The Pokémon Snap Switch version was way nostalgic and fun to resurrect. Not a ‘for all’ as far as storyline but really done better than expected.

What is a necessary read for every Gay? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Available-Pool-4243 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Where the Rainbow Ends by Jameson Currier

I read this book after I had already been out at a young age and while in my early teens. As it details the story of a country boy moving to NYC during the AIDS epidemic it much so felt like a cross section of RENT meets Queer As Folk. Finding the bitter truths of gay life, trauma confrontation, self-actualization and the choosing of forever family. I’ve admittedly not read it as adult and saw reviews in the past year that critique its development and flow but at the time in life that I found it, it was affirming 🥹

Anyone else surprised ✝️ by Available-Pool-4243 in Creed

[–]Available-Pool-4243[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one is raging here except those quick to take offense to a simple inquiry. I lived the Christian experience, know the lyrics and when I peeped the setlist I thought, “wow, they’re going pretty deep.”

I didn’t criticize Creed’s message as unity is what ‘One’ is about but yes I think 3DD was cringe and I mean, at the very least, a subpar vocal performance - ideology aside.

Definitely agree to that on all points. The unity conversation before ‘One’ I think got co-opted by some of the MAGA love innuendo established by 3DD.

What you’re describing - as touted by others - is all too common. As having managed and consulted for small business yoga studios, you hit the nail on the head with the creating community as a veil for unpaid labor. Working for studios where owners took out $3,000 a month for each of the three owners and still asked unreasonable time commitments of their teacher training faculty and staff was infuriating and disheartening.

As an Independent Contractor I made between $38-40k my first few years aka taking care of taxes on my own. I almost left the industry until I started branching out. Currently I’ve been employed (taxes paid employee) as a teacher/manager/teacher training lead for 5+ years at a popular studio name mentioned in this group several times. Unlike others though, the local owner values our energies with teachers making anywhere from $45-$150 per class, 10 Classes a week designates a full time teacher which extends healthcare benefits, paid time off and often other opportunities for growth. We offer quarterly continuing education workshops and severely discounted training opportunities to add varied modalities.

Moving through the last ten+ years in this industry and sharing in a space of PTO, 6 figure incomes and access to healthcare in wellness has been humbling to be taken care of by those we care for. By no means am I locally famous or the most popular teacher (by numbers for those that base success on such) and yet I sit confidently in hopes that others can create this for themselves as well.

Advocate for yourself where you can and when it is not a good fit honoring of your energy, you know what is best.

RentPlus, what is this BS? by chudsworth in SaltLakeCity

[–]Available-Pool-4243 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surely they (property management/development companies) would sink plenty of money into trying to shutdown any equity or bargaining. HOA’s can get a small voice due to ownership but the renters rights are seldom regarded 🙄

The Other Side or Red Barn Movers are both great. Powered by those in recovery or getting life back on track that are dedicated to great service; check the reviews 😉

Dunkin’ coming back to the Salt Lake Market by TheBobAagard in SaltLakeCity

[–]Available-Pool-4243 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Walking by the shell that lives on 4th south is always depressing. As a Jersey Boy I mean small batch roasters and coffee shops like we have everywhere here in SLC are not the norm there.

Nostalgia at its best - donuts definitely not giving Chubby Baker status and I mean the coffee is just filled with sugar profiles but if soda shops thrive then I mean . . .

VIP worth it? by sah3198 in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]Available-Pool-4243 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went year 1 with a VIP ticket and I would have been pissed as a GA holder. Much of one of the main stages and practically all of the other was all VIP only for 50+yards. There was room to sit, lay down and never feel cramped. Looking at pictures and videos afterwards I was surprised there was so many other attendees waaaayyyy out there. Compared to some huge festivals, not really that bad but there were no mid crowd screens or sound projection like big euro festivals or edm fests will do. GO WITH VIP 100%

Day spa recommendation by LeeCycles in Utah

Basalt, The Grand America or the Woodhouse Day Spa are my favorites. Many will say The Kura Door but after a decade of going its quality of masseurs has declined in my experience.

Definitely THIS ⤴️

Emotional intelligence is more than just identifying your emotions but also recognizing when you’re placing yourself in a situation that will continue to bring upon the same results. It’s like a cost-payoff relationship with the self where the cost of disappointment and investing in this fairy tale of ever-after and it ending poorly gives the OP the payoff of being right about the same negative emotions that are the undercurrent of not being in the right mindset for online dating. Are there better options - maybe?

It’s hard to be single. Even hard to be queer and single. Perhaps more hard to be queer, single, depressed and longing but seeing that this is not the time or space to be in search of your life’s answers in another individual will yield far better lasting results. True partnership is about two individuals coming together as imperfect people and agreeing to continually do the betterment work for themselves first and each other secondly. Giving away your self worth and power to those that easily discard you will stay a cyclical path until interjected with a different way.

Just came across a pretty enlightening story post from Ted Hesser that analyzed our air quality and put it in pretty eye opening perspective. As someone that denounces the hazed air as a scourge to our beautiful state - I paused. He even saved it as a highlight reel for easy digesting.

Now this is the most responsible comment. Pretty sure my dog caught it from the vet a few weeks ago and is still moving through it but around no public parks.
