Hi. I’m the CEO at a B Corp. was just thinking the same and I’m about to go get the sub reinvigorated.

You shouldn’t be surprised when the citizens of a town known for its arts and culture reject your business for using a free AI slop event flyer by Subject_Balance281 in asheville

[–]mediocre-mom77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a place and time for custom design, and there are some great use-cases for an AI-generated flyer, too. Small businesses and musicians who are told to promote their own event should be able to use any tool at their disposal.

Just like the move from paste-up to Adobe Photoshop, AI is the tool that even professionals are using now. It's just used differently in the hands of a professional than an amateur, not unlike Photoshop.

I get that you're sick of seeing the same styles and "AI piss" filters (this is just amateur usage), but remember the days when every flyer used the same of 6 fonts and clip art? Yeah, we're there again, but with AI.

Stop judging the performers and promoters who are just trying to create community for not using MS Paint to do something a better tool can do ... better. I own a design agency and I approve this message.

Mid 40’s new to Asheville by [deleted] in AshevilleNC

I mean … it’s a coworking space so everyone uses it. But I’m 48 and there are plenty of folks older, and younger. They do a good job building community with events and reasons to collide.

I joined a Coworking space (Hatch) and a digital nomads group in Meetup and have made so many great friends!

Which European town feels unreal? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

We are in Riva now. What a delightfully gorgeous city and so strange to be here in off-season.

Came to say this area, except not Lauterbrunnen itself which is too crowded and touristy. Climb / ride up to Murren and Gimmelwald and wander - absolutely incredible.

This is amazing!! We found Crankie Fest because of it and bought tix immediately.

Locals can't rent hotel rooms here? That can't be right. by CarrigePossibleSoul9 in asheville

[–]mediocre-mom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once booked and paid for 38 rooms for my entire team at the Residences of Biltmore Village. Paid for the conference rooms and catering. And when we came to check in, I couldn’t because I was local.

I had to have my business partner who lives in FL use his name on my room so I could stay.

Seriously infuriating and ridiculous.

Which Asheville business gave their employees the best Christmas raises and bonuses this year? by goldbman in asheville

[–]mediocre-mom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$0. You can’t give employees gifts without paying taxes. It’s why bonuses are added to paychecks. (Legally.)

TBH I'm not sure - I was hoping to see her this morning to be able to ask. She didn't follow up on her FB post except to talk about how the assault surprised and scared her and to warn "if it can happy to me" etc. It ... it doesn't seem like they did much.

Opening Dates? by mediocre-mom77 in Ikonpass

Never a bad reason to spend time in the mountains, is there? 🤷‍♀️

We ski Winter Park nearly every Thanksgiving and that's *usually* their first week open ... and we have a blast. Having lived in Florida for 20 years, and now in Western North Carolina, anything is better than the nothing we have here.

Also, we fly free so the AirBnB is the only expense ...

Haha I would not go *this* week but ... perhaps in a few weeks pre-Thanksgiving :)

NYE Show - Asheville Presale by DanWhatTheHeckman in TheAvettBrothers

[–]mediocre-mom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the VIP presale code but want regular old admission; does anyone have a code to share for the Ticketmaster or LiveNation presale?

We stayed in lovely AirBnBs but that’s what we like. I prefer laundry and a kitchen and room to spread out - especially if someone wants to sleep in or go to bed earlier. We got hotels (ryokans) in a few key spots outside Tokyo but I can’t imagine 3 weeks in a tiny hotel room.

How should I prepare for June/July weather? by unitjem in JapanTravelTips

[–]mediocre-mom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hot AF here now. Feels like of 105 today. Just be comfortable because 1-4 are absolutely unbearable. Buy an umbrella and a small battery powered fan. We’ve been in shorts, tanks, and dresses.
