Tirade Tuesday Tirade Tuesday! Let's Do This!

5 Upvotes

No introduction needed EXCEPT ground rules:

  1. No personal attacks - that's basic Reddiquette. Comments will be deleted and users banned.
  2. Vent, don't snipe. Go on a rant and get it all out. Comments like "Charlotte drivers suck" don't cut it; "Charlotte drivers suck because [insert 250-word diatribe here]" do. See this thread as a great example.
  3. Keep it civilized. These are our frustrations, often emotionally charged but often shared as well, so don't take a comment personally (if someone breaks Rule #1, they'll be kicked, so don't take the bait and get kicked, too).

Now let's do this!

P.S This is the TIRADE thread, where people are free to blow off steam without having to explain themselves. If you don't like someone's comment here, kindly find another thread to browse. Any comments challenging or harassing other commenters will be removed.

Discussion Have you been a victim of fake SC paper tags?

56 Upvotes

I’m not going to link it because I’m sure it’s already in here. But after reading a 6 year old girl was killed by someone with fake paper tags, i want to find other victims of fake paper tags. I was t-boned in a green light off 12th st last year by a stolen car from CLEMMONS with, you guessed it, fake SC paper tags. Oh, he got out and ran, too. So they never caught him, asked the cop if they ran prints because car thieves are usually in the system and they didn’t.

So very obviously the cops do not care, because if they did these cars would be pulled over before someone gets hurt or killed. I guess we will see if a little girl dying will enact some kind of change but I am fucking sick of this and want to see what we can do here, on Reddit because obviously this is where it *all* goes down. /rant

PS- not here to debate the any of the political bullshit that is irrelevant to the issue at hand. We need fake paper tags off the road [i]now[/i]

Discussion Sould 17 year old Lachevis Finnie be charged as an adult for the hit and run death of 6 year old Mariana Espinoza?

162 Upvotes

Is there any valid reason that Lachevis Finnie should get off lightly for excessively speeding around a stopped school bus then striking and killing Mariana Espinoza and fleeing the scene? It's my thought these actions should warrant being tried as an adult for the blatant disregard of human life.

Discussion Whats going on with the CMS bus situation?

25 Upvotes

My son’s field trip was cancelled yesterday because there were 19 drivers who called out. Today there were 17. I don’t know how big our bus driver pool is, but it severely impacted kids getting to school yesterday (some were over an hour late). I know CMS is strapped for drivers. Is everyone getting the flu, or are the drivers protesting?

Recommendation Consignment shops

9 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I have a bunch of higher-end designer clothes that I’d like to consign. I sent a lot to The RealReal but they don’t accept everything. I have also donated many items. But, I need all the help I can get in this economy.

Looking for recommendations from people who have had luck consigning, not just good places to shop. ThreadUp has begun ripping people off who sell through them, so I’d like to find one closer to home.

I was wondering and hope is okay. If anyone was interested or going to Coyote Joes this Saturday?
I would love to go but I don’t have anyone that would want to come with me. I don’t have a costume but I’ll be dressed up provocative lol and I just want to have fun. Looking for anyone that’s interested in meeting up as a group. 🙂 by the way I’m F40, any age of course that wants to meetup and have fun and be safe.

Discussion Alert: Superior Home Protection SCAM mailings

4 Upvotes

Anyone else got an official-looking “final notice” letter about a lapse in homeowner insurance from an outfit called Superior Home Protection? I immediately clocked it as a scam (they mailed it to my spouse whereas I handle the insurance, and we go through a different company), but I’m worried that others might not be so lucky.

Doing a quick web search shows that they target cities other than Charlotte, but this is the first time in my time owning a home that I’ve been hit with something this brazen!

Politics Toddler / Kids Gyms?

4 Upvotes

This is more of a Facebook mom group question, but I dont have Facebook and I'm not a Mom.

I am looking for any recommendations for activity gyms for a kids/toddlers.

Google results for this kind of suck, so I was looking to see if anyone's (adult) gym had kids classes that maybe arent pushed to the top of the search. Or even a studio that's aimed at older kids but has young programs once or twice a week?

My daughter is a super active (almost) 2.5 year old, and we are looking for something active to do with her on weekends. I'm pretty sure we have hit every playground in the CLT metro by this point so looking for something else.

We tried the little gym in Dilworth, and she liked it, but her class was a little unstructured (not the instructors fault). I get it they are young, but it was essentially an open gym regardless of what the instructor was trying to do as the parents just really no control of their kids or respect for the rest of the people there. I realize that sounds a bit harsh, but it was kind of awkward at some points how little some of these parents tried.

We did KidStrong, and my wife said she loved it, and we were bought in, until we learned it was 180 dollars a month for once a week classes, and required a commitment and 100 dollar registration fee.

It seems a lot of things start at 3-4 years old, which I get with potty training/ average attention span of anyone younger, but we are staring down the barrel of winter with a newborn and a 2.5 year old in a 1300 sq ft townhouse, so trying to see what else might be out there.

We are near uptown but can drive a bit.

As a side note, we also did the bunnyhive trial as well when she turned 2. At that point she had pretty much aged out of their program.

What happened to the Charlotte Hornets logo and benches? The court probably needed to be resurfaced, but curious on why the Hornets pulled out of the sponsorship? I thought it was a really cool spot and connection to the city.

Discussion Tesla Robotaxi causing traffic in south Charlotte

Post image
167 Upvotes

It was still on the left south bound lane on Carmel rd waiting to make U turn. North bound cars were stopped and letting it go. It seemed like the passenger/driver took control and made the u turn. There are designated U turn locations but I am not sure the algorithm knows how to navigate the middle turn lanes yet.

It was interesting to see how accommodating human drivers were to this Robotaxi while most d4ivers in Charlotte would have laid on the horns
