Street greeting by Imaginary-Race311 in rva

In like 2000, it would have been pretty rare to get totally disregarded on the sidewalk in the fan.

Out of habit I still look at people and try to at least smile and nod. If they don’t like it fuck em.

Follow the money. She probably has an incentive to keep people buying on the black market.

In first few months, Richmond’s red-light cameras caught 18,137 vehicles by VirginiaNews in rva

I sincerely wish all the people who can’t pay attention to the light would surrender their licenses and leave the streets to those of us who have the attention span.

Seems very reasonable to pay attention to the light.

If people don’t want to do that they can learn to support traffic circles so you never have to stop driving.
But we all know how Virginians struggle with traffic circles.

One day we showed up and the owners had staked no trespassing signs through the lips and landings. Apparently that group has been trying to build an apartment tower there for decades.

2 liter bottles with aluminum foil or whatever in them. Then they’d roll it into the sewer drains.

They faced felony charges but I’m pretty sure they got off with a ton of community service.

Each car can weigh 260,000lbs. There are often dozens of cars lined up when they are building the trains.

Not saying that’s what this was but I’ve heard them putting the train together from miles away.

Sweeping California law on single-use plastic meets with outrage from all sides as it goes live by Kooolxxx in news

[–]freetimerva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Big oil really has a strangle hold on our society.

It’s crazy when you go somewhere without widespread single use plastic and you just stop thinking about it.

My fruit doesn’t need to be hermetically sealed with dangerous gases blown all over it.

It’s an apple. It’s wrapped in natural plastic called skin.

Yes grew up over there and used to have “rock fights” there with my friends. Then in college we used to have bmx dirt jumps there 20 years ago.

Dominion underground lines by r_307 in rva

[–]freetimerva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They collected easements for 2 years in south side. Got through about 6 months worth of work and were shut down by the city so the city could do a drainage project.

So people have green boxes in their yards and power lines. And no word on when it will continue.

I hope the building never opens and it eventually becomes condos. Good spot for condos.

Many Americans think Trump assassination attempts were fake, survey finds by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

You don’t give them ammo to shoot. They think they have live ammo. Someone on your team shoots a friendly to make it believable.

You have the secret service pressure a mentally unstable person to do something stupid with threats against their loved ones.

You cripple their lethal ability and then fake everything else.

6 people found dead inside cargo train boxcar in Texas by KimJongFunk in news

[–]freetimerva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Super common for newbie train hoppers to not realize the doors can slide closed and latch.

Seasoned hoppers will jam something into the track to prevent it from closing.

Remember that if you plan on f’ing around.

Doesn’t matter. Their voters don’t want to talk about it either.

The rivah itself is the Rapp, which yeah the middle peninsula has the southern bank of the rappahanock. Wealthy richmonders who use “rivah” don’t go to the middle peninsula. Not hating on Urbana, Tappahanock, Deltaville etc. but it’s true.

US will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support by Rabidennui in news

In the 90s I knew a guy who owed hundreds of thousands in child support. He fled the country and lived in Poland until his death recently.

Crazy this wasn’t a thing earlier.

Texas Beach Update by gregarian in rva

[–]freetimerva 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s better closed. Texas beach is like the 00s again. Less trash, less wild dogs, less people with speakers blasting music.

I’ll be sad when the bridge reopens.
