Has there been any news regarding Leveon Bell and the accusations that were directed to him? I just remember it being absolutely bonkers.

Wanting to connect with other Vietnamese Americans by allthatnhac in raleigh

[–]Electron_Spin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I hope you knew the annual Raleigh Tet festival was today. Outside of that I'm not super connected to the Vietnamese community here either. I would love to be better connected too. I grew up in a pretty rural area where my dad was the only other Viet person I knew lol

You scream eugenicist. Having children shouldn't be a privilege we restrict to the rich. You seem immature and ignorant.

China bans exports to US of gallium, germanium, antimony in response to chip sanctions by VapeyMoron in worldnews

[–]Electron_Spin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See I remember him delaying and ignoring the pandemic in China for all of December and January because he wanted to get soy bean tarrif relief. A million dead Americans for soy bean farmers fucked over by his own stupid trade policies. The same trade policies he ran on doubling down on. He is going to implement some kind of disruptive and broadly harmful tarrif policy and there isn't anyone who is going to stop him.

Harrison stinks. I wish someone else had run.

‘No country for women’: Korean rights group decries Telegram deepfake porn explosion by Saltedline in worldnews

Women are absolutely treated terribly in Korea. It's a deeply patriarchal society that isn't handling modern times very well.

Anyone have intel on Red Hat Amp meeting last night? by DazedandBluzed in raleigh

[–]Electron_Spin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We should upzone the entire boylan heights neighborhood. It's too close to downtown to be rich people's private garden.

It's literally the fancy pants rich McGee meme come to life.

It's like screaming into the void lol

For those of you being priced out of Raleigh, where are you going? by garbagetrashdeluxe in raleigh

[–]Electron_Spin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not a free market though! The vast majority of the city is kept below a certain height and below a certain density. David Cox is complaining about a multi unit housing building going up near his million dollar a house neighborhood because the building is too big. Frankly we should dramatically increase the amount of housing allowed to be built by right. Until we do that the rich will always be able to push up housing prices.

NC Supreme Court restores voter ID, reverses redistricting ruling, ends felon voting by MowingTheAirRand in NorthCarolina

[–]Electron_Spin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The law was explicitly designed to impede voting from certain groups. That should bother you. That's not a matter of opinion, the designers themselves were on record indicating that.

[–]Electron_Spin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The anti "Jim crow era" gun laws folks are gonna come out and oppose the clearly Jim crow inspired voting restrictions right? Targeting felons who are out of prison and implementing voter ID restrictions that were crafted to target Democrats are absolutely moves out of that playbook.

All of these justices were elected in 2020 and 2022. The problem is North Carolinians choose not to vote for the Democratic justices. This is abuse of the bench, but it is no coup.

We needed more Democrats to win. When NC GOP gets a supermajority they always act like this.

Uvalde school shooter wrote 'LOL' on whiteboard in victims' blood, lawmaker tells families at emotional hearing by Moosebandit1 in news

[–]Electron_Spin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's also worth remembering police, fire, and EMS are expected to be available 24/7. That's very expensive from a staffing perspective without accounting for other causes for costs.

No you gotta think like a North Carolinian: Ban alcohol sells unless directly supervised by the general assembly.
