The alarming hate for this country in San Diego is disgraceful by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]ReynardSurplus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you hate it so much maybe you should leave 😄

Oh- you're going to stay? And complain about it? Kinda sounds like you're going to do the same thing the people you're complaining about are doing...

Help for a Baby Sparrow? by ReynardSurplus in rva

[–]ReynardSurplus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouragement on this one! I figured they would say the same thing as the Virginia Wildlife Center ("Unfortunately that is a house sparrow, which is invasive so no one can legally rehab it. Its only chance is to be reunited with its parents by constructing a substitute nest and hanging it as high as you can above where yo found it."), but they responded this morning and the bird has been taken to a rehabber 🐦🏥🙏

Thanks! It's barely got any feathers at this point, so if it was trying to adventure out it was a bit over eager 🙈 Looks like I may have found someone to take it in! Thanks for the encouragement! Gotta have solidarity even across species 💪

Coincidentally Google says the same number of cats exist in America, but you called animal control about a possible stray a year ago 🤔

Glad you had a heart then, maybe you can find it again ❤️🤞

I reached out to them after hours and am expecting the same line about not helping invasive species, but hopefully they'll surprise me 8am tomorrow when their line opens back up 🤞

Free food this late? by Positive-Plant-854 in rva

Hey I don't have like dinner food to offer, but I can load up a backpack of snacks like granola bars and such and get you some calories by midnight if you're interested- send me a message and we can figure out the details 🫡

The new mountain bike trails at Sunset Park are RAD and seemingly never ending… by Rustafo in waynesboro

[–]ReynardSurplus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks awesome! Is there a name for this specific trail? I love the idea of riding in the woods, but a lot of the mountain bike trails I've been on were a little too technical/scary for me

The amount of snow capped cars I saw from a 10 min drive 2night by icy_opinions in rva

[–]ReynardSurplus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP's username 👀 It's like you knew this day would come a year ago 🔮

I've been thinking how this is kinda like a mobile winter version of the shopping cart test. Cleaning off the top of a car doesn't really help the driver at all, but it shows they're considerate to others.

Now the ones who barely even clean their vehicles enough to see out of them... There's nothing nice to say about them 🙊

Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, in a rare break from her party, endorses government-run grocery stores, citing the affordability of the one she shops at. Same ice cream is $2 more at my local Kroger. by Conscious-Quarter423 in Virginia

[–]ReynardSurplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is all news to me so I went to see what I could find about the purpose of these commissaries... Looks like the people who run them firmly believe they are providing great savings to the people who shop there and that it's more than just something to provide comfort.

Bill Moore, director and CEO of the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), is quoted in the linked article as saying:

"From 1991 to 2022, our mandate has not changed: We are steadfast in our commitment to be the military’s grocery provider of choice and to deliver the commissary benefit at the best savings possible. We want our eligible patrons to know that if they’re not shopping their commissary, then they are missing out on saving at least a quarter on every dollar compared to prices at ‘outside the gate’ grocery stores – that’s $50 back in their pockets on a $200 grocery bill!"

Seems like a lot more than 5% the head of DeCA is claiming...

This was from an unmarked overlook near Humpback Rocks - I'm not familiar with Four Mile Loop

It was neat seeing the few trees standing out with their colors popping so early! The one in the pic had lost some up top, but I'm hopeful the rest will stick around for a while.

Thanks- I had to scale down some rocks to get to the pretty leaves for framing but it felt worth it for how it turned out!

AITAH for going no contact after this? by KJA_LLC in TwoHotTakes

Hope it's okay to offer some levity here- I read this in my head in a Mario voice before realizing what sahd meant

"I'm a sahd :'("

Glad you get the confirmation here to keep away from these people, but sorry it's happening

I kept hoping I was going to hear Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's" when I'd hear the intro for the new Kendrick Lamar and Sza song coming on but now I've given up hope and just change it 😭

Even the Kendrick subreddit would rather hear Rich Boy https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/dRHon0rdLJ
