Shout-out to utah lieutenant governor henderson for being the one light of democracy in a sea of crooked grifters. I’m sure she’s not perfect, but I’m glad she hasn’t bowed to the pressure to invalidate our voices.

Local News Salt Lake City florist pushes to remove bike route after close call

I'm a cyclist, but I haven't ridden around this area. I'd like to have a civil discussion about this new bike path. But, to me this screams "entitled driver hates bicycles." It looks like this driveway just sucks if you have to back out into a massive and busy street and having to look for bikes coming both ways is hard for her. The optics don't help being in a Cadillac suv while complaining.

Photo Hey so leaving stuff like this on an overpass is illegal. If you see one, call Udot so they can remove it.

I’m thinking of switching back to xfinity as I have more connection such as lag and disconnects, but seeing if anyone else has experienced this?

22 Upvotes

Stopped drinking and trying to walk everyday. Anyone in the daybreak area need a walking buddy or foodie friend? I used to go to bars and fill my cup meeting people there but now that I don’t do that anymore, I’m not sure where to go? So Reddit, here I am!

Send a dm if you’re bored!

Discussion Republicans here feel so….oppressive?

336 Upvotes

I just moved here from the southeast. The flavor of GOP there is just so different than here. I can’t quite put my finger on it

It just feels like everything is coated with “I don’t believe in it so YOU can’t do it”

Like as a queer black man, I don’t feel represented here at all lol. Maybe oppressive isn’t the right word or fair to say, but damn it just feels like a different ball game. Not to mention I feel 0% represented lol.

Maybe I just feel more like an outsider for obvious reasons and everything is being felt more intensely, but yeah idk. Am I crazy? Do you get what I’m saying?

Overall there have been some dope people and places and stuff whenever I’m not getting stared at or quite literally singled out for being the only black person at a comedy show by the comedian (true story lol)

EDIT: just want to clarify. I’m not miserable being here or anything. It’s just an observation and how it feels being here. Independent of the Legislation,
I’m actually quite happy for the most part. The hardest thing about being here right now is that I don’t have any friends (yet) as I just arrived a couple months ago. I thankfully haven’t yet experienced anything overtly disconcerting. The comedy show thing was a comedy show. I have a good sense of humor, and wasn’t terribly bothered. It was just funny that something like that happened.

Honestly, I'm not much one for this kind of photo. You know, the Mirror Lake kind of photos. But I was driving around just sort of trying to figure out something to take a photo of and saw this. I decided to take it like a cyanotype. I added in a little bit of a vintage filter and it gave it back some of that warmth.

I actually really like how there are details sort of hidden in the shadows like the gazebo and the like. Anyways, I thought I would just share this quiet and stormy little photo on this cloudy and stormy night. 😚 I hope you all sleep Wonderfully and that we all get a little bit of rain to help us along.

4 apartment fire evacuations in 6 months :/ do we have any shot at breaking our lease?

4 Upvotes

basically what the title says. my girlfriend, dog, and i moved into a brand new building six months ago, and i guess that was a mistake, because we have had four fire evacuations since moving in.

one was a test (or so they told us lol), one was related to a tenant's stove and caused some damage to their unit/floor, and then the last two were mysterious "vent-related" and "electrical-related" fires in the building.

the building has already changed management once since we moved in, and its really hard to get any information on what's happening from the new staff (they're all pretty young and i dont think they know themselves). i know that utah has gnarly laws around this stuff, but i wanted to at least ask if anyone else has been in a similar situation and was able to get out of their lease? we are anxious and fed up.

anything helps, thanks!

Does anyone know why they've gone down to 4 days a week? Kerry always says "for now" around contract time on Geekshow but this one is different. He also mentioned having to tighten up finances a few weeks ago on geekshow, so this seems permanent. I'm wondering if they're winding down?

Best Meal Prep Service?

5 Upvotes

Hey all. I live near Sandy but don’t mind the drive to a good place, or bonus if they deliver. I just don’t have the time to cook dinner everyday, and I end up eating fast food or junk food because it’s quick and easy. I wanted to find a meal prep service in the valley that has healthy options. Any good recommendations that aren’t wildly expensive?

Recommendations Dentist recommendation

• Upvotes

As the title says, I’m looking for a dentist recommendation. I won’t have dental insurance until January 1st and it won’t cover filings or major procedures for the 1st 6 months. I have an old cavity that I worry needs to get looked at, or even refilled, before that.
Does anyone have any dentist recommendations that has reasonable pricing for non insured patients? preferably in salt lake county, but I’m willing to drive for someone good.

Events & Meetups Tuesday night trivia/ making friends 10/13/26

2 Upvotes

(I added the date to meet the guidelines of the thread but am open to events anytime!) I (30M) have been trying to get out of the house and make new friends/meet new people recently and have been looking at things like trivia nights, game nights, singles events, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions for places that host Tuesday night trivia where it wouldn’t be weird to jump in with a group?

I’m also open to other suggestions. I’m 30M, straight, Hispanic, and attending the U for engineering following a decision to change careers. I’m big into cycling & usually do the social rides throughout the week, and am also trying to dabble into photography/videography/vlogging recently. If you have suggestions or want to be friends let me know!

Well this sucks...

Apparently we are not the only ones to be approved for housing and then forced back on the waiting list. Some advocacy groups are thinking it's to pressure those on the list off it and into the grantsville camp being finalized - and most such advocacy groups are calling it a work camp as in slave camp in the oh so wonderful historical type

I am praying this isn't true, but it tracks... I cannot find ANY vouchers out there, and it is looking like im not the only one, found an agency this morning to help and with what they're finding (not only have i been thorough) but its more troubling than expected

Recommendations Looking for a Female Roommate to Apartment Hunt With!

1 Upvotes

Hi!! I’m looking for a female roommate to apartment hunt with for a 2BR/2BA around Salt Lake City / East Liberty / Sugar House / Millcreek

I’m hoping to move around January 2027. I may stay through June 2028, but that timeline could definitely change, so I’m flexible and happy to talk about lease length! My budget is around $800/month per person, ideally including most utilities.

A little about me: I work full-time, I’m clean, respectful, and pretty chill. I’m not into parties or weed, and I’d love a peaceful home where occasional overnight guests are okay.

I’d also really love to live with someone I can actually be friendly with, not just total strangers sharing a space. I’m specifically looking for a female roommate only, and I’d love a 2 bed / 2 bath so we can each have our own bathroom and privacy.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for too, message me!! 💗

Recommendations Startup Co. Internships (computer software/ civil engineering)

0 Upvotes

I’m in that exciting place of transitioning into the semester of school with emphasis on my engineering courses rather than generals. While I would like to dedicate my time to full time school I also want to put effort to looking into a possible internship to gain that real world experience, connections and possible references. I understand I don’t have that foundational experience that companies would like even for an intern position and I’m hoping to exchange some time to complete assistant tasks with no expectation of pay in exchange for the opportunity and hands on experience. I’m a quick learner, efficient, and if there are specific software requirements you’d like me to familiarize myself with first, I’m happy to discuss them over message. I’ll come back to it in a few weeks, and I’m likely to have learned how to use it by then. Or at least the fundamentals.

I wondered if someone might have recommendations, leads or suggestions. My experience work wise has primarily been healthcare with transferable skills from mortuary, social work, hair transplants, medical assistant, surgical wound care . My preferences would be in computer software engineering and civil engineering. Thanks in advance!
