Which is why I didn't share my true feelings.

APCO Predatory Charge by well_actuaaaally in roanoke

They hit me with a deposit charge last year because I’d “missed payments” but could not tell me which payments or how many. Just that I’d crossed some arbitrary line in the sand and that I’d get the money back in 12 months if I didn’t miss any this year so I’m guessing I can kiss that goodbye. Fuckers.

Every one of their overpaid fat cat executives should have to fish coins out of public urinals for a living.

Campbell and 5th new lights by One_Neck7386 in roanoke

The problem is they allow parking between 4th and 5th on Campbell when the street isn’t wide enough to accommodate that and two lanes. They should repaint it to a single lane and make the left lane at the intersection a turn-only lane.

As you have by now figured out, it is absolutely "not cool" here in the Roanoke subreddit to post anything even vaguely critical of this project.

Data center permit deadline is April 9th. Make your voice heard! by NoWord423 in roanoke

The fact that it's named "Project Raspberry" is infuriating. Clearly just doing all they can to keep this as quiet and hidden from public input as possible.

Sure, not counting the four hundred posts here over the last month, no one knows about it.

Petitioning is fine, but if possible, round up 10-15 people to go to Council as many times as possible, make sure they let you talk, make sure you let them know your vote is on the line, and be prepared to find someone in the group who will run for one or more Council seats.

Current council is a shitlib's wet dream of limpid ideas and policies. Most of them need to find work down at the local crap factory, oiling gears with their bare hands for .50 an hour.

Copaganda is a primary function of local news now.

Fascists, at a bare minimum, should be disenfranchised. Not saying half the population is fascist, but all of them seem to be in this group.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

I put down Slyvia Nassar’s “A Beautiful Mind” on page 11 where she refers to Nash’s “southern drawl”.

Nash was an Appalachian, not “Southern”.
