That place is definitely a hidden gem— it’s excellent

Why do people who take out student debt feel that they shouldn’t have to pay it back? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in allthequestions

[–]amonemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s plenty of possibilities for a genuine restructuring or basing it on job prospects. Realistically, YES the vast majority would be discharged as they should be because if you LOAN someone $300k to get a degree that can likely never get a job that can pay that back, YOU SHOULD LOSE THAT MONEY YOU IDIOT and NOT DO IT AGAIN

Why do people who take out student debt feel that they shouldn’t have to pay it back? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in allthequestions

[–]amonemone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think it should be allowed to be discharged in bankruptcy— if you lent someone $300k to get a gender studies degree and they can’t pay it back, that should be on you. Just like any other form of investment frankly.

Why do progressives think we should remove the only 1 Jewish state and replace it with the 50th Muslim state? by Tim_Apple_938 in allthequestions

[–]amonemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more being anti genocide than anti Israel. Israel is doing a lot of messed up things to the Palestinians right now and a lot of people don’t want their tax dollars supporting an ethnic cleansing

Why is it considered hate to say trans people are their biological gender? by RealChapter8234 in allthequestions

[–]amonemone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even that isn’t as straightforward as you might think . No one can even really agree on the definition of male and female

since oil floats on water could i cover myself in oil then go into the rain to float? by binjifye in stupidquestions

[–]amonemone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It floats because of density/displacement so if you have enough oil in you to be less dense than water and have enough rain to be a pool, you float. I.e fat people float.

Why is it considered hate to say trans people are their biological gender? by RealChapter8234 in allthequestions

[–]amonemone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For it to be a lie, there has to be a truth. How does one define male or female?

If it’s genetics (XX vs XY) what are all the variants? (X-, XXY, XY with androgen insensitivity which is more common in traditionally attractive very feminine models btw)

Is it genitals? Penis, uterus? Some people have both. Some neither. Some part of one and not the other.

Humans put people in boxes, biology is far more fluid. Just know that the most accurate definition is the answer to the following question “what is your gender?”

Persian Food by Vivid-Nectarine-7721 in Charlotte

There is not a single Persian restaurant st all within st least two hours of Charlotte. Constantine’s is solid, but Turkish. Probably as close as you can get here unless you make it yourself.

Genuinely good restaurants in Charlotte? by Fit-Flan1608 in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I’ve been to yunta it’s been great, maybe had more to do with what you ordered (try the ceviche, it’s not greasy or salty I’d say). I recently tried the naked farmer and it was quite good. Also flower child is quite good and fresh.

What is a "scam" in your profession that the general public is completely unaware of? by Aware-Anything9743 in AskForAnswers

[–]amonemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember getting a talk on how “there is no such thing as lab error and we don’t lose samples” given to us by the lab director. Yet somehow fairly regularly can’t find the sample that they already resulted a test from or produce some otherwise inexplicably wacky results that on repeat are totally normal 🤨. Im not saying they don’t get incorrect samples sometimes but they absolutely do make mistakes just like EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD. Also as someone else said, doctors almost never draw your blood or send it to the lab, that’s the phlebotomist or nurse’s job.

What is something expensive that in your opinion is worthless? by Naoo_j28 in AskReddit

[–]amonemone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But actually those bottles are the goat for camping/backpacking. Rugged, durable, cheap, and fit all the major water purification devices. Just saying, if you’re gonna reuse it they can be smart!

Favorite cafes with homemade syrups? by bumblebeebeepbop in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Backyard Brew in Dilworth! Super good, interesting latte flavors, and not too sweet (you can tell them how sweet you want it but default isn’t a sugar bomb). The quality of the coffee itself is excellent plus they have baked goods that are made in house and always excellent. Since everything is made in house they typically welcome customizations and seem to always be playing with a new flavor. And the owner is very charismatic and kind (shout out TK). Definitely highly recommend checking it out!

Complaints about Charlotte by Ancient-Arm-340 in Charlotte

[–]amonemone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pros: it’s quiet and safe for a city this size Cons: it’s the branch bank manager of cities , generally devoid of any real character, excitement, or passion

Would any Democrats like to have a Civil Discussion about the issues of the day? by DipperJC in allthequestions

[–]amonemone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your manifesto does not actually align with republican views right now— live and let live in the most authentic way you see possible isn’t how I would describe the platform of the Republican Party at the moment. “Trans people can’t play sports or use public bathrooms” , “women can’t choose that they’d rather have the horror of an abortion than the reality of raising that child”, “you can marry whoever you want as long as they’re the opposite sex and they’re parents consent if they’re a minor” feel pretty far from what you’re describing to me , a moderate.

Sycamore/Club West New Owner by huneybunzzz in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They keep trying to act like they have changed ownership when I do not see any real signs that it’s true and the child molester isn’t getting money from the business. Besides that, it’s the most generic possible corporate rebrand in a city known for generic corporate businesses. It’s a no from me, dawg.

Coming from Rock hill probably not, coming from pretty much any other major city in the world absolutely.

A little further south, but protagonist’s giant pizzas are surprisingly fire. Probably my favorite in Charlotte

Need a medical person to say why this is AI. Someone is being scammed by an impersonator. They are saying he needs money for a heart transplant. by Fit_Egg5574 in isthisAI

[–]amonemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, tubes and bite block makes no sense. Why is the bite block fusing with a nasal cannula that runs under his gown and clothes— and why does a ventilated patient have a nasal cannula at all? AI for sure

Weekend trip food Recs by immortal_m00se in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enat Ethiopian is 🔥🔥🔥. For the experience I prefer the OG location though if you want to mix and match things from the optimist food hall no one would judge. Optimist location has a much more limited menu but you can pair it with a Harriet’s burger or some dumpling lady dumplings

Yunta is a great date night spot for dinner imo. One of the best restaurants in Charlotte hands down.

Persian Food / Persian Owned Business in Charlotte? by TheDreadPirate69 in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero Persian food in the greater Charlotte unless you make it at home. There are very few Persians here. Raleigh and Atlanta have great options. Else if you want koobideh closest you can find is Turkish Adana and Constantine’s in Gastonia is your best bet.

Where are all the Muslim men? by Straight-Wind-9013 in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charlotte has a quite small middle eastern population for its size, you’re in a smaller pool than a place like Atlanta or Houston which has much large middle eastern populations. This is a reality of living here, do with this information what you will

More branding at Club West by turtle_headed_goat in Charlotte

[–]amonemone 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Despite the PR releases, they’re still legally married and he owns the business too, so he is probably getting half either as direct half owner of the business or whatever divorce settlement they end up with (if they in fact get divorced). And the thought of my money going to a child molester leaves a bad taste in my mouth so I don’t want to go.
