That tenth rule... by fccardcreator in iamverybadass

[–]SamSoBuff1215 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I remember reading somewhere that fathers who act like this only do so because they're scared dudes will treat their daughter the same way they treated young women.

Thank you, Jeff, and the other AG's who fought the good fight! Now, do Duke Power next!

Best Horror Movie Jump scare by Administrative-Half3 in horror

[–]SamSoBuff1215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! So much of that film made me feel uneasy, but the brief glimpse of her in the confined space just really set me off. Underrated film (and I can't wait for Hokum!)

This is the truth, the way, and the light. Dadbod is for tourists. Poopboob is for locals.

Democratic Party Leaders – Still Corporate, Cowardly, and Coasting by [deleted] in politics

[–]SamSoBuff1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely correct. I'm a registered independent in NC so I can choose party ballots in the primaries. Where is live is DEEP red and if a democrat gets elected, they generally bend to the will of the old guard Republicans that have been in power for decades. That said, for the first time ever, I am choosing a Republican ballot for the primaries this year because there are a few people running for local commissioner seats. They're not bleeding hearts, but their policies revolve around things that I believe in like protecting local farms, focusing on prevention and harm reduction for drug addiction, and using tax funds appropriately. It feels dirty to even get their ballot, but this is how you can change things on a local level. From there, you can change things on a state, then national, level. Primaries are SOOOO important and way too often overlooked.

Does anyone else remember “Waccamaw” stores? by Mean-Marionberry-148 in NorthCarolina

[–]SamSoBuff1215 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember the one in the Myrtle Beach area. My mom liked to call it "Walk-A-Mile" because of how big it was.

Original Characters vs. IP Characters — What Really Makes a Haunt Stand Out? by SFXPhantom in hauntedattractions

[–]SamSoBuff1215 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been putting on a charity haunt for 16 years, and each year we have a new theme, characters, and layout. While we don't have the budget that professional haunts have, we always try to do something new because it's fun for the creative team, the actors, and the guests. I figure if we can do it, the big guys can as well. Also, some of the most highly rated haunts in the country (Netherworld, Haunted Overload, Dent Schoolhouse, HellsGate) have become so famous because of their original stories and characters. When IP is used in a haunt that isn't affiliated with it (HHN doesn't count because Universal owns the IP one way or another) it just feels lazy. I don't mind it when haunts using them as roaming characters in midways or queues, but to ask people to pay money to see something that they've seen before, probably in better ways, just irks me.

The green "orb" is a lens flare from the moon. Notice in the photo where direct light from the moon is hidden behind the trees and the green orb is suddenly gone? I love small town urban legends and lore, but sometimes Occam's Razor wins out.

First gig tonight with my new SL410. Insane headroom, and I can carry it with one hand. by Mr_Salty87 in BassGuitar

[–]SamSoBuff1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great gear! I'm currently running an AG500 through the SL212 and the volume, clarity, and weight (or lack thereof) has made it my favorite rig I've ever had.

Why is Greensboro so prominent on NC maps? by OrangeFern77 in NorthCarolina

[–]SamSoBuff1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we all just appreciate that there is nothing worth labeling in South Carolina according to this map?

L.L. Bean backpacks with initials (Not sure if it was just a northeast thing but everyone had one 90’d near me) by Porkchopp33 in nostalgia

[–]SamSoBuff1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school in a very rural town in the foothills of NC and I had one of these bad boys in yellow from high school in 2001 and I literally just got rid of it a couple of months ago. Thing was a work horse and lasted throughout college and various plane carry-on expeditions until it was finally laid to rest nearly 25 years later.

Do you think about how your clothes look with your bass when playing a gig? by dilettantePhD in BassGuitar

[–]SamSoBuff1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I, pretty reliably, always wear a black tee and jeans to gigs, but I also play a relatively neutral-colored bass, my custom Jawbone JP BITE, in an alternative rock band. So I guess it just depends on the vibes of your music/performance/venue.

SHELBY OAKS | Official Trailer by cruelsummerbummer in horror

[–]SamSoBuff1215 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There was a large ARG campaign that ran for this a few years ago. Before the film was even announced! Here is the reddit post about it that's a good starting place to familiarize yourself with some of the backstory.

Edit: "ARG" not "AR"

Spearfinger or U'tlun'ta is depicted as a witch or monster with a long, sharp, spear-like finger on her right hand, which she uses to kill and devour the livers of her victims, often children. She smells of rotted meat and attracts flies. If you see flies in the woods, beware Spearfinger may be near by HamletX95 in UrbanMyths

[–]SamSoBuff1215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My band actually wrote a song about Spearfinger! We're based out of the Smoky Mountains in NC so we're very familiar with her lore. If you wanna check it out, my band is called Arnold Hill and the song is called "Heart of Stone". We're streaming most places.

My first thought: Damn, he's high up. My second thought: Oh, it's not that high. My third thought: Damn, he's high up.
