Oh sure, I certainly understand that concern. "Acting creepy" and actually being a pedophile are two different things. To go from the accusations shared to not being any criminally proven activity is quite a stretch.

Is possible the person is weird or is on the spectrum. Or, could possibly be a pervert. Point is though, we don't have that proof and is unfair with the information given to make the assumption of guilt.

You don’t get arrested when you get a traffic ticket.

"Kids lie" would you say that if your daughter came to you and said someone was acting creepy around I don't know if you're a good father but I would tear someone in half for fucking with my kid

So, your answer is no. You're a guilty until proven innocent kind of guy.... or just guilty by mob. Got it.

Also, kids lie. Or can be wrong. Or be spiteful.

If you were only in the airport, you were never in Providence.

You were in Warwick.

How about we blame you instead?

Do cops in RI arrest anyone?

The kids tracked his creepy actions for me that's enough especially when other people here can corroborate the fact that he was a creepy guy

Which would make them a more expensive option. Which would make them less competitive in the market and open an opportunity for another company that could haul trash more cleanly and this more cheaply.

Bad faith? Are those italics supposed to be my words?

> It's not airborne or in water droplets! It's in small droplets of water that are airborne!

I never said it wasn’t airborne. I said that surgical masks aren’t meant to protect against aerosols. (Ironic that you say I’m arguing in bad faith while you falsely imply I hold positions that I do not.)

Would you do asbestos remediation with a surgical mask? Surely not. (Asbestos particles span both droplet and aerosol sizes.) You would select an appropriate respirator for the job.

A proper respirator seals around your nose and mouth to prevent the aerosols from coming in. An N95 can do that reasonably well for viruses when proper fit is achieved. A surgical mask can’t because they are not designed to seal. They’re designed to capture spittle droplets from the wearer.

Lol

I just saw the headline and chuckled, because RI has almost no new homes, part of the thing driving up prices.

But the same is true of Chicago and Cleveland, and yet plenty of affordable housing exists in those places.

Why? Because people are moving here in droves, but not to Chicago or Cleveland.

RI definitely needs to build more homes. Providence mayor Smiley made that a centerpiece of his campaign. The reason we need more homes built? Demand. The reason there’s demand? People want to live here.

And maybe you are right.

Money Magazine sees it differently:

Isaksen Solar was started by two former Tesla employees. They were very professional.

Yeah this happens all the time. It’s why the streets are flooded with nips. People don’t want them in there car if they get pulled over.

Again, it is a reliable source. Most projections are made from data of market participants, and unless you’re arguing that UVL is committing financial fraud, their trends data is valid.

The only way your narrative would make sense is if UVL is an outlier and every other hauling line has seen a collapse of 90% or more, which is highly unlikely.

The data is also substantiated by looking all around us. Regions that are in severe decline like Detroit, Toledo or Cleveland don’t have $500K 1,200 sq foot houses, new condo projects going up, demand for more building permits, construction of new schools, gentrification of old neighborhoods in decline, etc.

Our version of Toledo, Pawtucket, is booming.

One of the charming and annoying things about this state is its inability to accept change, and this data shows clear changes in the trajectory of the state.

Some People really just don't care about their towns/ communities. It's gross. Theres trash cans literally every store, park, etc. Keep it in your car and throw it out when you stop.

Is that what I'm doing?

What about innocent until proven guilty?

And the next census may prove that but this data from United Van Lines is not a reliable source.

Swan Point is one of the most beautiful spots in the state, if you like graveyards.

You’re ignoring all the businesses in and around Boston in health care, where WFH isn’t an option. You’re also ignoring the continued influx of people into greater Boston, which our entire state is basically part of now.

I just snarfed Diet Coke 🤣

It's not airborne or in water droplets! It's in small droplets of water that are airborne!

I will not reconsider calling out bad faith arguments and cherry picking wherever I see it. If that means calling people like you stupid, so be it.

I was thinking this the entire time I read the comment lol

SunRun. They did a great job.
