Vote yes on prop 134 and 135

I think everyone in Colorado should vote yes on the three November measures, based on the ballot language.

Proposition 133 makes human trafficking of a minor for sexual servitude life in prison without parole. It is currently a class 2 felony, 8 to 24 years.

Proposition 134 says K-12 and college teams sponsored by a school or athletic association are male, female, or co-ed. Co-ed stays open. It does not set a genital check. The Blue Book says districts choose how sex is verified.

Proposition 135 bars surgery on a minor to alter sex characteristics because of a perception of sex or gender, and bars public funds from paying for it. Exceptions stay in place for disorders of sexual development and ordinary medical conditions

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Prop 133 concerns

Why are hardly any organizations taking a position on prop 133 this year?

I’m starting to research initiatives and all I’ve been able to really find besides the Protect Kids CO website is this statement from the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault stating 133 hurts victims and makes it harder for them to get help: https://ccasa.org/vote-no-on-proposition-133-this-november-colorado-coalition-against-sexual-assault-warns-colorado-voters-of-risk-to-victims-facing-life-in-prison.

It looks like a lot of victim groups, like the Colorado Children’s Alliance, have come out against it too. Having victims oppose it when says it protects victims and punishes traffickers screams dark money group pushing a sketchy initiative with other intentions to me….

Convince me Fort Collins food is more than pizza, sandwiches, and brewery food trucks. Please

Every time I eat out I end up somewhere that's fine. Not bad, just fine. Same menus, same "elevated" pub fare, and the highest compliment anyone gives is "it's good for Fort Collins."

I know the good stuff is out there. Show me the places that actually make you excited:

The hole in the wall you'd send a food snob to

Best meal you can get for under $20

Something that isn't pizza, a sandwich, or a burrito

The spot you'd be sad to see close

Bonus points for anything family run or hiding in a strip mall.

holy sh*t 300+ comments. Most named so far: Young's, Beijing Noodle (oil spill noodles and the green onion pancake), Madre, Raska, Las Delicias, Persimmon Indian: Star of India, Bawarchi, Sherpa Grill 2 Mexican: Taco Stop, Las 4 Americas, El Diablo Splurge: Little, Phillipe, The Still, Rare Wildcards: Sally's Kitchen in the Loaf n Jug on Harmony and Timberline, Babalu's, Waltzing Kangaroo, Kujira, Culture Alley truck (go early) Thank you all for showing up 🤘

RIP the sanity of all my line cook homies

I know parents weekend kicked our collective ass. Proud of you for not walking, staying hydrated, and keeping your heads in the game, no matter where you work. It was a long weekend. Get some rest 💜 I love you

Surplus of baby rats, need to go

I had adopted 3 rats, two girls and a boy. I was told they were all boys. Obviously, this has resulted in babies. The boy (Louis) got moved to his own cage with two of the babies who are for sure boys. I now have 17 rats that are 5 weeks old. I’m wondering where in the area takes surrenders of rats. They’re very sweet and I’ve been handling them every day so they’re completely fine with people.

Kids Bikes

I’m looking for suggestions for store fronts that sell used bikes for kids. I don’t want to go the FB marketplace route.
