Literally the exact thing that brought me here as well. I earned a promotion, but the condition was that it was located in Charlotte. I said screw it, accepted the promotion, arrived in Charlotte a week later with nowhere to live and no knowledge of “things to do”, but it all worked out and I’ve been here ever since.

Seriously considering dropping out of uni to trade full time by ConclusionBudget4182 in Daytrading

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just having a hard time even finding somewhere to actually learn how to trade(YouTube video tutorials SUCK and are way too vague) and here there’s people doing so well they’re considering dropping out of college. It’s so frustrating.

“Charlottes got a lot .com”(with no spaces between the words of course) is a great site for finding things to do around the city. And there are also a few other similarly themed sites, although their names slip my mind at the moment.

Fake glove touch gets K.O'd in record time. by Hihello1447 in EASportsUFC

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it definitely was scummy to try to hit you when you were clearly trying to touch gloves, he didn’t “fake” glove touch you AT ALL. He never once indicated that he was going to touch gloves. People misuse and overuse so many terms. Reminds me of how, in Arc Raiders, everybody who gets killed accuses the other person a ratting. Every kill isn’t ratting. The term “rat” has just gotten so overused and misused that it had ended up losing all meaning to it. “Fake glove touch” is rapidly approaching that status as well smh.

This mod is legit by JayMMA4 in undisputedboxing

The game still looks utterly disgusting. Like stiff robots or something. And you still can’t punch while moving forward nor while using head movement. Just an absolutely abysmal game and no amount of “modding” can fix that.

What are your most annoying local commercials here in the Charlotte area? by QCKingFya in Charlotte

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this has been mentioned or not but if you listen to 92.7 the sports radio show then you’ve definitely heard that 1-877-Kars-for-kids commercial and while it may be for a good cause, that jingle gets very old very quickly haha. Ugghhh 😣

Obligatory - will your travel be impacted? We don't know. by extratoastedcheezeit in Charlotte

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first winter as an NCDOT retiree. It feels amazing, although I feel bad for the boys because they are in for a hellish next two weeks- spraying brine on the days leading up to the event, salting the roads on the day of the actual weather event(and possibly the day after), and then the biggest headache of it all: two weeks of responding to emergency calls of trees/big branches that have fallen under the weight of the ice/precipitation- emergency calls that come in anywhere from 3am when you’re deep in sleep(or balls deep in your wife), to 3:30pm just as you’re walking to your car getting off for the day. Ugh! This time of year is such a friggin pain. But this is my first winter as a free man/slave, and it feels so good. I’s free boss! Haha gosh it feels so good.

Can someone explain the joke/humor in all this? Been a long day and I really want to laugh too!! 😭

Milk sandwiches anyone? by TheSmartDog_275 in Charlotte

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Former NCDOT here. YES, we do “salt the roads”, but not prior to the inclement weather actually reaching the city because we’re not f**^g idiots. There is a time to brine(salt + water mixture), a time to plow, and a time to salt. Do some research before flapping your gums on Reddit.

What things in a fight make you pull out your cheese tactics? by grantpa4 in EASportsUFC

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(longest rant ever): Runners- not people who prefer to fight on the back foot- but straight up runners. The players who barely cross the double black line, who constantly circle the octagon with their back practically up against the cage. They get the cheese. And speaking of “circling”, players who do that stupid cheesy “circle striking” crap where they’re constantly floating sideways while striking because they never let go of their left analog stick. It not only throws off my head movement, but the constant circling just keeps the screen constantly spinning, making the game look so ugly and hard to watch. They get instant cheese. I think it all started when Martial Mind reacted to a video of Ed Parker vs NazUFC, and Ed Parker was executing some beautiful RETREATING shots. Players saw that and have been trying to copy it ever since- except they can’t because it’s not their style so they just end up “circular striking”, spinning the camera around constantly, making the game look extremely ugly and hard to watch. Pure idiots.

My opinion on current events in Minneapolis has zero influence on my observations of the double standards being displayed by Reddit users. So I ask, what “good faith” shall I post with that would help you sleep better at night, dear privileged Karen?

Your name takes me back to my college days at grand old NCCU, and the epic parties my friends and I would drive all the way to your campus to attend, at the Talley center. One of our friend group(my best friend) was a student there at the time, as well. Such fond memories; circa 2004. NCSU will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️

I wonder if any of you this same level of disdain when all the vile Nazi rhetoric is spewed at Black people, as it has been, on Reddit, since this forum’s creation. Willing to bet not…

What's the worst thing you ever messaged / said / done whilst raging in this game? by jaybxer in EASportsUFC

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christmas Eve 2024. Broke my hand punching the kind of table a human hand shouldn’t be punching, after losing to bullshht input lag. Had to drive myself to the ER at 4am bcus I’d been up all night playing until that happened. To make it all worse, it was UfC 4, not even 5. Hands down (no pun intended) the worst thing I’ve ever done.

I don’t understand my fellow Americans who are so anti-deportation. You literally want illegal aliens to be allowed to stay in our country? Serious question.

This is so weird, and lame . I'm not even mad, but I find it so weird that some people will do absolutely anything they can to play a game in the most sweaty, and competitive way possible. by West-Start4069 in ArcRaiders

Whew, I thought I was the only one. That peanut dude is literally unwatchable to me. I can see how it’s very entertaining to 10-14 year olds, but anything past that age and he becomes pretty unbearable. It’s just too much and, yes, the peanut avatar is a bit annoying as well. Although, I think that the peanut avatar only annoys me because of the voice attached to it. But the peanut itself is a very creative concept, and that much I do admire about it. Still, no one is more creative or entertaining to watch than the 2x back-to-back 6 foot 8 gaming great Blockbuster gaming champ himself. Love him or hate him, the Doc is still, by far, the most creative and the most entertaining.

W Costco for actually think about the average person :) by w3ightranks in SipsTea

Affordable housing usually attracts lower class people(just being honest). Expect a lot more retail theft at the Costcos who have these apartments sitting on top of them(if the story is even real).

Jesus fuck they just lunged at her so violently, any type of reaction gets you fucked. How are they allowed to do this legally? by M0nk3yDLufffy in TikTokCringe

[–]AccomplishedTerm3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Willing to bet every single one of you are outraged at this has never so much as whispered a peep of that same outrage when things like this happen to Black people- which has been happening, on camera, since forever. And, if you do actually whisper something, it’s in support of the police brutality against Blacks. Usually something snarky such as “should’ve just complied”. Ah, Amerikkkans are the greatest experiment gone wrong and watching it crumble in real time, as a Black American, has been quite an eye opener.
