  • Aaaaaaaaaaaand that’s exactly why the opening scene of Juon: Black Ghost/White Ghost made me scream like a child. The dread that rises up when something doesn’t feel right. There’s no build up to a scare…it just slams into you full force. Only movie I ever screamed while watching. Only happened once…but good God. We had to pause the movie and laugh for about 10 minutes as both me and my sibling both screamed.










  • 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.

    Plan something 5-days in advance to do something.

    Reach out 1-day ahead and ask if they are still up for doing it. It provides them with an out, and opens up your day tomorrow in the off chance that they have to cancel.

    On the day of the planned activity, let them know you’ll be heading out shortly to meet them at x place at y time.

    For extra soft plans (i.e. do you want to get together and study later this evening?), still text before hand about an hour or so as it gives them a quick reminder, and allows you to alter plans.

    Communication works both ways, and sometimes people need reminders. If they don’t respond, just let them know you didn’t hear from them and you’re going to do something else. Don’t freak out about it. People waffle on things all the time.




  • 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…
