I'm convinced that some driver's ed programs in the state are secretly teaching that left turns have the right of way at an intersection over people going straight. I've had people honk at me - they genuinely seem to believe they are in the right.

I love their tortilla (Spanish omelette)! Used to love their shakshuka, but it's been so-so the last couple times I got it - heavy on tomato paste, low on spice. The fig goat cheese sandwich is great too. And I always get a pot of the Moroccan mint tea. Mohammed is a cool dude. The hours of operation are hilariously random. They sometimes have live music - jazz, etc. - late at night. Overall, one of my favorite spots in the city

A job is required first, for most people, to provide some stability, after which they can start pursuing education or training part-time. Doesn't sound like the OP is in the full-time undergrad group

What are you planning to comment to Boston? Be careful what you say - they can be kind of tough up there.

Now you've posted in here. Terrible strategy for avoiding a sub you have no desire to participate in

Oh no! Not colored hair! What is America coming to! Next they'll be dancing to that "Rock and Roll" music I keep hearing about and smoking the Reefer

China Mieville's new book on the Communist Manifesto is excellent, I recommend you check it out. (Seriously, if you're open to reading something that may challenge your views, check it out)

Eh, I would just call and ask them. The kids working there wouldn’t mind, and if anyone would know, it would be them. They’re very friendly. RS Peacedale is my gym, and I’m somewhat tied in (heh) to the RI climbing scene - I’m just too old to know what a discord is.

Your doctor's into the cyberpunk aesthetic? That's kind of cool

“weirdos” is the right word for them. And they’re tossing around “woke” and “SJW” in reference to the people criticizing this guy! It’s fucking bizarre

wait… can you clarify what you mean by “woke” in this context?

"Dear Feds: please infiltrate us. Contact info below"

Nothing that I know of in RI. REI in Cranston has their section of returned items for sale.

If you're ever up north, definitely stop into IME in North Conway - they have a big consignment section in the basement. Ragged Mountain Equipment, just up the road in Intervale, also has consigment stuff in their basement.

CRG Warwick: Shorter walls, less autobelays, maybe a bit more bouldering? Nicer, more modern gym overall - full modern training room with weights, moonboard, etc. Locker rooms with showers. In terms of the climbing, I think the grades at Warwick are very soft compared to Wakefield, and I think the route setting at Wakefield is better - more technical and thoughtful/ sequency, I guess? (people describe the routes there as “bouldery”, and some don’t like that)

Sachuest Point is part of the National Wildlife Refuge system - federally managed. When people on the island say The Bird Sanctuary, they mean Norman Bird Sanctuary, which is totally independent - not even part of Audubon or anything. You can see the Bird Sanctuary from 2nd Beach - that big rock/cliff thing is Hanging Rock, part of their property. They’re both beautiful areas, and very different in character - you can make a day of it and hike them both.

Tiverton: the Alabama of RI? Seriously, what a fucked up little town. I do enjoy reading about their ongoing Town Council drama in the Newport Daily News, though. Very entertaining.

Second Tea in Sahara - love that place! But part of the fun is showing up to see if he's decided to open that day or not - place has the most hilariously random hours

I want to see someone actually be honest and start with "I want to be rude, and..."

Nice

”Yngwe Palpatine” damn that was funny. I hope you all have punny Star Wars names. “Boba Fret”, “Admiral Axebar” - you can have those two for free. “Han Solo” for the lead guitarist works without alteration.

Oh no! Transplants! Transplants are what make cities cities. That's the whole deal with urbanization, throughout all of history - people move to cities "from away". If you want a place with very few transplants, small towns are where it's at.

"Hello, fellow kids!"

But, I just don't get how this sales model is supposed to work? Haven't they heard of a "hard no"? You get a hard no, you move on to the next prospect. It's a numbers game. It actually seems like it's wasting their own time to keep bothering people who aren't interested.

Tito's is pretty good. There used to be one in the airport, right?

He's probably one of those "the Nazis were actually leftists!" intellectual giants.
