Reply to comment by argument_sketch in Little Compton residents react to town-wide hate-filled mailer with love and solidarity by GhostOpera406
We got here from a more than two decades long campaign of misinformation that started at Fox News and then evolved into what we see today from internet echo chambers.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

" Little Compton Taxpayers Association" So funny how extremist hate groups always try to name their organization something nice and non-insane

It is, but it's also up to your company and the health insurance provider.

They were solid for a long time, but after Covid they started using cheaper ingredients and it's just not the same as it used to be.

It's made everyone segregated and even hate each other in some cases though.
I'm not sure about everything. Take masks for example. Something that got politized that had no business being portrayed that way.
I'm not sure which situation is worse. In a perfect world, we could disagree on something and come to a compromise, or find equal ground, but it's nasty out there.

That's an interesting statistic. I know that from growing up here, the rule was always, never talk about politics or religion, but I've always felt in recent years that the rule no longer applies since everything in our world is now politicized.

That's a massive issue right? The trust in our Government by it's citizens is at an extreme low. A lot of that is based off of misinformation from various media outlets, but a portion of it is based in reality. Our Goverment has done some really fucked up things over the years, and it feels like fewer and fewer people are getting into office for the right reasons.
This country can never be run properly until Citizens United is repealed. We MUST get money out of politics.

This is so true. What's really interesting is that young people are taking an interest earlier and earlier in politics and while they are all over social media defending their rights, they still do not turn out to vote. Voting is the most powerful tool that can be used to defend what they believe in.
I think it's just because they don't truly understand the impact that these people in office have in their lives. I'm 42 now, but I didn't cast my first vote until I was 26 for the same reason. As you get older, you start to realize that the decisions made in Washington and in your local Capitol building really affect your life, your future, and your wallet.

Reply to Is West Warwick that bad? by an000nymous
I mean, it's really not that bad. It's certainly not the worst town to live in here in Rhode Island, not even close. People like to rag on West Warwick a lot, because way back in the day it was the place to be, then once all of the mills shutdown it wasnt anymore.
I'd have no issues moving to West Warwick if I had to.

Reply to Verizon Fios stopped broadcasting channel 12... it maybe time to dump cable! by newengland_schmuck
You're pretty late to the dump cable revolution and honestly, you missed the boat. It was cool to dump cable 10 years ago, but now every major player has their own app with their own subscription. It's not really worth it anymore, and if you like sports, it's impossible.

Kalus seems like she's only running because she has a personal vendetta against Dan Mckee. It's weird.
That being said, as usual we're reduced to voting for two candidates that just aren't that great. Similar to when Raimondo was in office.

So why is it that I can walk into any liquor store right now and buy Swedish Fish and cotton candy vodka, and a slew of other candy flavored booze that could kill someone?
You could literally put fentanyl in anything and make it harmful.
I bet you believe people put THC in Halloween candy too lol.

Can't get them through mail order which is way way cheaper than the vape stores. It was never about "health or the kids". It's about missed tax revenue.

Reply to Esporta Vs Edge fitness in Warwick/Cranston? by dopedave
I've never been to Edge, but ESporta is a great gym. Machines are never too busy, Lot's of room, and they do a ton of classes. Separate rooms for Spin and body weight classes too. It's always clean in there, and the cardio equipment is maintained pretty well. ESporta also has a daycare right inside if you need that.

Lower income folks will get a larger credit to use for the year to help with electric bills. Someone I know who is on SSDI is getting an additional $650 for the year.
Yes, the middle class are getting screwed per usual. We make too much to get assistance, and we we make too little for it not effect our wallets.
Not sure what will happen in Spring.

No, it's for groups that are actually extremist and hateful, but it's interesting how you read my comment and instantly thought that. Sounds like you might be self conscious.
