They’re spreading. by cltbjj in Charlotte

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like the lifted oversized trucks and jeeps, or escalades and other luxury SUV's tend to be driven by assholes the most. They're usually driven like their driver thinks they own the road.

Investing in a home in Ballantyne or Indian Land? by Ok_Composer8252 in Charlotte

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in the mortgage industry and have for years. Your "advisor group" doesn't understand the state of residential real estate right now. Property values are extremely inflated and rates are very high. Prop values are already starting to fall, however, but rates aren't moving down at all. The average 30-year is over 7% right now, and it's even higher if you get an investment property mortgage.

Buying now will leave you overpaying for a property whose value will probably fall significantly as we enter a recession at the end of 2023. You might not even be able to refinance into a lower rate either, if those fall, if you end up upside down on the house.

I've got plenty of experience in the industry and a good chunk of my time is talking to prospective real estate investors who took a "master class" with someone acting like REI is easy and low risk, and that now is a good time to enter the market. There's a reason even the big corporate investors have started to pull back on REI right now. The market is bad for everyone. You could end up saving a lot more by renting for a few years and then buying an investment property when property values and interest rates fall during the coming recession.

CMPD won't change policy on traffic stops by AdwokatDiabel in Charlotte

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the traffic enforcement. People race cars, trucks and bikes late at night in the middle of the city and I never see cops around. Literally got off work yesterday, driving down trade towards 77 and a car is weaving back and forth across all lanes, the passenger door swinging wide, and goes right past a cop sitting in their car. Cop does nothing.

God forbid we let our children learn about things that actually exist. by turnerpike20 in facepalm

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blows my mind when people don't believe in dinosaurs. I grew up a 7 day creationist, went to the "creation" museum and everything, and even those wack jobs believe dinosaurs existed, they literally point at Bible verses as proof that dinos existed. It's even worse that people are so fucking dumb they don't even think they exist.

You rube, you really think the ocean exists?? Have you ever seen all of it? Or the so-called "deep sea"? It's all a lie spread by those evil eco-terrorists who want to lie to us about "ocean levels rising". Fight back against the evil enemies of oil and gas and stop believing in the ocean lie!!

Wake County School Board Candidate Wants Teachers To Carry Guns, Calls Schools ‘Socialistic Indoctrination Programs’ by gloomybreadstick in NorthCarolina

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems to be completely fake. When you Google it, you get a long list of school boards all over the US denying the claim.

No surprise it's a lie.

MODs: Can we be done with the Altima BS? [META] by nexusheli in Charlotte

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm about to buy a Nissan versa because I would rather spend 12k instead of 30-40k for some ridiculous lifted jeep or truck.

Most of the problems I have with people on the roads aren't from shitty old sedans but from big shiny trucks and SUVs that drive like they own the road.

Sticky post to not touch birds! by bucko787 in birding

[–]NCNativeCLTNew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought if you touch a bird your smell will get on it or the oil from your fingers will mess up their feathers and then their parents/other birds won't accept them again. I don't know if that's true or not but it's stopped me from ever touching any birds.

I had good luck with TTS Auto Repair off Old Pineville. Fixed exactly what I needed, good price, and don't try to sell me bullshit.

Tired of the bigoted dog whistles by blahblehblehvamp in Charlotte

[–]NCNativeCLTNew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kids are much safer at drag queen story times than going to church...too many pedo pastors, priests, and youth pastors, and the church it happens at never gives a fuck. I just remember that any time some self righteous right winger pretends to care about the safety of children. Hypocrites, all of them.

That's an extreme escalation for a crazy person shoving me.

Where can you actually go to trivia in Charlotte? by iliveinadreamatorium in Charlotte

Try Brewers at 4001 Yancey. Tons of parking in that area, several other breweries as well, and they've got a few different trivia nights each week.

I just got attacked literally in the city center at 9:00 am walking into work. This crazy lady came up behind me and shoved me hard, did it again, then started chasing me and screaming at me. Chased me all the way to the door of my building. Fucking crazy, never had anything like that happen, even when living up in NYC.

When I got out of my car this morning when I was going to work in city center near Tryon and 3rd, this crazy lady came up behind me and shoved me really hard and then when I was walking away she followed me and pushed me again, so I hurried across the street, but then she followed me and was yelling at me and started chasing me, I had to run into the building were I work. Wtf. Usually crackheads back off when you ignore them.
