Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

Also my parents think that covid shut down was set partly deliberate against churches.

My mom doesn't want universal health insirance because of illegal immigrants.

Also gotta love how religious people can go after everyone else's rights, then claim to be a victim for being told thay can't.

God America is fun sometimes.

theabortionatorYeah dude. I looked it up and they got like 460k to donate to skateparks. Super rad of them to do it, and honestly a pretty cool thing to own. I'm sure it was like "HO LEE FOOK" when seeing how much shit they had to sign, but also probably a good thing. You obviously go into a project like this wanting it to be successful. I'm sure they were like "How many people will actually buy this shit?" but it's pretty dope. I'm gonna have to get it in a frame before it gets fucked in my car on the road trip back west.

Also will probably be rolling through Oregon mid-late Nov on the way to WA

that’s awesome. you know to hmu on your way through OR

larilinesignI moved over here to Utah and I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CREEPY LITTLE BLONDE KIDS?????

I'm not talking about about no average citizens walking around minding their own business...

I'm talking about bleach-blonde head bleach-blonde eyebrow sniffly little 2-8 year olds running amuck all over the place. All looking like the same little kid over and over. Never just one of them, they come in pairs or more.

What with their lurching handlers who have these huge white teeth and look at you side-eyed. Dad is Patagonia-ed out like he just got back from rock climbing and mom is a flowy-haired MILF in an oversized sweater and leggings, her makeup airbrush finished. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

These little blonde kids are the blood of my nightmares! I get a panic attack every time I see them cause I think I'm nested into some kind of lucid dream I can't escape!

They're here to CLAIM MY IMPURE SOUL.

I've never actually heard one of them little blonde kids speak, but I imagine if they did, it would be some kind of DEVISTATING GUTTERAL SQUEAL!

Every time I see them, I get all tripped up and run away!

I've never actually seen them drink water. Therefore! They must feed on blood. That's how they make their hair turn normal color so they can blend in as adults and proliferate throughout the world.

But see that's the thing... Utah isn't the real world. These little blonde kids must have some kind of telepathic powers that they use to surround the state in a psychic force field that they've created to torment me!

I suspect these creepy little blonde kids are how the Mormans are weaponizing for a spiritual crusade.


how long have you lived here? those are called mormons

People complaining that they're good insurance is giving them issues and not covering certain things, but then believing that our healthcare system is the best and anything to make it better would ruin it. The twisted pile of bullshit to see whos covered under what, is this covered, can they see that doctor, actually that should have been covered but it wasn't, etc. Fuck yeah.

Been in very dry Utah nonstop since last summer, finally get to come home for a week in the fall, hope for a day or two of rain, sunny the day I get in and in a day when I leave, otherwise just pouring rain and some snow tonight, and of course back to straight sunny all next week. God damn I dont mind seeing rain for once but fuck I wanna be able to do more while I’m here. I guess I should’ve put my two weeks in further back and come East next week before the ski shop starts soon, and of course the day I flew here Utah got enough snow to set up rails.

Yeah my house back home is run off a well and I forgot how shitty that is when there’s a drought, short showers and kinda weak pressure. It’s been a theme last few years in the summer here it seems, maybe it’s always been like that and I don’t remember though. But yeah I think it might be flurrying outside which is nice, just funny the week I decide to come back after being gone so long was the week they finally get good rain but also it’s mostly leftovers of the hurricanes in the south, oh well back to slc tomorrow and I’ll be able to skin up maybe a half a groomer of man made.

theres a masterplan possibly to build some transit gondolas from the outer parts of Park City that take you into PC/base areas/downtown..... why in the fuck hasn't this been brought up already? I went to Breck in like '04 with my family and they already had a similar setup for parking. It is time to really start addressing the congestion up here. Absolutely no reason a 10 minute drive in/out of town takes nearly 3 hours on some mornings.

and you could build a 3rd additional base area at the bottom of that Sun Peak chair/area over on the Canyons side. wtf im gonna run for mayor of PC I think

That should be enough time, it's not like you pulled off the highway and checked them. Check them in the evening or tomorrow morning and adjust.

Saw a commercial about how quarantine has affected people's mental health and if people needed they should go talk to a professional and had a $100 off coupon.

Fuck this country. It's wild how people think our healthcare is so great.

Dont kill yourself, here's a discount to spend a bunch of money to talk to somebody.

Murica

America is a pretty good place, but if we're going to constantly wave our dick around and invade all these other countries, maybe we could get some basic improvements here.

But yeah every other country hates their health care and is jealous of our freedom or whatever.

Idk that commercial showed how fucked things are here. People have mental health issues, and our healthcare system is shot.

But instead of being able to talk about anything it becomes a political issue. People are so focused getting the other guy, shutting down the other side, we can't make any progress.

Unpopular af opinion and I'm not sure why. In "the greatest country in the world" you should be able to go to a doctor, any time in any state.

Idk, we could do so much better but we'll stay in this bullshit us vs them, rep dem "Fuck you guys!!!" Mode and nothing will change.

A lot of places have sliding scales that might help! It’s based off income so instead of $150 per session it might be $20-40 or something. It’s still expensive but more manageable. They should also have people who can help you get health insurance that works for you! I know it’s not a fix for the systemic issues of American healthcare but it might help you!

I have terrible anxiety trying to figure it all out. I hate that you have to jump through all these hoops. I just give up.

Im gonna go to dss in person in Washington and probably get on health insurance there since I just got on in CA but can only go in CA.

Also the last time I was going to get a bill based on my income i got fucked over so hard. Idk it works if you do certain things or get lucky but I keep getting fucked and I can't deal with it.

The fact that to even get mental health help you have to do a bunch of wild shit and then hope for the best. It's frustrating.

Idk just dope that people kill themselves all the time, or just live with fucked mental heslth issues and they can't just go see a doctor straight up. And then people will argue that this system makes the most sense because somehow they think it challenges whatever party they support.

I'll check into it though. At least I'm actively trying to figure it out regularly. Idk, and I'm not dead yet so that's good.

But yeah dss, is pretty much all I got. No way I can jump through all the hoops. I got a 27 page book about how easy getting insurance was. I didn't even read it. I started into it a bit and my anxiety. And then all the douchers are like "Well why can't you do better". And its like idk. Idk why I suck at this shit. Idk why i have crippling anxiety and depression. Id be down to not. I'm just trying to do my best and make it through this wild life.

Idk mad walls of text sorry. Just frustrated consistently.

That’s fair. Making appointments is so stressful lol so I feel you on that. Getting myself to call is like trying to take 8 steps at once so if you have to jump through hoops I can imagine that makes it a ton more challenging. Hopefully dss can help. And by hopefully like they definitely can. Social workers are miracle workers straight up. They know how to manipulate(idk if this is the right word) the system and get you the shit that you need. I hope it works out for you! Don’t give up!

Yeah the only other time I had health insurance i went to dss. No way i could have done it on my own.

Will be in a better spot knowing I can go to a doctor if I need to. But def gonna try and work out the mental health shit. Hoping I find somebody decent and it's beneficial. Idk brains are fucked. But I guess worst case ontario I've losely held it together to this point. Not doing any worse really than other times. Def just want to not feel shitty though.

I got $4k in financial aid for the summer semester. So obviously I paid the difference and my balance was 0 coming into the fall semester. I got another $12.5k in financial aid which I accepted and applied to this semester, which covered all of it and then some.

Now, in fucking November I'm being told that the summer financial aid doesn't exist... ??? But they offered it, I accepted it and they literally applied it to my account!! Now suddenly it just disappears? What the actual fuck. I have no proof of it. They are telling me none of that processed through their system and that I did not get any aid for the summer (but I fucking did).

So now I owe $4k and can't register for next semester. I have literally $50 to my name. Financial aid told me that loans won't cover past due balances. I'm trying to pay a fucking mortgage plus rent because fuck people and coronavirus. I literally can't pay this and will probably not be able to continue school and overall this is a fucking disaster in every sense of the word.

Trump is such a sore loser. Not surprising but damn. Was trying to watch jeopardy but it switched to this shit.


How dumb are people. These "secret" ballots that are Democrat are because a ton of people mailed them in in cities. In rural areas a lot of places have a 1 to 5 minute wait. When my buddy voted in person on election day near philly it was a multi hour line. He went back later and it was about 25 min. But idk why it's shocking that mail in votes from cities have a lot of Democrat votes whem cities generally go democrat.

It's a shame that a person in his power is convincing ignorant people that everything is a sham and a lie because he didn't win. I get it, he's always been like that but it's sad to see what he's doing now.

Can we go back to jeopardy please? Fuck this guy.

Yeah it's weird the people who support him. Idk it's a shitshow. I like seeeing his tweets and stuff but then when I see the whole douche cult following I don't really.

I guess it shouldn't be shocking that dumb people that believe whatever some pastor tells them were easily manipulated to blindly support this tool.

Idk. I dont like to see anyone in this spot. I don't even like to shit on people but whatever. People that think our government should be run by their misguided ideals, and that certain groups they don't like. I guess religion csn be the ultimate echo chamber. Especially if you only surround yourself with the church and people from it, as they're instructed to do.

Im glad I got away from that. I'm sure Im wrong about a lot of things but at least I'm willing to admit I'm wrong and engage in conversation with other people.

People on bith sides are way too attached to their bullshit beliefs.

A friend from high school i havent talked to in years called decided to @ me and call me a dumbass on a friends post about Oregon. Didn't add anything, or mention why the drug war was good, oregon was wrong , or why I was a dumbass. Gotta love it.

People are so stuck into their damn teams. If you say something, even factual that goes against their team, you might as well be saying fuck you to them I guess. They get angry, veins bulge, and yell at you.

I mean jesus fucking christ. How can you think anything you believe is even mildly correct if you can't take the smallest challenge to your beliefs.

It's just political sports balls. My team rocks your team sucks.

Ranting about things sorry. Idk im just over people's bullshit.
