My girlfriend's company has several advancement opportunities in Lake Wylie, SC which is 25 minutes from downtown Charlotte. The opportunity for her would be fantastic and we'd get an apartment for $140 a month. They would also pay for our moving expenses which would include fuel to get two cars there.

I was born and lived in the southside of Charlotte until I was 12. I remember, uhh, not much, but from what I do remember theres a shitload of traffic and megachurches.

Charlotte is a legit big city now though. Great nightlife if you're a frat guy.

Having spent a substantial amount of time in both the only difference is the prevalence of southern accents (only slightly more in the Carolinas than Indiana), color of the dirt and it actually gets cold in Indiana.

Yeah, I had a friend on Facebook literally say that even Hitler didn't use gas.

A direct quote, "Even the nazis chose not to use gas, despite its effectiveness."

I mean, I I'm pretty sure they didn't use it against active combatants, but they sure as hell used it against POWs and everybody else they wants to exterminate. They sure as hell did use gas.

The Nazis did use gas weapons, just on a limited scale. Hitler was afraid that if they used wide-scale chemical weapons, the Allies (who had much larger stockpiles) would return in kind.

As long as you're straight, white, Republican, and Christian you'll probably be fine. Just be aware that this state is full-on THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN STATES' RIGHTS retarded politically, to the extent that they just proposed a new anti same-sex marriage bill that insists the SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over marriage.

The only documented case I could find of Nazi units employing gas in the field was against Soviet soldiers holed up in a mining complex after the Soviets withdrew from Crimea.

In addition the chemical weapons of the day (more accurately, the lack of adequate and consistent protection from them) made them impractical for use with Blitzkreig tactics. Doesn't do you much good to have your artillery drop sarin or mustard gas shells, or release a few million cubic feet of chlorine gas when your own armor & mechanized infantry will be rolling through there shortly.

Under post-war interrogation Göring allegedly told the allies they didn't employ gas as a defensive weapon during the beach landings in France because the Wehrmacht was heavily dependent on horses for logistics and transportation, and they hadn't been able to develop a gas mask that horses would regularly tolerate and pass enough air for the horse to pull a cart.

For North Carolina as a whole, I'd say you're correct. However, Charlotte proper is rather progressive. There's definitely some influence from what you describe, but there's also a bunch of very smart and very good people I still keep up with that live there. The southside of Charlotte is like any upper-middle-class suburb of a major city. Plenty of progressive folk!

Rhyno, don't expect to be able to get from Lake Wylie to downtown in 25 minutes. During rush hour it's more like 1.5 hours. Enjoy Carowinds!

Yeah, but remember, as part of killing HB2 they banned localities from making any anti-discrimination measures until 2020 and gave the Legislature direct control over all matters relating to public bathrooms. Charlotte's going to have to put up with the state breathing down their neck constantly, looking for excuses to crush anything progressive.

I have been watching Iron Fist on Netlfix and it is easily the poorest of the Marvel Netflix series. It is just...bad. One review broke the glass with a single word that now it is all that stands out and makes the whole story seem so weak.

That word, is mansplaining. Typically I don't read into that kind of stuff much; but someone really should tell Danny that he just comes off as a total butthole. All the time.

So, I sat down with my boss (who is a pretty swell guy) and told him I had an opportunity. He went and got approval for a pay increase - $77,000 to $82,245 plus a third week of vacation.

I'm hoping it was smart to go see my boss and stick around this circus where at least I know what I'm doing. If not, well, I'm apparently employable for more money elsewhere.
