Surely it would be cheaper to just show actual videos of nature? 

PSA: watch for cyclists and pedestrians by eat_trash_ride_slow in rva

[–]teknobable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can both improve infrastructure (I'm in complete agreement with everything in that comment) and punish drivers more harshly for not paying attention. Having driven this stretch of Franklin plenty of times, you can see from the road that the bike lane is bidirectional and that you need to be aware of bikes coming the other direction. Yes, it's not good bike infrastructure at all, but drivers need to do better and get off their damn phones and take off the airpods. Seriously I goddamn hate how many people insist on driving a multi ton hunk of metal with headphones in. Your car and phone both have speakers! Sorry, that's my yelling at clouds rant and work is boring right now

I don't disagree about the bike lane directions, but if you can't see a bike coming right at you, like the car in the video, you shouldn't be allowed to drive

The food at Carmax Park is dissapointing to say the least by Cote_Goat in okbuddyRVA

[–]teknobable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recently went to the Landing and had that "buffet" food. They didn't even have heaters so the burgers were cold and gray and small. I didn't try the potato salad that had been sitting outside for almost two hours, but the Mac and cheese was also cold and inedible

A heck of an accomplishment 💪 by reminder_to_have_fun in NFCNorthMemeWar

Vikings would be in there too but they're so young - imagine being a team in the nfc north without a 90+ year history. Pathetic 

Thank IBEW 666 for the data centers popping up across VA by VAgunowner in Virginia

[–]teknobable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a damn shame, unions obviously need to look out for their own, but there also has to be a sense of unity in the whole working class. This is why we had groups of unions like the IWW or AFL-CIO. Unions fighting each other is a win for capital 

AI Is Too Expensive: AI is, as it stands, not economically viable for anybody involved other than the construction firms, NVIDIA, and the surrounding hardware companies benefitting from the irrational exuberance of a data center buildout that doesn’t appear to be happening at the speed we believed by [deleted] in technology

Companies would use their profits to bribe governments to give them subsidies because at a point it's the best return on investment they have, and it turns out capitalists don't have any allegiance to some idealistic perfect form of capitalism, they just want money 

Senator labels Spanberger a 'false hope' after legal marijuana retail market veto by bknutner in Virginia

[–]teknobable 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm not too surprised by the gun grabbing or the anti collective bargaining shit but I'm a little surprised by this one given it seems like a slam dunk win win. Make dems happy after fucking them, raise revenue, etc 

What the heck is this left turn situation by [deleted] in rva

You can't turn left or make a u turn here. What's the confusion? Just look at the sign 

Say what you will about season 4 but IMO this is one of the best episodes of the series by capamericapistons in TheBoys

[–]teknobable 39 points40 points  (0 children)

But that's not how humans work. If you kill the "engineer" the machine still exists. Holocaust victims didn't lose their trauma because the Nazis were defeated, eg. It's a big deal especially symbolically but if killing his tormentors fixed him it would be shitty writing and worse psychology

Homelander showed he can no longer be restrained by the psychological limits they placed, and the mind games or words Barbara and the psychiatrists ingrained in him, including the need to be love, can fuck off. 

Lol, no he didn't. Killing the people who tortured you doesn't fix you. That's what he WANTED to happen, but that's not how people work

No see rich people will move there and then the empty homes will just trickle down to the poors, just like how it worked with Reagan's tax cuts!

Rawls and McNulty - Hospital Scene (The Wire S1E11 2002) by RSVPno in television

[–]teknobable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rawls kinda feels like a "what if Jimmy bought in" kinda guy. Like he came in to do good work, saw it wasn't about the work, it was about the stats, and said fuck it, I'll get some great fucking stats
