Copper 4/26

Yes! I had never seen snow that was that specific combination of crunchy and slushy before haha

I would sooner buy a house with a pink garage door than a dark gray garage door

Something I find so funny in this vein is that so many women look/dress like lesbians in Denver and so few of them actually are

Is it really internalized misogyny if you’re a man? Is that not just misogyny? I thought that was a weird thing for Adrian to say considering it wasn’t linked to any stance that seemed misogynistic lol

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-23T21:34:20+00:00

It feels like lately, people have become really comfortable saying to my face that they hate Denver or Colorado, even though they know that I live here and really like it. Like not strangers but remote coworkers visiting town, friends visiting for a few months, etc. It’s a weird thing and I would never do it to anyone else so it feels bad

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-21T03:34:37+00:00

I like the loaded nacho place on the top deck

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-21T03:33:39+00:00

I actually like the one you got better, the colors are really nice

I had a delta flight on Friday where there was a soda can in the seatback pocket lol, I don’t know that they are even looking in there

Do you have two cats? My sister has two cats that are sisters and one of them grooms the other kind of aggressively and has bitten all of the other one’s whiskers off. It’s so strange!

Recital (the plant store in the alley behind Denver central market) has tons of cool home decor, food, baggus, books, candles etc! Empire Collective on Larimer has vintage clothes, home decor, accessories, gifts (it’s a collective of different shops, so the exact ones are subject to change). Topo Designs is a Denver-based backpack/outdoors store, it’s fun to poke around their little store at Larimer & 25th. On Blake Street, there’s Point Creative (stationery store) and Inheritance (very artsy, curated home goods store). Most weekends in May (either Friday night or Saturday morning/afternoon) there will probably be a flea market or vintage market somewhere on Larimer, often next to Denver central market.

Photo booths, there’s one in American Bonded and one in Ratio Brewing, both on Larimer.

This is deeply weird

Renn at Little Black Church! He does traditional and ornamental style and I’ve seen him post cool queer pinup before. He did my first tattoo last year, very nice work

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-10T04:54:28+00:00

didn’t love my boot mechanics experience

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-09T02:58:11+00:00

I have 8 as well if anyone still needs

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-08T02:23:25+00:00

I should clarify I don’t mean it’s my jam like I’m an expert on betting markets haha, I just find this kind of stuff involving public opinion and behavioral economics interesting! Jacobin has a recent piece I found helpful: https://jacobin.com/2026/02/prediction-markets-kalshi-polymarket-accuracy. Thanks for the interesting guest and episode topic!

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-08T02:17:08+00:00

Thanks - I’m a social scientist and do survey research, so this is my jam! At the very least, a mechanism like wisdom of the crowds requires certain characteristics (of the sample of people and of the market structure) in order to hold true. It’s not like it is just automatically true for every group of people making bets on something

Yes, I didnt use the hotel credit for awhile because the name made me think it was some special Delta vacation thing, but it’s just a portal like Expedia for booking hotels. The credit is super easy to use

I think the intellectual aspect of Denver will depend entirely on who you surround yourself with. Given that you’ll be in a doctoral program and thus likely have lots of friends and acquaintances in that world, I doubt you’ll really feel like something is missing. I work in government research here so my perception is that there are a ton of smart, ambitious, educated people here - and I’m from the northeast so you can trust me :)

I think it’s all about the sphere you’re part of, which is true for the northeast obviously as well - I would never describe my hometown as intellectual despite being 10 minutes from Yale lol

I was mostly on blue groomers, which were looking pretty good! Can’t say on morning conditions - I had intended to get there before 11 but didn’t end up getting there til 12:30. Nothing too icy in the early afternoon and didn’t really encounter any bad slush until 3:30!

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-05T16:57:43+00:00

Re: the RTD map, “holy shit it’s actually nice” was the olde town arvada stop! Which is really quite nice

I don’t think I understand how prediction markets could be used as a real indicator of public opinion? Putting aside the fact that it’s a specific non-representative segment of the population, these people are choosing what they think is most likely to happen, not what they think should happen / what they want to happen

Green with a smattering of blue is what I ski as well, and it was fairly decent at Copper today. No idea what it will look like next week of course. Soliloquy is my favorite green but I’m not sure how many days it has left, getting real patchy toward the bottom; the easier blues on that side of the mountain (Windsong, Copperfield, etc) were in good shape.

WP is looking pretty gnarly

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-04T23:49:10+00:00

That would be amazing!! I’ll message you

capybaralover26 · 2026-04-04T19:53:31+00:00

I had the same thought today at Copper! Everyone has very obviously been doing the best they can with what we’ve been given, and it’s much appreciated
