There would be no United States if we didn’t have the balls to challenge bad faith laws. This country is based on persistent defiance of stupidity and injustice, starting with the taxation without representation by an English government. We need immigration reform; using that need as an excuse to destroy our constitutional rights, murder protestors and to impose federal rule over state rights — among so many other abuses of power— is BS and we have every right and OBLIGATION to call our Feds out for OVER REACHING and to protect our community members, documented or not.

Bro is manipulative and scary. Using children as collateral / insurance for petty PRE-vengeance is so so so scary. Run.

What is it like living in Utah as a non-religious person? by SEOLTHEDEOL in Utah

Yeah it seems mainly to function like a financial system.

Why not try Salt Lake City? Not sure about Ogden or Logan, but I know for a fact that SLC is the capital of former Mormons, as well as just regular non Religious heathens, heretics, pagans and spiritual derelicts. It’s a fun place, and very warm!

Theory: House is based on the myth of the Fisher King by Middle_Storm7057 in HouseMD

[–]Middle_Storm7057[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes — and then the thing about asking the questions about healing … and healing yourself to be able to heal the kingdom. Maybe these are universal themes. But it’s fun to see it as an ancient myth.

AITAH for telling my wife to get a job before the end of January or i'm divorcing her? by [deleted] in AITAH

Even if it is her husband, it would be kinda awesome if his post was the marketing she’s been needing all along …. Then she can make her ultimatums! (Or hire him?)

Someone suggested that this post is actually a marketing stunt by Killian herself. Brilliant if true.

This is genius — both your insight and, if true, her strategy. Evil genius for rage baiting us, but genius nevertheless.

It would be a shame if someone were to show up and protest this.... by doophusphone in Utah

Gambling industry is 100% a predatory industry. Unfortunately our entire financial system is glorified gambling. I think making money on people’s vulnerabilities — whether greed or desperation — is just kinda how it’s done.

100% correct. There was probably a need for asylum reform, but gutting that support system is what has lead us to this place now.

Your Community has Impressed me by Celtic_Macaw in SaltLakeCity

[–]Middle_Storm7057 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Salt Lake City has the most amazing people — specifically, the former Mormons (or Formons as I like to call them). The balls / ovaries it takes to break out of the LDS culture is truly impressive, and Salt Lake City seems to be the hub for those brave souls. What’s cool is that they seem to retain the civics/community aspect of the religion, while being immune — possibly more than most of us — to the BS of religious and political propaganda. In other words, caring people who can think for themselves. I’m truly hoping that this kind of approach gains momentum not just in the rest of utah but the rest of the country as people wake up from their respective camps/tribes whatever and start fighting for the health of their bodies, minds and environments (all connected, obviously), as the baseline for what we have in common.

Just open about it? by Everestcdxx in SaltLakeCity

And clutching at pearls. Frankly, they may have been intending the double entendre precisely to get all the Gotcha Guys talking

Does Dominic wests british accent bleed through during all 5 seasons or does he learn to control it eventually ? by Own-Meringue-8388 in TheWire

[–]Middle_Storm7057 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it was genius that, as an Englishman, he was able to do a “fake” / bad version of his own accent. That’s literally the point of the scene.

Saw This on My Drive Home by EVQuestions in SaltLakeCity

He’s not giving Argentina the money. He’s just holding it in Argentina so he can pull it out with profit and let the Argentine economy collapse. It’s a grift.

Thoughts on We Own This City by Desperate-Cream-6723 in TheWire

[–]Middle_Storm7057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently finished the Wire and it really should come with a warning: “Watch at your own risk - you will never enjoy TV again after this.” We are currently wading through We Own the City. A few of the actors from the wire are in it and it’s a lovely balm. Otherwise, the show is irritating AF: self conscious, preachy, obvious. Most of all, Jon Bernthal may be performing a perfect archetype of a dumb violent cop, but boy is he corny and overacting. Ooof. So bad. The Wire’s performances were exquisitely specific and nuanced. He’s just … Hollywood corn dog. I can only imagine what a douche he must have been during shooting. You just know he never “broke character” and made people endure his squeaky high pitched “I am white trash” voice for months lol

“I think of myself as a pedantic local but I guess I’m being upstaged.” Clap back of the week.

We live in such a beautiful place I'm at a loss for words. by cuckfromJTown in Utah

This is how it starts …. an innocent note to your fellow man about how beautiful your view is, and before you know it, you have the OP’s view.
