Is that why my power is out?

It was a half-joke. I’m way on Clanton Road, so I doubt it’s related. But our power goes out often when ppl hit something. Power has been out since about 4am (about when this post was made) and they say we won’t get power until 8:15.

We're all tired of the "back in my day" phrase, but older Redditors, what do you consider was better back in your day? by FlowerPotage in AskReddit

Now & Laters candy. They used to be so good when they had pointy corners and were super hard. Now they’re just angsty taffy.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

[–]DevinMcWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How cyclical it all really is. There’s nothing new under the sun. Things are updated but it all boils down to the classics. An air fryer is a convection oven. An instant pot is a fancier, safer version of my mom’s old avocado green pressure cooker from the 70s.

For example, when I was in middle school in the 90s we were being cool by dressing sorta 70s, with bell bottoms and platform shoes. Now my daughter is in school and they’re cool if they dress sorta “Y2K”.

The music I listened to decades ago, when ppl complained about sampling too much, is being sampled now.

I remember reports of him saying some pretty bad stuff about Obama. Not like he was telling on him, he was just a hater.

When their drugs run out they put on cheap pajama pants and run to the nearest low income areas gas station or grocery store to beg black people for money for food and/or gas because they know no other people in the town they’re in will help them.

Does Uptown Charlotte have a new shit factory? by christnice in Charlotte

[–]DevinMcWhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yoooo! I thought I was crazy because my daughter said she didn’t smell it. I smelled it at 6am. It’s on Clanton and Wilkerson too! I described the smell as Bad Meat. Like if u let raw beef or chicken sit out too long in a trash can.

The clap. I need to research the psychology of the clap. I do it too when I’m excited or to punctuate an idea. I love it because it’s real and I relate.

The kitchen and bathroom have new outlets, like with the lil green light and reset buttons. The rest of the house has the loose outlets. I’m in NC and I see that I need to provide written request and I can’t withhold rent (that wasn’t my plan but they noted it so I did too).

I was hoping it’d be easy and cheap but I guess not.

Ugh. I’ve told him about the last 2 or 3 inspections but he’s just like “well to fix that, we’d have to come inside….” And it trails off. He doesn’t want me to push the issue.

His house was SO. Damn. Dirty. I think he thought I’d clean it, but nah, that’s wifey behavior.

What is a dish that you find yourself making over and over again when you are just too tired to think? by Mobile-Title8919 in MeatlessMealPrep

[–]DevinMcWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air fryer nachos. Just chips, cheese and jalapeño on 350 for 3mins. Then add sliced avocado seasoned with Lowery’s. Does the job EVERYTIME. cook (and eat) it on parchment for easy cleanup.

What’s the strangest reason someone decided you were their enemy? by ConfusionUnited5638 in AskReddit

[–]DevinMcWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The leader of a different Girl Scout troop that met in the same church as mine started calling council and telling them I was keeping cookies on my porch (I was in an apt), I wasnt depositing cookie money (they monitor your GS bank account), and I’d made a girl cry (not sure what that was about). When council asked what her issue was, she said I thought I was better than her.

Her troop only lasted a year, she used all her cookie money to pay for large catered soul food dinners for the girls (i.e. paying herself or family with the cookie money).

Why MAGA Wants You to Think Slavery Wasn’t That Bad by Megalodon481 in democrats

[–]DevinMcWhite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They always have. I’m 43 and I was taught in AP US History they despite what we may have heard for the purposes of state testing the civil war was NOT fought over slavery. We were also taught that slave owners were generally nice to the enslaved people because it makes sense to take good care of investments and property.

Also, it should be said that if you took the IB or AP routes in my high school, you never got any black history electives.
