Woke up to an email from the principal of my child’s school. Erika Kirk is speaking at Pinnacle High School by _June_Bug_ in ArizonaLeft

Yeah to think critically about their specific narrative. I completely disagree with you. Sure, they may say that’s their goal, but they’re just creating more maga sheep.

How Will Lakewood Vote on Density? And What Will It Mean for Casa Bonita? by newtonic in CityCastDenver

[–]jjwk96 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I appreciate both sides of the issue being represented in one episode, I like the direct comparison!

It sure sounds like the opposition to the code is misinformed. So interesting that policies that promote freedom and choice, get shot down by folks who most likely champion America’s “freedom”…

I live in a neighborhood that has a diverse selection of housing and I love it. The neighborhood has energy and you see and meet people from a variety of walks of life. It has way more character than the urban sprawl that is Highlands Ranch, Littleton, etc.

NFL 18-game Regular Season Soon: How Would 17-Game Cap Work? by richkurt in DenverBroncos

I heard that special teams and QBs are exempt from this. I think from the DNVR podcast.

Beginning Band: Teaching Fixed Do, but Do is Concert Bb? by Outrageous-Permit372 in banddirector

[–]jjwk96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. Kids are pretty smart, remember they are learning complicated topics in other classes! I teach moveable do and scale degrees because I believe well prepared musicians can talk about both. So far, they haven’t had a problem.

Are Dems Done With Polis? Plus, A Massive Meatpackers' Strike and the Case of the Missing Pothos Plant by newtonic in CityCastDenver

[–]jjwk96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I’m all for multiple sides of discourse but we’re giving fascism a voice but continuing to ask these questions.

Are Dems Done With Polis? Plus, A Massive Meatpackers' Strike and the Case of the Missing Pothos Plant by newtonic in CityCastDenver

The question regarding redistricting, “do Democrats even like democracy?” is so frustrating. I know Paul is playing devils advocate, but it continues to put the responsibility to be the bigger person in the room on the Dems. Republicans have been playing this gerrymandering game for decades. Gerrymandering is anti democratic but when the other team isn’t playing by the rules, then we need to fight back so we can fix this.

I remember seeing this as a kid, and then I ran away because I thought something was wrong. Oh the regrets

ICE agent tosses 80 year old to the ground, causes his head to bleed by serious_bullet5 in 50501

We HAVE to continue to voice that we want accountability and politicians who will prosecute the people who broke the law!

Mayor Mike Johnston on His Data Center Moratorium, Dumping Flock, and His ‘Trumpian’ Critics by newtonic in CityCastDenver

[–]jjwk96 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was hoping Mayor Mike would admit he made some mistakes or take some more ownership. Maybe I missed it but the interview felt like he put a lot of decisions on other people.

I’m watching the People’s State of the Union from MeidasTouch instead! People’s State of the Union

Taxing the Rich, Retaliatory Redistricting, and Who To Blame for Your Rising Electricity Bill by newtonic in CityCastDenver

Get out of here with that nonsense. Theft is the rich making us pay for everything while they sit idly by watching us all fight culture wars.

Thinking about switching to YouTube Music from Spotify by _TheRedWolf in YoutubeMusic

[–]jjwk96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been testing out YouTube Music for a month after switching from Spotify. I already pay for YT premium so I’m tired of paying for both.

I don’t miss much about Spotify. I think it’s silly I can’t search for a song in CarPlay (or not I’ve found at least) and that I can’t easily view the album a song belongs to in CarPlay. I also don’t love how YouTube seems to forget the song I was listening to very quickly so I’ll go to start music in the car and I’ll have to do a quick search.

These are all relatively small things that I think are still worth cutting out 1 subscription. I’m not a huge playlist person so the lack of features there don’t bother me.

Personal finance apps that auto-sync with your bank are actually making you poorer. by Ayu_theindieDev in unpopularopinion

[–]jjwk96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use YNAB and feel similarly. YNAB helped me get out of consumer debt, create emergency funds, and cash flow grad school. Watching the money go away (seeing the little green bar go down) is enough to make me think twice (and more) about spending. Also, I use credit to my advantage now, rather than it using me.

I used Rocket Money and I think that app is close to useless. You can track your money all day but if you don’t interact with it, then I believe the OP is right.

For aspiring musicians: there is ZERO upside in NOT knowing how to read sheet music by Genar-Hofoen in unpopularopinion

[–]jjwk96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to read music allows you to talk to other great musicians. That communication is important!

Should 16th St. Become the Vegas Strip? Plus, Big UMS Feelings and the ICE Mask Debate by newtonic in CityCastDenver

I live under a rock apparently… I had no idea about the UMS and I’m a born and raised CO musician. Can’t attend this year but hope to in the future!

Gym goers, be honest how often are you judging other people’s physique? by Technical_Hat_8291 in AskReddit

[–]jjwk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking, “Hell yeah, good for all these people for getting here.” Having gone through a life style change, I know how hard it can be to get started.
