My point is that social media is to blame for much of teenage anxiety and poor MH. From body image issues to the loneliness kids can feel when they see false projections of what social life looks like. DOH isn’t going to solve that.

I’m open to the argument; however, the change in kinetic energy involved in a crash when someone is speeding is going to be more important than their lane position.
I’m making an assumption that the sort of person who comes on to Reddit and to complain about left lane camping is the same sort of person who will drive 90mph and tailgate someone going 75 who is still passing people to their right. My assumption might be wrong, but the tendency of drivers in the US to treat the road like they’re playing Need for Speed contributes to high severity crashes more than grandma going the speed limit in the left lane.

This will do more for "gun violence" I'm this state than any of the bans the legislature passed last year and is looking to pass this year.

On main st, at the entrance to the city hall, is a plaque commemorating Abraham Lincoln speaking there on his campaign in 1860, just as he was blowing up. Lincoln has no beard on the plaque, I love it so much.
Nearby at the train station is a statue of the dog Hachi. The Richard Gere movie about a dog who waits for his owner was filmed here. I love it so much.
At Precious Blood cemetery, corner of Rathbun and Diamond Hill, is the grave of Little Rose. She was a lady who was bedridden her whole life and developed stigmata on her palms and forehead. There’s a museum in town but its only open like once a month. The grave has pamphlets in English and Spanish though. From the secondary entrance on Rathbun, her grave is on the corner in front and right of you. I love seeing church groups praying at it, I love it so much.
Gosh, I love Woonsocket so much.

Just because our state/country selectively enforces specific laws doesn't give them any more moral authority.
Pot used to be a crime, now it's legal. Just because authorities up the penalties doesn't make something intrinsically worse, it just means the people in positions of power don't like it or have other motivations to penalize it.
Arguably, camping is a worse offense.
In Germany, which has better drivers, drivers education and license regulations, camping IS a worse offense, especially when there is no speed limit.

Sure people like you and I can and are willing to do what needs to be done for the better of all but most don’t. Most only care about themselves and that’s why it will never work and also the reason things are the way they are today.

Not a lot of herbivore options in Woonsocket. On the way to Woonsocket is Blackie’s in Smithfield, and they have a very diverse menu and vegan options that a lot of people love. Just throwing that out there.
Lops is a nice brewery.
Christopher’s and Ciro’s are good restaurants, but not sure how many herbivore options there are there. River View is typical unseasoned “American” food. Woonsocket is known for their French meat pies, dynamites (a spin on hot weiners) and Kay’s Restaurant (meat sandwiches) so not a lot there for options for you. Krakow Deli is a great Polish bakery, but mostly meat items. Not pointing that out to be rude, just laying out the field for you :)
Assuming you do not eat dairy, but if you do, Wright’s Dairy Farm on Woonsocket Hill Road in North Smithfield (just a few minutes from city limits) is known regionally for their pastry as well as their milk.
For things to do, Stadium Theatre is nice, as well as the Museum of Work and Culture. Millrace
St Ann Arts and Cultural Center has the largest collection of fresco paintings in North America, but tours are only on Sundays. :(

You could check out Krakow deli, great selection of Polish food and snacks then head over to Blackstone river park. Amazing place to walk and enjoy nature.
