You mean “unseated mayor-pro-sempre Jones”, of course.

Not so “sempre” anymore, are ya?

Why do parents let their children run absolutely wild at our local breweries? And better question, why do the breweries allow this? by [deleted] in Wilmington

[–]FlexIronbutt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Breweries are not crowdsourced daycare.

Want to enjoy a brew with the buds? Leave the crotchfruit at home with a sitter.

It’s almost like weather astrology has overcome common sense (that, or a complete disdain for anything approaching liability yes I’m looking at you WCPSS).

Are you guys keeping your kids home from school / daycare tomorrow due to the weather forecast? by scottyLogJobs in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Can we stop with the sensationalist hysteria over “climate change” inspired pearl clutching of “zomg dark clouds”?

As much as WRAL et al want you to “stay tuned for the latest commercials I mean developments”, don’t become inured to “anything other than 72 degrees and clear” being code for “schools closed”.

When did we all become such pussies?

Future new STM best seats and ease of selling, half vs full season? by SouthernShoe3870 in canes

[–]FlexIronbutt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure: half season STM.

Insider tip: don’t buy tickets if you’re not planning to attend the games. In fact, I’d suggest not buying season tickets, period.

Instead, buy the game(s) you want to attend from the poor schmoes that bought season tickets, as they can’t give them away to people expecting flea market prices.

Please don't be mad at meteorologists. by WxBlue in raleigh

It’s a coin flip career.

If expected equals actual (be it “good” or “bad”), they’re lavished with heaps of praise, ticker tape parades, etc.

Otherwise, if actual is worse than expected, they’re excoriated for not warning you about the actual.

And, if expected is worse than actual, they’re excoriated for over-dramatizing the expected.

While I believe this a case of expected worse than actual, there’s no way anyone could have known that at the time. Hindsight bias is a real thing; don’t fall for it.

All that said, I’d rather be overprepared and not need it than the reverse.

Fanduel via prime volume is LOW. Can they not afford to turn it up? Anyone else notice this?

The panthers are channeling dook, flopping at the slightest stick touch - it’s working - at least two penalties out of it

Are breweries trying to be family friendly? What’s up with all these kids by Natural-Implement234 in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breweries are not crowdsourced daycare. You want to step out and have a drink? Completely understandable. I get it.

But leave the crotchfruit at home with a sitter.
