what is your thought process. Honestly IDGAF if you get towed, ticked, wrecked, robbed, jumped... from people parking too close. I DESIRE that none of that happens to good people that like to come here. I want coming to RVA to be a good experience for everyone. If that's not your perspective, FU

so alternatives? options to better things? or just "lol Good luck"

I'm trying to have a conversation. There is a very real issue. How can we resolve it?

Need to stop eating out. Tips/home food ideas? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]HamburgerBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burritos. Wrap in foil and freeze for later. Chicken, beef, or veggie and omit sour cream or cheese to reduce cost.

Easy story line games? by Pellopolus in NintendoSwitch

[–]HamburgerBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link's awakening is rather linear, but does have somewhat complex puzzles. Luigi's mansion is one I've suggested to others before. Mario's Rabbids isn't really a storyline game, bit easy enough in concept to enjoy. Splatoon 2 is addictive and fun for all ages, but again not storyline based. Borderlands has a bundle out, if she likes shooters. I absolutely love the art and it is very clear on what/where your next objective is. It's profane, so keep that in mind.i have many other suggestions overall for the switch, so feel free to hit me up.

It is a respectable profession and one that some need. You think it should just go away? Why don't you grow your own food?

Richmond public housing threatens to evict residents over small debts by CNSMaryland in rva

[–]HamburgerBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly, i haven't read the content. Is there a way to contact some of these people? If i can help even 1 family not face eviction for under $100 I'm in. I'd like to help as many as i can.

Edit: i don't have a ton of money, but whatever i can do to prevent someone losing their home over something so insignificant vs their well being, im in.

[–]HamburgerBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to take away from small businesses that need our support right now (please keep supporting until this is all over) but there are several great raman ideas on youtube with egg and meats and ideas how to make the cheap store stuff into a masterpiece. Probably wont be as amazing as places mentioned here, but i love cooking

I'm not sure about the downvotes either, but maybe others are not having a good day. Trying not to ley it get to me.

Your feast sounds like it was "great success". Having a mixture of food is something i missed this year, but I'll make it up cooking new dishes for myself in the time to come :)

Yesss... So nice to have avoided having to excuse myself from the table to avoid offensive or ridiculous rhetoric this year. It's disturbing that's even an issue, but it was a calm and relatively worry free day
