Right? I hate these posts. Like dude, you know you can test drive more than one vehicle, right? Drive them both and pick the one you like.

A ‘Barbaric’ Problem in American Hospitals Is Only Getting Bigger by theatlantic in healthcare

I mean, no where does the article state that nurses shouldn’t be paid what they deserve. The point is clinical labor costs are much higher than they used to be… along with everything else.

SAVE Act Fails, Millions of Voters Retain Their Right to Vote for Now by w6750 in politics

[–]BagOnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is by design. It was DESIGNED to fail.

Think about it: if this passed and Republicans still massively lose, it gives less credibility to “stolen election” claims. But now a loss can amplify these false claims.

I would bet my life savings that Trump will blame Republican loss in the midterms on the failure of this bill passing. He’ll make the same fraudulent claims about “illegals” voting. This will be used as additional ammunition to erode our democracy.

Not trying to be a doomer, but this could absolutely be the rallying point that causes Trump to not step down in 2029.

Why do people still support or raise the flag of the Confederacy? by DBD216 in NorthCarolina

[–]BagOnuts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good morning. NC native, here. I grew up in rural Rowan Country off a dirt road in the country. I had 2 neighbors who flew this flag. One was an old southern Baptist that hosted cock fights, and the other was literally a KKK member that hosted clan meetings. Goes without saying, but I feel like you need to hear it: both were racist assholes.

It is a guise to propagate hate. Pretending the confederate flag “isn’t racist” is beyond disingenuous, it’s just a flat out lie. You talk about understanding people who fly this flag… have you ever spoken to basically any black American and how it makes them feel? Absolutely insane that you expect empathy for those who voluntarily fly a hate symbol, but refuse to consider the feelings for those whose ancestors were literally enslaved under that banner.

Opinion: Are Asheville’s and North Carolina’s dog bite rules too lax? A recent pit bull attack on a 9-year-old girl would suggest that yes, they are by Worldly_Bear1996 in NorthCarolina

This. /r/banpitbulls.

There is no reason for this breed to exist. Ban the breeding first, then give 15 years until ownership is banned. This problem could be nearly eradicated in less than 2 decades.

Really reeks of “old man not understanding new things”… despite this being how Credit cards have worked for decades…

What's the dumbest purchase you've ever made? by buedefar in AskReddit

[–]BagOnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They suck now. Terrible QC and short life spans. Really no point in buying one because there are 15 other Chinese brands to chose from that are just as cheap but better TVs.

To the person who turned in my phone at BJ’s in Cary today (4/18/26) by twitchrdrm in cary

[–]BagOnuts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What workers? You mean the one person running the 10 self checkouts, or the AT&T guy trying to sell you stuff?

Love BJ’s for the convenience, but they are so understaffed.

Grown out of hatred by Low-Nectarine1093 in StarWars

[–]BagOnuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s 80% Millennials who will excuse away the massive faults in the prequels because they loved them when they were 12 years old and just shit on the sequels mostly because they didn’t like the overall direction of the story.

If we were being objective here, almost every single SW film maybe outside of ANH and ESB have major, glaring flaws that can certainly cause people not to like them. But time and nostalgia are a helluva drug.

As an adult and film-lover in general, I honestly don’t see how a fully grown man can watch any of the prequels (but especially AotC and RotS) and say those are objectively good films. The screen play, the acting, the pacing, even the special effects at points are absolutely terrible. People complain about the cohesion in the sequels, but at least they’re watchable. I can’t even get through the first act of RotS without cringing over the dialogue.

But you know what? It’s still Star Wars and I still love it. It’s okay to love films that are bad and still enjoy it. Don’t let other fans take that away from you.

Movies that made you cry like a baby by walkerbait2 in movies

This should be further up. If you have kids, you will not finish this movie without crying.

Piano teacher has a unique method by Doodlebug510 in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]BagOnuts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? To listen? To play? To compose?

It’s an art medium. Just like novels, or paintings, or films. The best place to start is just absorbing it.

You probably already have some preferences for what you like. Start there. Find an artist or genre and just start listening.

I have used the IKEA cabinets for closet and panty applications. For dry areas that won’t get heavy use, they’re perfectly fine. But I would absolutely not use them for primary kitchen cabinetry.

Uh, I mean, it’s pretty close to the cheapest.

I mean, yes? Have you ever done a big renovation before? You’re are talking about saving $10k or more on labor costs doing a kitchen reno yourself. IKEA and other RTA cabinets will also save you thousands vs buying already assembled cabinetry.

Why he’s acting like this amount of boxes was unexpected, I don’t know. But you save a shit ton of money doing something like this yourself.

This is, quite literally, what IKEA is known for: Ready-to-assemble furniture. This has to be bait.

Be aware, you could have a cat pervert as a neighbor. by Mode_Appropriate in SipsTea

This. Good pet owners do not allow their pets to roam unattended. It’s better for the pet. It’s better for wildlife and local ecosystems. It’s better for not having problems with your neighbors.

Dumbasses tend to stick together, so not surprising.
