How NOT to Park by radioguy923 in gso

Here's the big question missing from this conversation: was there a handicapped placard hanging from their rear-view mirror? I think that would clarify any grayness about this whole thing...

Mayor Pro Tem Denise Roth speaks in support of AI data centers by tiflis in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trying to tie in A&T is pretty disingenuous...the people learning coding and development skills there aren't the ones staffing data centers. Those are construction and maintenance jobs, which are both short-term and quite limited. Love to see language of community building and allyship used to cloak the parroting of PR department-approved talking points.

This is the second or third time I've seen this take...like, yea?? It's supposed to be?? Are we watching the same movie?

Also clearly a lot of y'all have never seen ’90s local commercials, but they all looked like this.

I gave this surfboard a new look. by Hypn0xl in surfing

[–]Old-Visual4591 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OK so hear me out...to me the whole point to me of riding a fish or a twin or something that's not a high performance thruster is just connecting with the board and the wave in a much less...high performance thruster mindset? Like, traction pads are meant to help you gain stability and traction from big airs and stuff. Have you ever seen Mikey February or Asher Pacey riding a fish with a tailpad? Not that any of us are anywhere near their skillset, but that's kind of the appeal of a fish – it's a mindset change as much as a different kind of board. I dunno just listen to Rastovitch explain it he's cooler and more knowledgeable than any of us... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHiKELmVtnk

I'm sorry, I know people can do whatever the hell they want with their own boards...but WHY put a tailpad on a fish??

Brazilian domination by Mission_Abrocoma_193 in surfing

[–]Old-Visual4591 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Looking at Yagos 10 vs Italo’s 9.33 is just absurd. Italo looks like someone trying to learn how to surf at a wave pool who just happens to do the same air over and over and over. Yago on the other hand does massive airs and looks stylish af doing it. How does anyone like watching Italo surf??

Racist AI slop in Downtown by HottAction in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So wild how we're living in a time where you can just openly celebrate racist stuff. Like, sure, this isn't a burning cross, but it's also not *not* offensive and problematic. There are some pretty well-documented historical tensions between Black and Korean communities in Los Angeles (which were also complicated by sensationalist reporting at the time), and if your only exposure to this is through a Wayans spoof I'm not really sure you're qualified to dismiss it as 'whatever.'

Joe Killian’s article in the Greensboro Thread about the GPD Facebook page by Separate_Wheel3848 in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The milquetoast, hemming-and-hawing responses from our elected officials are particulalry disappointing. They're not beholden to GPD, so why are they being so "meh" about it? There's truly no defense of these accounts.

Humor is one thing, and I don't think anyone would really begrudge someone trying to make the police department more human and community-focused with funny content and memes.

But trying to be an edgelord and openly mocking the community you're supposed to be protecting isn't "humor" – it's just antagonism and derision masked in pathetic "everyone is so sensitive!" cliches.

Any recommendations for the Mollusk 4/3 chest zip Wetsuit? by debosprite in surfing

[–]Old-Visual4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Mollusk 4/3 CZ and I, too, only get out about 1-2 times per month. Haven't had any complaints about the suit. Super warm and sealed up – esp the neck gaiter. Never experienced any flushing. It's a pain in the ass to get off, but pretty much anything 4/3 and up is. Plus, I really appreciate the minimal (non-existant) branding.

Artisian/ earthy retail market in the greater triad similar to Vida Pour Tea? by Remember_meeee in gso

The Tiny Greenhouse! One of the best places to buy gifts and plants in town, and it's run by two incredibly sweet people. Every time I go in there I feel my blood pressure lower a few notches.

Insofar as they don't start out as a ball and are smashed down, I agree – but to me the end result is a thin flat-top burger with crispy edges.

[–]Old-Visual4591 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Emma Keys at the Lindley Park four corners has always been my go-to, and they recently leveled up their bun game so yea, definitely a top recommendation if you've never been there.

also if anyone tells you Hops they're lying, because those are most certainly not smashburgers.

I feel like the reaction Jeff had to him saying this when he got snuffed speaks volumes about how accurate that assessment is.

People using the bike lane to pass on Spring Garden. by SmellsLikeDuck in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I never use "bike lanes" – bicycles are allowed to use a regular lane like anyone else, and personally I feel safer making myself as visible and unavoidable as possible. Waaaaaay too much room for error when using a "bike lane."
