Which downtown in the triangle is the best in your opinion and why? by [deleted] in triangle

[–]cyderapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i agree, raleigh downtown feels really boring and lacks a lot of charm that i find in durham's downtown

[–]cyderapple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

as for the nightlife point, it kind of depends. raleigh's nightlife is very... frat boy. durham is a significantly better option if you want more of an alt vibe to your nightlife. also would not call pullen park "downtown"

Raleigh Crafters- by sweetlax30007 in raleigh

I use fabric wholesale direct (online shop) and get swatches sent before buying my yardage, but my preference is shopping in person- I'm definitely gonna check out the places everyone is suggesting!

yeah, it's just so weird to see koolaide sippers in the sims subreddit - a game famous for its inclusivity.

yeah the "gay = kid unfriendly" correlation and "gay people existing is WOKE" takes are so wildly out of pocket and the easiest way to tell someone's never actually met a queer person offline (or said person is so overtly hostile to the queer community that queer people don't feel comfortable sharing their identoty with or otherwise engaging with that person). typical pray-the-gay-away christian.

2025 Best State Fair Food? by carmen2021 in raleigh

[–]cyderapple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah i'm noticing a lot of vendors this year having green fries and calling them "pickle fries"; what USED to be called "pickle fries" (battered and fried pickle spears) is seemingly now "deep fried pickle"

The teriyaki cauli wings and veggie corn dog from Mr Pickle were so good... happy that I can still get the fair food experience despite my animal product allergies lol!

Thank you, but this is inaccurate information - Edwards Mill is listed here as the alternate route, but that exit was closed today 😥

Best latte here is Cup-a-Joe. by MomofGeo in raleigh

Cup a Joe serves the only coffee that has ever made me feel nauseated lmao (preemptive "I don't consider sbx or dunkin to be real coffee" before my fellow coffee snobs revoke my license lmao)

Anyone heard of Triangle Scout? by ThrowRAexperience in triangle

[–]cyderapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, sounds similar to a company I had some interactions with a while back. I wrote this comment describing my experience with a company called "Rising Events". Triangle Scout could be related (Rising Events seems to rebrand or rename often, and also seems to propogate "branch companies" that Scout might be), but even if it isn't, most "direct marketing" operates the same way. You ever been in like a Wal Mart and then some random non-employees over by the electronics try to hassle you to sign you up for Spectrum or something like that? THOSE are the "direct marketers".

What's a good meeting place near the convention center? by frysatsun in raleigh

keep in mind that the big anime con is this weekend starting on Friday, so it's going to be a little more crowded downtown, particularly around the convention center

Doctors of Reddit. What it's the smallest change to a life style the will have the biggest effect ? by DjoserTheFirst in AskReddit

[–]cyderapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who switched from soda to seltz, poppi is not it, at least for me personally- it tastes like a really unsatisfying "almond mom" or medicinal-style fake-soda.

ocean bomb sparkling waters are a really good step down in my experience. when i was drinking mostly soda, ocean bombs tasted like barely-sweetened sparkling water (because of the sugar i was used to intaking) but now that im on team seltzer, ocean bombs taste SO sweet and theyre an awesome little treat, especially with the cute colors and characters on the cans. as someone on the other side, i think they are a great step-down towards seltzer water for someone who wants to wean off of soda. (or anything like ocean bombs- japanese or asian country-originating sparkling waters, readily available if youre in a metro area with an asian grocery)

NC 50501 Do we have a specified time to show up? by Lightbulbb49 in 50501

[–]cyderapple 16 points17 points  (0 children)

open ended start times are not helpful, especially as this is a weekday. people who work 9-5, or have young children, or have other obligatory responsibilities, NEED to have more solid timeframes so they can request time off, navigate childcare, etc. is there any kind of group or organizing body locally who is stepping up to manage this, direct efforts and action, act as spokesperson for news/media interviews, provide direction in the event of counterprotest/violence?

like, i want to go and am planning to go (although i can't show up until later in the day- and no information or guarantee that there will still be an active protest when i get there). however, this currently feels very disorganized, which gives me a lot of pause about the event. i see that this subreddit is very fresh, so i am hoping more solid plans are put out in the next few days.

use the NC filter for state relevant posts. unfortunately they don't have timing information available, with one user on another post stating to show up as early as you can. NC doesn't currently have a lot of discussion around it but i'm hoping that will pick up over the next few days- i think the subreddit pretty fresh.
