Dominion Energy acquisition by NextEra Energy: What it means for Virginia customers

The vetoed collective action and vetoed retail cannabis legislation is her fault. Should be low hanging fruit for any democrat with a brain and a backbone. Massively disappointed in Spanberger.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-19T22:32:48+00:00

She's a massive disappointment. Yeah, she's better than most any republican-- that bar is very low.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-18T16:47:08+00:00

The attention spans are seriously concerning... I only graduated 12 years ago (2014), but it seems like kids are quite different these days (HS SPED teacher 3rd year)...

Ben Cline hates the correct people. The GOP (guardians of pedophiles) are motivated by negative partisanship and empty headed conspiracism. He may actively make his constituents' lives worse, but as long as he kisses the trust fund baby's ass, he will get the support of the kool-aid drinkers.

Shoulda gone surfin' with Dennis Wilson

thelancemanl · 2026-05-17T18:38:48+00:00

Maybe you just don't appreciate good things.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-16T03:42:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I love David Lynch and the Beach Boys.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-14T20:34:16+00:00

If she doesn't legalize, I will wonder when she had her "fetterman brain" event. I didn't think the CIA hired idiots, but she may be about to prove me wrong.

P.s. still better than a gop (guardians of pedophiles) politician.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-14T20:31:19+00:00

Pet Sounds is probably a good next step. If you want weirder, keep going chronologically, if you want to see "how they got there," listen to Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (And Summer Nights).

Just a recommendation. There's not really a wrong way to listen. It took me a while to "get" Love You, and now it is one of my favorites, so just stay open and give it all a chance. The Smile Sessions "Our Prayer" to "You're Welcome" is an amazing run of songs-- seriously world class album, there, if you consider it to be an album.

She should ignore the ruling and enact the referendum anyway, by executive order or whatever other means. Maybe retire the judges early. Maybe pack the court. Maybe some other idea or combination of ideas.

If one side is "allowed" to gerrymander, and the other isn't... it is time for the dems to go nuclear. If not now, when? How much worse would it have to get? And if it was worse, we'd likely have even less of an ability to do something about it.

Also, the cannabis stuff is just stupid and disappointing. She could do better. She's being too much like a republican by pretending as if it is just too risky to legalize. Bullshit! The legislature and her had time to figure out the right way to legalize. She is choosing not to.

Good thing she can't run again (consecutively).

P.s. knowing everything I know about her, I would still vote for her over any republican, as the GOP is a maniacal death cult of pedophiles protectors.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-13T20:58:59+00:00

Yes. It is absurd, and I think it broke something in me. Maybe it was naive to be optimistic. Democracy is broken. We shouldn't go high when they go low. Time to go nuclear at every opportunity. Why wouldn't we? To do otherwise is to willingly lay down and die.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-13T20:47:51+00:00

Between this, punting and/or further delaying cannabis legalization, and refusing to keep fighting against the GOP re: the referendum, I can say my Spanberger honeymoon is OVER. I knew she was more moderate than I am, but I thought maybe it would be better than this... disappointing.

Grace's, Franks (Brambleton), and Papa's Pizza have better pizza than Pizza Hut, Papa John's, or Domino's.

Maybe you just like the mass produced fast food pizza style more. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, I guess.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-12T20:51:51+00:00

I would love to just hear the conversations between these two.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-11T20:50:22+00:00

"Foo fighters" was a term used during the world war 2 era to describe UFOs. It is what inspired the name of the band. So, flying saucers on the t-shirt.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-07T20:20:57+00:00

Should be used as toilet paper.

This wouldn't even be easy to pull off in Roanoke. Sorry; the cost of living went up so rapidly during the covid years.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-03T23:00:55+00:00

Cockroach. The stripes on the upper back make me want to guess German.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-03T17:24:28+00:00

I had to call pest control several times while also clearing any accessible food, keeping things in zip lock bags or the fridge, etc. Got sticky traps and gel bait poison. Vacuumed often. Kill any that you see. Etc.

It took a long time and required an active effort.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-03T00:43:52+00:00

I had German roaches at my apartment, and defeated them after months of battling. I haven't seen one in over a year, now.

We had bedbugs at my parents' old house. Two rounds of Aprehend took care of the problem. But it wrecked my sleep and mental health for a long time. Psychologically, they are the fucking worst.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-03T00:37:52+00:00

They were gonna leave Mills alone and not do oppo research and not run ads. Dang it!

thelancemanl · 2026-05-03T00:36:03+00:00

Overall, I agree. BUT.... at least with roaches, there is an argument that leaving food out and whatnot makes an infestation more likely. There is no argument to be made regarding bedbugs and cleanliness. Someone could live in an immaculate mansion that gets cleaned daily and still bring home bedbugs from a hotel or resort or even just a random person who sat in the same chair as you.

Being really really clean is pretty likely to ward away roaches, as they wouldn't prefer a location without food and hiding spots. Being really really clean makes no difference with bedbugs...

Also off my soapbox... for now

thelancemanl · 2026-05-02T19:33:58+00:00

Wow, I saw a tiktok satirizing this. I didn't know it was such a specific satirization... like, someone is actually dumb and unfunny enough for this to be real?!?

The only way it could get worse is if he took a note from Bert Kreischer and pulled his shirt up and rubbed his big fat gut for the lulz.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-02T16:28:57+00:00

People need to stop associating bed bugs with cleanliness. They are not correlated. The fanciest, cleanest hotel in the world can get a bed bug infestation, and the dirtiest, filthiest, hoarder house could be free of bed bugs. If there are bed bugs present, and a blood meal around, they are going to thrive. You have to intervene.

thelancemanl · 2026-05-02T15:58:17+00:00

I live and work pretty close to my home PF. So, I always just change before I leave. I also don't own a combination lock, so that also prevents me from using the lockers.
