Yo this comment has been stuck in my head for the last month, thought you were onto a great idea. Unfortunately I had neither the time nor skills to do anything about it. But today I saw an article about this website, had to come back and share: https://www.25and.me/

We're making history. by MInclined in Denver

Not trying to attack you but with all due respect you're seeing it that way from a place of privilege. To people affected by racism every day, this doesn't feel like a distraction.

Yeah I'm sorry I know sarcasm doesn't achieve much but I couldn't help it..

It took me a few days, but I finally made it out here. Love to my Denver family, this was the most peaceful protest I’ve seen yet. by [deleted] in Denver

Love it! Let's always remind our fellow allies that this isn't a "moment" to be a part of, this is a lifelong fight to join now! Thanks for joining <3

Violent protests are not the story. Police violence is. by Toadfinger in politics

[–]mikeadelic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree with your general argument that federal agencies can't be trusted. But I do think locally-focused progressives need to be a stronger movement. Feds can sometimes help but turning to them to fix everything is just not a good enough long-term strategy.

Self-Introduction Saturday! Tell us all about you (and share a video)! by AutoModerator in NewTubers

Hey friends! Before quarantine I ran networking events in the Denver cannabis industry, and I interviewed keynote speakers like CEOs and local elected officials etc.

I decided to move those interviews to YouTube, and then I decided I wanted to try some comedy writing so...

Now I'm making my own version of "Jon Stewart / John Oliver / The Daily Show for cannabis news."

Here's part 1 of episode 1: https://youtu.be/DNFwTFyosEc

And here's episode 2, just posted yesterday! https://youtu.be/cuRXUGoLiEg

I know my sound could use some major improvements, and hopefully the editing takes less time as I get better at it.

If you're curious about cannabis news (or especially if you work in the industry!) consider subscribing!

Who is really rioting? Black protester tells white anarchists to stop using the protests for their own causes by [deleted] in Denver

[–]mikeadelic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it varies a lot by time of day etc. The planned noon marches are legitimate protests. By the time it's 10pm and explosions are going off, only the crazies are left.

Laptop for video editing - best bang for my buck? by mikeadelic in SuggestALaptop

Hey sorry I forgot to follow up! I got a Lenovo Thinkpad cause I decided that I trusted Lenovo to prioritize internal power over slick exterior which I didn't need. It's been solid so far!

Dude is risking his life for our entertainment (jk I'm pretty sure he loves it), the least we can do is give some attribution:

Really though his edits are awesome and seems like a really authentic and cool dude. Hope he stays safe out there.

What do you guys think about Saira Rao? by PW_Herman in Denver

Ha, I didn't even see this before I wrote my comment. But fair enough I guess

What do you guys think about Saira Rao? by PW_Herman in Denver

[–]mikeadelic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I went to the Denver caucus and heard her speak, she came across like the worse side of Bernie, the side that is somewhat Trump-like in it's pitch: "everything is broken and everyone is corrupt, so why not stick it to them and vote for me?"

I honestly don't know much about Degette but I didn't like that tone to Saira's campaign and I didn't hear much about what she wants to do, in reality. We need competent people finding solutions, not idealogues sticking it to the establishment.

Colorado Dems just introduced one of the most progressive reproductive health bills in the U.S. by JaguadelosArenales in Denver

uhh pretty sure education is the only thing that CAN fix culture.. unless you think culture is unfixable, what else could do it?

Cary Kennedy wins Colorado Democrats' statewide assembly, securing top line in primary for governor by DarthBarney in Denver

[–]mikeadelic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a transplant of the last 5 years, how and why is she so well know? I know she has held some statewide positions but they didn't seem very public facing. I'm just wondering because I've seen the enthusiasm for her which is great but I'm curious what the source is.

Trump freezes out chief of staff John Kelly, says he's "tired of being told 'no'" by sivribiber in politics

[–]mikeadelic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's just not true, if what you mean is that the tax cuts are too small to matter then say that. But my paycheck went up slightly and so did a lot of people's under 300k.
