Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Interesting. Looks like the AT&T thing is what'll keep me furthest away from it.
I have AT&T now, but I was looking to speed up my data.

it's just more over-the-top silly pretentious tacky pretending-to-be-something-better-than-a-mall than anything else within a few hundred miles of central NC.
I know I'm a bit OT here, but I find this interesting. For myself and other non-NC types living in Sanford, that mall was a destination. We would drive 45-60 minutes to just hang out at the mall on the weekend. Mostly because we had nothing else close (tacky Fayetteville mall or super small local shops in Sanford). Also, they have a Super Target. I think if I had actually lived in Durham or Carborro, I probably would have stayed away just to make a anti-consumerism point, if nothing else, but living in the boonies, all the bright chain stores were like a siren.
Plus, that mall has family abthrooms and nursing rooms, although the Nordstrom's bathroom makes an awesome nursing room.
It should tell you something that while I did not particularly like Sanford, I would move there again in a heartbeat if it meant we could leave here.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
A bit off-topic, but I'm curious. When was the giganto mall in Durham built? (It's been 10 years since I moved up here. Wow, how time flies)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sheryl, about 5 years? Right around there, anyway. And it's really a very different feeling from the older malls in the area; more, hmm, Charlotte-ish?
And Stephanie, I totally get you. (Plus, secretly, my anti-consumerish stance is hiding the fact that I don't go there because the huge and the crowds and the shiny give me galloping panic attacks. But it sounds so much cooler to be hip and jaded!) And I'd love to have you back!

(I was going to keep talking about the mall, but it's way OT so never mind.)

So, we know Drew is buying one. Anyone else?
I'm on the fence - it's not easy to get from here, it is a bunch of money, but it's really cool and so far, the reviews all seem to be very positive.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The soonest I'll get one is in a year. I want to wait for updated devices before I dive in.
Also, it might be nice if at&t's network is upgraded in that time...
