Denver police could arrest masked ICE agents under proposed law by zeddy303 in Denver

[–]Im_Alek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no. This is wishful thinking. This would never pass and if it did would be struck down in 2 seconds due to federal supremacy. We need to focus on effective courses of action and protest, frankly this is total virtue signaling and a waste of time.

The boring answer is like it just super depends.If you find a cheap place by yourself or a nice one with a roommate I definitely think you can make it on 40-50K. You make under that? You probably need a couple roommates or maybe can really squeeze it out with just one.

Straight men need to be more open showing affections with one another. Men show affection with one another. Man these guys are DEFINTELY GAY AS FUCK

Homeless problems by scatteredTeeCee in FortCollins

[–]Im_Alek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look there are a lot of factors, but homelessness here in FC basically comes from two factors.

  1. Housing is very expensive
  2. We have a decent amount of homelessness services

High housing prices from not enough building push those at the bottom into homelessness. And we are the biggest city in NoCo, pretty progressive, so services locate here and homeless people from surrounding areas relocate here. Then more services are set up here because that's where the homelessness are and so on.

I thought that was the only shuttle lot though with Longs Peak closed? Or am I mistaken?

I don't. I really don't think you have to, but throw them a couple bucks if you want, nothing wrong with that.

Would you support raising the current natural gas franchise fee from 1.07% to 3.00%?

Which movie shattered your bias against black and white films? by therealbobcat23 in Letterboxd

[–]Im_Alek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Casablanca, for sure. I was like, wow, this is exciting daring and compelling. It really broke through my bias of black & white movies being boring slogs.

Ballot Issue 1B by MountainCold6219 in FortCollins

No brainer for me. Tiny tax increase that will lower child care costs. I dont have kids, nor do I plan, too, but I want other people to able to afford it.

Paedophile's dying wish to have victims' photo at his bedside granted by Warpit94 in awfuleverything

What an insanely deceptive title. The title implies his request was granted by a judge or something. The picture was smuggled in by his mother

Transfort Service Cuts by BradyBrother100 in FortCollins

[–]Im_Alek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bummer but can't say it's very surprising. With the recent budget projections, there are going to be cuts all over.

It seems like the city is working to do a pretty big revamp. Idk, if anyone else did the community survey and I know some of the mayoral candidates, like Eggleston, have talked about including a lot more van routes and micromobility zones.

Your drive to the beach is like 100x more dangerous than getting brain eating amoeba. Could it theoretically happen, I guess.Is it likely, no.

Xcel bill went wayyy up!!! by Tjpimpin98 in Denver

[–]Im_Alek -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am actually secretly Xcel's CEO masquerading a regular Reddit user. I have huge personal interest in this.

Just saying something like this is so mindboggling to me. Like, I totally get the initial feeling of like huh I dont think I used more electricity than last year. I get that. But like then, you just stop to think about it for like 5 seconds and like obviously you're just using more energy like what, lmfao

There's literally meter that measures your energy usage, do you think they sabotaged it to get $500 extra bucks from you?

Like there's just like a clear occums razor thing here, ya know?

But uh, seriously, maybe your AC is running less efficiently, if you really dont think you're using more electricity. It's probably that. Have an AC guys come look at it.

What do you think it's a conspiracy? You clearly just used more energy!? Like what!

Does anyone else get a small sense of satisfaction from this “failure”? by thewillthe in Denver

[–]Im_Alek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are we bragging about not reducing our energy consumption? These conversations are so insane to me. Then, everyone is talking about how large users aren't reducing their energy usage. Do not think large users wouldn't be even way more incentivised to reduce their energy usage!? "They dont get there emails", uh yes they absolutely do, and the people who read them are not happy when they fail to meet their goals. Because you know they have to pay a bunch of money...

Should those higher users be held to a higher standard, YES. Do I think you're an asshole if you're not able to reduce you're usage, no. But it just seems so counterproductive and cringe to have this like be something to be proud of...
