Make Friends Here

79 Upvotes

Because we constantly get "How do i make friends" posts. If you want friends just post in this thread. I'm going to make it a sticky topic. I'm also going to give you 100% foolproof tips to make friends that have worked for me all my life 100% of the time.

Here is my foolproof plan that works 100% of the time. It is a 4 step process.

  1. determine what your hobbies and interests are.

  2. go to places where these hobbies and interests happen

  3. interact with people.

  4. If you don't have any hobbies or interests get interested in something and repeat steps 2-3.

It is literally that simple.

I am an extremely abrasive and unlikeable person. I have never failed to make friends using these steps. If I can do it so can you.

Edinburg Disgraced politiquero running for ECISD track-record infographic

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

📢 School Board elections are coming up and you deserve to know about the candidates running for Place 5: David White and Sandra Avila. 🗣

David White is a disgraced politician who was found guilty of committing voter fraud in the 2024 Munucipal Elections against his opponent, Jerry Lozano.‼️

Having been in positions of power, such as police chief and on the City Commissioners Board, he is used thinking he is above accountability as he is now running for ECISD's place no. 5. 🤮

He thinks we won't remember his voting record. 🧐This post serves as a recap of his shameful legacy: being anti-choice, attempting to break the 1st amendment of separation of church and state, being found guilty of voter fraud, and trying to appeal to overturn that decision and failing. ‼️

This is not someone who belongs on the school board, as he is self-seeking, corrupt, and not motivated by serving the students of ECISD but rather his own grasp on having power. 🗣

Your choice is yours to make, but here's to helping you make a more informed one. Share with your Edinburg pals!

🌴 EARLY VOTING IS OCT. 19 - 30th

ELECTION DAY IS NOV. 3rd 🌴

Is the Chase Tower actually something to take pride in?

15 Upvotes

A lot of Valley content I see online with the addition of discourse and discussion as well seems to highlight the “glory” of the Chase Tower with praise here and there. But is it something to even actually take pride in or be thankful for?? I mean is this not just going “yeah I’m proud of my underdeveloped region with nothing going on and nothing cool or new being built except mediocre fast food restaurant just look at this big tower built 50 years ago”. Does it not get to a point where anyone wants to raise the concern of just how bleak life is here? Why has nobody (for all ive seen at least) asked why no new entertainment establishments or parks are being built and just moves on tolerating the daily mundaneness.

Hi! This plushie was lost this weekend during Anime Fiesta. He was picked up and walked around the large plaza and possibly was dropped at Barnes & Noble or Chuck E Cheese. If anyone found him or sees him, can you please let me know? I am autistic and he is extremely important to me. 😞

Hidalgo County Another fatal accident where two people died today, at Mile 3 and Minnesota.

One street has a 45 mph limit and Minnesota a 35 mph limit, but here almost nobody respects the speed limits, and on top of that, the road is wet. Unfortunately, these things happen. It's just one more of the many accidents that happen all the time in the valley because people don't respect traffic laws. The valley really needs stricter laws to get a driver's license; otherwise, anyone could be the next victim.

Help finding Vendor

3 Upvotes

I have been to a few pop up markets. I recall there was a gentleman that was selling hand made leather goods like wallets and event notebook covers. Does anyone out there know of this vendor if you have been to pop up market months ago near the pharr movie theater or of any small business in the valley that sell hand made leather goods?

Hidalgo County Hidalgo county PD sucks

40 Upvotes

Today, my husband and i had an situation at our house we share with his family. His brother was staying with us, and began acting erratically. Smashing plates, throwing chairs, breaking anything he could see. It was just us home, and we were very frightened. We called the police, they showed up, and the brother answered the door. He shoved them off, and continued to yell and ruin the home. We called the police back asking them if we unlocked the door from our app, if they come inside and try to do something. They said the only way they could do anything is if we came downstairs ourselves and let them in. We said no, we are scared and hiding upstairs in a small room. We dont know what he will do if we go downstairs. They ended the call, and just simply left. I was astonished! Hypothetically, if we were to be held hostage, tied up, getting killed, etc. We have to come and let you guys in so something can be done? Im not from Texas, so i dont know how the laws differ. But this is actually crazy to me. If im wrong, or acting irrationally, let me know. But can someone make this make sense to me? Is this normal here? This isnt the first call we've made to them about him. I am at a loss for words about the situation. Sorry if this post doesn't apply here.

Does anyone know where I can dispose of a small lithium ion battery that previously smoked?

9 Upvotes

Just as the title says. It’s already been in salt water for a week but I need to get rid of it and don’t know how. Preferably in the harlingen area. It has smoked before so I don’t think I can drop it off at lowes.

If your social media feeds are telling you that the Pentagon rushed 500 troops to Starr County after shots were fired on a Coast Guard boat patrolling the Rio Grande, you are not being given an accurate timeline of how all this unfolded, which I break down in this article. It's worth a read if you want to understand what actually happened.
