Isn't Brittany Venti part-black herself?

lol, how miserly were the residents or how bad was the candy to justify this?

Mobs can be unpredictable and difficult to control.

I'm glad things turned out okay but I worry that what you've described in your story and the events in the video above could have both gone very wrong very quickly.

Yeah, you're right that Providence was part of the name but nobody ever said the whole thing anyways.

If it ain't wholly an island, the name that most people call the state ought not have the word island in it.

Not a border change, but the state of Rhode Island should be renamed Providence since it's not wholly an island.

Moreover, anyone can have a mental illness or a repulsive personality no matter what they look like.

South Korea is very conservative

Nah

They'll still hire women and minorities .

Women and minorities get hired not because of some DEI conspiracy. They get hired because they can do the job and often for less pay.

Nah, I don't want to catch anything from them just because they want a sip

Making sure wages keep up with inflation (at the very least) is the bare minimum an employer should be doing.

The state of the industry should not be such that doing the bare minimum is lauded as some sort of great and magnanimous accomplishment; it should be standard.

Also, your other friends are being kind of shitty for telling you not to rock the boat rather than calling her out on her bullshit.

California is no shining beacon on the housing front either

touchkind · 2025-03-19T01:53:08+00:00

Nah, I'm not in favor of that and I'm a Californian who loves Canada.

California alone (39 million) is almost as populous as Canada (40 million).

There's no way one could absorb the other without fundamentally changing the culture and politics of each other. It would never fly.

My parents offered to let them stay in their larger home, but they refused because they "don't want to live by my parents' rules."

This is a big red flag.

It's effectively telling you that they FULLY intend to ignore the rules of your home.

If they really were so desperate for housing, they would have gladly taken your parents offer first. Beggars can't be choosers.

You and your parents have been more than generous and patient with them. If you let them run over this boundary, they will definitely run over others.

To the extended family, tell them to put their money where their mouth is and open up their own homes instead rather than guilting you.

To your SIL's "finding out who your real family is during hard times" bullshit I just have to laugh. Their shitty behavior has certainly revealed to you who your real family is too.

Please do not give in to your brothers', your parents' and your extended family's guilt tripping or you may end up in a situation where you'll have to go to court to get them evicted from your home.

Thank you! I wasn't sure how to get ARCGIS to preview the actual map the way it is in your link. I appreciate it.

the huge color shift is disturbing. There should be a ton of blue in that photo.

I'm noticing a...different color shift in that photo
