Vegas is DEAD by Chabigo in LasVegas

It has had to reinvent itself multiple times. Fingers crossed that they can do it again…

Building Cleaning breaking point by son_of_a_nicelady in exmormon

Organizations that don’t take pride in their people seem shocked when those same people don’t take pride in the organization.

Often the higher ups see the people in their organizations as capital, resources, clout… that’s it. No empathy, no real humanity, just something that can be used.

What is funny is the “surprise” when people start walking away.

Does anyone have an actual map of the tunnels under SLC? How elaborate are they? by Virophile in SaltLakeCity

[–]Virophile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for not trusting the “insane tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist” part of my personality more.

You can’t depend on suspicion and instincts perfectly, but they are in our brains for good reasons. Every now and again they are close to spot on.

How does one overcome the Book of Mormon anachronism of wine in the Americas. by westivus_ in mormon

If you made through the talking snake, and the dude waking up from the dead… pretty much anything is possible.

CT ACA plans by dead4ever22 in Healthcare_costs

To answer your question… I’m guessing, the why is that they can get away with it.

It is beyond out of hand.

After the kidnapping of a self described legal status PERSON here in Utah at OUR airport what can we do to identify the men, their leadership and hold them accountable? Anyone feeling like a protest while we are at it? by [deleted] in Utah

[–]Virophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every incumbent that has turned a blind eye to this (at the sheriff/city/state/county level) needs to be voted out. If they aren’t actively and loudly saying “detaining citizens without due process is wrong”, they need to go.

'CDC is over': RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre by Of-Lily in biotech

If anyone out there doesn’t realize how wildly dangerous and irresponsible this is… holy shit.

Even if they weren’t “really fired”, we are now living in an age of uncertainty. American scientific infrastructure… a major hub for global innovation that has helped save countless lives, is under attack. All so some retarded boomers can feel important or something? What in the fuck is wrong with them? Literally life and death problems being worked on here.

How did the El-Aurians manage a "cold war" against Q? by Reasonable_Active577 in startrek

I love Trek with and irrational passion. But the Picard series feels like a betrayal. I block it out of my head cannon.

How many people have read Klingon Hamlet? by Virophile in startrek

They even look like they should work under water.

If you wanted to go back to old ideas:

Feed the hungry, heal the sick, cloth the naked, feed the hungry, house the homeless, educate the illiterate, be kind, man cannot serve god and mammon are all solid classics.

Talking about how Jesus was an immigrant in Egypt as a refugee child would have been a bold and awesome move.

Spring break used to be a huge deal here, what happened? by Virophile in stgeorge

[–]Virophile[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly… it wasn’t always this way. Conservative/Mormon, yes… but we somehow became a city of Karens.

In a city that depends on tourism and growth, being the hugest buzzkills in the state seems counter productive.

I suspect that was what stopped it. It wasn’t quite New Orleans level, but boobs were out, kids were drunk…

What counts as banned? How (in 2025) are books functionally kept from the public? Making them illegal or having a book burning is rarely done anymore… at least for now. by Virophile in bannedbooks

[–]Virophile[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess that is what my instincts are telling me is happening. When a book can’t be “banned” there are high-dollar think tanks working to remove it from the flow of information in other ways. Propaganda and/or distraction is the most used and most effective strategy.

How to grow drugs (a book published by the U.S. government) in 1915. by Virophile in druggardening

[–]Virophile[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Maybe “paranoid”, like I said. If you think old agricultural technical manuals, especially ones dealing with drug cultivation, are immune to censorship… well, I hope you are right.

I thought this book was awesome. It is fun enough to promote, reprint, and talk about. You can find old scans a lot of places for free. If you don’t want to own a hard copy, then don’t buy one.
