shrug Idk. Def a little quieter without drinking, but that’s good too. Yet I wonder if I’m putting no effort into going out because I’m not drinking…or if going out to bars/trying to link up with people has real purpose

Reply to To who almost ran me over and all the drivers who can’t slow down. Please relax everything will be just fine smh by Skatejay

I’m so sorry that happened to you and I’m glad you’re ok. It’s infuriating to say the least. Nothing is going to change unless traffic laws are heavily enforced, and people face heavy consequences for dangerous/irresponsible driving.

Too many people seem to not understand that driving a death machine is a huge privilege/responsibility.

But then there’s the fact that cops aren’t interested in bettering our world in any way so it feels pretty fucked. Sorry to be so pessimistic, but I feel overwhelmed by the state of the world lately.

the Bible does not address abortion. my best friend has a Mdiv from a very well known university and I trust her over Wikipedia which is open sourced. She has no dog in this fight.

Furthermore, in Judaism which predates Christianity (Jesus's dad ya know) a baby is not a human being until it takes its first breath outside the womb. that means it is religiously legal to kill a baby at any point in a pregnancy. Any. Morally is another story but we are discussing religion and the Bible.

The Bible was written as a sort of guide for people during a time that they were not living close enough to communicate easily between rare social visits. If you had a problem you could find a parable that spoke to your situation. the Bible is not literal. It is a work of fiction.

In the end all religions espouse the same things: be kind. look out for one another. treat people as you wish to be treated. take care of the poor, the weak, children, the elderly. this should be common sense, and no one should need a book to tell you these things. instead the Bible is weaponized to serve the state. Christianity has a bloody trail of terrorism behind it - look at a time line - was originally used to seize power and has never stopped. The latest is controlling half the population's ability to control their own body - women.

Abortion is a human rights issue wearing the sheep skin of christianity.

The true Christians I know don't judge anyone, they help people take care of themselves and they don't give two shits about abortion.

This is the Richmond subreddit not the abortion one so I'm going to stop now.

Reply to So is is just me or is Gersi basically the worst Italian restaurant in Richmond? by Swrdmn

Biggest waste of money ever. Went once and that was enough for me. I lived in SF and I was super excited about the atmosphere as the packed restaurant and noise level reminded me of my favorite places in SF, but the food was overpriced crap. Small portions, slow, and sloppy service. No thanks.

ETA: I usually give a place a second try in case they were having an off night, but I wasn’t getting that kind of vibe from them.
