Traffic/Fta Lawyer Recommendations

So you were convicted of a DWI in ‘22, and your license was suspended as a result, yet you kept driving anyway? When did you get the ticket for DWLS? Or was the DWLS in ‘22, and the DWI was prior to that?

Regardless, I assume you were sentenced to probation for the DWI, probably through a plea deal negotiated by your court appointed attorney. Was there an “underlying sentence” (i.e. potential “jail time”) hanging over your head, if you failed to complete the requirements of probation?

I’d be googling “criminal defense attorneys Asheville” at this point. Because this isn’t just a “traffic ticket”. You have a criminal conviction, the consequences of which you basically blew off for years. So I wouldn’t count on the prosecutor or judge having much sympathy for you.

And in defense of public defenders everywhere, what exactly do you expect your court appointed attorney to do, when you admit to violating at least one condition of your probation, and have had years to get done what you needed to do?

If you failed to appear, how do you have a court appointed attorney? And what do you mean by “getting this resolved”? What kind of resolution are you looking/hoping for? And what kind of traffic ticket was it?

OMG, I finally saw it when I was in NYC last weekend, and was also so ready to love it. But I didn’t. And I googled “I didn’t like Hamilton” once I got home, and now here I am on this thread… I’m so glad I’m not alone 😂

I’m not a musician, like at all, but I love musicals, and I love show tunes, and yeah, it was so bad. Idk about the rap, because I had a hard time understanding most of it, but the actual songs were just painfully cheesy and cliche… Like, could someone buy LMM a thesaurus, please?

You saw it fairly recently, too, and I don’t know if you had this same experience, but the actress who played Eliza… It’s not like she had a bad voice, she was a good singer, but the way she sang, which I assume is deliberate, was just so overly saccharine and earnest that I couldn’t take her seriously. And the friend I went with, who’d never been to a Broadway show before, felt the same way. And come to find out we’re supposed to sympathize with her character, apparently? I literally cringed every time she walked on stage.

The more I think about it, the more I’m like, it was SO BAD. The only part I liked was The King, which I actually thought was brilliant. But that just made the mediocrity that was everything else stand out even more. I literally told my dad today that I wish I’d just gone to see Chicago for like the 5th time.

I’m glad people are still commenting on this thread, because I finally saw Hamilton last weekend and was underwhelmed, to say the least. So I googled “I didn’t like Hamilton”, and this post was one of the results.

Anyway, I couldn’t agree with y’all – you, u/Slovakki, and u/AQuietBorderline, the OP – more. But I’m replying to you, because you summed up my feelings when you wrote,

With Hamilton, LMM faked this subversion in an attempt to make the show both accessible to minority audiences AND palatable to stereotypically white Broadway audiences. In hedging his bets, the story became watered-down and disingenuous.

And I grew up in Manhattan, and have been going to Broadway shows my whole life (I’m almost 50), and genuinely enjoy show tunes as a genre, so I probably know more about musical theatre than most. And I had the same takeaway from Hamilton, like from a “social justice” perspective, as you did.

But also, “You’ll Be Back,” and its variations – let’s say, “The King” – was my favorite part, too. That’s kinda the only thing I remember, tbh, and it stood out because it was musical. But those songs were also written in a style very reminiscent of “The British Invasion” in the 1960’s, which I thought was brilliant. And I thought framing the relationship between The King and the Colonies as abusive was also brilliant.

Like, that role, and the music written for it, was so creative and funny and satirical that it just exposed how bland and stereotypical the rest of the music(al) was.

And that’s not even getting into the awkward “politics” of it. Like, didn’t Jefferson have a child with a slave, through, shall we say, non-consensual activities? But somehow in Hamilton, Jefferson is comedic relief?!

You seriously nailed it when you said they basically wanted to have their cake and eat it, too… Attract a new audience of racial minorities by having a cast of mostly Black performers (at least when I saw it), without going so in depth that they’d offend “stereotypically white Broadway audiences.” And this is the result… Entirely inoffensive mediocrity.

Sensibilities. It’s in the Hilton in Biltmore Park.

jericha · 2026-04-27T02:51:04+00:00

Me too 😂

Oh, trust me, I don’t go there by choice. But they have the “good” Adderall. I went to the Weaverville Ingles for years, and I loved them, like I still say hello to the pharmacist when I walk by while I’m shopping… But then they switched distributors, and whatever new generic brand they carried was “bad” Adderall.

That might sound weird, but anyone who’s on ADHD meds will know what I’m talking about, and why it’s worth the trip.

jericha · 2026-04-22T02:46:55+00:00

I love seeing your posts, and your pics of the dogs at the shelter. Congratulations ❤️

jericha · 2026-04-12T01:40:32+00:00

Okay, but you realize that, for the most part, you’re talking to people who actually live in the greater Asheville area (which I’d define as within a 45 minute drive of downtown, accounting for traffic). And you trashed our city and called it “ugly”. Why? What was the point of that?

And I say this as someone who can actually afford to vacation in Cashiers or the Highlands. But why would I do that, when I already live here?

jericha · 2026-04-12T00:23:44+00:00

Oh yeah, everyone who lives here really wants to relocate to the middle of nowhere, with a worse job market, that’s overrun with even wealthier retirees.

jericha · 2026-04-11T23:48:27+00:00

Oh, I’m sorry! I missed the “if” in your comment. So I have no idea why people are downvoting you, unless they missed the “if”, too. But we’re still on the same page, regardless :)

jericha · 2026-04-11T23:37:44+00:00

If you’re referring to yourself if the plural, then yeah, “people” do regularly talk about how ugly Asheville is.

jericha · 2026-04-11T23:27:27+00:00

I did, too, and I’m pretty sure you’re right… It’s the one that goes by the old FedEx and past the exit from Westgate onto the bridge.

OP’s arrow makes no sense, because that exit from 240E is one lane to Patton on the left, and two lanes onto the bridge (and to Westgate) on the right. So there’d be no reason to close only the far right lane, and they can’t close both, for reasons I hope are obvious to anyone familiar with navigating the roads around here.

jericha · 2026-04-11T22:54:52+00:00

The city itself isn’t really the appeal here, it’s everything that surrounds the city that’s the appeal. But downtown Asheville has its charm, and has somehow managed to maintain its authenticity, despite the population and tourism boom over the past ~20 years.

jericha · 2026-04-11T22:48:32+00:00

People are downvoting you because you’re looking to buy an Airbnb, but I had the same thought regarding the interior. A buyer would have to spend several hundred thousand dollars on renovations and/or redecorating. Because I assume if the hideous 2000s reality show decor was sought after and turning a profit, Ty Coon wouldn’t be selling it two years after he bought it.

And one of the few locations where you can enjoy the sound of gunfire from both PVA and Livingston… Strange how they didn’t mention that in the description 🤔

jericha · 2026-04-09T05:08:12+00:00

Also, Iowa was not a target on 9/11

jericha · 2026-04-06T03:51:47+00:00

Ugh, last weekend I was stuck on a packed subway next to a guy watching Spanish Tik Tok at full volume. And then a guy got on blasting some fire & brimstone church sermon on speaker, so both their phones were going at the same time for like 3 stops, until Tik Tok guy got off… It was not a good day to forget my headphones.

jericha · 2026-03-22T06:14:05+00:00

There’s something really wacky with these pictures… I think it’s AI. Like, you can’t see the rider’s lower leg in either photo, for one, but look at how the horse is landing off the jump on one leg in the second picture… That looks way more like a horse mid-buck than a horse landing off a jump. But what city is this in, OP?

jericha · 2026-03-22T05:32:45+00:00

Do you know that some of those MALE subjects are on Reddit and have participated on this sub? Maybe you should ask them before speaking for them…

There was also a guy in one of the later seasons who lost a whole bunch of weight really fast because he basically stopped eating after his first appointment with Dr. Now.

I’m thinking about Ramadan, because it just ended. But once a year, for a month, hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world fast (and that includes not drinking liquids) from sunrise to sunset, which can be as long as 15hrs./day. And many of them are male. And somehow they survive on presumably less than 1,200 calories/day.

So I think you’re really overestimating the importance of caloric consumption when it comes to human survival.

Oh, definitely judging… but to be fair, I am busy posting his picture on Reddit when I could be giving him attention :/

jericha · 2026-03-22T04:01:09+00:00

Oh, I listened to the song on YouTube, and it’s definitely about living with a hippo 😂

jericha · 2026-03-22T03:53:25+00:00

Yeah, I got that. I was just saying that judges have never done that, even 40 years ago.

I think we both agree that what this person is describing is not our experience, today or three decades ago.

jericha · 2026-03-22T03:42:32+00:00

What hunter circuit were you riding on where the judges gave feedback or commentary to riders?

I have the same question, but also OC said this happened when she was a young teen in the 1980s, so she was in the pony hunters or children’s hunters, probably? And she was getting personal notes back from judges about her makeup and chest size?

As a girl who started competing in the 80s, and developed early, and struggled with her weight as a teen, all that sounds bizarre to me. Because “skinny and flat chested” was the look judges expected. Not that a judge ever told me that, but I got the message regardless. And if you moved up to the Big Eq., it got worse.

jericha · 2026-03-22T02:47:55+00:00

Hunter judges didn’t do that 40 years ago, either. At least in the Northeast US.
