MrJameGumb, to til in TIL that the Mormons have one fund worth over $100 billion
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

You mean a church that was founded on a science fiction story created by a conman is hiding money??? 😲😲😲

Who would have ever thought such a thing possible???

mustardman,

All you need to do is remove the word “science”, otherwise you’re just describing Scientology as the other person mentioned.

PeleSpirit,

Are you referring to the golden plates or are you confusing this one with Scientology? Either way, we’re not sure if they’re hiding money anymore, lol.

Not just golden plates! There were plates, an enchanted seeing stone, and a magical hat too! 🎩🪄

turtlepower,

Don’t forget the magical underwear!

I’m still trying to figure out where the golden bicycle comes in

you use it to ride to the golden shower.

Bonehead,

Now that is a mental image I was not expecting today...

turtlepower,

Picture this…

A man wearing nothing but magical underwear riding on a shiny golden bicycle down the street. He approaches a trellis with beautiful naked women sitting atop it, with their legs spread wide…

Bonehead, (edited )

Yeah, that's exactly what I was already picturing...

Salamendacious, to news in 17 years later, DNA leads to second arrest in reported sexual assault of Utah teen

Twelve years would pass before the sexual assault kit was tested in 2018

It took 12 years to test the rape kit!

That’s horrifying.

In 2022, at least 25,000 untested rape kits sat in law enforcement agencies and crime labs across the country. This figure only accounts for data reported by 30 states and Washington, DC; the total backlog number is unknown.

usafacts.org/…/how-many-rape-kits-are-awaiting-te…

yenahmik,

How many people have been assaulted by someone who would’ve been caught if a previous victim’s rape kit had been processed in a timely manner?

It’s absolutely sickening to think of…

girlfreddy,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

An abandoned Detroit warehouse that was once used by the police department to store evidence provides a perfect example of the negligence that rape kits are treated with. In 2009, the deputy chief of the special victims unit in Detroit visited the property and discovered piles of black garbage bags and emptied oil drums filled with 11,341 abandoned rape kits, some of them dating back to rapes from the 1980s—all of them untested.

This has been going on for years and years and years.

FlyingSquid, to news in How Utah became the birthplace of the once-lucrative wilderness therapy industry for ‘troubled teens’
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The ‘trouble’ that many of those ‘troubled’ teens were having, according to their parents, was being attracted to teens the same gender as they are.

@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Programs took struggling teens from across the country and hiked them through Utah’s hot deserts, with the promise to parents that their approach would fix a child’s behavioral issues, substance use problems or other mental health struggles.

These are just conversion therapy camps for parents who won’t parent. It’s torture and child abuse. Like shipping your kid to military “school” or boarding school where they never see their parents again.

And then came the real, licensed therapists screaming, “WTF, stop this! This is terrible! These kids need actual therapy, not this torture!”

Torturing “troubled teens” by forcing them through various gruesome and grueling tasks does not - much to the chagrin of sadistic monsters worldwide - somehow magically “fix” them. The concept of “gumption” or just “trying hard enough” doesn’t get a person though complex psychological problems.

A person can’t just “walk it off” when it comes to serious shit, and that’s why societies need serious support systems for everyone. And that begins with Universal Healthcare for everyone.

thefartographer,

Sorry, we can’t afford to give you insurance. We’ve got plenty of dessert, though!

gregorum,

but even that comes at a price

thefartographer,

Just dignity and humanity

qantravon,

And that price goes right into their pockets.

IamSparticles,

maculata, to politics in Utah Rep. Celeste Maloy endorses Trump’s plan for mass detention and deportation of migrants

She should be put into her be there f those camps as soon as possible. Stupid bitch.

just_another_person, to politics in Utah Rep. Celeste Maloy endorses Trump’s plan for mass detention and deportation of migrants

I’m all for people trying to find a better life, and I understand why they come here. Unfortunately, those very same people breaking the existing laws are stoking the flames these ignorant and bigoted assclowns use to sow racial division via their idiotic arguments. The more people that come in illegally, the more these arguments make sense to certain people.

We need better immigration control, that is for sure. We can’t just let EVERYBODY in. What that looks like, I have no idea, but the vast majority of people making it in to sidestep certain immigration laws are not using the proper channels now anyway, so things seem completely broken. This is not just people walking across the Southern border either, there are plenty of wealthy folks from elsewhere sidestepping the laws as well.

Rapidcreek,

Asking for asylum is not only legal in the US, but in international law. To seek asylum you must stand on US soil.

just_another_person,

Seeking asylum would be the “proper channel”. Just walking across the border is not the same as requesting or applying for asylum. This is my point exactly.

Rapidcreek,

How would you get to US soil to seek asylum?

just_another_person,

There are ports of entry specifically for this purpose. rescue.org/…/it-legal-cross-us-border-seek-asylum

You don’t need to sneak into the country and THEN request asylum. You could also drive, fly, or boat, just so long as you declare your request for asylum at the proper port of entry.

I’m not here arguing the law, or the process, this is just how it is at current, and has been in flux for decades. The problem is that the more people don’t follow these procedures, the more the anti-immigration lobby gets their point made and succeeds in all the fear mongering tactics they employ.

Rapidcreek,

Well, first you have to have an appointment for a point of entry, and in the US you could wait weeks, if not months for that date. But, think what you must.

just_another_person,

No. As the link says, anyone requesting asylum at a point of entry will not be turned away. Before you start spouting equally as ignorant shit about the process, get informed. You’re just as idiotic as the bigoted assholes on the other side of your argument. Be better than that.

WamGams,

To my understanding, the majority of undocumented immigrants are here legally, seasonally. They just don’t return to their home country in whatever off season for their industry is.

So it is important to remember that many of the “illegals” we are dealing with, are only sometimes illegal. And I hate saying it, but during the off season, they are very likely to be victim of literal slave labor, either through lack of payment, paying an illegally low amount, and even human trafficking.

Whenever fox news starts showing videos of buses of migrants coming to the border with the federal government doing nothing, that’s just footage of seasonal farm workers entering the country.

We are dealing with a humanitarian issue with global causes and consequences.

just_another_person,

Again, my point is not about the why/how people come here. Just about the people who may be twisting the reality for their own purposes. I’m just talking about the mechanics, not the justifications.

Ellecram,

I recently watched the following program on PBS: Nazi Town, USA which described the rise of fascism in America at the same time as the Nazis in Germany. It was an eye opening experience and one that has a hauntingly similar essence to our current situation in the USA.

Let’s deport this bitch and half or Utah while we’re at it. I think all these fucks should go to some maga freedom farm island somewhere deep in the Atlantic and just stay there rubbing trumps nipples

To be fair, one can’t exactly choose one’s relatives. Not that this one really deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point.

Yes but then you see what she supports and it’s the same stuff as her terrorist relatives…

Well yes, but that’d be a no regardless of who she’s related to

Aside from the Fourth Amendment violations, the family separations, the astronomical costs and hyper inflation driven labor shortages in ag, construction and service industries, it will go swimmingly.

America has shown that Amendment rights are not concrete and will be ignored when convenient. As for the economy, they profoundly do not care.
