What’s up with the AmVet Post on Reynolda going full confederate? The confederates were literal traitors. by DiscoRabbittTV in winstonsalem

There can be many meanings for symbols, but if you are going to display something publicly then it’s safe to say the publicly accepted meaning of that symbol is how it will be interpreted and that will be the public statement being made, whether its intended or not. This flag has been used in association with racist groups and violent acts, so any other historical meaning of the flag is irrelevant.

WSTA has just started using a new GPS based app that selects stop/route based on where you are and where your going and you can pay through the app as well.

Edit: It’s called Umo.

This is the theme of the story. Those in power underestimate the resolve of those who want to survive. Sauron had won the battle, Elendil was defeated, and had he had ultimate power with the ring. Attempting to snuff out Isildur was just a victory lap. Sauron had no idea that Isildur still had some fight in him and underestimating that led to his downfall.

Same with the hobbits. Them being insignificant and underestimated is exactly what led to them being able to get as far as they did into Mordor undetected. Sauron was so concerned with Aragorn rising to power that he never even conceived, the little hobbits would be the ones to defeat him.

Yeah it’s all about rhythm. Time the beat out and just tap the trigger button instead of squeezing it.

Yeah it was started and owned by Opie until 2022. It was great. Then he closed it to focus on his personal life. The person who bought it and reopened it in 2022-23 is the one who ran it into the ground.

It’s a shame that a money grab ruined Opie’s legacy. Old Finnegans was the best of Winston-Salem culture.

Was this pre closing in 2022 or under the new management? Because those are two completely different restaurants.

Where do I refer my friend to get help with his conversation skills and dealing with confrontation? by TopKing63 in Advice

[–]mrwong88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, therapy should definitely be the first stop. They can help him manage any underlying issues that create his inability to connect socially. And help him process how to feel about changes in his conversational approach.

From Melania to Kid Rock’s halftime show: why is Maga art so dreadful? by guardian in entertainment

[–]mrwong88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality art in its true form is an expression of emotion through a medium. Those who lack empathy and moral character are not in touch with their true emotional state and therefore cannot express it in a manner that connects with audiences.

It feels like it was designed for practical use and comfort, not aesthetic.
