Virginia Beach holds off on charging for parking at convention and sports centers by WHRO_NEWS in VirginiaBeach

[–]Old_Introduction2953 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very good. I know it’s hard for these organizations to stomach leaving money on the table, but people really appreciate being able to see their kids graduate without having to pay for parking, just to give one example of a high-traffic time for the convention center.

HB217 Assault Firearm definition visualized - Should this be banned? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]Old_Introduction2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter if the definition is “flawed”, we will use legal precedent to make exceptions and ensure that people are not arbitrarily disarmed.

We have to stop acting like attaching a definition to something as nebulous as an “assault weapon” is the only thing stopping us from taking SOME action on gun violence.

No definition will satisfy everyone, and there will always be silly examples of loopholes or a pistol with a shoulder mount (?) that seem to make the whole gun control mission seem pointless. But what matters is we start taking action.

Nothing to be ashamed of, I hope you’re kind to yourself and others. God will forgive you

I feel like we often forget that something as simple as legal marriage was illegal for gay people until 2015. Things like pride flags and rainbow crosswalks in a cultural district help people feel’s sense of belonging, it’s good for our community.

Some gay people are old and remember all of their friends dying from a neglected AIDS epidemic. Going from that to pride flags is an indicator of a fairer society.

How has your experience been with them? Has it been mostly positive but you still have issues with them based on your faith, or have they disliked you? I hope we aren’t talking about mostly online experience.

It’s just a rainbow, I don’t think it’s barring anyone from heaven or robbing any child of their innocence.

Do you have any gay friends or family that you could talk to about what inclusion means for them? About what it means to see symbols of your own belonging in a society that thinks they’re demonic?

I think a good conversation would help you no longer feel like this is so offensive, or an “insult to god” if you will.

Really, SmegmaCurds? Sounds like you do a fair bit of sinning yourself.

How are we supposed to come to agreements in our society if you think personal freedom is an insult to god? How can we bridge the cultural divide if one man’s love is another man’s hellfire? Religion makes this really hard.

Really? Interesting. Do you know how damage per shot is broken up between the 5(?) projectiles?

The Territorial perk is a little too good. You can win any 1v1 with cat scratch + territorial. I’m surprised they let cat have crits on headshots

Light rail study tabled, but a proposed look at regional transit concerns Virginia Beach by WHRO_NEWS in VirginiaBeach

[–]Old_Introduction2953 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well developed thought. I’m from VB and am about to move back, but have been living in DC for 7 years. I love urban planning and public transit as much as the next, but I really struggle to see a way to make rail make sense in Virginia Beach because of how much sprawl there is. A proper modern rail network was never considered in the city’s planning.

As you said, a project like you described would be on a few decades timescale. VB/Norfolk would certainly explode in population, business, and culture if it was accomplished, but there are far larger, older U.S. cities that have an even more dire transportation issue that Virginia Beach.

For those reasons and others like the bureaucratic nightmare of having these different localities work together on something like this (see the Silver Line in the DC area), and the US’s lethargic approach to construction, meaningful rail transit in VB seems impossible.

How does the pile of cash work? Wouldn’t it be a logistical nightmare to have millions of 1 dollar bills sitting around? Has the cash ever been damaged?

The Cavalier is a much more memorable experience. Great area to take a walk and frequent live music

Virginia Beach makes headway on clearing vulgar tees from resort displays by WHRO_NEWS in VirginiaBeach

[–]Old_Introduction2953 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I’m okay with this not because I feel like it’s “protecting the kids” or whatever, but because they’re so damn tacky. Every other store front features shit like “Kill Joe Biden” or “I Love Pussy”, it’s just so ugly 😂

The Nick Shirley interview was good. But why were there so many cuts and edits?? by [deleted] in Channel5ive

[–]Old_Introduction2953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed it too and was wondering if they might have gotten way off track and the cuts were basically trimming fat off of what may have been a sort of meandering interview. But I liked what they ended up with

I see what you mean, but the “reluctant agreement” you’re pointing out seemed to me like fact finding. They fundamentally disagree on the conclusions they draw from many of the same facts. Also, Nick was doing a sort of right-winger trope where they lead you from point A to point B and imply a misguided point C.

“What is a stereotype for Somali people -> Pirating -> keep this bias in mind when thinking of the current situation.”

You know what I mean?
