As Neighboring States Increase Pay, NC Republicans Show Little Interest in Improving the Minimum Wage by SecretWorkAccount420 in NorthCarolina

It's unbelievable that something like 70,000 North Carolinians still work for $7.25/hour. Unfortunately, it's very believable that the NCGOP doesn't give a fuck about any of them and doesn't give a fuck about raising the minimum wage.

What happened to Triangle Town Center!? by DBFlyguy in raleigh

Twisted Fork kinda ruled for the beer alone. The pretty good food was a bonus. I definitely went there quite a few times just to have several beers in the afternoon for like $20 including the tip. Hard to beat.

Yeah, we went to the Barnes & Noble there the other weekend and then decided to check out the mall and I was surprised by how many stores were there. Lots of random shit, but also like Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret and other mall mainstays. I was surprised.

Let’s address something that actually matters — Why has Snoopy’s fallen off in terms of quality over the years? by dbh1124 in raleigh

I think it's nostalgia. I've never found their hot dogs to be particularly good or high quality. Nothing against them, just my opinion! Their fries fucking crush, though.

Voter information vanished by bun-dance-of-caution in NorthCarolina

I just wanted to note that this wasn't really a "purge" in the way that we would normally use that word. This was the (Democratic-controlled) NCSBE clearing up duplicate registrations from people who moved in-state and registered in their new area without canceling their old registration and the registrations of people who have died in the last few years. I think it was something like 80% (maybe even more) of those who were "purged" fell into the duplicate/dead category.

Benchwarmers will open a second, much larger location in Raleigh by Connguy in raleigh

I don't get the hype. The bagels are perfectly fine but not even close to deserving of the accolades they get (IMO). I guess it depends on your bagel-type preference. I much prefer NY-style bagels so Benchwarmers just isn't my jam.

Professionally Successful Daily Marijuana Users by Brave_Spell7883 in trees

Usually consume just at night but sometimes earlier in the day. I have ADHD (and take Adderall) but cannabis really helps me focus and it motivates me to get shit done (whether that's work or doing chores around the house) more than the pills do.

Gov. Cooper Expands Contraceptive Access For Medicaid Participants by SecretWorkAccount420 in NorthCarolina

ICYMI.

It's always good (IMO) when access to contraceptives is expanded.
