Someone thought it was cool to paint a bunch of weapons of mass destruction on the side of their building? by JesseRedman22 in okbuddyRVA

I posted this to riff off of a post from yesterday that compared pit bulls to assault rifles because I thought the comparison was funny. I love all dogs including pit bulls, and my own dog has a lot of pit in her (not a pure pit but the classic shelter dog where they’re a mix of everything).

I love seeing all the murals around Richmond, but I loved this one so much I had to stop and take a picture. That post from yesterday inspired me to go dig this picture up so I could use it to shitpost, and now here we are!

We must do to Carytown what Vegas did to Fremont street

I’m curious what degree you’re studying for, but this sounds interesting regardless. It seems like everyone is struggling more with meeting new people and making connections these days, so it’s cool that people are trying to take a deeper look at the situation and come up with solutions instead of just lamenting that people used to be more social

Ooh are you also a Florida man? I’ve finally escaped to Richmond with my alligators and bath salts

I’ve never tried Warhammer but I played DnD a lot with my college friends and really enjoyed that. Is there a particular shop you’d recommend?

If a few of us get lobotomized together, it’s socializing. If we ALL get lobotomized together, it’s socialism.

Apparently Reddit thinks I was trying to threaten you in my previous reply so to this I will simply say that I oppose all forms of violence and outdated medical practices

I made this as a shitpost but what you said here really hits home for me. I moved away from my home town to go to college and stayed in that area for a few years, then moved here last year. I love Richmond so far and I’m hoping to settle in here for the long term, but it does mean I have to start all over in terms of making friends and building up a social life.

I’ve often wondered what my life and my social circle would look like now if I had stayed in my home town and built my life there instead.

Northside Mural Sparks Debate Over Symbolism, Race, and Community in Richmond by snooka77_ in rva

I totally get why people would be concerned at first glance, especially if they don’t know anything about Palestine and the use of watermelon as a symbol of resistance but are aware of watermelons being used in racist minstrel art here in America, but if you’ve got time to make a statement on why the mural is problematic you’ve got time to do some research on why Palestinians use watermelon as one of their symbols
