The time the US found out that the USSR has become dependent on industrial espionage for its technological development, intentionally sabotaged plans causing mechanical faults and death, and then started an arms race they knew the USSR couldn't really take part in, leading to their collapse. Instead of, instead, using this as leverage to promote mutual disarmament.

Newport's always been full of Old Money but it's gotten so much worse in the past decade or so. Tourist season in the summer turned into a year round tourist hell, people are constantly getting pushed out of apartments so the landlords can convert them into airbnbs (this happened to my dad 2 months ago), Jay Leno bought a house there, all the good bars closed and bougie places took their spots. It's really sad. Rhode Island's got a great unique history and culture compared to pretty much any other state and it's slowly just getting hosed into the ground while everyone gets driven out.

Anyway funny politics poo poo remember when :mitt: just told 47% of the country to gently caress themselves and then he lost for some reason

Alright, so this goes way back. It's I think 2005. I'm fifteen, my brother is twelve. We're both Boy Scouts and we're out selling wreaths in the rich part of town, because camp ain't cheap.

My brother goes up to this house and comes back empty-handed and completely bewildered. He knocked on the door, they opened it, he introduced himself, and guess what they said, I poo poo you not?

"We only take solicitations from our future president, Ron Paul."

To a twelve-year-old Boy Scout. I was boggled, he was boggled, my mom driving the drat car was boggled. I will never forget that. I could even point out which house it was today.

RI chat: I never liked visiting my RI cousins because where they lived, Barrington, was practically fascist. People would stare us down from their bay windows and they'd get the police to hassle us. At 7 pm when the sun was still up. We were 12.

My cousin's friend set off an M-80 one night in their school parking lot. My cousin and I headed home biking through a park trail in the dark. The others decided to chance it and walk home. The police found them 3/4 of a mile away and arrested them with no evidence to do so.

None of the local theaters had any showings after 8 at night.

When my cousin was 16, Barrington High had the highest claimed per-student weed rate in the country, which is actually pretty rad.

RI really sucked in the 90's.

Exactly. Vampires are horrible monsters and their organizations are pretty on-the-nose reflections of the capitalist systems. You were supposed to find those things bad. 1E/2E had a lot fo focus on playing rebels and/or reformers within the various Supernatural groups, which slowly faded away into becoming soap-opera as the metaplot took over.

If someone thinks the Camarilla are the good guys, chances are they're an rear end in a top hat.

Rand Paul's nuanced take on domestic drone strikes:

“I’ve never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on. If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash, I don’t care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him.”

This just reminds me about how being 17 on an election year sucks rear end because suddenly everything's the fuckin politics job fair and everyone expects you to choose a side and be as informed a voter as possible even though you can't vote and you just want to come home from school and sleep.
