Nah, they're not ridiculous. When I lived in Portland, OR the stores would run out of kale before a storm, no joke. That's ridiculous. Then, when the storm would happen people would just abandon their vehicles in the middle of roads, highways, etc. You'd drive around and it was just a graveyard of abandoned vehicles. That's also ridiculous. And we're not even talking snow like we get over here.

Funny, just went to look it up and see if I could find any pictures, seems they recently abandoned a bunch more vehicles again: https://www.kptv.com/2023/02/25/drivers-scramble-find-abandoned-vehicles-after-portland-storm-tow-lots-full/

I love when neo-nazis advertise for leftist orgs. They seem to host some pretty good events and they have a D&D night which is awesome.

I gotta say I actually like Luke's food. Coming from the west coast where you really don't get '80s style Chinese food anymore, it's nice to find places like that still exist around here. However, I agree that it is a bit odd how fast the food comes out. The last time we were there our entire table (4 people) was served in around 5 minutes and I was wondering how the hell they did it. There's like 200 items on that menu, are they all just sitting back there ready and waiting for someone to order?

This reminds me of the time I had Maus on my bookshelf and someone (a friend's wife) was offended by the spine which had a Swastika on it.

It's in the article as well:

> Protesters were holding banners that read, “Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism,”

It's absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that you must agree with a groups political positions otherwise you are racist, anti-Semitic, etc.

Reply to Rhode Island needs a bottle bill. Join us at the state house to advocate for a cleaner Rhode Island this Thursday at 3pm. This is 10,000 tossed nips. #rimillion-pieces by trashgirl1986

I moved here from Portland, OR. I'd never even heard of a nip until I moved here. Not sure what they do over there, if these just don't exist or there is a deposit, or what, but you don't see them littered everywhere like you do here. Instead it's heroin needles all over the place, and they have volunteers that do this with needles and post pics in the subreddit. I don't think they have kids meditating on them though.
