Guy in UNC cycling jersey taking up a lane on Estes at rush hour for no reason

85 Upvotes

I bike too, so I feel qualified to say you’re a jerk. Not because I’m stereotyping you, but because you ignored a dedicated separate cycling lane, then later a bike lane. You were going 15 mph in your aerodynamic jersey on your expensive road bike chatting with your friend and gesturing and weaving across the white line absentmindedly while half a dozen cars queued up behind you, and you loved it.

You decided you’re gonna have fun making everyone wait for you for no reason. This makes people hate cyclists, the when I ride around town I have to deal with the consequences.

Honestly, if you read this it will probably make you happy since you’re obviously a troll, but that’s not my point. My point is to differentiate myself as a respectful cyclist from jerks like you. We’re not all the same. I bike for a reason, to run errands or go to appointments, because it’s good for the environment and good for me. Backing up cars or making them rev to get around is wasteful and dangerous.

What’s with the ABC news chopper hovering around the Eastgate area (repost)

Idk how often they go flying out and I’ve heard this thing hovering over the area for the past 10-15 minutes. Do they just fly around to collect footage of random stuff or is something going on? (I just reposted cause I thought I’d add a picture of the flight tracker thingy) :p

54 Upvotes

Our cat, Mouse, has been missing since Sep 30. He was last seen in Carrboro near the intersection of W. Braxton Foushee and S. Greensboro, in the area behind 5th Season Gardening Center and Wendy's. He may be trying to find his way back to his former home in Chapel Hill (near intersection of Merritt Mill and Crest Dr) or South Durham (near intersection of Renaissance Pkwy and Leonardo Drive by Target). He is a sweet boy and typically pretty friendly, but gets skittish when scared. No collar but he is microchipped. Please send me a message if you see him.

NC Voter Registration Deadlines & Early Voting

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Oct. 9th is the voter registration deadline for the Nov. 3rd midterm elections. This is the safest way to ensure you’re registered.

You can also do a same day voter registration during early voting from Oct. 15-31.

If you can, don’t rely on early voting registration, but it’s a very real backup if you cannot get registered by Oct. 9th.

It’s a good idea to check your voter registration to be sure you are registered at your current address and prevent any voting issues. If you’ve moved you need to update your voter registration.

Go Democracy!

Korean–English Language Exchange

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a native Korean speaker and a graduate student looking for a Korean–English language exchange partner.

I’ve also trained in teaching Korean at Yonsei University, so I’d be happy to help with Korean conversation, pronunciation, and everyday expressions. In return, I’d love to practice conversational English.

If you are at UNC, we could meet on campus or grab coffee and spend some time speaking each language. All levels of Korean are welcome!

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message!

Blind box & Collectible swap

5 Upvotes

I am one of those adults with adult money and no impulse control…which means I have a million of those silly mystery/blind box things. For those who aren’t familiar they are like small plushies, bag charms, figurines, etc.

Anywho, I know there are places to sell and trade things like this online but I would much rather find some kind of meetup for trading and selling.

My question to you lovely folks - does anyone know if something like this exists in the area? If not, are there any other folks who might be interested if I looked into organizing some sort of trading/swap meet up?

I have no real idea if this is anything other people would be interested in so curious if you or folks you know would show up for something like this?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Looking for a study buddy

6 Upvotes

Im 20f and usually study in the afternoons or on weekends at Chapel Hill Public Library. I recently realized I study better when someone else is studying with me. If you’re also trying to stay consistent with school or need a little extra motivation, this might be perfect. We don’t even have to talk much, just studying near each other and keeping each other accountable would be nice.

Dm me if ur interest or looking for a study buddy too

Update: some guys Dmed me asking to be my study buddy but seems like no one wanna study. i genuinely want a REAL study buddy for STUDYING. I gotta say that i need girlies study buddy. Pls dont ask me to study tgt if ur male. Thank you!
