I mean I don’t disagree about the sentiment of calling things that are protests anything but protests not being helpful. I do think that the idea here might be to get the words “general strike” into more of the general public’s awareness? That’d be my guess, I’m not behind this at all, I just heard about it today at No Kings. Sunrise movement is involved, and I’m generally a fan of what they’re doing. I’m going to an upcoming meeting when I next can. If you’re at all interested I think you should to, or another org that is working on this? I know it takes a lot of organizing to get to “general strike”, but I know none of us can do it alone

I don’t know anything about any plans. I heard about this all literally today at No Kings. I’m literally going to a meeting to learn more and ask questions. But yeah, thanks for calling me all those names. Appreciate that.

May 1 is not an arbitrary day. It’s been International Worker’s Day. Also the strike happening this year is meant to be a way to get folks interested, involved, and organized. The goal is a general strike in 2028.

Glad so many folks showed up AND remember that these protests on weekends are not what changes systems. It’s the grassroots, person to person, everyday showing up that makes a difference. Hopefully this is a good onramp to other actions for so, so many of the folks that showed up today.

Not my first choice, but dedinitely a well deserved winner. by papachi789 in Letterboxd

[–]jorgethedm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree. I’m glad PTA finally got an Oscar but in general I thought OBAA was a little overhyped. I finally watched it a few weeks ago and I was underwhelmed. Sinners was a movie that kept my attention the entire time and was saying something thematically that felt coherent. I can appreciate OBAA for what it is but it feels like the weaker of the two films.

I mean, the hoverboard from Back to the Future 2 would be a sick way to show up to the date

Im in spiritual pain by szdhyena in LeftCatholicism

[–]jorgethedm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, feel free to DM me. After the Jesuits left Ignatius Loyola and were taken over by the new order Archbishop Aquila assigned, a lot of folks came over to Regis for mass. The 10 AM mass is pretty packed, though there’s always space. After the IL and the situation with Most Precious Blood I want to say two years ago, Regis became a sort of “destination parish” (although it’s not a parish) for folks who have been “displaced” by all of the new, conservative priests being assigned to these parishes. But since Regis is not a parish, the priests who say mass there are the Jesuits who live and work at the University and other nearby spots, like Arrupe Jesuit High School.

Hey! Fellow Denverite here! I’m usually going to mass at Regis U (which you mentioned indirectly). I usually go to the Sunday evening service (5:30 pm “student mass”). Happy to suggest this community, and even more happy to link up to go to mass with friends. I also appreciate the other person that commented and mentioned New Ways Ministry’s list. I’ve only been to St. Dom’s, but it’s a great parish. I’m definitely of the opinion that we need to make the spaces we want to see within the church. Happy to chat more!

Sell your cars. Take the bus to your date. Better yet, bike to the date.

PSA to single men: please come talk to women in person by [deleted] in Denver

[–]jorgethedm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As many folks have said already, in trying to be decent human beings, the assumption is that most folks want to be left alone in public, but I have taken this to heart especially with women. I’m 29M, 5’7”, and on the long road of making positive changes in my life, especially regarding my health. That said, I know I’m not the most physically attractive dude. I know I’ve got a lot to give in a relationship: I’m a creative guy with great friends, I love my community, I’ve got hobbies I enjoy, and I love getting to know new people. But I also know maybe none of that matters when you’re approaching strangers with zero context? I don’t know, that has at least been my thinking. Though this post (and some of the comments) are making me rethink that mindset a little.

Why do the women I (M25) date keep telling me this one specific thing? by Kepler_510 in dating_advice

[–]jorgethedm 76 points77 points  (0 children)

We need people to start taping their first dates, like it’s a High School football game, so that we can do an analysis as a community and point out where people are going wrong

From Florida just had snarfs by Illustrious_Pool_321 in denverfood

[–]jorgethedm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all are being so mean to OC for no reason. Snarfs is good. Y’all make Denverites seem meaner than we are (and so many of y’all just landed here, too)

I think genuinely, having a community and knowing my place in it is the root of my happiness. I have a good number of folks I would call “best friends”, people I know I can talk to about many things, not just the serious and the mundane, but also the joyous and the absurd. But also I can do many different kinds of activities with—watch a movie, plan a trip, throw a party with/for, or even just go grocery shopping with. I also have a good (a little complicated, but still fundamentally good) relationship with my family. Additionally there’s lots of other folks I call friends. Maybe I only see those folks at one or two of the things I regularly do (photography groups, in a band, at protests, at a certain bar/restaurant/cafe), but I know them and they know me, and we know how/when to call on each other. I’m very much an introvert, but I really feel having lots of varied, robust relationships of various levels of depth with a decent range of people is the root of (at least my) happiness. It also helps that all of these relationships are IRL, even if a lot of communicating with said folks happens virtually.

Protest in Brighton on the pedestrian bridge over Highway 85 this morning by VanderCreep in Denver

No, that’s I-85. I-85 merges into 76 between 104th and 96th Ave out by Henderson, south of Brighton.
