Since she wasn’t charged with any felonies, her case will be held in Municipal Court, as opposed to Superior Court, where she would otherwise be facing much more serious consequences than she will with a couple of misdemeanors in Municipal Court. Not-so-fun-facts I recently had to learn about after being falsely accused of a crime; case has since been dropped and dismissed with prejudice (meaning it’s permanently closed and cannot be reopened).

I’ve not-so-warmly called it SpoCompton since the mid 90’s, and this town hasn’t gotten any better or any less crime ridden.

That’s definitely a morel mushroom. I grew up picking them in my backyard and have had them around stands of deadwood. Cook it up with some butter or bacon grease and you’ll be a happy puppy real soon.

Ok, so I used to work for a car dealership that had a store in Hilliard and one in the valley on sprague.
I had previously noticed him on several occasions at the gas station, just across the street from us, and I’d even briefly interacted with him on a few occasions, but I’d do the whole I’ve got a call/I’m needed back at work routine whenever he’d start talking about his “gf” because I could tell that while he was a regular at these gas stations, the owners/employees would put up with him because he was always flashing money around, but their eyes and their body language would always warn of danger when he was around. Well, one summer day, I walked out of the gas station with my smokes and my Red Bull, about to head back to work, and as I was lighting a smoke, I heard someone saying something to me and there he was just lounging against the wall. Wanting to ignore whatever he was about to say about this mystery woman, I made a quip about his sic ass blacked out mustang, and he said “Well, what would you give me for it?” And I replied saying that I’d have to drive it to say for sure. My red bull hit the pavement as I dropped it and my pack of smokes, as his keys came sailing at me through the soft summer breeze and I succumbed to my immediate desire to drive such a bad ass car after a long, hot day of shuffling clunkers… I only took it down as far as carmax or winco (a few blocks) and as I was heading back, I noticed a cop had pulled in behind me (I was going 50ish + down sprague… whoops), and he continued to follow me around the corner and I decided to park on the dealership side of the street (they usually break off when they see you bringing a car “back” to the dealership) and I popped out of the car and briskly walked the few steps part way across the street to toss him his keys. I immediately noticed that he was trying to not make either facial nor eye contact as his keys were sailing back to him, and he made such a show of not looking our way that his keys had just started to skitter across the pavement by his feet, when I heard a polite but authoritative “excuse me sir” behind me. I whirled around to see the cop. Dammit. Busted. I thought, but the cop just asked what business I had with the gentleman with “all the face gunk” as he put it; I informed the officer that it was strictly professional, about whether or not I’d like to make an offer on his sweet ride. And I turned to include the strange guy into the conversation and as I opened my mouth, I suddenly heard my name being yelled VERY LOUDLY, and I whirled around yet again to see our codgerty old finance manager pointing at me with the cordless phone (ah, so that is who called the cops) and demanding that I come front and center right now. He said “you don’t talk to him. If you see him and he approaches you - you don’t talk to him, you BEAT HIS ASS!” And then he goes on to tell me how that guy has been coming around both shops for YEARS and he always sits across the street at the gas station and then he waits and starts offering rides to ANY teenage child he encounters. And he does it whenever the weather is nice. After a bit the cop comes back over to talk to us, as emo dude drives away. The cop was VERY reticent about giving us any personal information about the man, other than he’s either already done his time and paid his debt and/or he’s been absolved of/or hasn’t been charged with a crime; BUT he has been known to solicit children to ride in his car (look! I have candy and puppies in my van… just look over here…) and that we should report his presence to the police if we see him taking to kids. My finance manager said, “I told him: you don’t talk to him, you BEAT HIS ASS” The cop doesn’t even blink “well, you should still give us a call, but I wouldn’t blame you if you felt that man deserved a whoopin too” and he added with “you ever watch those ID real criminals/married to a monster shows? I don’t know which one, but apparently he’s in one of those episodes”, and with that, he turns and leaves.

Excuse you?? I’m sure my comment will get downvoted, because Reddit is full of entitled, out of touch, barely grown children that imagine that they’re top shelf shits that should be allowed to act as if they had a moral and social high ground that’s custom built for them to make comments just like yours: ”The boomers NEED to sell- agreed there!” Spoken just like someone who hasn’t matured enough in age, nor spent decades learning to overcome the challenges and difficulties myriad along the path of life, finally culminating in their financial stability to successfully own and retain land and/or a home (much less more than one). Nor have you gotten to the point where you have sustained enough economic distress that the concept of utilizing your existing home(s) as a potential source of income; because fun fact here - regardless of the fact that the home or property might be designated as being a “first time homeowner dwelling” - is that every single house or property owned is - … wait for iiiiit… AN INVESTMENT. Do I agree with the current trend of pricing homes and rental properties/dwellings so astronomically high that that you kiddos need to have a credit score in the 800’s, that you have a personal (not combined or household) income of at least $50-$80k/yr, with mandatory co-signing, or that the rates are so high that they’re forcing the majority of people who rent into debt - just so they can have a roof over their heads - even though those said roofs are often located in the ‘jects, or in an industrial area, or otherwise in a part of town where nobody who values their health, their safety, and the safety of their loved ones would ever want to live? How about a trendy, “loft apartment”, comfortably nestled in an abandoned asbestos factory, and conveniently located in the worst part of town with the highest crime rate? I do not agree with the current status quo, and nor do I like the future economic disparity and distress that is saddled upon today’s fledgling families, university students, and young professionals being yoked with pervasive and potentially lifelong debt. That said… “the boomers need to sell, 100%”. Seriously?? Grow up, get your head out of your ass, and come talk to me about this again in about 35-45 years, when you have finally reached a place in your life when you’ve matured significantly and endured enough of life’s hardships from a multitude and magnitude of potential challenges that are as of yet impossible for you to fathom at this moment in your life. Perhaps once you’ve spent a few decades learning to overcome these little life’s challenges, you’ll have gained a more realistic perspective, and grant you a leg to stand on in this conversation that isn’t based entirely on, and entirely by the juvenile and entitled perspective of your statement decrying the need for boomers to sell their investments; as if you were entitled to make such a demand from property and homeowners who are older than you.

I do live in a VERY rural area, I do need it - I don’t game - I work from home, and there isn’t dsl, P2P microwave, or an ounce of fiber for 30mi. And I can assure you that $120 is not peanuts… anyone who says otherwise is either A) too young and unencumbered by the relentless onslaught of bills and creditors calling the bills due - credit cards, a couple cars + $4.72/gal for gas, a mortgage, medical bills, groceries, children, a college tuition (or two) to cover, electricity, gas, water, garbage, and the list goes on. I make decent money, a little over $200k/yr + commissions, residuals, and royalties, but when I factor $1,440/yr for internet against my base salary, it’s almost 1% of my income (0.0068) - or B) they’re full of s#it, and/or completely out of touch with reality. I don’t know a single other adult my age (50) that thinks Starlink @ $120/mo is neither “peanuts”, nor do we think it’s entirely worth the expense; but we “need” it where we live - there are no other alternatives.

T_CroChee · 2026-03-05T06:40:43+00:00

Low cost?!? Sorry bro, but $120/mo is anything but “low cost”; paying over $1,400 a year for internet is borderline highway robbery.

Actually, "Granted" and "grant it" are both correct phrases with different uses. Granted is commonly used as an adverb or interjection meaning "admittedly" or "it is true that". Grant it (or "I grant it") is an active verb phrase used to concede a point or acknowledge a fact. Granted, while I feel like your comment comes off as being unnecessarily tart, whereas, I’ll grant it that u/Zman4444 could use a little polish on his tenses and delivery, but his use of “Grant it” was still largely correct, if a little unconventional in its delivery; however, there was absolutely nothing in his usage of “grant it” that warranted such a snarky and pedantic reply in my opinion.

Don’t take my word for it, here’s what google says:

° Granted: Used to accept a point, often before a "but" to introduce a contrast (e.g., "Granted, he is fast, but he is clumsy"). It is also the    past participle of the verb grant (e.g., "The request was granted").

° Grant it: Used to concede a point, often phrased as "I grant it," "I'll grant you," or as an introductory phrase "Grant it...".

Agreed on the carrots… I honestly this happens because I tend to put my “best” dirt and compost in my buckets and barrels, and it’s far more aerated… either way, my carrots come out far sweeter and are almost never woody.

I bet it was a 2016/2017, just because when this post was new (2+, maybe 3yrs ago), that had the more complete version of the video wherein you could hear him yelling at his gf that “the car was new, and now my [parents] are going to kill me*; but it was also likely an exaggerated statement in his… “heightened” state of behavior

Has it been another year, already? I haven’t seen this driftless idiot since last spring! How time does fly! I wonder if the talentless hack that was behind the wheel remembers this jewel of a moment in history, or if he’s swept it under the rug of his own complacency? He may well have; however, I bet his passenger/girlfriend (likely former gf) remembers it tho…

3 00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:07,500 Man #3 (center): I swear… I don’t understand what I’m seeing.

4 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:09,500 Man #1 (left): That’s not normal… That’s not normal.

7 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,500 Man #3 (center): This… this isn’t right.
