No, it's the name for same term for the same groups.
Which part do you disagree with, the "extremist" part or the "hate" part?

Reply to comment by Wrinkled_giga_brain in Matt Hancock suspended as Tory MP for joining I'm a Celeb cast by ItsZippy23
Thanks for the background, I was a bit confused too...I was just assuming it was a show like, idk, Jeopardy where it's one day of filming that then gets edited into a bunch of weekly shows.
Being Survival-style makes more sense.
If you're taking followup questions - who is the suspending authority? The article says it's the guy in charge of Tory MP discipline; is that someone who is also an MP that the party has decided should be the majority leader like US congress does, or are they someone in the party but outside the government who only does intra-party stuff?

You can just block the "politics" flair if on here if you don't want to see politics content. The flair system here is a pretty tight ship.

But the presidential race isn't specific to RI, so there shouldn't be much of it on here. It's literally rule #1.

Reply to When you see an actor who seems familiar, do you feel like you need to KNOW who he played before? by fabrizziop17
Absolutely.
I really wish there was a shazam app for animation voice actors. Happens so many times where I KNOW I recognize a voice but just can't place it and I can't think of anything else until I figure it out.

Well some neighborhood kids might wander through, but it's not specifically a kids party.
Yes alcohol.
99% outdoors by the fire, with an outdoor movie.
Closer to laid back chilling for sure.
Wickford Horribles parade, Saturday at noon.

I think the plan is just to move all the crosswalks further away so drivers can get recombobulated after the rotary before having to think about yielding to something else

>I do think the intersection of tower hill and annaquatucket by the high school needs a light
Agreed
>I'm curious how they're going to squeeze a rotary in that space that doesn't require drifting to make the turn, just because the space there isn't that big and it's bounded by the bridge and the businesses.
As I recall, the only thing being lost is like the two closest street parking spots, and the center of the rotary will practically be imaginary...just like a 3 foot brick circle at a similar level as the asphalt so it indicates where you're supposed go, but the odd semi truck could just roll straight through.

Sounds like a self-solving problem then...bad drivers go to prison and bad pedestrians go to heaven

I don't think the rotaries part is specifically necessary, but otherwise, yes.

Because that intersection really is a breeze the vast majority of the time...outside of the summer mornings and afternoons when it really sucks, traffic from any direction can just freely flow through. All the delays a light would introduce would be totally unnecessary. Although a light that's just flashing red/yellow most of the time would probably accomplish the same.
But I'm all for the rotary. I just want to watch the world turn.

Kelley Square is much better now, but still worse on account of so many different paths converging. Wickford is only a tee, so it can only be so bad.

Party at my house all Saturday afternoon, evening, and night after the halloween parade at noon. Cool people only.
Camp fire and outdoor screening of Hocus Pocus (and I've probably just doxxed myself to anyone who actually knows me).

Reply to property line on stone wall? by edthesmokebeard
Sure it makes sense. You each own half, which mean neither of you can do anything to the wall without the consent of the other. Dismantling your half of the wall would undermine their half, so you can't do it. Same goes for them, so you end up with a bit of a buffer zone.

Ah okay, so the technique is to just throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks, and when it doesn't stick just throw more?
134,137 voted in the governor primary this year; notably more than the 117,875 who voted for the same in 2018.
>Voters were being turned away from polling sites due to last minute polling location changes. When given the information of where they could vote they were stating they wouldn’t even bother.
Source?
>People that were also registered democrats were specifically requesting for a Republican ballots during the primaries because they simply didn’t want him.
That doesn't even make sense. First, it's not possible, second, it wouldn't accomplish their stated goal. Third, you just made it up.
>This wasn’t a grand slam as some people are attempting to make it seem.
What "grand slam" do you think I'm trying for? I just mentioned the tiny McKee margin in the comment you just replied to.

In Cumberland, he was 15 points ahead of the next highest, compared to being 3 points ahead statewide.
Also in Cumberland, over 3x more people voted for him than Kalus.
Of all the valid criticism you could have leveled at McKee, why make something up that's so objectively false?

>what does flying a LGBTQ flag on state property have to do with anything but virtue signalling?
Flags are literally signals. What does flying an American or Rhode Island do aside from virtue signal? Flags are symbols, and I think it's perfectly reasonable to signal our pride in being Americans, pride in being Rhode Islanders, and pride in being a diverse community across all the gender and sexual spectrums of immutable traits we exist on.
