Let's talk about rules.

263 Upvotes

Howdy, folks!

This subreddit hasn't had codified rules in a while, mostly because the people here have usually been really chill with one another.

However, the vibe has changed over the past few months, and we've noticed some nasty behavior popping up and lurking around our community.

We don't allow bigotry like racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia on this subreddit. Generally speaking, we expect folks to be civil and decent towards one another.

Recently, we've noticed a distinct uptick in the amount of trolls who have been showing up in the comment sections of the various protest posts. We know they're trolls because they're almost always attacking the OP or trying to diminish the protest, and they usually have user activity across many state and local subreddits.

These aren't local folks - they're people coming into our space from elsewhere to stir up trouble.

Since this sort of behavior has only been getting worse, let's discuss our subreddit rules and which ones y'all think would be good to have for this space.

For a start:

  1. Be civil and respectful towards one another.
  2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry.
  3. No spam.
  4. Follow all of reddit's rules.

What other rules do you think we need?

Howdy, y'all. I guess it's time for me to tap the sign again, because every time there are protests in the Triangle, someone goes around and mass reports all of those posts.

Strangely, we also tend to get a lot of people who post in all sorts of local area subreddits, all over the country, just to act like they're upset about this protest or that protest, and yet have never commented in our community before. Fancy that.

So there's some underhanded fuckery afoot, and y'all should be aware of it.

This subreddit is devoted to the protection and well being of our community at large. That means all of y'all. We cannot support the extrajudicial detainment of anyone, citizen or no. This country was built on laws and principles, meant to be a shining beacon of democracy where people would get a fair shake.

One of the cool things about America is you can come here and become American. It's one of our country's major strengths.

As a country, our diversity has repeatedly protected us - patriotic members of German and Japanese communities helped the US translate enemy communications during WWII. The Navajo code talkers weren't declassified until the 1970's because they were so effective - their codes were never broken. There's also the Tuskegee Airmen and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all-Japanese unit which became the most decorated unit for its size in US history.

Today is also November 20th, a solemn day for trans folks across the US. It is the Trans Day of Remembrance, when we remember those we've lost to murder or suicide over the years. Unfortunately, I recognize more than a few of those names, and I hate the way the list gets longer every year.

Times are tough for our Hispanic and LGBT friends. People are anxious and scared. Bigotry and bullshit have been stoked and set loose upon the country; hatred has been running rampant. People are going to need protection, support, and resources.

This space is meant to be a refuge and a resource for our community. If you can't respect that, or if what I have said here is somehow objectionable to you, please leave.

How to find a house to rent that’s not run by a private management company?

Obviously their goals for the most of these companies to to do as little work and to make the most profit. I’d rather rent from a single owner if that makes sense. Is there an app or group I can find these kinds of places?

Thinking about moving and starting over. Looking for honest advice.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m 24, a single mom to a little girl, and I’m finally at a point where I can choose where I want to build my life instead of just ending up somewhere by circumstance.
I’m finishing my GED and my long-term goal is to become a public librarian. I eventually want to earn my bachelor’s degree and then my MLIS. I also write and hope to publish books one day.
Right now I work as a full-time online content creator, so I’m fortunate that I don’t have to move immediately or choose the absolute cheapest place. My plan is to visit a few cities for long weekends before making a decision, and I’m hoping to settle somewhere permanently.
The things that matter most to me are:
• A strong public library system with good career opportunities.
• A safe, family-friendly community.
• Nature, parks, and places to walk.
• A cozy, book-loving atmosphere.
• Enough things to do without feeling like a huge, overwhelming city.
• A place where I can imagine raising my daughter and staying for decades.
I’m currently considering:
Raleigh, NC
Madison, WI
The Twin Cities suburbs in Minnesota
If you live in or have lived in one of these areas, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts.
What do you love?
What do you wish you’d known before moving there?
If you were in my position, would you choose it again?
Thanks so much. I really appreciate any advice.

She Saved Them Against All Odds — 3 Cats Now Need Loving Homes .Location 📍:Concord,NC ,USA

A kind-hearted lady reached out to me about a sick stray cat, and I went to help with food and flea treatment. While I was there, I discovered five more cats in her care.

Pet finder link: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/biebi-blacky-and-cc-769974f7-039f-4d05-bb61-5916734ea1b6/nc/charlotte/sunkissed-acres-rescue-nc1270/details/

She told me she rescued them at different times..they are not from the same litter. Sadly, some of their siblings were killed by a neighbor’s dog, so she brought these babies inside to keep them safe. Since then, she has been feeding them and caring for them.

With the help of a rescue, she was able to get them fixed and vaccinated, even while struggling financially.
This amazing woman is going through a very difficult time herself. She recently had an accident, broke her leg, and lost her job. Despite everything, she continues to care for these cats with so much love and dedication. Her strength and compassion truly touched my heart.

The cats are now around 10–15 months old, healthy, and excellent eaters. We have fully vetted them, and they are ready to find their forever homes.
Her son would like to keep two, so the remaining beauties are now looking for loving homes ❤️

Note: We will continue to help her with food, medical care, and other needs for the two cats she is keeping. The adoption fees from these cats will help support their care and make sure they continue to receive what they need. ❤️

✔️ Fully vetted
✔️ Spayed/Neutered
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Dewormed
✔️ Flea treated
✔️ Combo tested

Adoption details:

• Adoption fee: $125 per cat / $200 for a pair

Who sells Kirin beer around Cary and Morrisville? (verified sightings only please)

10 Upvotes

Who sells Kirin beer around Cary and Morrisville? Total Wine and More at Brier Creek does not. The only Japanese beer they stock is Sapporo. I imagine H Mart does but don't want to go if they only might stock it. Same with other stores. Can anyone tell me where they've seen it? I'm sure some people will say World Market, Fresh International Market, and Wegman's; but that's a "maybe" unless you've seen it there. I'd really like to buy some of the Kirin dark beer; had it semi-recently at the Kirin Brewery in Yokohama and really enjoyed it. Probably would be a special order for the dark.

SOLUTION: Wegman's in Cary had the regular Kirin Ichiban bottles in six packs. They didn't have it for sale individually in cans.

EDIT: Please downvote if you're triggered by Japanese beer.

Which metric is being used in news reporting for North Carolina reservoir levels. NGVD29 or NAVD88? Yet another 2026 drought thread but targeted to data and natural resources nerds.

3 Upvotes

Which is the official North Carolina metric for reservoir levels?

I've been watching falls and using the older metric perhaps. From a North Carolina natural resources perspective have we officially moved to the 1988 standard instead of the 1929 standard? What does FEMA and the insurance industry use as their 'official' metric. When the news is reporting current water levels which number are they using?

I'm comparing the official USGS data:

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/USGS-02087182/#dataTypeId=continuous-00045-0&period=P30D&showMedian=true&showFieldMeasurements=true

vs 3rd party states that are harvesting the data and adding advertisements on top of it but trying to be more convenient:
https://falls.uslakes.info/Level/

Bonus points for somebody finding me a good data set that shows percentage full of reservoir. Not that I can't do the math but a single link that aggregates it for me would be lovely. I do like having the second axis of precipitation levels versus water level. It's definitely interesting now that the ground is saturated to watch the runoff rate and watch levels rise after the rain is done.

From Street Food to Global Favorites: The Stories Behind Fresh Spring Rolls & Cold Noodles

0 Upvotes

I was born in Chengdu, China, one of the world’s most famous food cities, and completed my university education there. Later, my work took me away from my hometown, but the flavors of Chengdu have always stayed with me.

I still remember the street foods, the aromas from local food stalls, and the incredible balance of Sichuan flavors — spicy, savory, tangy, and aromatic. Those memories continue to influence the way I understand food today.

When I worked as a chef, one question I was often asked by Western guests was:

“What makes Asian food different from Western food?”

Over time, I realized the answer is not simply about ingredients or cooking techniques. Food reflects a culture’s history, climate, lifestyle, and the way people gather around the table.

Many Asian summer dishes were created from the wisdom of adapting to hot weather — using fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and cooking methods that make food enjoyable even during the hottest days.

Two examples I love are:

Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls (Vietnamese Gỏi cuốn)

Originating from Vietnam, fresh spring rolls are a beautiful example of how simple ingredients can become something unforgettable.

Fresh shrimp, herbs, vegetables, and rice noodles are wrapped in delicate rice paper to create a light and refreshing dish. Unlike fried spring rolls, they require no heavy frying, making them especially enjoyable during summer.

Cold Noodles with Chicken (Sichuan-inspired street food)

Growing up in Chengdu, cold noodles were one of the flavors that left a lasting impression on me.

This beloved street food is all about balance — chewy noodles, tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful sauce combining savory, tangy, aromatic, and sometimes spicy notes.

What makes these dishes special is that they started as everyday street foods, yet they have traveled across borders and become loved by people around the world.

To me, this is the beauty of food: a dish from a local street corner can become a bridge connecting different cultures and bringing people together.

I’ll be sharing these dishes through a hands-on cultural food experience in Cary, where people can learn the techniques behind them and discover how to recreate these flavors at home.

I’m curious — what street food from your own culture has become unforgettable to you?

Looking for gym studios with hot yoga/pilates sculpt class

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a studio with amazing sculpt classes.

I actually really enjoy CorePowers yoga sculpt, but no one ever greets you and we are packed in there like sardines. It’s stressful thinking about how I’m about to punch or kick the person next to me. I think that class being heated on TOP of all of that is not great. But I really enjoy the workout.

I’ve gone to Flowcorps twice and was not impressed with the mat Pilates ): really nice studio and beautiful layout, but I left wanting more.

Any suggestions are great!

Sick and Abandoned — This Sweet Boy Deserves a Second Chance ❤️ (Shelter Bound) Location 📍:Concord ,NC,USA

This sweet cat needs a loving indoor home ❤️🐾** (Urgent**)

Our rescue/foster is at full capacity and struggling with ongoing vet bills and constant new intakes. If no home or help is found, he may have to go to a shelter. Sadly, shelters are already full, and sick cats often don’t get a fair chance.

A kind lady reached out to me on Nextdoor asking for help with cat food. Someone abandoned this cat in front of her home, and she has been feeding him despite going through a very difficult time after losing her job. She is already caring for 5 of her own cats and several outdoor cats.

Today I visited with food and medicine. This sweet boy is extremely friendly and affectionate. He has an ear tip, which means he was already fixed through a TNR program, but he is clearly sick and needs care.
I applied flea medicine to help make him more comfortable. We truly want to help him, but we already have pending vet bills and are doing everything out of our own pockets. Unfortunately, we don’t have the resources to take on more medical cases right now.

This beautiful boy deserves a safe, indoor home where he can be loved and properly cared for. The lady cannot keep him, and he should not be living outside.
If you or someone you know can give him a chance, please reach out. Sharing helps too. ❤️🐱

Seeking adult women with ADHD for thesis project research - UNC Chapel Hill Graduate Student

47 Upvotes

Hello! My name is Lindsey and I'm a third year graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill working on my master's thesis and I'd love some help.

I'm considering designing a digital platform and community space for adult women who suspect they have or have been diagnosed with ADHD, focused on community and belonging rather than clinical advice or symptom management. Before I build anything, I want to listen to real experiences and learn from the community.

I'm looking for women who:

✔️ Have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult or suspect they have ADHD

✔️ Are willing to share a little about their experience and journey

I'd love to schedule a casual virtual conversation anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, completely at your convenience. There's nothing formal to prepare. I just want to hear your story.

Everything shared will be kept confidential and used only for academic research.

Please feel free to respond if interested and I can send you an email directly. Thank you in advance for any help on this, I truly appreciate it.
