On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Went snooping around on state facts and found this:

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/slideshows/these-are-the-10-fastest-growing-states-in-america

Utah is the fastest growing state if measured from 2010 (D.C. is not a state), its the second fastest if measured from 2019 (after Idaho) with 4% population growth in 2019 alone!

Is this just Mormon families or are people actually looking at Utah and thinking to themselves: I gotta get me a piece of that.

SLC is basically a shittier, smaller but more affordable denver, though to be fair the amount of nature is pretty insane. you can spend your entire life just exploring that state alone if you're into camping/hiking

a lot of tech firms are springing up there now as well since denver is becoming increasingly more expensive to set up shop in a recruit from the sticks

I lived in Utah pre-teen. Family was a catholic back then.
Best thing about it was all the mormons were in church all day Sunday, so during winter, that was the day to go skiing for hardly any crowds.

Alta, Snowbird, best snow on earth is no lie.

Like most states, it has some really beautiful outdoors and wilderness. Like most states, its all the drat people that gently caress it up.

Doesn't the NSA have some sort of office in Utah? Since mormons all go to foreign countries for their "mission" years, an extremely high percentage of the population is at least bilingual, making it great recruiting grounds of folks that speak a lot of languages.

Yes, the CIA is essentially run by Mormons at this point.

Do a GIS of the Bonneville Salt Flats Rocket Cars if you want to see something unique. Besides being starkly beautiful, it is also the place everyone goes to set land speed records for rocket cars, motorcycles, etc.

Honestly, I've always found it weird. I consider mormonism "the best capitalist religion" there is. Not a fan of religions in general, but their ability to mobilize and control their userbase is amazing. And they are spreading into northern California, Idaho, Washington, etc. Not just families, but the political and legislative bodies of those states.

I really don't get why they don't endorse alcohol and legal weed as they are such profitable industries. They conceded black people have souls so they would not lose their tax exempt status. It became okay to drink Pepsi when the church invested in Pepsico. Their health supplement industry leads the nation. Why not do weed and booze?

They're no scientology but they're pretty transparently evil like that, yeah.

Because nobody with a major global interest has sold anything to them and there's no government threatening them to be marginally less lovely.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

I'm not a big fan of the mormon church either, but I'm pretty sure this isn't actually a thing:

Counterpoint: I bet mormons are really bad at loving.

They have multiple wives, but lezzing out is strictly forbidden.

Pretty sure they're not allowed to do two chicks at the same time, either.

Also, that special underwear is to prevent them from masturbating in their sleep... like they're so sexually repressed that left to their own devices, they'd sleep masturbate and that's so unacceptable that they need straight jackets for their junk.

Yeah, not claiming they own Pepsi, but I am speaking from my experience in the years of roughly 1979-1982. When I was 8-11 years old. Sometime in that range, all the mormon neighbor kids were not allowed to drink soda pop drinks. Then overnight, it was all good! Pepsi and Mtn Dew could now be consumed, and I can tell you honestly that it was. Households never had it, and then the next day kids and moms had it in their shopping carts. I am not claiming that Mormons "bought Pepsi" but the word on the street, the explanation for all of us non-mormons was that the church had invested in it. I kid you not when I say I saw many mormon kid neighbors enjoying a soda for the first time, literally overnight.

It was like "hey mom! Jeff and Gavin and Angela and Todd and Trevor can all drink soda pop now!"
"Yes honey, their church invested money into those products so they are allowed to drink it now."
