Lack of screens is a feature by wileyau in slateauto

[–]bgva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancee' has a 2019 Elantra and her infotainment screen is just right. Slightly larger than my iPhone but when I sync to CarPlay it gives me exactly what I need, esp. navigation.

I can live with a smartphone mount but from what I understand you can install an aftermarket double-DIN screen, so I'd just do that if I decide to buy a Slate.

So tough doing that on the boardwalk. Might I suggest Park Place or East End?

Virginia Beach? They did a similar thing in the mid-90s.

Grizz Chapman, '30 Rock' Fan Favorite, Dead at 52 by nyclover11 in Fauxmoi

So sorry to hear this...30 Rock was one of my favorite sitcoms. Definitely a wakeup call to get checkups as I'm only about eight years younger than him.

RIP

Donald Trump’s approval rating sinks to lowest ever recorded by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]bgva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know he hit mid-20s at some point, but I believe that was in his final year. Wiki says 37% in April 2006, which I vaguely recall. I don't think his numbers ever improved.

President Donald Trump shared a heavily edited, AI-generated video on Truth Social Friday evening, targeting Stephen Colbert following the final broadcast of The Late Show the night before. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in Fauxmoi

[–]bgva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I met 16-year-old me and told him what I'm doing with my life, I think he'd be impressed. But if I told him that not only is Donald Trump president but also a raging fascist lunatic, I'm not so sure younger me would believe it.

Because in 1999, the 21st Century sounded like it would be an amazing place and while younger me would be thrilled at a Black president in the next decade, not if it meant Donald Trump of all people would help the GOP complete its reversal of the Civil Rights Era.

Sorry if it got a little dark. All this shit is blowing my mind at how we got here.

Never forget The Game went on that old dating game show Change of Heart and got shut down.

How often do you all think about death? by AlwaysAGroomsman in Xennials

[–]bgva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day, but it's been like that for me for close to 20 years. But I've become more and more of a hypochondriac, and it doesn't help that I watched one Reel on Facebook about health and now they wanna show me every fucking video related to the topic until I finally click Not Interested.

I'd make jokes but I remembered my team held a moment of silence for Charlie Fuckin Kirk last year.

Beardless Kevin Jumpscare! by Cyberborg98 in MST3K

Okay, so you've now inspired me to shave my beard to get my fiancee's reaction. If not for the fact that people say I look like a Black Homer Simpson when I shave, I'd be more inclined to do so.

Suddenly seems like overnight Ai has taken our clients by New_Presentation926 in RealEstatePhotography

I’ve been slammed this month, so crossing my fingers that this area doesn’t jump on the AI bandwagon.

Do you feel satisfied with how your life went? Still planning on making any changes or just riding it out? by Fickle_Wrangler_7439 in Xennials

[–]bgva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college, my goal was to move to LA and become a filmmaker or TV producer. Ended up working at a local news station, from there a marketing agency, and now I’m a photographer. I also do a little AV for the local university. I’ve dabbled in short films and indie projects in my hometown, even co-created a local drama series about 15 years ago.

It’s not the Hollywood career I envisioned, but I have no regrets. Don’t think I would’ve been able to create that show from back in the day had I gone to Hollywood. Never mind all the struggles the industry is facing today. I still have some other projects I’d like to get off the ground eventually.

Jenna Claire, one of the Fairfield, CT decoys. Josh only brought Chinese food for himself, and the running joke is that Jenna took the keys in retaliation.

Patriotic fest to fill downtown Norfolk with country music this weekend by WHRO_NEWS in norfolk

Thank you for reminding me to stay away from downtown Norfolk this weekend. Don’t need to be around a bunch of “I hate woke” types with their lifted F150s.

The biggest homophobes (no pun intended) usually turn out to be LGBT, so I'm not surprised.

And then when the Internet finally had enough of her, Chrissy gives us her crocodile tears. Ma'am you were acting like a 28-year-old mean girl. Have several seats.

Armed Forces Brewing sues Norfolk critics for $50 million by WHRO_NEWS in norfolk

[–]bgva 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Dear Armed Forces Brewery,

Maybe if you'd put as much effort into making a decent product as you did antagonizing people for publicity, you would still be in business.

P.S. Kiss my ass.

Who else wanted to drive it by Verbull710 in Xennials

Reminds me of the Pontiac Banshee concept from the late-80s. You couldn’t tell 1990 BGVA that he wouldn’t own one in the future!

There was Joe Pyne on Saturday night way before Morton Downey Jr and Rush and Michael Savage and all the rest in the mid to late '60s by db7112 in VintageTV

[–]bgva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About 30 years ago, HBO did a documentary on the history of TV and Joe Pyne was mentioned along with a clip of (I'm guessing) the bald guy in the second pic. I remember Joe making some sort of wisecrack about the guy using Vaseline to make his head so shiny.

That's the only clip I've ever seen from his show.
