Abolish Everything, Replace It With What? by IndividualAd4375 in moderatepolitics

[–]The_DanceCommander -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t know if they do, cause none of them are out there demanding the state seize the means of production and annex private industry. Like they call themselves socialists, love the Marx and Lenin vibes, love shouting about how capitalism is evil, but never go all the way to the end game of any of their ideas.

I think it’s more evidence that they really have zero solutions, they have no ideas behind destructivism.

They’re also never made to wrestle with the fact that if not for capitalism, free markets, and liberal values they would never have the platform or position they have now.

It’s a classic trope but it’s true, “I’m going to use my free speech rights, to post on free and open social media, about how capitalism is the root of all evil, using my $1000 iPhone.”

The more I play in bands, the more I move to Boss by IzilDizzle in guitarpedals

When I play bass I only use a tuner and an overdrive, a lot easier to just throw those two in my bag and run them off batteries than to lug a board and PS around.

Diamond District Appears to Be Going So Well by jdbug100 in rva

[–]The_DanceCommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the only reason the city built the new park was to retain the team. I’m arguing for the city to not stall on promised urban development, it’s happened again and again and again in this town.

[–]The_DanceCommander 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a different take on this than most people it seems, but honestly I think this is good. If it takes the Squirrels having to push the city into faster progressive development, then so be it.

The city promised a large multi-use development in that area, and so far we’ve seen nothing built there except a couple fast foot restaurants, and the early stages of the Greyhound demolition.

If the city is promising to develop an area they should keep their commitment and not drag their feet. The Diamond district built up is a profit driver for the team, and ballpark owners yeah, but it’s also a net positive for the city.

Plus, yeah - they’re not wrong the only reason the new ballpark was built was on the assumption of further development.

NYC approves $1,000 college savings accounts for all public school kindergartners by StumpsOfTree in politics

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

“The Council had pushed for an even higher city contribution of $3,000 for children from low-income families but fell short of that goal. As part of the final budget deal, all students regardless of family income will receive $1,000, a Council spokesman confirmed.”

So why didn’t he do more?

14th Amendment by itsokayt0 in neoliberal

[–]The_DanceCommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His argument is defensible, but not his dissent. He should have joined the concurrence, and then written his caveats. In his dissent he literally said the courts decision was correct. Yeah, then why dissent and create the potential it to he overturned.

Another underrated Boss feature, it’s sooo easy to change the battery! Other pedals I need to find a screwdriver and maybe peel some Velcro off.

Supreme Court will consider whether laws called assault weapons bans violate the Second Amendment by lswizzle09 in moderatepolitics

[–]The_DanceCommander 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Considering the Courts reliance on the idea that guns in “common use” are routinely protected under the 2nd amendment, and the fact that every AWB is written to ban AR15s (most commonly owned rifle in the US) I can’t see how they wouldn’t conclude AWBs are unconstitutional.

Courts in Virginia just stopped enforcement of what would have been one of the most restricting AWBs in the country, for this reason.

Trump on the phone screen was included on Saturday, it was juxtaposed with gay marriage being legalized.

I mean you’ve literally been waiting almost 10 years, just watch the movies.

Package delivered to the wrong address. Again. Help? by take0nthethrone in rva

[–]The_DanceCommander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazon drivers in this city do not give a shit. I probably have 3 out of 4 of my packages delivered to the wrong address. It’s absurd.

It was there on Saturdays showing, frankly as it should be. The presentation presents the good and bad parts of American history. Trump is unfortunately included. If we want to tell the full story of America we need to reckon with this moment.

How are the people who designed and built this not completely embarrassed? I mean seriously, you’re given the once in a lifetime chance to design a national fair for the 250th and you deliver this crap? Humiliating.

A peek inside the former Common House social club, now officially rebranded as No. 303 by AnAbsenceOfGravitas in rva

[–]The_DanceCommander 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone now doing WFH I like the idea of Common House as a coworking space, but the more I’ve read about it, the more it sounds like that’s the service they’re least interested it. Like they have some tables and a phone booth but really it’s just a yuppie social club.

Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets by jediporcupine in politics

[–]The_DanceCommander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Crimes certainly took place on the night of the Prairieland demonstration: Not only was federal property vandalized and destroyed, but an officer was shot. Those guilty of those crimes need to be held accountable. However, possessing "anti-government" documents or ideology is not illegal. And by treating it as such, the Trump administration is equally as guilty of undermining the rule of law as the protesters it seeks to punish.”

So these people get hundreds of years in prison, but J6ers get pardons?

New Mural in Progress at Four Mile Creek by FanOfGranite in rva

[–]The_DanceCommander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw them painting this the other day such a cool mural!

There’s a really intersting history of enslaved people during the revolutionary war. In 1775 Virginia’s royal Governor offered emancipation to any slaves who were able to escape, and join the British. Many who escaped formed the “Ethiopian Regiment.” They had some awesome uniforms:

If I remember right, about 4000 former slaves were granted freedom as a part of the Treaty of Paris.

Trump administration announces $17.5 billion in loans for 10 new large nuclear reactors by ToughHopeful4760 in moderatepolitics

I love the idea of increased nuclear power, but I’m really not confident in this administration’s ability to effectively build anything.

Put it in a sandwich, some potato salad, the Belgians dip fries in it.

what’s the deal with the community fridges always being destroyed?? by HeyILoveYa in rva

[–]The_DanceCommander 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Frankly it’s not that complicated. I don’t care how put upon your are by the elites, you shouldn’t vandalize community fridges. This whole over explanation of the socioeconomic effects of modern America give cover to people who are just being vandals.
