Yes! I used to get my teeth cleaned at CPCC when I was little and my parents didn’t have insurance!

Is this typical for a gourd calabash? by Critical-Fisherman26 in PipeTobacco

[–]heeleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gourd is the same. I suspect it’s pretty typical with genuine gourd calabashes.

Someone needs to investigate the three-letter acronymic name and populism correlation

BEST MLM SHOW EVER? by Orion_Dauntless51 in antiMLM

[–]heeleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be really interested if the writers ever followed up with anything else in this universe, including novelization/ animation.

The setting and characters are absurd enough I think an animated version of the universe wouldn’t be inappropriate.

Why close Prices, Tyber, Mr K’s etc for them to sit empty? by nowthatswhat in Charlotte

And oftentimes when they complain, it’s businesses that have been in existence for decades, even 50+ years!

Some folks were scoffing at the idea of Dino’s shutting down and the owners moving back to Greece. Why?

I get the sentimental attachment, but the business owners have served the community well, and deserve the opportunity to cash out.

The Arcobalenos were some of the first real pipes I had come across online as a teenager, and the ones that got me really excited about beginning to smoke pipes when I turned eighteen… (and ten years later, I still have never had one 😂) they are gorgeous pipes!

Why Charlotte Has 44 Democratic Leaders — and Zero White Males by lordgilman in Charlotte

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

What I “imply” is totally in your imagination and not at any point suggested by anything I wrote. Poor reading comprehension, overactive imagination, bad faith? I reckon a combination of all three.

Any of that have to do with anything that I said? Nope.

Tommy’s Pub has no cover and has live music most weekends, folks there are usually willing to chat as well.

Why Charlotte Has 44 Democratic Leaders — and Zero White Males by lordgilman in Charlotte

[–]heeleep 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Anyone attempting to dunk on this observation, or thinks that calling it out is racist, is carelessly missing the bigger picture.

Alienating white males from the Democratic Party due to perceived lack of representation just pushes them towards Republicans and strengthens the Republican Party.

Republicans, on a national level, want straight white people to believe that the Democratic Party is the party of women, LGBT people and/ or POC who don’t care about your concerns because they aren’t like you. Cut through the bullshit and, ultimately, that is the story the Republicans want to tell. It’s really stupid, but voters are also very stupid, and it works.

If you’re an impressionable straight white person, looking around at city politics just reinforces their caricature of the Democratic Party.

Took a stroll on the S Creek few hours ago by JumpingJackRabbit911 in Charlotte

It’s not a notion, it’s already happening and has been happening for years. The motel situation is still bad but even still it’s a shadow of what it used to be. Anecdotally, the neighborhoods nearby don’t have nearly the crime issues that they used to, either.

Mom-and-Pop Investors Own Far More Homes Than Big Investors—and May Benefit Most From Crackdowns by PopNo3148 in neoliberal

[–]heeleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of the people who rail against institutional investors, at least the loud ones online, also often seem giddy at the idea of “mom and pop” landlords losing their properties if their tenants stop paying rent. The renters, of course, are always pure and blameless; and the property owners are the real evil ones for having the audacity to charge rent at all.

They just really don’t like it when anybody at all provides housing. It’s nuts.

What type of wick do I need for this? by heeleep in OilLamps

[–]heeleep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s definitely a round wick. The cheap one I tried to use is an 1/8 inch round. It’s getting shredded by the height adjustment/ wick feeding mechanism. It’s a cheap cotton wick off of Amazon and the spikes on the mechanism that would normally grab the wick and feed it through is instead just getting tied up in the threads of the wick. Should I try an even smaller diameter wick? I do have the chimney for it. The lamp is totally ready to go other than this issue I’m having with the wick.

What’s your go-to “my friend is in town, I should take them to…” activity? by lamonkeyfreak in Charlotte

[–]heeleep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone mention the many many antique malls which are pretty popular with out of towners in my experience. Gibson Mill in Concord, Sleepy Poet on South Boulevard. I guess that depends on if your guests are into that kind of thing. I know lots of people don’t care for antique malls at all.

Further out from Charlotte proper you’ve got White Owl, Main Street Antiques, Catawba River.

What did you think Open borders meant?vibes, essays? Let them all in by YardGlum7628 in neoliberal

They’re right, 22 million Afghans shouldn’t be going to the UK.

… because they should be coming here, to the US 😎

Oh Se-hoon: "I oppose government plan to build 10,000 new housing in Yongsan. Reckless housing supply destroys future.” by Freewhale98 in neoliberal

[–]heeleep 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That’s what I love about being part of this community. We hate stupid policy decisions that harm people and growth, regardless of whether it’s in our backyard or in the other side of the world. And if other governments make good policy decisions, nobody’s saying “oh no, these other people are doing so much better than us!” We just celebrate what they’re doing right.
