Reply to comment by RarebitRabbit in Reptile vets in RI? by SalivatingMoron

Yeah they do good work, they managed to help my sick gecko a lot (he still died sadly), and they gave me meds and feeding stuff and all that to help with caring for him. However, they charged 300 dollars for that, so go there if you have plenty of money.

Reply to Reptile vets in RI? by SalivatingMoron

Someone commented in this post with a good resource.

I see Dr. Spelman (she’s the exotics vet at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists) and think she’s great, but I don’t see her for reptiles. Also, OSVS isn’t particularly cheap.

Reply to Moving: RI vs MA? by nines99

If you get a good paying job in RI, then there is no need to live in MA. There are tons of Rhode Islanders who work in Boston (including my spouse) and wish they could work in RI but the pay is too low. Towns like Foster or Coventry may appeal to you and are a short commute from Providence. Tax wise it is simpler to fill out one state form than two...and you do end up paying more with two because the credit is not enough.

We have better security at the Warwick mall than some schools. I vote to homeschool. The factory style school system of the 1800’s is not made to create bright creative adults. It is designed to create complacency and predictability and instill that in adults.

Lastly, 77% of all mass shootings used firearms that were purchased legally. Not gangs, not illegal firearms.

Only thing I can find is “2/3 of all mass shootings are linked to domestic violence.” With that being said, I think that eliminates the 95% at the minimum.

Fuck? No, I do clearly understand the definition of mass shootings, and I still stand by what I said. As far as them shooting at groups of people, don’t act like any of them have great aim, they shoot way more shots than they catching bodies. Gangs usually find a person out of territory, or it’s a targeted hit, whatever it is, but I hear less “mass gang death shootouts” than I do other mass shootings. I bet most of these mass shootings are actually school shootings, churches, supermarkets, movie theaters, college campus, military base, etc, wherever, I think they’re more lone wolf style in public places, not gang related. That’s all I’m saying, and until I see numbers, that’s my opinion. I respected yours, I just disagree with it. Now, do you get it?

You sound like a very attentive and caring parent. Which is fantastic. I don't know the details of your life, but based on your comment, your privilege is showing. You can clearly afford to do this. You are in fact the exception not the rule. Like my previous comment up top, I'd recommend exploring r/HomeschoolRecovery.

I dont know how to say it more clearly but you still don't seem to get it. "Mass shootings" are calculated by there being multiple victims. A lot of gang-related shootings are groups of people shooting at other groups of people, HENCE THEY ARE CALCULATED AS MASS SHOOTINGS.
