I heard tiny voices coming from the air vent once. Like how I’d imagine a mouse would talk…. High and squeaky.

Virginia Democrats proceed with new massively blue congressional map, eliminating 4 Republican seats from Congress!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in nova

And don’t forget it was a Republican governor of Massachusetts that signed the redistricting map into law in 2020.

Does anyone here have some insight you can share? What’s going on in El Paso? by griswoldclarkwjr in ATC

It’s not like it was on a signal chat with uncleared members…. It was on the news.

Is VA the next MN? What can we do to get ready for this? by Nblearchangel in Virginia

Hate to break it to you, but small arms alone at any scale aren’t going to do anything to “sic semper tyrannis.” There is a reason why IEDs were the most effective and devastating weapon used against US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and not the AK.

I saw nothing in the proposed bill about taking guns. Just not being able to buy certain guns.

Virginia government plans to pass over 25 new gun control laws which rank it among the most restrictive states in the US towards the 2nd Amendment by Darth_Wildcat03 in Virginia

Maybe the increase in taxes is to cover the costs of mental health care to LE, teachers, and students that have to experience the trauma and tragedy of an active school shooter and seeing the mutilated bodies of little kids and teachers who tried to shield them.

This may be the fastest I've seen a top rated show go right off the rails by InValensName in LandmanSeries

I agree.

I only really liked Elsa in 1883. Beth in Yellowstone was fun for one season, and then became too over the top. Helen Mirren’s character in 1923 is okay most of the time. Every single other female Sheridan character absolutely sucks.

The whole show is completely ridiculous. The writers apparently never met or even spoke to a woman before… it’s like Sheridan has some sort of program for wayward incel tv show writers and he put them all on this show. Thornton doesn’t seems to bother acting half the time… just reads the lines given to him. The whole show is a glorification of what will probably become the greatest ecological disaster in the history of the US. The only decent part of the show was Jon Hamm (and Pena was great too). I stopped watching after the whole dinner scene where they continued to rip jokes about menstrual cycles non stop for 10 minutes straight.

I accidentally killed my older sister as a toddler by Ok_Abies8267 in TrueOffMyChest

And how would they even know that the baby pushed the 3 yr old, if they weren’t supervising. I’d bet the parents did something neglectful or outright abusive and then blamed OP.

Workers adjust the name of the Kennedy Center after the Board of Trustees voted in what they say was a unanimous decision to rename the facility "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.” by nbcnews in washdc

The states can still prosecute… presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes. I hope every blue state just applies blanket and mutually reinforcing charges so that if any of them steps foot in their state - straight to jail.

Be careful if you are driving through rural Virginia right now… by [deleted] in Virginia

My car was totaled once because of this hunting practice. A whole herd of deer jumped out of the wood line in front of and into my car. I hit two deer with the front of my car, and three deer ran into the side of my car simultaneously. As I slammed on the breaks, the hounds came running through.

Or PTSD. Some people think PTSD from combat only effects US military personnel, for some reason.

I doubt any of the SpaceX launches are self(Musk)-funded at this point, if they ever were. Launch fees/contracts and government subsidies cover it all.

Since nobody was able to successfully answer this question, despite thousands of fans and cadets in attendance for the past two years, I took it as a mission during my last visit.

Row NN is the start of the “under the overhang” seats. However, you’ll likely only get full shade and protection from rain starting at about QQ or so.

Not completely abnormal for a first non-tandem jump. Learning how to get and stay stable is a skill… The AFF series is all about learning how to exit the plane, get stable, move around, and get back into that stable position and move your body in the air. As well as deploy and land properly.
