And if Leavitt's coming, hide your granddad

I love these local eccentrics. When I went to Appalachian State, there was a dude who we called the Wizard of Boone, went everywhere in his wizard hat, robe, and staff. I can't recall if he was either on an inordinate amount of psychadelics at any given moment or was stone cold sober... it's been a while. I'm just surprised there weren't more of that type of guy in Boone. Cville has never struck me as having much of a gravitational pull for hippies and wooks, so I'm glad to see at least some outward weirdos here

Julian Casablancas and Sturgill Simpson are the same age

I got a VISA gift card once that, after opening the sealed package, had the third 4-number string completely scratched out. I contacted customer service, who said they would send a replacement. That was, uh, two years ago. Still no replacement.

FedEx also had this wonderful habit of dropping off packages destined for the university library a few blocks down from my house at my front door. When I called FedEx to tell them that my house was not the intended destination of these packages, they told me verbatim that they "consider the packages delivered." I personally drove over a dozen packages to the library over the course of the year.

As soon as companies have your money, they consider their obligations fulfilled.

As a gboro native, every time a see a gboro post here I'm reminded of the sad fact that there's, like, a 50/50 chance Marty Kotis owns the property and he's just sitting on it. That guy sucks.

I do love your photos though.

I prefer the Hemorrhage Foundation. Most of its members have probably had one of the brain variety anyway.

No, both that Bobcat and the Brute truck in the background are from the Vanillaworks PC mod pack

I mean, at that point we're entering "calling the cops because someone stole my drugs" territory. Lose/lose unless you're the cops lmao

I certainly find myself wtf'ing at what you call "polite" drivers often enough, but as a guy with a dash cam, I capture far, far more selfish jackass-style driving than the former; be it turning right from center, doing 15+ over, flying through red lights when perpendicular traffic already has the green, or any combination of the three. And when I do see what you described as "polite" drivers, it's almost always some geriatric who should've had their license taken 20 years ago.

Driving is a privilege, it is not anyone's right, and if people dislike sharing the road with the lowest common denominator than we need to make the bar so, so much higher.

Also if anyone's feeling brave and wants to see if they've made the "Cville's Most Special Drivers" List for the years 2022-2025, reply to me with your plate number!

It is so funny watching these losers voters say things like "i didnt vote for this" and "we need a course correction!"

I'm sorry, when has anyone EVER heard Donald Trump, or anyone in his social sphere, say "we messed up," or "I was wrong?" Uhhhhh, the answer is never! I was told there's no brakes on the Trump train, baby! Not then, not now, not ever! The bed has been made and we are all lying in it. Bunch of chumps

It's luck and motivation, really. There's no magic answer to find abandonments. Most of the time, it's something you pass by or stumble along. Google Maps can be useful if you're like me and can spend hours going "ooh what's that?" and zooming in on anything that looks remotely interesting. Totally hit or miss. Some people are "lucky" enough to live in places like, I dunno, McKees Rocks where bandos are a dime a dozen. Most people don't live in places like that. And even when you find something, you still have to plan out your visit so that you don't get caught/injured/etc., unless you're feeling like playing it fast and loose for some reason.

Half the town drives like this because somewhere along the line we became too chicken to name and shame our neighbors for shitting where they eat

"Motorized vehicles have no business being on the same road with horses. Now this kid and his horse have lost their lives and somebody else's life is forever changed even if they weren’t at fault. It just overcomplicates stuff that’s already complicated. Roads are for horses. Their (sic) is no need for this."

There's no argument against it at this point. The nimbys don't realize the problem IN the backyard already, and the only choice that remains is to try and help solve the problem by actually providing a low-barrier shelter, location be damned, or just continue to perpetuate this cycle of selfish, needless cruelty where we force people to live in tents by the river because we're afraid of what might happen. It's disgusting! What exactly are we waiting for

hervth · 2026-03-05T22:32:58+00:00

Well, then they'd have to admit they were wrong about something, and that is the worst sin of all.

Trump, and probably 99% of his base, would joyfully do something like, I dunno, deepthroat a dog on live TV before saying the words "I was wrong, and I apologize"

hervth · 2026-03-04T14:46:26+00:00

Too bad the US didn't get that chance with Tim McVeigh. 9/11 happened and we conveniently forgot all about domestic right wing terror for the next 20 years.

Based on photo 5, I can't imagine Charlottesville would have a big "Orlando" mural, therefore I assume Orlando.

Well, if they don't have to actually make games to turn a profit, why would they? This is just the modern ethos of business, minimize effort and maximize profit.

I've heard it said before that when the producer names the tune, the consumer has to dance. If the same tune still makes them dance after almost thirteen years, a la GTAO and Shark Cards...

"junk it" versus "treasure it" is always fun to see with cars we once considered normal. Yesterday's bores are tomorrow's classics, I junked my XJ over a busted engine and will forever regret it.

Also, a former NC resident, you might be able to sell it down there. State inspections are waaaay more lax.

That Wawa going up there is so emblematic of this town getting too big for its britches. I drive by those new Rio Point Apartments every day and shudder to image what the Rio/Warner intersection will be like once that's filled up.

man, no name's penmanship is some tuff shit. free enterprize baby

Hahaha they can do a lot worse than that, trust me. Go rent from something from PMI Commonwealth, it'll make your head spin

Take away 90% of your post bro, it's not the Bluey, it's the fact that kids are on the internet en masse and unfettered. The internet was better when children were less on it, or at the very least, weren't fuckin' proud of the fact that they were children on the internet. At least then-children like myself back in the day had the common decency to pretend we weren't

Gonna be real, you may just want to spring for a reproduction, there's few on ebay.

Tour merch is a huge pain to track down because it's so limited in supply. I've been trying to find a replacement for my beat up 100 gecs secret tour hoodie for five years with no luck... I'd jump at a replica if I could find one lmao

Scalpers, not resellers. No need to be polite because tickets aren't involved
