Thank you for the input. I appreciate it.

Makes sense. New to the northeast so I’ll have to adjust.

I’ll check Pawtucket out. Thank you.

Thank you! I’ll expand.

Thank you!!

Not always, last time I had to restart service under a new account since it was an online only price.

@notsecondlife on Instagram is somewhat of a reincarnation.

Also worth trying the List Arts building at Brown. Public access to the building during business hours and some semesters they have signs advertising a date by which projects and materials must be removed. After that but before it actually happens is a great time

Looks like the kids thinking they were playing GTA found out you didn’t magically appear outside of the hospital like in Vice City.

I feel like the type of people who would do this aren't exactly the type of people you'd want to be watching anyway lol

I will never understand why anyone who needs to find housing via a rental lease agreement would have a dog, never mind a pit bull. Then complain about it online that they can’t find housing. It’s not shocking, everybody and their mother knows this by now! Should’ve thought this through before getting a pit bull, because you will have an EXTREMELY difficult time finding anyone to accept you… unless you make 6 figures, have perfect credit, and can afford $3k-$4k in rent at a luxury building.

There's not nearly as much fun in that. Part of the appeal is that it's dangerous outlaw tough guy stuff.

I'm an adult and there's guys in every group who push the limits and do dumb shit on an otherwise legal ride. Speeding and wheelies and weaving

Let em do it in the dirt and make them wear all the gear and do badass outlaw stuff somewhere there's no civilians and an ambulance nearby

It couldn't hurt

I'm really passionate about this idea because this 100% could have been me and will probably be my kids if I don't give them an outlet

I have a shitty beater bike I let the kids at work learn on in the parking lot at work. I bet all of them go and do something retarded when they get their own bike, have a bad accident like all of us do, and then get a full dresser old man bike when it's out of their system

To start, you're probably going to have to widen your geographic radius beyond Providence. I know people who have and have had pit bulls, but they've always made renting a tough proposition. Add that into a rental market where prospective tenants outnumber available apartments and it's way too much of an uphill battle.

Does the LL know they have a pitbull or even a dog? I knew people who had two pitbulls there (fox point), but the landlord was just absentee (it was pet free) and from my experience I'd be willing to guess half of those large breed dogs you're spotting aren't approved on the lease. Same thing my partner experienced renting in Brookline: everyone had a dog because management just cashed checks and let the building fall into disrepair lol.

Agreed, though, its a property insurance and liability issue for many owners to take on.

edit: not advocating lying what-so-ever. Neither of us has ever had a pet, it was just an open secret that others in the building were not approved since it was strictly against the lease

Even a program where you can ride them on streets with certain safety gear and obeying traffic laws and what not would help too. Enforcement based approaches will only go so far and we've already seen it backfire multiple times.

There’s an article referenced above with a list of the different times people have ran into trouble with them. They don’t do it where I live but I don’t like to see innocent people get hurt by criminals without any defense.

Is there some country that young men don't do stupid, dangerous shit because an adrenaline rush feels good and their underdeveloped minds know they're invincible?

We are one of the few states without any outlet of this type whatsoever.

The guys getting hurt riding are the same guys getting rescued when they dump personal water craft like sea doos. If they had money theyd be sky diving. If they felt particularly patriotic they'd be marines.

This is a common thread among young people and men in particular and they need an outlet for it. If there's not a safe way to chase this feeling they'll do it in unsafe ways, just like everywhere in the world since the beginning of humanity

If not riding then climbing, or surfing, or the service, or fighting, or football, or drugs, or skiing, or banging.

The difference is the dangerous shit white kids do is OK but the dangerous shit black kids do is terrible. If you're white you go to yawgoo if you're brown you ride the streets.

...because Fuck Verizon why? What seems to be the issue you are having with them? Cox is no better in terms of billing, in terms of reliability Verizon is much more reliable simply based on how a Fiber Network works. Cox is very unreliable and subject to many issues that can affect speed. In the 15+ years I have had FIOS I have never had an outage more than an hour or so. Friends that had Cox in the area were constantly having issues with the service.

The price is about the same for asymetrical speeds with Cox. Switching will also require a number of equipment changes.

Or threaten to cancel and they’ll probably cut you a deal lol

It’s been a long while since I went through RISD move out trash (2006-ish) but I’m pretty sure late May. (Maybe do a google for when graduation ceremonies are…) I remember I got a dozen + artBins one year, two Wacom tablets and all the charcoals/drawing pencils/pastels I needed for several years.

I know that many students will keep their supplies but anyone international (and many on the west coast) likely won’t be taking anything large back with them.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about! We don't have a mx track or anything for young men living in a difficult time who are looking for a dopamine and adrenaline rush

It's not like you'll ever stop young men from doing dangerous stupid shit so maybe we don't have to be the only state where you can't do a little off roading on a bike

If there was a place where you could ride but HAD to wear a helmet and back armor then fewer people would be hurt and killed. Including the people who catch an ass whooping because they happened to be driving their car near these kids

There's no downside and it's stupid that it's not available
