Welcome to r/RVA where we get angry at people with legit questions about moving here for “spamming” the sub, but we upvote any low-quality shitpost with opossums, chicken wings on the street, or the 7291st photo of a cat that lives in Lowe’s.

We hope you enjoy your stay and consider us for your next home :)

I will agree that the Lowes cat posts are kinda wearing thin. I am sorry I missed chicken wing posts cuz I'm kinda fat and love chicken wings. Haven't seen any opossums on here either, but I am not on here regularly.

I can't really complain about the quality of the posts since I have not originated any on this sub. I am but a lurker.

That sounds like a quote from a poem, maybe?

I wish I could remember quotes and use them. I've always thought that was a cool trick.

it used to be something studied back in the day, I remember my dad had a book of them for speeches and what not. I only remember the classics

I just have never been able to remember quotes or jokes verbatim. I can remember random history facts and other useless info though.

I'm not sure verbatim matters - I screwed with that one on purpose, but you can always just go ahead and make that claim. Doubt anyone would care either way of course

Hahaha the icon of the sub is literally a possum mural though!

Don't forget that we also complain about the low-quality shitposts without actually answering the "legit questions". Good contribution!

Whatever makes you feel better about the hypocrisy, I suppose. I don’t see why someone with legitimate curiosity and questions about our city (even if they are common) is “spam” but all the aforementioned memes that have been run into the ground and don’t spark any real conversation or debate is totally OK.

For the record, I’ve been out of the dating pool/bar scene for a while now, so I didn’t feel knowledgeable enough to answer OP’s questions. Just trying to make people feel welcome when a bunch of posters are being snarky for no good reason 🤷‍♂️

Ain't no hypocrisy here! I didn't mark any of the posts as spam. You're barking up the wrong tree.
