I didn't say they were all white males. You don't have to be a white male to be a white supremacist and hate people of color and women. I understand that nuances and subtleties probably complicate things for you. I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you. Good luck

> anti brown and black, and pretty much anti anything straight White male.

To be honest the woman in this photo appears to be a POC

As for misinformation, the 2016 election gave then an opening. Trump was a pedophile and Hillary was married to a pedophile. Both Trump himself and Hillarys husband were linked to Epstein. Who is Q obsessed with? Epstein.

A bit too far? Just a bit? Okay. We won't talk about how many folks in the group are guilty of the thing they accuse everybody else of. They're responsible for domestic terrorism, spreading incredibly dangerous misinformation, and also being anti-trans anti brown and black, and pretty much anti anything straight White male. Let's not downplay them.

I think a lot of people believe ridiculous things. Most major religions are based upon unprovable myths. But I'm not gonna cause a scene if someone is wearing a crucifix necklace.

Personally I wouldn't cause a scene in this situation. I'd just notice it, shrug, and move on with my life. It's not like "confronting" them would change their mind anyways

You yourself admit there is a grain of truth to it. I just don't think it's worthy of complaining to the manager about honestly

By all reports this establishment is going to close anyways so I doubt a complaint would even matter. In this situation I'd just think to myself that I probably voted differently from this person and then move on with my day

Courtland Club! They do jazz every Sunday. My wife and I have gone a few times and it’s always great. People are really attentive and the players are all tight.

I don't go to Nick's on Fri or Sat. The crowd is more respectful on Tuesdays. Maybe older, too. Marty is an A-list bass player, and only invites other A-listers. I think we're incredibly lucky that he chooses to play there.

Sunday afternoons are pretty chill. Drummer Max Goldman runs a good show.

Both are also nice guys, too. Tip the band and say hello.

I’ve lived in providence (east side, downtown, and fed hill at different times) and commuted to Groton. I commuted everyday for the first 3.5 years. I now work mainly remotely and commute to Groton 1-2 times a week. The commute is long but it’s easy. I listen to a lot of podcasts. The Groton area is very dreary and as a “young professional” I’m very glad I lived here instead. A lot I’d my co-workers constantly complained about living the SE CT area. All that being said, I was very much nearing the end of my rope with the ~2 hr a day of commuting. I was considering leaving my company rather then moving closer to Groton. I’d say the key to this commute to make sure you live pretty close to a 95 exit in providence. So far the commute from Fed Hill has been the easiest out of the 3. The Broadway exit is before the worst of the traffic on the way home.

From what I’ve heard from co-workers that live towards New Haven and Hartford is that the traffic is generally worse in that direction.

I also like climbing! For gyms in the area there is the RockSpot in fed hill that is just bouldering and a RockSpot in Lincoln with top rope and bouldering and well as a central rock gym in Warwick. I’ve been to all 3 and they all are pretty nice with different pros and cons. There isn’t much climbing around Groton, central rock-Warwick or RockSpot-peacedale are the closest and still like 45min away.

TLDR: the commute is not fun but doable. The benefits of living in providence have been generally worth it for me but I wouldn’t plan on doing it forever.

How is Bill Clinton and Donald Trump both being pedophiles a mere grain of truth?

The 2016 election was between a pedophile and a woman married to a pedophile.

Gee, maybe that made people suspicious! 🤔

Personally I think Q goes a bit too far, but I completely understand how it started.
