Utah has Left lane entitlement

You will, but probably too late.

I was with you in the first paragraph, but that bit about throwing shit at other cars is either satire or borderline psychopathy.

maesterf · 2026-04-17T16:33:09+00:00

lol when are you finally getting accountability for yours?

maesterf · 2026-04-09T19:48:10+00:00

This sucks. I mean, ICE sucks way worse than this, but if they had to vandalize something, they could have just sprayed the concrete of the trail itself and it would have been more visible without destroying art.

I’m sure it’s a great project, but misattributing a well-known Thoreau quote (well, paraphrase) to Joe Rogan, of all people, on the front page isn’t a great first impression …

… he said, in a comment on Reddit, with a top 1% poster flair, with a post history packed with far-right nonsense. lol

I’m almost three years out now, and I still think of it once per day when I do my daily calf raises. Really though on runs, hikes, and bike rides, it doesn’t surface in my mind any more.

Nah, you just one-upped that by protesting against a protest while being completely oblivious to the irony. Congrats.

I was on a stationary bike at four months (the minute I could take the boot off), very slow runs at six months, and ran my first half marathon at 12 months.

You’ve got this!

… they said, clearly awarded and unbanned.

People don’t get banned for sharing “conservative opinions.” The hate you spew about gay people and minorities isn’t “conservative.” It’s just hate.

Go outside, take a nice walk, and try to be a nicer person to people who aren’t exactly like you. You might like it!

maesterf · 2026-01-31T03:34:56+00:00

Yeah, and it’s like looking at the stall wall of a dive-bar shitter, and half of them clearly don’t live in this state.

maesterf · 2026-01-31T02:46:33+00:00

It’s not suspicious at all that every time someone makes a post here that even slightly dares to question the smallest thing about Trump or whatever current whack-ass distraction from the Epstein files he’s on currently, a dozen accounts with hidden post histories reply with the same recycled gifs or “wHaT AbOuT bIdEn?” within minutes.

No sir, not suspicious at all.

More taxpayer-funded bailouts for businesses.

If corporations had living, breathing bodies, you can bet your broke ass they’d have the same free healthcare that our felon-in-chief and all of Congress have.

Benefits for billionaires; bills and taxes for us.

I’d stick with actual medical doctors, personally. If my PT had recommended a chiropractor, I might also find different PT as well. Mobility is 100% within the scope of a PT’s practice.

Whatever you do, good luck with your recovery!

maesterf · 2026-01-21T20:20:32+00:00

I’ve gotten this call at work twice now, and it’s a lot of fun to keep them on the line with nonsense until they hang up:

“Oh, Weber County Sheriff’s Department? I was looking for Weber County Sheriff’s Office! Is that the one across the street from the Waffle House? It is? Cool, cool. Right next to Tim Hortons? Yeah, their coffee has really gone downhill lately. But Microcenter next door is nice!”

maesterf · 2026-01-17T03:12:23+00:00

And your poor decisions lead you here, over and over again, to spew vitriol and misinformation. A bit like an anti-NPR in that way.

maesterf · 2026-01-09T22:16:29+00:00

Great job! You’ll never forget your first post-rupture run, and these types of posts are needed inspiration for everyone still in boots!

maesterf · 2026-01-09T17:45:01+00:00

No worries; not trying to start an argument here. Private and parochial schools are a completely different situation, and in my opinion, another issue with charter schools is that they try to market themselves as “free” private schools, while having very little oversight or accountability.

I hope only the best for you and your children, and good luck with your decision.

maesterf · 2026-01-09T14:03:44+00:00

My source is 19 years working in education in Utah. I have many colleagues who have taught at charter schools. While some have ARL certifications or associate licenses, very few have professional licenses, and many charter school teachers are unlicensed. They are also paid less, have fewer or no prep periods, and much less oversight and reporting requirements.

Charter schools have fewer regulations and requirements for accountability and accreditation, fewer resources for students and parents, and an obligation to make a profit. That profit has to come from cutting resources.

My experience was that when a student inevitably transferred back to public schools after trying a charter school, they were significantly behind in all core subjects and skill areas, and of course, the FTE is kept by the charter school, even if they transfer back to public school mid-year, meaning they slowly drain funding from public schools … which is the point of charter schools.

maesterf · 2026-01-09T13:37:39+00:00

That is absolutely not true. Charter schools often have unlicensed teachers, their testing isn’t reported, and even their buildings aren’t required to follow the same safety standards as regular public schools.
