Hey! It’s me! The CIA!

… Always has been.

No, but thank you though.

Yeah, sorta.

• 311 is a shit show. You have to pretty much get involved with your local government officials to get literally anything done, otherwise you can just live with your pothole.
• City officials have had a hard on for a minor league baseball stadium for fucking YEARS. They asked Richmond citizens for their vote on it, and every single time people said fuck no. It’s $110 million that could have been used to repair crumbling infrastructure, provide support programs, add additional affordable housing, repair our busted streets…noooo, why do that when we can go to a fucking minor league baseball game. Good idea Stoney. It’s getting built by 2026. That’ll for sure bring in money Stoney. Wonder what sort of kick back he’s getting as he’s only been pushing it for like 5 years.
• City officials also hard a hard on for a casino to bring in additional “needed money” that they planned to throw in absolutely terrible locations. No one wanted it. I think we had to vote it down like half a dozen times. Petersburg, a crumbling ruin struggling town is now voting to add it. Just what it needs.
• Look up the history of Jackson Ward.
• Shcokoe Bottome still has buildings were destroyed in the flood back 30 years ago that have yet to be revitalized (but a fucking stadium is fine, right?)

Thats just off the top of my head. Love it here though. Just…lots of annoyances.

Just realized the lemmy.ml is entirely leftist. ML apparent stands for Marxist-Lenonist.

Time to block a second entire instance. fml.

I get what you’re saying, it’s capitalism vs socialism, not Democracy vs socialism, however my issue is that they don’t even like our Democracy. I got banned for even supporting it.

They were slamming how terrible our liberal politicians were, so I made a few comments about it and I got banned for defending them. It’s frustrating…but whatever…

Leftist admins when you say anything remotely supportive of Democracy instead of circlejerking the leftist next to you.

Yes, please ignore the giant 15 lb bird in the room. Sure. Just act like it’s not there. Of course I don’t have 20 questions about the bird…

Boredom breeds innovation. It’s okay to be bored. In fact, I really wish our society would get “legitimately” bored more often.

From the article, it sounds like he knew they were a minor and still leaned into the conversations. Why? Why TF would you even be curious about it?

Is there going to be a seminar on how to convert children to a life of Hedonism simply by proximity to your sheer existence?

Welcome to the US…I love you…

What? You don’t want zoodles of mayonnaise added to your tuna brine?

Okay. I hate any music that references all of the following pandering terms: trucks, boots, whiskey, blue jeans, dirt, drinkin’, beer, and. “back roads”.

If you removed the lyrics from almost every modern US “Country” song, they wouldn’t be so bad, by holy shit…it’s like you can’t have a country song without whiskey and blue jeans sung in an overdone Kentucky or Mid-Western accent. It’s essentially fan service for country boys and girls. Half of those singers haven’t touched so much as a rake in their entire lives and for some reason people make this genre their entire fucking identity.

Real men don’t wipe. Real men leave that brown shit of superiority staining their ass and underwear. It’s a display of dominance. Show that washing machine whose boss. Let your wife and girlfriend see the proud steak of freedom, a signature of your manliness written upon the very fabric of the garments you wear closest to your body.

Watch men of weaker constitution and lower stature run away from you, and give you the space and respectful deference that you deserve. You are a king, and kings don’t worry about such literal shit.

Let it eventually mark your truck seat as warning to weaker men what sort of beast occupies that vehicle and you will never again have to worry about criminal scum trying to take your vehicle for fear of your retribution, for they bore witness to the throne upon which a real man resides.

Hey! Would you be willing to sell some of them? Looking at setting up a server at home that some of my friends and neighbors can use. I was going to buy them brand new, but I’d be fine with used if your interested in getting rid of some of them.

Depicted: Incel “Alpha” Males hoping to one day have a submissive wife sex slave, that cooks, maintains the house for them, and raises children, so that they can continue being children themselves. Women are just lining up for this lifestyle, aren’t they?

Honestly, I hope this all gets pushed through. My salary adjustment would be glorious. Otherwise, I’m quitting my job and watering flowers at Lowe’s. No need for all the stress when I’m barely making above minimum wage at that point.

It’s banned in cosmetics and declared by the FDA to be carcinogenic. I’d rather not take my chances with anything containing it.

Good to hear these peeps don’t have it. I think the pink ones still do though.

They still contain Red Dye 3. At least until Easter is over. So…heads up. I’d stay away until then.

Shit is is super carcinogenic.
