"They"

You have no karma in RVA. It goes to the spam filter. We try to catch them, but again... If you want to message the moderators there is an easy way to do so.

Someone is supposed to come look at my car this morning and take her off my hands. It's going to be bittersweet if they end up buying her.

I have an 8 year old account i used to post a lost dog that they deleted so ifdk

No idea who that is, but I'm chef jamee and I got your covered! What you need?

Edit: whoa, just saw the other posts about him. I would like to clarify that I do not, in fact, have you covered. Wow, some people are monsters

My fiancé is home from a friends trip and now we get to snuggle in bed and watch stuff on the glowing box

If you'd like to speak with the mods you can message us via modmail. In this case, the users posts were in the spam filter because they created a new account to post.

Omg it’s so beautiful right now. My entire downstairs is bathed in peaches and cream sunlight.

My new home. I’m so grateful to be here. Prior to this, I lived in a house for 20 years that was making everyone in my family unhealthy - physically and mentally. It’s been amazing to see the changes in everyone individually and as a family since we moved.

Just a random thought, anyone know what’s up with Chef Johnny? Haven’t seen him post around here for a while

I'll regularly see guys in there going hard at 6am

It is sad.

My parents are upper middle class Boomers. Retired professionals with advanced degrees and everything. And also deeply religious. I believe both are addicted to gambling. Their favorite semi-monthly treat is to dump tons of money into a casino. They rotate through three or four different ones.

Sometimes I will be talking to my mother on the phone and in the background I will hear beeping noises. I know that means one of two things. The two of them are at a casino playing slots. Or she is at the gas station up the road from their suburban subdivision full of McMansions, playing the machine there. I have learned to keep mouth shut and not ask where she is. I tell myself that we all have our vices so who am I to judge.

So...it isn't just poor and working-class people wasting money on these things. It also (supposedly) well-to-do people. If my parents weren't addicts, they wouldn't have to borrow money from their kids. To be fair, they are awesome in that they always pay us back when their pension checks come in. But it is still sad to me.

Ah, but it's not gambling. Gambling is essentially glorified coin tossing, where pure luck determines the outcome. These are "skill games", totally different. It's ok to fleece poor people of their money when you call it a skill-game.

There's an old gas station up here by my that has been half-hollowed out with a dozen of these things sitting along the empty walls, where people just sit and feed their money into it. Who are we helping by allowing these things? Shitty gas stations? Shady "skill game" machine companies? Sure, the additional tax revenue is nice, but that revenue comes from the poorest segment of society.

This is an example of where a dogmatic adherence to principle, in this case free market capitalism, leads to a net negative for society.

“Let’s go gambling at a gas station.”

It just feels sad to say out loud.

Just here to say that I matched with the guy who crashed his drone onto the White House lawn like 8-10 years ago and his stories are just as insane as you’d expect. Thank you Tinder…I know I gave up on you like 6 years ago but here we are again.

I just finished. It's a god-damned travesty—a seven-page paper in which I had to rush the point because I was running out of time, but it's done . . .

I hope I get at least a 72%—that's all I need for an 'A'.

Christ attacking convenience stores is actually more moronic than I'd usually give the council credit for.

Gambling machines are a fucking scourge. It's crazy coming from the uk/ireland where they're trying (and succeeding slowly) to outlaw them and seeing Virginia just go all in and see them popping up everywhere.

I used to work in a bar and would watch guys put their entire weekly wage into these things every Friday.

I can see a good argument for removing the gaming machines in some. And trying to remove other things that lead to loitering about, but not sure the real impact on violent crime

It's complete ass. I guess the Dance Studio is the closest place if you're in Church Hill (by a hair).

Democrats suddenly not all about polling places and all that stuff they claim to be for.

I think the disorder and disarray was intentional.
