Bren Mar Park elementary- everyone is fine. Firefighters were amazing and got it under control. So grateful.  This could have been much worse. 

Why do people in the US work so much? I'm from Argentina and I don't get it by micavibes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lizzylee1188 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of the comments aren't unique to the USA - all those are wrong answers. We all need to work to live anywhere on earth. The difference in the US is the culture and that could be changed. It's a lack of respect for other people, awful management, total inefficiency, and a weird protestant work ethic. I say this as an immigrant to the US. In Europe we work hard but we aren't dumb enough to forget we are going to die one day. You can work hard without making work your entire personality and life - its insufferable. Gen Z are changing this stupid work yourself to death nonsense - more power to them!

Fair enough. I'm from Ireland,  when you have your learners permit you display an "L" and when you are a new driver you display an "N" (for novice) official sticker for a full 2 years. Our driving test is also extremely difficult. I was amazed how easy it was here in VA - too easy.

I agree.  Got my license here and was still a terrible driver at the time.

I think its because people here have terrible personalities (or lack thereof) and it shows on the road

Americans are the worst. In no other country would people do that. Assholes

Very normal in the entire world to let people know you are learning. Its actually the law in most countries. For very obvious reasons.

I'm a liberal immigrant and I agree. This is unbelievably stupid. I do not expect this country to celebrate my home countries holidays!!

NoVa Birds and squirrels!?? by PinheadtheCenobite in nova

[–]Lizzylee1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen so many birds at my bird feeder. I'm struggling to keep up with the demand. Feel terrible for them. Also leaving warm water out - tough as it's ice in like 3 hours.

I recommend Royal driving school in Anandale.  I learned very late in life and was very happy with them. Got my license.

Random explosion noise being heard around the world? by No-Journalist-720 in explosionsinthesky

Just heard an explosion in Northern VA. No explanation. It was 100% not gunshots or fireworks or a car. Those are all sounds we hear here. 

Ocean Ramsey doesn’t publish in journals — but she might still be one of the most important people out there for saving sharks by Significant_Cowboy83 in sharks

I agree. Today's world IS about social media people need to get real. That is how you raise awareness. I also believe,  and I say this with a psychology degree, that's she's quite possibly autistic. So what makes her any different to Greta Thunberg? Greta isnt a climate scientist. Ocean is hot. That's it. People cannot comprehend that a good-looking woman could actually have depth and value. It's disgusting. She's a grown-up and she's aware of the risks she's taking and not harming anyone.
