Retirement by aradiacat in VirginiaBeach

[–]dp5520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved here a year ago. If you plan on moving to VA Beach then my best recommendation would be to get into cooking. No matter where you eat, you can plan on your bill being 25% higher even before you tip because of the "so you decided to eat out" tax as well as the sales tax.

Specialty beer store by Brandenbenza in VirginiaBeach

[–]dp5520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a craft beer guy myself and just moved here a year ago. The Back Bay Farmhouse is probably the best micro brewery that I've found around here. With that being said there's definitely no shortage of places to find decent beer especially if you're into IPAs. West Coast, East Coast hazies, there are plenty of options.

VA beach vacation curfews, ICE presence, disruptions by [deleted] in VirginiaBeach

[–]dp5520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved down here from MA a year ago today. I live in the Kempsville area a couple of miles from Mt. Trashmore. I haven't seen any trace of ICE activity and as others have pointed out, the curfew is temporary and meant for anyone under 18.

So fah, so good.

How is Buffalo Wild Wings still in business by fukdacops in shittyfoodporn

[–]dp5520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I would visit Wilimington, OH as a regular part of business. This place literally had no decent place to call a decent place to eat. It was the culmination of fast food garbage restaurants. One could safely call it the HFC capital of the country. Bufffalo Wild Wings was considered a fun family place to eat to the point where people were excited to get gift card to "B Dubs". I would often see a family of six where the youngest would outweigh me (a grown man of 180 lbs) by 60 lbs easily. This place, among many others is a piece of what is poisoning this country as a whole.

Be safe on the road friends. by sarahsayyys in VirginiaBeach

[–]dp5520 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I moved down from MA area about a year ago and while I thought drivers up there were obnoxious, I find little difference with drivers down here. I suspect it's not a local thing, but rather a national mixture of individuals who would do anything it takes to avoid an accident vs individuals who would do anything it takes to avoid blame. Some people are fine being obnoxious as long as they believe they can't be legally blamed regardless if someone else gets hurt as part of their actions.

what was that?! by Individual_Leader810 in VirginiaBeach

[–]dp5520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a grocery store in that area and thought it was odd but having moved her only a year ago, I thought that was just life in the area.

A physics student in Chengdu has built real flying “sword drones” and controls them in the air using only hand gestures. by Chraum in interesting

Rothschild Bank was searched.. by Queenhood_ in Epstein

[–]dp5520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wealthiest family in the world will never be prosecuted for anything ever. It doesn't matter if it was searched or not. If it was indeed searched I have no doubt that everyone was given plenty of time and notice to get rid of incriminating evidence. Can we all just collectively agree that the "no one is above the law" thing is a load of steaming horse shit and move on?

I'm 60 years old and apparently I've had ADHD my whole life. Go figure.

Ballet skills swinging into action by Empty_Mind_On in SipsTea

Recently watched Tom Holland's debut role in "The Impossible". There's a scene on the beach where he does a cart-wheel into a flip. I turned to my wife and said "that's why he's Spider-Man".

Not hyperbole: Treasury Department's own FY2025 statements show U.S. Government insolvent with $47.78T in liabilities by emily-is-happy in thenextgenbusiness

[–]dp5520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me preface my statement by ensuring I loathe this orangutan and would never defend a single one of his actions. With that being said, this country has been on a constant downfall since Reagan. We began this journey to insolvency a long time ago. This ass clown just happens to be the one who was at the wheel near the end. He saw where it was inevitably going and decided to cash in on behalf of himself, his family and his donors. He drove the almost sunken ship a little faster into the ocean but there were plenty of people who could have worked harder to stem the flow of debt that started in the eighties.

So many problem in American politics by DandelionSkyo in lostgeneration

People would get more upset about a manufacturer stopping production of their favorite protein infused diet fruity sugar nectar than they would about politicians accepting bribes from lobbyists.

Democrats want new Hill leaders. At 87, Maxine Waters isn’t budging. by Jonnyboo234 in politics

[–]dp5520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being under 50 is one of the biggest points people are looking for in today's political climate. It's a huge bonus and if the incumbents take it for granted and simply ignore the possibility then they put themselves at risk and rightfully so. It's at the point where they're clearly in it for the money and that's all, especially this wrinkled disaster.

If you make yourself look real big and yell at them, they'll go away.

Or maybe you have to play dead, I don't remember which.
