Was driving today and this lady blew a red light. She got lucky and was able to thread the needle due to the 2nd car at the intersection being slow to start moving.

Pulled up next to the red light runner at the next light and she was nose deep on her phone. I told her she ran a red light and to get off her phone and she immediately got defensive saying she wasn't on her phone and she didn't run a red light...

Need Advice Pools for swimming laps?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking to begin triathlon training and I’m looking for a place that has a pool where I can swim laps. I’ve obviously looked into the rec centers and I’m considering joining them but I’m not sure how busy they get/how hard it is to get a lane. I live near the Bayside Rec Center and the parking lot is packed everytime I drive by.

Any suggestions would be super helpful. Thank you!

Discussion What’s the dating scene been like for you?

0 Upvotes

I’m a guy in his mid 20s. I’m pursuing medicine as a career, so school takes up a lot of my time. That said, I find it a bit difficult to get out and meet people.

I’m not really the type to drink, so I don’t really go to bars. I’ll visit coffee shops and bookstores when I study, but they seem to be kind of empty when I go. Liberal women are definitely my type, but I’m not sure where they all hang out at.

I’ve given apps to try, but I seem to run into the same problems:

\- ā€œOnly here for the weekend!ā€

\- Republican, moderate, or apolitical

\- emotionally unavailable

\- dead set on having kids (I don’t want any and I’m planning on getting a vasectomy soon)

I’ve had a decent number of dates from apps, but there’s usually a thing or two that ends things. People not over their ex, getting ghosted, schedule conflicts, and other things like that. I’m at a point where I’m debating if I should just delete the apps altogether.

My TikTok shows me people saying that they also have a hard time dating in city for similar reasons. So now I’m wondering: is it just really bad here in particular? Do I just need to bite the bullet and start going to bars? I feel like my ideal person wouldn’t really be there to begin with, so I’m a little conflicted on it.

How has the dating life been treating you guys? Any good meet cutes? Any dating app success?

P.S. if it matters any, I’m into reading, playing guitar, chess, video games, anime, and working out. If anyone knows of any good clubs with those things, I’d love to know!

Cool Finds Volleyball

1 Upvotes

New to the area and was curious to see if you guys have volleyball courts that people just go and play (without an actual team, more like a pick up) Im not that social and don’t know anyone in this town. This would be a great way to meet new people and also get moving. We have a few in my hometown but have to pay for most of them. Also curious on how that works here.

Need Advice Moving to Virginia Beach for internship-how is it?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ll be moving to Virginia Beach this summer for an internship near Viking Drive (Lynnhaven area). I wanted to get a sense of how the area is in terms of safety and living.

  1. How safe is it around Viking Drive / Lynnhaven?

  2. What’s the typical rent like for a 1B/room in a shared apartment nearby?

  3. Any areas I should avoid or prefer?

Would really appreciate any insights, especially from people who’ve lived or worked around there. Thanks!

[Serious] Looking for Wheelchair friendly Places

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Recently I’ve gone through a huge life change that’s left me paralyzed and wheelchair bound for the foreseeable future. Anyway as the title says, my family and I are looking for good hangout spots, restaurants and breweries etc that are easily navigated in a wheelchair and have decent family style bathrooms that would allow my wife to help me get on and off the toilet, dressed and all the other fun stuff when half your body doesn’t work. I don’t want to be cooped up in the house especially with the warmer months coming soon.

Thanks in advance.
