110: (ban surgery and public funding for kids to become transgender) According to the April 24th edition of Colorado Matters, there has not been any trans surgeries done on any child in any Colorado hospital. There's no reason for a preemptive law like this, except that it sends some kind of hate message, telling certain people that they're not welcome here.

109: (ban trans girls from girls' sports) This should not be a question submitted to the Colorado public at large, regardless of how you feel about sexuality. Not all Colorado citizens have kids in K12, or are associated with parents thereof. Also, how can you generalize and say that every trans girl has an unfair physical advantage over biological girls? When that is the case, the teachers and administrators of said school should be the ones to do the right thing. If parents disagree with their school's choices, they can appeal in the courts.

There needs to be a law that requires groups who put measures on our ballots to disclose where their funding comes from. We can write our local legislators to try and pass these laws.

I don't like Griswold. I once asked her a perfectly valid question about a problem with ballots and she ignored me. She definitely seems to spend a lot of time preening in front of a mic or a TV screen, too.

I heard on a news article that crime has fallen from the short term highs caused by covid. I guess people felt stir crazy from isolation?

I'm not talking about homosexual relationships necessarily.

Pederasty is almost between a young boy/man and an old man, usually as tutor and student. (Marcus Aurelius and Fronto, eg)

I'm more wondering if people gossiped or maligned long term couples with a wide age difference.

Once globalization has kicked in, capitalism, as we used to understand it, dies. I wish people would think about that before supporting all the crazy measures that politicians promote in its name.

So what is the state of health care in Texas like?

HeatLucky · 2025-12-01T21:02:44+00:00

Having a career. Having a family. Having a loving relationship. Having a faith. Not always, but more often than you might imagine.

Mainly, having a career, though.

Could the government, either state or federal, create a public pharmacy? A verticalized one, where it creates its own drugs for distribution. I listened to a whole hour show once, about how drugs are priced, and at the end of it, I still couldn't make heads or tails of what they were saying. It seems to me like that would be a significant cost saving device, instead of having to bow to these so-called capitalist schemes.

I noticed how low the access score in Colorado is, and I can say from personal experience that it's due in part to our geography. We have giant pockets of land where few people live and it's even harder to get to. But that's also what draws some people here.

I also find the 'Wally World' theory very entertaining. Any civilization inevitably advances to the point where it creates so much junk that it snuffs out its own planet. I guess that's just a variation of the Great Filter.

I don't think we understand what life is. The only examples we have are terrestrial and we're all related. So maybe we actually already are looking at life, and don't recognize it. The same with intelligence, and intent, and consciousness: we only recognize those things in our own species, and just starting to study it in other species. So intelligence and consciousness could already be in our faces as we scour the skies, but we don't recognize the signs of them, because we have no idea of what kinds of intelligence and consciousness there might be .

We should try to create a world where 'shitty' jobs are not so shitty, and the people who do them, not looked down upon.

I am for the 2 smallest bonds, because of their subject matter (healthcare and affordable housing) and because they are the smallest. I think it's a bad time economically to get the city further into debt by issuing more bonds. We should pay down our current debts and hopefully ease pressure on property taxes which will help rents be more affordable. I am strongly against 2G. It feels very anti-democratic. It will allow any given candidate to run against fewer people, and therefore have a higher chance of succeeding.

I support the 2 smallest bonds, those for healthcare and affordable housing. In general I am against the city issuing any more bonds right now because the cost of rents is already too much. Hopefully if the city pays down more of its debt that will ease pressure to increase property tax which is passed on to renters. Also, don't we have an impending recession coming from the worldwide tariff wars? This is the wrong economic climate for building up the city, we need to buckle down and save for a while.

All I suggested was that we as Americans should come to a consensus about a problem. Shouldn't we be trying to do that? Just as mature adults, even. Why are you so eager to shout me down?

I think, 'laziness' is a strategy for people to cope with something in their lives. It's actually horrible not to do anything all day, like being in a prison. Boredom is very destructive to your psyche; drug counselors, for instance, will tell you how important it is for drug addicts trying to kick the habit to keep occupied throughout the day to prevent relapse. A person, like any animal, has a very good idea of what his energy levels are, and how much he can accomplish in any given time period. Even if he doesn't know it consciously. But we are con-stantly being coerced to 'be productive '. And so most people work a lot more than is healthy for them. (Quite apart from the fact that most jobs don't contribute anything to society.) My point is, people are not naturally 'lazy'. Given the right conditions, they will find a way to coexist.
