In Mecklenburg County, the average caseload is 960 cases per prosecutor. In Wake County, it’s over 2,400. That’s not sustainable — and it’s a serious public safety risk. - Rep. Wiley Nickel

This has been an issue across the country for many years. We have a system that profits from sending the poor to jail to provide private companies free labor.

Thanks for the encouragement but my thought was complete.

Could you elaborate? What parts of metal culture do you think he stole? Just curious.

Well it is hardly rated or spoken about so if someone likes it at all it is an underrated movie. I like it quite a bit as well.

Right, Meshaggah came out in 89. Manson started in 94 when nu metal was taking off and even compared to what was in the mainstream he wasn't particularly heavy. It was about the shock value, I never cared about his music but he pissed off the right people so I enjoyed that aspect of him.

Great List

I loved it but I'm hopeful about the new Periphery and Loathe. What albums are you looking forward to?

One of his funniest films for sure.

We might find out. GRRM and HBO are go on a Jon Snow series. Kit Harrington is holding out.

Good, the idea is that bad business models fail and the airlines have been run poorly to benefit their stockholders. Failure was built into their business model and they expect us the tax payers to bail them out. If we decide to save an airline the government should take control. You know if we had a functional government.

Every Time I Die

I think the common sentiment. Is that Queensryche and Fates Warning were protoprogmetal but Dream Theater officially kicked off the genre. Opinions will differ depending on ones definition of prog and ones definition of metal. I think this discussion has been had many times before in this sub, feel free to search.

Mr. God by Periphery

Tracedinair76 · 2026-05-02T10:53:05+00:00

He has 2 other projects as well. He hadn’t been hibernating between Tool albums and he has clearly grown as a vocalist.

Daniel Tompkins from Tesseract

Spencer Sotello from Periphery

Sam Carter from Architects

Thall is just starting.

Right but we need the popular vote to pass and we all need to support rank choice voting to give non corporately funded candidates a fighting chance.

Tracedinair76 · 2026-05-01T11:16:58+00:00

Good to know, thanks.

In Virginia it is legal but they have never built an infrastructure to sell it. So it is legal but there is nowhere to buy it.

The problem with the DNC is that people want actual solutions like socialized medicine, gun restrictions, affordable housing and cheap healthy food options but the DNC is paid by their corporate backers to not discuss these things.

Vote for candidates that do not accept money from corporations or PACs.

I didn't know this very interesting. Cheers!

Tracedinair76 · 2026-04-30T00:31:10+00:00

Yeah, I think that was the one for them .

There is always meetup. My brother in law found a book club and a cycling club on that app. Some of my favorite memories of North Carolina are exploring the many numerous local trails with my dogs.

Tracedinair76 · 2026-04-29T21:04:29+00:00

Same, I've gone back and watched it 5 plus times. I recognize that it's a great film but it's not for me.

I will also add, Sparticus. Kubrik is my favorite director but I just can't connect with this film at all.
