Yeah, typically if I go into a place and discover that it employees fascist cult members I wouldn’t give them my money again, and I would be glad to know places that do so so I can avoid them when possible and feasible.

If a shop had a whites only sign out front, I wouldn’t give them any money, and if they had a Q flag out front, I wouldn’t give them any money. Why this is difficult for some people to understand, might say more about them than the behavior of people wanting to avoid these establishments

Posts like these are good for letting idiots out themselves. Q cultists are a weird bunch

Oh wow you really believe in that shit huh

What did Dumas think about adrenochrome though?

Oh, are they all QAnon also?

Others below have good responses. I do not think at all it was overcharging here though, they were going for fairly light stuff vs what was potentially on the table (attempted murder or something of that variety).

You seem like a cheerful and fun person.

The irony of telling out of staters to go elsewhere considering who the land we live on actually belonged to.

When are you giving your property to the Narragansett tribe?

lol

​

idea, the only way to get it to go away is to use a blinker. It'll stay in place for years.

The logic is that only the police should be able to use force and you must be dependent upon them for your safety.

​

As to "why" that is the logic behind these rulings is an exercise for the reader.

hear hear

The gun "clubs" require an NRA membership and usually a panel of whatever 65+ yr old boomers are members to decide if you are a "good fit" for the club after some probationary service period. This seemed pretty standard across the 5-6 diff clubs I looked into initially.

Having shot at several of the clubs during some pistol league competitions, I was not optimistic that someone openly gay/trans/ not white would have an easy time getting membership (totally an assumption, possibly an unfair one). Combine that with having to be an NRA member to enroll and I didn't bother.

Indoor ranges (not gun clubs) around the state don't force you to have an NRA membership. There is also the Great Swamp Range in S. Kingston area that is free, but its only open from April to late October. You have to submit some paperwork that is a bit slow so definitely get in there. It's a very nice outdoor range and often not crowded at all.

Shoulda been higher imo.

Text and change your hair color at a barbershop dont text and walk towards a car

Did you read the article?

Seems dumb to not share a recipe.

The overlap of pro camera folks with the “if you don’t do anything wrong you don’t have to worry about the cops” is pretty high.

Camera systems are there because they earn money and it wouldn’t be surprising that someone in the pipeline that approved and purchased them is getting a nice kickback over it as well.

Might be too much for them right now but any of the vape pens with a pure Indica. I like them over the gummies because they hit far faster and more reliably so you can take a quick inhale and lie down and you'll feel it in 5-10 mins and feel great falling asleep shortly after.

That said they are strong so if its someone totally new to THC it will be a bit much. If they are a lightweight but know what to expect you can get used to it pretty fast using it before bed. This was basically me, total pot lightweight, never could enjoy it until I could get ahold of a consistently dosed product to take in exactly as much as I wanted.

Ughhh yes “keep Richmond rural / say no to solar” everywhere. Classic nimby shitlib nonsense imo. Vote down renewable local generation then cry when the power grid is still 90% dependent on gas. Thanks guys. (Not cool with razing forests for solar arrays tho, but using brown fields should be a given)

FWIW we have oil heat with a wood stove backup. The solar was still worth it. Basically the monthly finance cost for 7 years to pay off the array is the same as our average monthly electric bill was pre rate hike. With the array lifetime of 25-30 yrs and add the 30% Fed tax credit to the installation cost and it’s a no brainer especially if you can time it with when you need a roof replacement. That is if your tree removal gives you enough light exposure.

Ok you’re clearly just reading what you want to

This is literally the opposite of the argument I have made, not sure how you are so mixed up on this. Please try reading again without assuming I am speaking against collective action in any way (because holy shit am I not). As someone who donates an unhealthy amount of money to strike funds I am trying not to laugh ere.

I said people are poisoned against it because look at OP getting like -14 votes on just asking if collective action would be possible / a solution. As someone who has participated in strikes and protests numerous times the amount of vile rhetoric around them is eye opening, especially considering how often they are used elsewhere to good effect.

You yourself laid out your opinion of a realistic outcome which included "not many would participate" and "RIE would see non-debilitating loss of revenue".

​

I would love for it to happen, collective action is utilized far far too little in the USA because people are generally poisoned against it / too passive in regard to the status quo. I lay out that its not likely but just as you said for yourself, that does not mean either of us dont want it to occur.

I don't disagree overall, but want to note that collective action is performed far far more often (for even lesser reasons) outside of the USA often to good result. I gave France as an example because they are particularly aggressive with it. It does absolutely get results but you need enough people to buy in. Americans by and large are too pacified (for lack of a better term).

​

Love the pun btw.

Are you even reading my posts? The one at the top of this chain where I am arguing for collective action?

​

Instead you focus on the "power cut off" content, who gives a shit if its cut off now mid winter (thankfully not an option) or when its warmer. That's irrelevant to whether or not RIE would be impacted by enough people deciding at once not to pay.

Yes it is a calculated risk, what other pressure can be provided to facilitate change? Elections haven't done so, regulations haven't prevented it. When it gets to the extent that enough people can barely afford the service anyway then the likelihood of it happening increases.
