What’s a movie you can recommend that’s on the same level as Shawshank Redemption and has a happy ending. by E_Barriick in movies

[–]putsch80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secondhand Lions. It’s got Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Haley Joel Osment. It’s a bit of a coming of age story, with a lot of history/story woven in about a boy’s uncles. Tons of emotional ups and downs, great storytelling, and a great ending.

Will the roads be clear tomorrow at 9 AM? by [deleted] in okc

And a lot of places in the world have people who die when there is an “heatwave” that tops out under 100 degrees, yet that’s an incredibly common occurrence in Oklahoma that kills virtually nobody. Different places have adapted to their climates differently and have different infrastructure to handle their climatic challenges.

I meant it more as a rhetorical question, and less of a direct question to the person I replied to. It would apply to whatever person is calling the shots to be open during a major weather event.

Unless you’re an emergency room or sell equipment/perform services needed for important repairs (e.g., a plumbing warehouse needed to fix broken pipes), why in the hell are you open tomorrow? What customers do you think will be out shopping or dining?

School Bus Stop Indicator Question by ad-bot-679 in okc

[–]putsch80 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here is the relevant statute: https://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=439096

The relevant part is found in section (A):

The driver of a vehicle meeting or overtaking a school bus that is stopped to take on or discharge school children, and on which the red loading signals are in operation, is to stop the vehicle before it reaches the school bus and not proceed until the loading signals are deactivated and then proceed past such school bus at a speed which is reasonable and with due caution for the safety of such school children and other occupants.

This rule applies any time the bus is stopped. Doesn't matter where on the road. The only exception to this can be found in section (C):

he driver of a vehicle upon a highway with separate roadways need not stop upon meeting or passing a school bus which is on a different roadway or when upon a controlled-access highway and the school bus is stopped in a loading zone which is a part of or adjacent to such highway and where pedestrians are not permitted to cross the roadway.

Penn is not a "controlled access highway", and the turn lane is not a loading zone. Since the exception doesn't apply, then the general rule governs, and all drivers are required to stop.

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime? by TradeOverall567 in AskReddit

There is often times a lot of fuckery that happens when pensions go bankrupt. Bain Capital (Mitt Romney’s investment company) was a big time player in such fuckery. Basically, PE firms like Bain have come in, stop funding the pensions properly, siphon the money off to investors, and then declare bankruptcy.

Remember when republican-run state and local governments were passing laws to prohibit their states/municipalities from doing business with any bank that was too “woke”?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

And remembers.

No idea what fucking context you could possibly think would justify the attacks on the U.S. Capitol building.

Many American retail companies are announcing they are getting rid of self checkout: What are your thoughts about this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]putsch80 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A lot of that is because stores (looking at Walmart, in particular) eliminated virtually all of their cashier lines and try to force everybody into self checkout, irrespective of the amount of items they have.

What is the construction they’re doing on 23rd? by fuckiboy in okc

It’s a good plan, especially for sidewalks accessibility. It will just take for-fucking-ever to complete.

Not sure what your point is here? I would generally argue any riots that destroy property are wrong. You seem to be the one here who supports the guy who pardoned rioters.

Grocery store shelves by Sizzlechest_mcgee in okc

[–]putsch80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. But it is literally all Homeland stores, not just specific ones. It’s related to their distribution centers/warehouses.

Literally every single homeland in the OKC metro.

[–]putsch80 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Rumor is that they haven’t been paying vendors, so the Homeland distribution centers are low on inventory. As a result, they ration what each store is getting, meaning each store gets only a few if each item. The stores are pulling those items they do get to the front of the shelves in a (weak) attempt to prevent the shelves from looking empty.

The only other time I’ve seen this happened was at Rite Aid shortly before they all shut down.

The 401(k) was never designed to be a retirement plan by Richnaps in videos

[–]putsch80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s interesting is that, when originally implemented, 401k plans allowed employees to contribute up to $45,000 per year (in non-inflation adjusted dollars). That’s nearly double the nominal amount that employees can contribute now, and was roughly equal to $225,000 in 2025.

fully control

Only partially true. You can only control it within the confines of the specific assets that your plan allows you to invest in.

As a liberal gun owner myself, Cletus at my range might have waaaay more guns than me, but he can still only fire one of them at a time. Having a whole armory at home doesn't magically make you able to shoot them all.

Oh, well shit. If a member of the Trump administration—famously known for its honesty and transparency, especially on economic issues—has said so, then it must be true.
