Reply to Is there a subreddit that allows for event postings in RI? by lovemesomereddit

You can message the mods and get a definite ruling before you post, but my understanding is that posts can't directly be ads or selling, like, "I'm selling my mountain bike, $500 firm". But I think it's fine to post about in-person events where there will be things for sale like announcing farmers markets and fairs and stuff.

Especially if you're looking for participants for the craft fair, that seems totally fine to me. But I'm also not a mod, so, my word means nothing.

Thank you for the correction. It was a grave error, and I regret it.

edit: in my defense, the organizers did advertise it both ways:

> Runners and walkers are expected to maintain a pace that will have them off of the Newport Pell Bridge an hour after they start. This requires a pace of 18:00 minutes per mile, or faster.

and also

> All participants must be off the bridge in one hour. This requires a 3 mph. pace. All participants unable to maintain this pace will be escorted off the bridge by race officials.

There is much better photography out there too, not shot while running and death-gripping a sweaty cell phone like I did...

There's a good collection on the official FB page, both posted by the org and by participants in the comments: https://www.facebook.com/PellBridgeRun/

Or for video, there is a good ground-level one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5oGuorpgF8

and another from a drone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUg-r0eUbHk

I am partial to the ground level video, on account of my wife and I being in it a couple times. TBF, we were pretty recognizable...

The annual Pell Bridge Run is your one and only chance to (legally) set foot on the Newport bridge and examine the quality of the pavement up close and personal.

Since they shut down traffic on the bridge, they enforce a 3 MPH/18 minute mile minimum pace, which is a not-even-that-brisk walk. It's 4 miles total from the toll plaza on the Jamestown side, ending right at the bus station on America's Cup Ave.

> republicans make up less than literally 5% of all politicians at every level

What's your source for that? For elected officials that apply to me, 25% are republican and I'm not even in a particularly conservative town. Burrillville has 4/5 town councillors affiliated with the republican party.

LOL, you say you care about the future yet you don't vote in any primaries? That seems awfully self-defeating and hypocritical.

It also seems like you're still failing to grasp what I am saying here anyway. My point is that the debate didn't change your opinion at all, you were always going to vote for Kalus. I haven't said anything about what my opinion is, or what anyone else's opinion should be...I'm just calling out a deceptive practice I have seen exclusively from one side.

I guess that's the new scheme from the Right...pretend to be undecided, then declare that x thing changed your mind. I've seen it several times in this sub, always with R candidates """winning me over""".

I suppose the idea is to not immediately out themselves as a wool-over-their-eyes republican to try to retain some shred of credibility, while still trying to build support for their candidate.

But they're clearly too foolish to realize that their comment history is public and we can all see their persistent conservative frothing all along.

You can still legally access the shore below high tide. But you can't cross private property to get there, and (ofc) can't use the private club facilities above that line either.

Then it really comes down to the club's enforcement and your willingness to litigate to protect your (our) rights.
