Salt Lake City is cool and it’s less than 50% mormon there. Great skiing/snowboarding, great summer outdoors, bad winter air quality, mediocre public transit, mediocre jobs, great housing prices.

Really as long as you avoid Utah County to the south, then you’re fine. Don’t let the ‘stigma’ stop you from at least…

I had similar circumstances, moved to Utah when I was in kindergarten. Parents would literally tell their kids not to play with me because I wasn’t Mormon. People do weird, dumb shit when they’re part of a majority and you’re not.

Yes. Fuck these guys. Victims don’t need “amnesty” from something that A. isn’t their fault B. is a criminal act that deserves justice. Fuck this place.

My wife moved to Utah when she was in high school because her dad got a job as a mine geologist there. She said they always felt like outsiders. People were always coldly polite, but because she isn’t a Mormon she was excluded from most social activities.

Well, the church just barely stopped publishing a book by a dead prophet that says it’s more virtuous to die protecting yourself than to survive a sexual assault. So yeah. You did do something wrong. https://bycommonconsent.com/2016/04/28/rape-and-the-miracle-of-forgiveness/

They are doing this because the backlash isn’t going to help their falling membership numbers. Don’t be fooled into thinking they care about these women or other victims

Here’s what the new policy is going to be. No one is going to officially be punished in these situations anymore, it’s just going to take social ostracization to the next level, as cults are wont to do.

Utah’s one of those places I’d probably really like to live in if not for all the people there. Beautiful scenery, but easily the most unwelcoming state I’ve ever spent time in.

So to be clear, your stance here is that the victim is not strong-willed enough? That she should learn to not have a visual or emotion reaction (or I guess any reaction at all) when someone aggressively violates her personal boundaries? To not recoil when a hand reaches for your chest or groin? Because that’s weak…

I’m pretty sure that’s all this “god” fellow gives a fuck about.

Listen, I know you probably mean well but this is literally what I have been told my whole life as a woman. Police yourself, be higher than others, ignore all the many insults and the denigration. Basically, don’t do anything about it. Why is it on us to just put up with it, for being harassed for no other reason than…

Use a gendered user name, get gendered. Shoo, troll.

Completely, with adjustments:

100% agree but wished the mechanic worked like this. Would be hilarious to see this happen and give more fun closure to the incident I would think.

Because now they can’t sexually harass women in VR.

If there is one thing that was great in the perquels it was McGregor’s Obi Wan.

Adam Murphy is an artist based in Australia who over the past 25 years has worked as an animator and storyboard artist for studios like Disney and Lucasfilm.

I get the impression that you’re the sort of person who wouldn’t be able to pour water out of a boot even if the instructions were written on the heel.

Well, upon reading the article, I found this!

I would pre-order this
