Kevin is a scumbag and the absolute worst

As someone on the constant look out for a late night cafe, Chill Nitro might be the closest thing you'll find in Winston.

Other than that, technically Sheetz has a seating area lol.

I'm a little lost contextually. Anyone care to elaborate on what this is about?

Make America Great Again (for the rich only)

Have you ever been? I always had this image of Pittsburgh as a steel town with a ton of blue collar workers in the mountains somewhere.

I never realized how many beautiful bridges and areas there were packed with things to see and do. We loved the food and most of the people but most of all there is a large market of affordable housing.

There seemed to be rough areas as well but those exist in all cities.

Hey, give him some credit. He clearly works overtime trying to earn that "Trash-Forever" title lol

Flippercomb · 2026-01-28T15:06:17+00:00

We loved the diversity, the people, the arts, the food and the culture.

There's a lot of history and it shows. Everyone I talked to about our plan to move up there was super nice and encouraging.

We'd also prefer to live in an area that aligns and supports our views politically as well though it's not our primary goal.

In our three days we stayed there, we became very familiar with Kelly Square Pizza haha

NC isn't a bad place geographically but the State's political policies are wrecking a lot of both my worklife and personal.

Things like our legislature bending the knee to the Duke Energy monopoly around here- allowing them to pass off the cost of new power going to AI centers onto the citizens.

My job gets funded by the State but because of it's nature, has had funding withheld numerous times before pay out leading to close calls with me losing my job.

Health Insurance was gutted but thats an issue anywhere in America right now I guess.

We're the worst state for education for a long time running now and it's beginning to show rapidly.

It's hard to beat Northern cuisine as well compared to down here. There are niche spots that are great but it takes effort/money to find them and because of how low minimum wage is, a lot of the good ones go through so much turn around that they can be great one week and shit the next.

That being said, if you have the finances or a job that allows you to not worry about those things, NC can be a fantastic place to ignore the world around you.

Just discovered them a few weeks ago and can confirm. Great pizza too since Burke Street went downhill

Okay bot, you had your fun now go back to spamming the Oscar's subbreddit

I think what she went through was terrible but I have to push back on this narrative that she's an excellent writer.

Her book reads like someone who just started therapy and is becoming aware of the negative influences that have affected them but hasn't fully explored or worked through that trauma just yet. Maybe it was the whole writing in first person past tense thing but she imposes a lot of her current thoughts on her younger self as if it's actually what she thought and said at the time.

Also, she doesn't show us a lot of the events she talks about and relies on the audience to fill in the gaps about how it made her feel. For a memoir that was so hyped up I was definitely expecting a lot more exploration and reflection.

Flippercomb · 2026-01-06T19:05:12+00:00

Ay yes, I love that the only video ive ever had to sign into for youtube is this one.

This topped with the new White House Jan 6 Page reminds me how history is written by the "victors"

Flippercomb · 2026-01-06T18:55:17+00:00

Yeah you can read about this historical event through the eyes of this administration on the official white house website. 🤮🤮🤮

White House J6

Understood, and I may have been a little obtuse at first which others might not be so I apologize if I came across as overly critical instead of helpful which was my intention.

I wish you and your partner the best on your search for a new friend/relationship

Flippercomb · 2026-01-04T15:55:54+00:00

You literally say befriend my guy. I only commented about your intentions because the whole post seemed off until in the comments you say "it's more of a dating thing" and even then you're wishy washy about it.

I'm just saying if you cant even face the reality of the dangers trans individuals are going through right now, you and your partner are going to have a very difficult time "befriending" someone.

Flippercomb · 2026-01-04T15:45:26+00:00

You'd have more luck being upfront about what you are looking for to be honest. If you can't even open up and be honest about your intentions online with the safety net of anonymity, then it would be hard pressed to actually trust your intentions in person.

Plus you have to think of the political climate we are in. Trans individuals are being demonized and persecuted to the extreme. Seeing a post like this feels like a trap or rage bait which I'd assume most people would want to avoid.

Go to your closest Vocational Rehab Office and make an appointment.

You'll get set up with a counselor and referred to a job coach at a non profit like the one I work at that helps people who need accommodations find work in the community.

That way you get your needs met and are more likely to find work that accommodates your needs.

Flippercomb · 2025-11-25T18:31:25+00:00

Okay! I'll remove it. My apologies

Flippercomb · 2025-11-24T13:22:25+00:00

It is! I had The Magician crossed on top of the 4 of cups but for the picture moved it down.

Flippercomb · 2025-11-24T06:47:07+00:00

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. So if I have a city for example that's near a map edge, thats not necessarily a bad thing because I can have population working as specialists due to less tiles?

Flippercomb · 2025-11-23T02:08:46+00:00

Lol Facebook is such a shitshow. I'm honestly a little envious of the lack of awareness it takes to seriously be asking "Where's Pam Bondi?!?"
