At least you admit it.

Some landlords are renting to pit/pit mix owners because I see them, and they're new / newish to the neighborhood (Fox Point). Out of 12 buildings on my street, there are two or three pitties, all owned by renters.

That said, there's like 3% available housing in the state (up from 2%). While it is not legal for a city to have breed restrictions (Pawtucket tried years ago and it was overturned), insurers can in effect ban breeds from properties they insure.

So it is insurers, and it's also simply the fact that if there are 100 applicants for every apt, what landlord wouldn't choose the applicant with perfect credit and no pets?

tl;dr: not impossible but you'd need that one landlord you could sway with perfect credit, previous landlord testimonials, and an offer to pay a substantial pet fee

RISD used to (still does?) have a yard sale. Mostly clothes, but also some odds and ends donated like drawer sets. Don't recall any art supplies themselves, but I'd give it a shot if they hold the yard sale this year.

It sucks there's nowhere for these kids to ride in RI. We used to take ours to the sand dunes. If I was 20 and living in the city I'd probably be riding the streets too

Edit

None of you people want any kind of solution, you're just glad to see another couple of dead black kids

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. "no, not rip they deserved it"

You're disgusting

Not sure how retailers became the focus of this back and forth, But first, I know more about the distributors than just about anyone other than the morans, mancinis or epstiens/rubensteins. As for the retailers, due to my intimate knowledge of the distributors, I know just about every major player in retail, and as I said, they actually don't care about this bill, some even oppose it. As for future legislation, the retailers need protecting. Keeping stop and shop etc out and defending them against the deposit/nips crap is a priority. I want to reiterate, these licenses are 100% legal and they are trying to take away these licenses that were legally obtained. No laws need to be changed for the retailers. How does self distro hurt retailers? It allows more local beer to be sold directly to them, and for better prices mind you.

This bill is about the teamsters and distributors coming for the breweries who have finally gotten to a point where they are running meaningful businesses, employing hundreds of people. They are trying to keep RI from adapting to a industry that has completely changed in the last 15 years. Basically every state has, why can't we? I don't see the breweries trying to change the amount they can sell or anything, (at least at this time) this is about selling more be TO THE RETAILERS. Honestly I think the retailers and the breweries are kinda on the same side here. Also, the teamsters are in support of the severely damaging bill for nips/bottle deposits. Retailers should be focused on that.

anywho! I am asking for this groups support in the name of craft brewers. Reach out to our reps in opposition to this bill!

I could just give you a coworkers number or a partners and you’d never be able to tell, doesn’t prove shit.

You’re a troll and no one cares, sadly for you I’m not one of those fucks that has to prove myself to an internet stranger. If you don’t know by how I wrote that I know what’s up then you’re not important enough for me to share my numbers, then you’ll have my name and based on the nature of how you deny obvious information leads me to believe you aren’t sound of in the head. Which is another reason not to dox myself. Have a great day non medic from a fake medic!!

I can't blame them, I was bitten by an unprovoked pitbull at work years ago, and my leg is deformed with scars as a result.

I'm not a paramedic lol. So are you from a national state or not? Lmao get your story straight, liar. It's not good to lie about being a public servant.

"The motorcycle was a 2023 Yamaha YZ125 and was not equipped with any headlights or emergency equipment.

"Neither Delgiudice nor Valdera were wearing helmets or had a motorcycle license. Two eyewitnesses who were also driving northbound stated the motorcycle was at a high rate of speed passing them on left illegally and driving at oncoming traffic. Witnesses also noted that the motorcycle had no lights and visibility of the motorcycle was poor."

RIP, kids.

I would go to the RISD website and look at the academic schedule. It should list last class/final crit and possibly move out dates for the freshmen.

They drive like assholes, wheelies through red lights, on both sides of the street. They are going to kill innocent people.

they could follow them, and bottle them up, especially where neighborhoods have dead ends etc... Im sure they could figure it out if they wanted to.

You don’t know the outcome, anything can happen when a group attacks an individual. I would absolutely prefer the bday guy be in a morgue than an innocent woman get beaten by a group. It’s remarkable to me but it seems people have more empathy for the criminal than the innocent, I’m curious why that is

If you DM me yours I’ll DM you mine. And what if I’m from a non national state?!?!

Yeah they can google it, but it’s not about the information, it’s the shorthand vernacular that gives me away. Others too, like reading a run report.

I can see how what I said could be seen that way but that is absolutely not at all what I mean. If someone went out and created trouble for those riding the ATVs I would say they should be charge for assault with a deadly weapon. I merely say that anyone who get aggressed by these groups should have the right to defend themselves.

I don't even know where to start with this.

1. The liquor lobby is going to defend its industry. Why would it not? No one else outside of the organization that is paid to defend the industry defends the liquor stores or distributors. That's my point.
2. I did not say retailers and distributors are not making money, but you clearly don't know many retailers. Or distributors. The few boom years of covid were an anomaly, and only for some, and much of the money made did not translate into profits because of tariffs and shipping costs, as well as rising cost of labor. You think retailers make money on beer?? Hahahaha. No. I 'm pretty sure I addressed the stores skirting the rules with multiple licenses; they should not be allowed to do that, but they are because they have the cash and the connections with politicians. In no way does this help small, independent retailers, those to which I refer.
3. Self distribution does not level the playing field. Generally it's been retailers who are the first and loudest cheerleaders for local brewers, it's odd to pit them against one another. But how much money do you think retailers make on Corona, Bud, Miller, etc? Those are loss-leaders. Yikes. The profits are often less than the cost to keep them cold.
4. Which laws do you think have been changed in favor of *small* retailers over the last decade or so, and which laws do you think should or could be changed to benefit retailers in the future? I'm assuming you are aware that independent liquor stores have been squeezed to the brink and forced out of business in more than one state due to large corporations changing the rules in favor of themselves. One case recently went all the way to the Supreme Court, in fact, where state's rights and small business lost. Oh so ironically.
5. Lastly, I don't know if retailers do or don't care about this ONE SPECIFIC BILL but the point is that retailers have faced an onslaught of bills and apparently they are supposed to sit back quietly while their livelihoods die by a thousand shallow cuts. The optimal thing would be an industry that respects each other, for the public to understand what it is that is at stake for individual *small* businesses (and therefore the neighborhoods in which they are located) and ideally, for a rising tide to lift all boats. But apparently that is not the ocean we're sailing in.

😂😂

That’s just not right. Now Where exactly was this on North Main? 😜😜
