It's not you, it's the market. Good luck!

>We have a budget of around $2800

>choices have been slim

This is the year I finally get priced out of my apartment, isn't it?

This is truly the only thing they're good at, in my opinion.

I always enjoyed sharing a pitcher of the "top shelf" margaritas and some nachos, but every time I ordered an actual meal it was a disappointment.

After scrolling past 10 advertisements: >no one asked could definitively say why Rhode Islanders call it a bubbler

Neat.

>But there is a plausible theory.

>As you’ve probably gathered from the examples given above, when bubblers, as we know them, came out as a new technology people wanted to distinguish them from the older styles of drinking and water fountains. They had already had drinking/water fountains that they needed a cup to use – these were different. These had water that “bubbled” up and that they could drink directly from them, and they wanted language to describe that experience. And that language made its way into the mainstream, into newspapers like The Providence Journal, and, in this region, it stuck.

So we call them bubblers because that's what people started calling them because that's what they did and then people kept calling them that. But we're not certain.

That's not great.

Might be worth contacting the EPA's National Response Center: 1-800-424-8802.

Of course GoLocalProv would interview the landlord and not the restaurant owner.

Here's where they get the info, without any ads:

I always thought the West End is to the West Side as College Hill is to the East Side,

Can we get some sort of explanation?

Madrid European Bakery. It's semi quiet, though sometimes pretty full of people working.

Interesting concept but the low resolution and aliasing take away from it.

You're also missing Conanicut Island and Block Island.

Will do and good luck!

I'm always wary of posts asking to be contacted for stolen vehicles or missing persons because there's no way to verify it.

No offense to OP but posts like this could be used to track down someone escaping an abusive situation.

If anyone spots this vehicle they should contact the police.

This whole account is shit stirring garbage.

It makes good sense and I'd like to see it done here.

Fun exercise: Take a look at that account's comment history and tell me whether you think it's the owner of Rebelle or not.

That's a beautiful sight

It's not diagnosis, just casual observation of repeated and consistent patterns of behavior.

>Says as much about you as you think it says about her.

It doesn't, but I can understand why you might feel the need to tell yourself it does. Vulnerability is a difficult feeling to sit with.

Wildfires and mass shootings being casually grouped in with snowstorms as common occurrences is one hell of a sign of the times.

Yeah the double standard is real and BS. Like I said, intersectional circlejerk. I have no trouble believing there wouldn't be nearly as much enthusiastic anger about her if she were a white man (and her behavior in that case would likely be viewed as typical). I definitely feel like the less I know about local business owners, the better, else I'll be out of places to eat at. I'm sure having an acerbic social media presence is small potatoes compared to what's out there.

I totally understand separating the artist from the art, and I'm glad you're able to and that you haven't had any negative interactions. I've heard nothing but good things about the food at Little Sister. If it were just the online drama and rumors I'd probably go, but I can't in good conscience support her businesses after seeing it firsthand. Mistreating staff is a deal breaker for me. More's the pity.

The drama over her online behavior was amusing before it started to become apparent that it's a compulsion for her. Just look at her replies to reviews on Google. As such, I think the intentionally inflammatory framing of posts like this one is in poor taste. I don't get any enjoyment out of folks who aren't in a position to help themselves being goaded into acting out. But at the same time it's complicated since she's a pseudo public figure who readily feeds into it? I don't know. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Anyway, thanks for the perspective. Enjoy the food for me!

It's not diagnosis, just casual observation of repeated and consistent patterns of behavior.

Compulsively replying to quite literally every single fractionally negative comment is part of what I mean when by emotional regulation issues. It would suggest an inability to self-soothe.

There's definitely some intersectional circlejerking going on, but I've personally witnessed her lean into berating one of her employees, fully in front of all the customers on a busy day at Rebelle. I haven't been back since.

She appears to have legitimate emotional regulation issues, which she compensates for by framing herself as a perpetual underdog pitted against "the haters."

Given the apparent regularity of distasteful real life, social media, and review-responding incidents, the resulting widespread dislike for her isn't all that surprising to me. Reddit loves outrage and righteous indignation.

Not to discourage you from seeking info here, but this is exactly the sort of thing your local librarian would be able to help with.

Anytime I've made friends it has been as a secondary effect of having regular, repeated interactions someplace I'm at anyway. In my case school, work, bars.

Anytime I've grown apart from friends, it's been because there hasn't been regular, repeated interactions because I'm not at those places anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.

Intention isn't nearly as effective as repetition, that's how you get the "oh hey we should totally hang out soon!" that never happens because life keeps getting in the way. This is why post-school is such a hard time for friendships for so many people.

Which is to say, your best bet for finding and forming friendships is to be somewhere regularly and repeatedly. School, work, bars, gyms, religious groups, book clubs, charity groups, etc. Doesn't really matter where, so long as you are likely to run into people you jibe with. Show up, keep showing up, talk to people. Friendships should follow organically.

And don't listen to folks who say this is a New England problem. It's a post-school problem anywhere, and likely a consequence of work taking up so much of our free time and energy.

Good luck!

This is pathetic.
