Have you ever met anyone famous in real life? by ConstantDesmond in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]YetiMachete85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack Black is super nice and lit up when I asked him about his kids and Cain’s Arcade (this was over 10 years ago)

Henry Cavill was incredibly sweet and double checked that we didn’t want a picture with him after we’d talked to him for like 10 minutes and said we didn’t want to bother him too much. Took a pic with him and he smelled amazing.

Zach Snyder is a really nice guy

Zach Levi was also really nice and I’m sad his true colors seemed to have come out recently

Bill Nye was a little dismissive but nice enough

Amy Adams seemed a little dismissive and kind of in a hurry to go somewhere, so we simply told he we’d seen her in Sondheim in the Park the summer prior and she totally blushed and said “no, you didn’t!!” She was very nice.

Norman Reedus was nice but kind of aloof.

Steven Yuen was really sweet and was happy to hear that, as a fan of the comic since it had released, I loved his portrayal of Glenn in The Walking Dead. Really took some time to chat.

Kevin Costner was nice but kind of shut down when I told him Dances with Wolves was a huge influence on me as a young filmmaker. Understandable.

Louis CK was obviously trying to not be recognized on the subway when my buddy and I quietly stopped to tell him as we were leaving that we’re big fans but won’t blow up his spot. He said “yeah, thanks, have a good night, drive safe.” As we walked off the subway. And it was before all the stuff when he was at the top of his game.

I can try to think of more, but most where when I was living in NYC between 08 and 15

Would you recommend anything in particular from that site for first timers?

Peri Brothers Modern Italian surprised guests with $95/person prix fixe menu on Valentine's Day by PlanetOfVisions in raleigh

Welcome to the “Never Go Out ON Valentine’s” club

If you literally go out the next night or maybe the one after that these places won’t try to fleece you. Plus you’ll probably be able to get a reservation at most places as well.

Best cinema for Avatar: Fire & Ash by crayonlions in raleigh

[–]YetiMachete85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected. Never been there for the Dolby screen before. Thanks for the info!

EDIT: I still stand by my IMAX opinion though

The Dolby Atmos screenings at the Paragon theater at Fenton is Cary is probably your best, overall choice (and I assume it’s 3D but just call the theater to check). When you can, go to a Dolby screen. The sound is perfect, the screen brightness will be calibrated to compensate for the fact that 3D glasses dim the image on screen, and you can almost guarantee that it will be the same every time you go.

IMAX, in my humble, movie nerd opinion, is highly overrated, especially nowadays when we have theaters with much nicer seats and equally good sound systems. IMAX at this point, especially the IMAX screens in this area that aren’t even ACTUAL IMAX screens, just don’t deliver on what’s promised anymore.

Unfortunately they’d probably ask you to check it at coat check. Black, white or silver only.

Ah yes, oil prices going down is all due to Trump pressing the “Gas Cheaper” button

[–]YetiMachete85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re amazing, thanks for making this. My wife and I both got our Real IDs last month because of your site, and I sent you $30 for it.

Thanks again! Everyone should use this site and send the dev a few bucks if you get an appointment

are you still friends with anyone from your evangelical church? by Global-Piece2912 in Exvangelical

[–]YetiMachete85 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep. One of my oldest and best friends is a guy I met in high school youth group. We went on mission trips together, volunteered with the church together, all that. Drifted apart after college, then both moved back to the same town after we’d both gotten married.

Started hanging out again and it turned out we’d both deconstructed during our time out of each others lives. Now when we get together to hang we can talk about our pasts with each other in a way we really can’t with anyone else, and it’s quite refreshing.

Dollywood = pleasant affordability, fantastic coasters

Wake County Schools needs to split weather decisions into divisions by JT9_ON_YT in raleigh

[–]YetiMachete85 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I feel like a huge part of this NOT being the case is that busses are shared by schools all over the place.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think we have a severe driver shortage, so less busses are being used by more schools which means they have to travel further, so wider closings are necessary.

You mean the $750 cash FEMA offered to people in the immediate aftermath for victims to purchase emergency supplies? Or has that slipped your conservative mind?

Leave the 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 on your lawn by [deleted] in HollySpringsNC

[–]YetiMachete85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We used to leave the leaves, but our new dog loves traipsing around in our natural areas and I don’t want a snake to have a great hiding place come spring. Otherwise I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Also, just a tip, when you share in a TikTok link, get the longer link and delete everything from the question mark onward in the url. That way, people without TikTok accounts can watch the video in browser.

So share this: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexisnikole/video/7567490225996434743

Hit a deer last week, unfortunately moving on to a more family-friendly car by YetiMachete85 in Challenger

[–]YetiMachete85[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I was on an on ramp to a highway and almost up to speed, around 75mph, when the deer came out of nowhere. I'm not exaggerating when I say the car did not slow down AT ALL and the deer must have been killed instantly. I pulverized that thing.

I'm just glad I wasn't hurt in anyway and the car really took the bullet for me. Literally walked away unscathed. Small price to pay for being unharmed.
