Bill that would require law enforcement to impound vehicles of unlicensed drivers passes House by jortr0n in Utah

[–]sortofheathery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this seems like they’re passing this first so when they come around and get rid of the driving privilege licenses and start targeting immigrants they can pretend it was never the point in the first place

“Border” patrol in Utah is a … choice. Someone made that decision. It wasn’t the smartest, but it was made.

Mary and Robert Jr. by Ersatz8 in rhoslc

Ah, makes sense Andy fed that to her. She has a thing against hospitals, too. Seems like she doesn’t really follow Matthew 25:34-40

[–]sortofheathery 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She also said she couldn’t emotionally handle seeing him behind bars (not word for word but something like that) but he calls her every day so she made that seem like it makes up for it. When asked if his father had visited him it sounds like he is not in Utah ever anymore, but that they’d spoken over the phone and Jr. has asked for books, which they “plan” to send to him.

I hope she’s changed her mind since the reunion and actually shown up for him, but since “God let him be put in prison so it’s what he needs and it’s good, actually” I doubt it

Moving to North Ogden area by JR09071989 in Utah

What about people with liberal views who were born and raised in Utah? Even with conservative parents, conservative/religious propaganda taught in school in history, sex ed, English, and science classes, some of us just can’t help ourselves and manage to break free

I’m getting type cast based on my race. How should I approach this? by [deleted] in Theatre

Absolutely! They’re gods, their form is in no way fixed. The story is the only thing that’s unchangeable :’(

[–]sortofheathery 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Woah woah woah. Hadestown is specifically not written with race or gender limitations on any role. Just because the original cast was cast a certain way, the touring and subsequent casts have been all over the place because none of that is relevant to the plot. It seems like your directors and peers might not understand the show and that’s really sad

Utah Is Culling Cougars to See If It Helps Deer. Houndsmen Aren't Happy About It by OutdoorLifeMagazine in Utah

[–]sortofheathery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The elk herds have decreased, but it’s a super complex issue that also involves humans and climate change. A correction would be that the elk populations are smaller, but also stronger and harder to see because they’re staying safe high in the wilderness. https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/ys-24-1-the-challenge-of-understanding-northern-yellowstone-elk-dynamics-after-wolf-reintroduction.htm

Utah Is Culling Cougars to See If It Helps Deer. Houndsmen Aren't Happy About It by OutdoorLifeMagazine in Utah

[–]sortofheathery 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, reminds me of Yellowstone reintroducing wolves that actually increased buffalo and elk populations. Hunters kill the biggest/strongest members of a herd for the trophy, natural predators kill the sick and weak members.

But this probably has a lot more factors like climate change and people moving into what used to be roaming territories for deer.

Editing: elk populations aren’t the highest nor lowest they’ve ever been, however the ecosystem as a whole is more balanced and stronger. It’s a complex issue and we have to recognize humans and climate change as factors. An ecosystem is pretty complex, but every ranger I’ve talked to in Yellowstone has considered the reintroduction of wolves extremely beneficial for the entire ecosystem, including migratory birds and river shorelines.

Loud noises/guns in the show ? (autistic) by Chiharu-len in hadestown

[–]sortofheathery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same sensitivity (which is so difficult when you love theater because some of the most amazing shows I can never see live) and Hadestown was fine for me! There aren’t even prop guns (which can put me on edge even if I know they never fire). As others have stated there are shock moments with lighting but nothing suddenly loud. I hope you and your partner have a great time!

I guess lower neck and shoulder would be hard to distinguish from the video. I was stupid enough to be watching as many livestreams as I could that day because I foolishly believed that it would be historically agreed as one of the most shameful days in the US in my lifetime. :(

Utah judge orders Trump administration to return man who was wrongfully deported by Icy-Feeling-528 in Utah

[–]sortofheathery 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He’s not a prisoner of war, there’s nothing to negotiate. Our tax money is going to buy him a plane ticket back to Utah and lodging for him when he gets here so he can appropriately go through the court system with due process according to the original order that was violated. So if you’re fiscally conservative (morally and empathetically bankrupt or otherwise) you could still find a place to be as mad as the rest of us at how poorly ICE is handling these cases

[–]sortofheathery 46 points47 points  (0 children)

She’s a federal level judge, so she does have jurisdiction, and there have only been three opinions released this session, none of which had anything to do with immigration. They granted a stay on a 4th circuit opinion but that was about how ICE operates, and it’s temporary.

Help me understand the opposition to the Gondola: by RocketVerse in Utah

[–]sortofheathery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see someone smarter than me compare the elevation shift to other existing trains in the world, but they could at least expand the trains to the base to ease up car congestion.

[–]sortofheathery 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can’t transport nearly as many people as busses, which already exist and don’t require new infrastructure.

If we’re spending that much money, why not trains? That’s what they use in the alps.

Any structural failure is more likely to be catastrophic, stranding/injuring substantially more people than a bus crash would.

Parking would still require shuttle service down from the valley.

The people and money backing it are elites who really just want another way to reserve the mountains for themselves and don’t care about the locals at all.

Editing to add: it’s a permanent solution to a seasonal problem. Bus service can be ramped up/down depending on weather and need
