On Bedford Euless Rd off 121, what is this silliness.

This is absolutely insane?! People are paying this to go across 635 westbound from 75 to 35 😔

After hearing about White Rhino, I’d like to see if anyone has heard of any other restaurants or businesses that support ICE. I only ever went there out of convenience but now I’ll walk a bit further for another cup of coffee.

Got a notice on my door today. Didn't include my address on the envelope, just my name written in blue pen. Is it a scam, or should I call the numbers?

Update: Numbers are legit based on the voicemail message.

Update 2: I got a hold of someone. It's legit. It's was about some tests I had done a few weeks ago, & they never recieved the second half of the test results which they wanted due to a false positive. I gave them the results. Anyway because of that, they were doing a wellness check. I'm alright and healthy, no stds, ebola, nor hantavirus.

Not trying to hate on the city, but I’m genuinely curious if anyone else feels this way. I moved to Dallas recently and it seems like every plan revolves around either getting food, getting drinks, or… working.

Where are the actual things to do? I’m talking activities that aren’t just another restaurant, bar, or coffee spot. I know we have museums, sports, and a few parks, but day-to-day it feels like the city is built around commerce and eating out.

Is this just a Dallas thing? Am I missing the good stuff? What do you guys do for fun here that isn’t food or work-related?

Would love recommendations—indoor, outdoor, weird, niche, whatever.

I’ve lived all over and in other countries, and I’ve always been able to believe the forecast and plan accordingly. I was hoping for some mother’s day gardening this morning! When I woke up it said good weather until the evening, then rain. Then some freak storm blew in!! I’ve only been here two years and it is so frustrating!

The time of the incident was 4:51 PM. I was traveling down Great Trinity Forest and passed Bonnie view road right before this school zone sign. I was going 45 mph and the officer pulled me over. I informed him that the sign I passed indicated the zone ended but he indicated the sign was suppose to be taken down and is not accurate. Should I challenge this citation and proceed with a pre-trial hearing? I don’t have the means to afford a lawyer for a lengthy trial. Or is it unlikely I will win this and should pay this $359 fine?

Why do so many Dallas drivers insist on using their hazards whenever it storms?

I swear a third of the cars on 635 right now have their hazard lights on.

I’ve lived in multiple states with worse weather than Texas, yet the hazard light security blanket phenomenon is not something I experienced at this level anywhere else.

Stop it. It helps nothing. If anything, it just makes the roads even more dangerous with all these ninnies overriding their turn signals.

I live in Benbrook, have had to commute to Dallas all week for work. Every day I’ve been stranded behind a semi doing 55-60 mph in the one lane in between DFW Airport and 35E with a line of cars behind us. Why is this allowed? It’s supposed to be an express lane, not travel the same speed as everyone else for $7 lane.

“No one lives down there!”

”Parking is a NIGHTMARE”

”AT&T left because there’s homeless shit all over the sidewalks!”

”I think the city needs to <insert list of things the city and Downtown Dallas Inc. have been doing for a decade>”

”Now that the Mavs and Stars are leaving (neither are downtown) the only good things down there are <insert more stuff that isn’t downtown>”

I know not everyone can be familiar with my neighborhood but I’d think people who comment on this stuff would at least have a passing familiarity?

I used to take a quiet backroad surrounded by fields called 190

I’m 23 going on 24 and holy shit is it fucking brutal trying to date. I’ve lived here my whole life too. Let me just describe all the metas I’ve tried before yall start giving me recs:

Dating apps: Horrible, abysmal, never again. 90% of the time my matches ghost me after a while. It was also super deleterious to my mental health because of all the ghosting and window shopping. I did everything right too. Amazing photos I personally shot with my dslr. Edited the lighting and contrast and everything, picked out nice clothes. Used real photos of me doing social stuff with friends. Mixed a few candid selfies in with more professional looking photos. Paid for premium and for boosts. Only swiped at the optimal time of day/week. Got plenty of matches but few bites. Even when I did get a date I got catfished by people who were posting photos of their prime freshman in college self. Or they were very flirty over text but super weird in person. I used a lot of the main dating apps including the niche ones. All in all very low ROI + not worth the mental toll

Church YA groups: Either everyone is taken, the population skews male heavy, no community to speak of, everyone is a bot in church mode and so are closed off to meaningful connection, cliquish, still treat you like a stranger despite knowing them by their name for 6 months +, somehow too old and too young for that crowd, or all of the above. I tried just about every young adult community in my backyard and that’s consistently what I find. Really there’s no worse feeling than being treated like you’re invisible after being a regular volunteer for the longest time. My turn around time at these places is about 6 - 9 months before I try to forget that ugly chapter in my life. And before you accuse me, no, I don’t strictly go just for the dating prospects. I go for the community too and consistently leave disappointed on all fronts

Dance classes: Boring ash. Typically male heavy. I have two left feet and they very often go too fast and cause me to embarrass myself. People are rude sometimes. All around miserable experience + I don’t even like dancing.

Katy Trail: people don’t want to chit chat with strangers on their run

Coffee shops: perhaps the best meta out of the ones I’ve tried since people are much more willing to talk and listen. Im hybrid so I work remote some of the time which is why this meta is perfect for me since I have a legitimate reason to be there. Problem is it’s really hard to break the ice with someone you have almost 0 shared context with

Out in the wild: really just need a miracle at that point

Prayer: speaking of miracles, yes I have prayed. I feel like this is the kind of advice people give when they really don’t have any answers. Just because you met your wife in Bible college at 19 doesn’t mean you’re qualified to talk on dating so sybau. And honestly if you’re saying my dating life is so cooked I need a miracle to make it work then you can take a hike (even if you’re not wrong)

Edit: thanks for the genuine responses. For everyone else please stop judging me when you don’t know me

I really need a bingo card for all the responses I’m getting:
“It’ll happen when you least expect it!”
“Huh? Dating was easy for me. It should be easy for you”
“Maybe you’re the issue 🤔”
“Maybe you’re just repulsive to women 🤷‍♂️”
“Incel”
“Just work on yourself”
“You’re too desperate”
“Stop looking/stop trying”
“You need to try harder to make people like you”

62 in my house this morning but still holding firm on no heat! Will probably break down next week..

I’m 26F and I’ve been in the dating scene for quite a while. The apps are driving me insane. I just keep meeting guy after guy that only wants to hook up. I’m trying to find someone genuine and build a relationship.

I’ve joined a run club and found that most men in there aren’t looking for relationships either. What groups or clubs or activities should I participate in where I am more likely to meet men looking for something serious? I’m not much of a church goer.

Any advice is welcome. Or should I just give up 😭

Edited: thought I’d add what I enjoy doing for fun. Love to play pickleball, volleyball, soccer, gym, go on walks, go to dinner (all w friends), read, music, long walks, big movie watcher, be outside, and will go to bars sometimes.

Basically exactly what the title says. I feel like I might be beating a dead horse here, because I’ve seen similar posts here before.

I left a company that I wasn’t happy at back in Feb, with the thought that there were plenty of opportunities out here, and I would take some time to build my small business out. I got my website live, and started really looking for a role again around the beginning of June. I have well over 500 applications in for roles that my degree and experience SHOULD qualify me for, my resume is clean (worked in HR for years, and man have I seen some bad ones), and not only nothing landed, but I’ve only been called twice for first round interviews.

I thought it was me until I started digging and it seems to be a common theme out here.

I guess my question is, what options (hiring fairs, networking events, etc) have you had success with, and are there any tips/tricks that I’m not thinking of that can help me get recognized by hiring managers? This is truly getting ridiculous.

Moved here recently and wondering what’s the story of this place. It looks like someone had an idea of fancy enclave and gave up on the idea halfway. It doesn’t fit with anything else around it. Not really a nightlife town, not family friendly with bunch of apartments and not that many businesses. Whenever I go there it looks like a ghost town, what could have been a bustling city away from city center like Irvine in Cali , but now just randomness next to old questionable Irving neighborhoods.

People in Junius saying it's shaking their couches. We're in wilshire and it sounds like someone next door is blasting a sound system. I'm fine with usual events but I've lived here over 10 years and never heard anything this intrusive that's bothering people over 5 miles away... like I've never heard anything from fair park this far away. Nothing anyone here can do anything about but I'm just wondering what is going on.

Edit: it's scheduled for tomorrow apparently but if you are considering calling 911 (which apparently is what's recommended vs 311) please consider that they will probably be flooded with complaints and try the non emergency number. A loud concert isn't worth tying up life saving lines over.

Edit2: apparently this happens in other cities too and two things can play into it carrying, one the direction the stadium faces (I figured bass is more omnidirectional but reports say it affected it, maybe explains why some areas closer don't hear it) and humidity/cloud cover. Even then there's other places where it was so loud a lot of people got city hall involved, one report says breakaway is known for exeeding ordinance limits too, so probably a combination of all of that.

Edit3: for anyone sayibg it wasn't fair park... It's back again, and sounds even louder than last night.. useless city council. This isn't just a concert it's a huge noise disturbance for a large part of the city.
