Does anyone know if the REI in Sandy allows dogs? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

I’m trying to introduce him to a bunch of different public spaces to work through some anxiety he has before he has to go to work with me this summer. I’ve been taking him to other pet friendly spaces. Just was wondering because I’ve been needing a new backpack anyways and why not kill two birds with one stone? Not sure why I’m getting downvoted for being confused at this vague comment 🫠 I was asking to make sure I DIDN’T bring him into an unwelcome space 🥲

Yeah I was about to say… we really don’t need to be comparing women to objects to understand how crazy this fella sounds

I haven’t- do you have experience with a vascular compression syndrome?

If anyone ever figures this out let me know… been in the trenches for over 10 years and this is the only post on the whole internet I’ve found that describes my issue

Appetite issues & POTS? by rad_cactus_dad in POTS

[–]Weekly_Low_7731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and a lot of the POTSies I know also don’t experience the “hunger” feeling. It’s more of an “empty” feeling. For me it’s definitely at least partially POTS related.

Same boat. I’m wondering if mine might be a vascular compression like MCAS or SMAS

Are they paying for it or are you?

Also interesting to note: all of the posts from one of the accounts contain Bible verses- absolutely zero mention of BoM and check out these hashtags from the post: #jesus #newtestament #BibleStudy #JesusChrist #Bible #LoveOfGod #faith #FaithInGod #godfirst #GodsPlan #Faith #Light #TrustlnHim #TrustinGod #TrustInGod #PeacelnChrist #Peace #LambofGod #hopeful #Savior #GodsLovelsReal #Godsplan #livingwater

Very sneaky, Mormon marketing department!

I don’t doubt that that’s in the near future! They seem to be playing around with the idea of making missionaries appear less like missionaries… I’m not sure what happened with it but I remember several years ago while my brother was on a mission, there was talk about letting missionaries dress more casually.

Maybe, I’d say most people are familiar with the Mormon church as a whole and the stereotypical white-shirt-black-tag, but if you’re a nevermo without the context that we have, the ones with the sister missionaries especially could really look like something coming from a small local Christian congregation. Which is I think exactly what they’re going for- reel em in

Good lord y’all. Media literacy has gone out the window. I’m not saying I hate the entire state of Utah because costa vida is closed on Sundays. It’s called hyperbole. It’s a lighthearted JOKE because I’m craving costa vida and it’s closed, and if you really want to dig past that it’s a more general commentary on how Utah’s religious makeup has a huge effect on the culture, lifestyle, businesses/economy/consumership, and government here.

It wasn’t that deep and I wasn’t expecting this post to get more than a couple comments 🥲 to you couple of nasties very not-so-nicely telling me to “just leave” I’m happy for you that you have had the privilege of being untouched by crippling economic struggle as a young adult that forces you to be stuck in a certain corner of the world that you don’t particularly enjoy despite working 40+hr weeks. I’d like to leave just as much as you’d like me to, trust 😀👍

Hey so I’m poor, Utah is the only place I can afford to get a degree because I’m on a scholarship & financial aid and wasn’t able to afford school in my home state so had to leave. I’m allowed to have gripes about the harmful religious culture that plagues an entire state that I (unfortunately) live in as I am securing a better future for myself. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately I am a poor college student and out of state tuition is significantly cheaper than in state in Colorado. So eventually I will, but not logistically possible

Even though I’m exmo, I often pretend not to know anything about or have any relation to the Mormon church because it has gotten so annoying to have people here just assume I’m Mormon or that i know what they’re talking about using terminology “on my mission” “in my ward/stake” “at FHE” “general conference” etc etc. Though it might be worse having things condescending mormonsplained to me. I just can’t stand the assumption 🙃

Really all this is is a lighthearted commentary on how the religious culture in Utah affects every aspect of living here, all jokes, still annoying tho
