I’m in Denver and loving it so far. We haven’t gotten connected to the LGBT community much here yet, partly because we already knew some people here and partly because it feels like we’re still pretty new. That said, it sometimes feels like the gays in our building outnumber everyone else, especially when you visit the pool on the weekend lol. In a time when gay bars are getting rarer even in major cities, I’m happy with the offerings in Denver. Though I haven’t been to NYC in a bit, but I’m sure it can’t measure up on that front.

Also generally the climate of the city is gay-friendly. It’s a small thing, but pride flags of all colors are all over the city this month (well, and not just this month either). People are generally chill and open-minded, so I’ve felt comfortable being myself here.

I’m in Denver and we actually just renewed our lease and they didn’t raise our rent one cent! I can hardly believe it, and we live in a nice building too. I guess because we aren’t at capacity they just want us to stay.

Interesting, I adore my switch. I love my deck for its capabilities (e.g., modding) but I’ll usually buy a game on the switch if I have the option. For me, it’s much more comfortable to use for extended time whereas the deck is heavy enough that it’ll give me wrist pain for long sessions. The battery difference is underrated here too. It’s nice traveling or hell even on the couch to not have to worry much about battery on the switch.

Safety is my main concern and I actually received an ebike rebate from CO. I ultimately decided to not purchase one because my commute to work didn’t feel safe enough; I’ll stick with public transit. Denver’s not the bike-friendliest city but I can’t even imagine biking in most of the rest of the country’s cities.

I’ve seen LGBT lobby and Rainbow Mafia thrown around too. Anything to dehumanize and attempt to paint us as some faceless and unreasonable oppressors.

I’d agree with your statement in isolation, but

Valve forever more have my support

sure sounds a lot like the definition of loyalty:

“a strong feeling of support or allegiance“

Apparently this developer was brought on specifically for the 1.4 and 1.5 updates.

Upvotes ideally don’t equate to agreement though.

That’s me with Psych. The show is beyond uncomfortable humor.

I’ve been trying to be more present. I too easily find myself always eyeing the next target, thinking that’ll stave off this existential emptiness lol.

At the risk of sounding like a self-help book, the pain or discomfort of the present serve their purposes. It’s helped me remind me to appreciate my partner in the here and now as well, so that’s been a plus :)
