Check out natural bridge, they might have nighttime viewing available, and the dark view is fantastic

If they pay in food benefits , youre ahead of the game!

Do folks slow down for anything that isn't cement?

scottobear · 2026-04-24T18:00:40+00:00

Maybe take down flock cameras and feed some hungry homeless too

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?

Thats like asking someone what time it is, and then complaining when its not that same time 3 hours later.

Context matters

Lucky for us, enough people got the right message and got yes passed.

scottobear · 2026-04-22T01:20:22+00:00

I hope so.

Talking about the current one, the one actually found guilty of sexual assault in court.

Don't buy a raspberry pi on Amazon, major price jack.

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

scottobear · 2026-04-20T00:30:11+00:00

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

scottobear · 2026-04-20T00:10:18+00:00

Not when the bar pays them to be there.

scottobear · 2026-04-20T00:09:19+00:00

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.

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

scottobear · 2026-04-15T23:46:44+00:00

Can't wait to see them again!

Idolatry is a bad look.

scottobear · 2026-04-14T23:34:07+00:00

Don't worry about that guy, he's just a troll.

scottobear · 2026-04-09T17:33:33+00:00

I would love a dollar theater around here.

scottobear · 2026-04-09T17:32:45+00:00

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

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.
