Turned out that poll worker was my own mother. I purposely didn’t ask anything to keep things formal, and when I walked in there she was. (I did thank everyone there, and wished them luck)

Matunuck Surf Shop will easily get you connected to the local crowd. Really great staff. There are a lot of lifelong surfers that wander in and out of that place.

Yo waddup! My oven heats the apartment well. Lol

I’m not sure where you got that from, lazy dictionary, but I did find info regarding a “double bubbler” fountain from WWI and how people came to call water fountains “bubblers” because of it. Maybe it’s a blend of the two? Some people had already called it that, and some came to call it that after the dual-stream water fountain.

I have horrible allergies all year long. That being said I know when not to go to a bar. If I’m actually sick I’m not going anywhere. Let alone a bar. Some people are just selfish, and miserable.

Now, if you’re judging solely on coughing, clearing throats, or having an irritated nose then you’re cutting out a large portion of the population like me, or even worse, those with breathing disorders.

Wait…I had no idea this was a proprietary eponym situation! I love those. Thank you.

They likely don’t know. They’re just in their feelings right now, and not happy that people disagree with them.

This actually helped a lot. I had a very vague understanding heading into voting. Now I have a much firmer grasp.

“School systems” as a broad brush is a good topic to bring up, but to act like every individual school system is terrible, or failing isn’t accurate. Where I attended school they’ve been upper-tier for more than a decade. Same for some of the neighboring towns. I think the ones that are failing their children are doing so rather drastically, but that doesn’t lower the successful systems with them.

The old joke about politicians being required to wear their special interest group logos as patches like NASCAR drivers comes to mind. Your point here is solid. They’ll never allow it because then the money becomes far too obvious to us the voters.

I have not, but my wife has. Which is odd because she was usually the one that hardly ever gave her number out to any regards programs, or even outreach programs.

Confirmed: actual cult zealot.

Hardly. I pointed out that downvotes aren’t part of some Pro-Democratic Conspiracy, but just people looking at something that they disagree with. Tough distinction for y’all apparently.

Again, ignorant blanket statements against people that you consider “other”. You’ve been unable to do anything here except sound like a petulant child that doesn’t like when people disagree with them. It’s tough I know, but we all exist in a world of nuance. Welcome.

You get downvoted because people disagree with you. If someone disagrees stronger than a quick downvote then they comment. So yes, you’re wrong. Much like how I’ve demonstrated here.

Ah, yes. Ignorant blanket statements. So helpful.

I’m also curious about this. In addition: OP references that they’re young, but they also aren’t impressed by politics in RI for the last 20 years. Just curious about it all.

It’s kinda funny to me when people believe some of the things Kalus promises while admiring DeSantis et al. Could she possibly shock us all and actually follow through on her promises? Yeah. Technically that could happen. It’s just not likely to happen at all.

I believe this because she has a commercial where she proudly beats her kid up with boxing gloves.
