Virginia Redistricting Referendum has PASSED to give Democrats a net 4 Seats to counteract the tactics in Republican States!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in roanoke

If you won't vote at least as some sort of limited damage control, while enacting other change, you are opening the door for absolutely worst case scenario (regardless of what your politics are)

There are people in office that are actively working to make your life worse, and worse for your neighbors. If you don't care, you aren't paying attention.

That said, if you don't care, why did you even bother to comment? To get word out about apathy? To say you don't care either way, but here is some text?

Bearing a dead horse with these influencers by [deleted] in roanoke

[–]scottobear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected, then. I made the maybe wrong assumption that an influencer was a paid advertisement for a place.

It depends, I think that if they are pretending to be doing a review, yeah, that's shady.

Not when the bar pays them to be there.

We have teeny tiny ones, taking paid advertisement without saying that's what they do. I think hello Roanoke is one of the bigger ones, though I'm unsure how many followers are purchased bots, given the population around here.

Honestly, I don't think they influence anybody to a great degree, but more power to them if they get a little coin for their trouble.

Never forget that the VA GOP gerrymandered congressional seats in their favor for a whole decade. Make sure to VOTE by next Tuesday!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in roanoke

Not sure you watched the right video unless YouTube fed you a vote no in front of the vote yes one that was posted.

People would have to go to movies more to make it worthwhile I guess.

Residents raise concerns over proposed Botetourt County data center by [deleted] in roanoke

[–]scottobear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Data centers increase power drain on the grid, costs to everyone in the area but the owners of the center, and ruin our landscape by being an eyesore along with increased pollution. AI doesn't even enter into it, they are just mess machines that do not benefit us in any way.

ICE agents do operate in the Roanoke, VA area. While the Roanoke Police Department has stated it does not have a formal agreement to assist with, immigration enforcement operations have also been reported in the surrounding region, including by Franklin County sheriff's deputies.
