I’ve tired living in this hell hole for 5 years. I put in effort to get to know people. Got involved in church, in my kids school, tried going to the office. None of it works. 90% of people are fake, especially if they’re from DFW. It makes relationship building a bit impossible, because there’s always an air of, “I’m never going to tell you what I really think,” from people. Either that or there an entirely different culture and want nothing to do with you and your kids. The churches are also just money machines designed to “sell” you Jesus. There was literally a guy on “stage” (because why would you have a proper alter with a cross in a Christian church?) saying he left being a pastor to become a sales person. He said it was the same thing. Then the pastors get caught up in a sex scandal, and they put the church “under new management” and start things all over again.

The homes are three variations of the same design, stamped out like they were all built in the same factory over and over again. Master planned communities are laid out on a grid, sapping any randomness away from your landscape that you could’ve hoped for. Every road has a shopping plaza plaza on it for you to try to dump your money into to try to create some meaning in life, but all the foods the same bland garbage because it’s all really just processed garbage from the same Sysco warehouse. If you’re lucky enough to find a restaurant that’s not a franchise reselling cancer on a plate, they’re lucky to stay in busIness.

“The schools are great!” what schools are you talking about? The ones on a website that say theyre great, or an actual school. Have you been in a school? All the schools I’ve seen have kids flipping over desks and disrupting class so no one can learn. Pepole take their kids out of public school by 4th grade the latest if they have the money to because after that it’s even more chaotic. heaven help you if you’re of European decent and have a kid in Kindergarten or 1st grade. He or she will be the only kid who looks like him and has a last name you can pronounce.

Your backyard is three fenced in walls and a patio that’s 115 degrees in the summer. Every winter it snows and ices and the wbole place shuts down for a week because no one understands that if you put some salt on the road and a plow on your waste management trucks you could actually get rid of the ice and drive when it’s below freezing.

This place is hell. You get fooled to move in by all the great things you read about it, then you move there and can never eacape.

EDIT: for everyone calling me a racist you can all just stop. I have a membership at Costco.

moved here recently and don’t know how to make friends lol. i’m not in college and currently trying to get a job so i haven’t had many social interactions. tips on making friends here? or would anyone like to be friends?

I visited the Gong Cha on Warren for some tea on Thursday. The next day, my mother gets a text thanking her for visiting and offering her a discount code.

She accompanied me on Thursday but stayed in the car, I was the only one who entered the store. I did not give them any phone number, and I used my own personal card that she’s not connected to in any way.

How on earth would Gong Cha know who to send a text to? I’m sick and tired of companies getting your information without you giving it to them.

I was originally going to go to TP tea nearby but you cannot go there without forcibly driving past one of the 5 Flock cameras that Academy set up (mentioned in the recent post on this sub).

Is there a way for someone to treat themselves to a beverage in this city without being surveilled or tracked in one way or another?

Hello everyone, my boyfriend and I are looking forward to moving out soon and we are searching for a townhome/apartment preferably with an attached garage. Please let me know of any recommendations

I love all these open-late cafes and coffee shops that are popping up lately! I was lamenting the ability to go out and do something late at night here since I just moved here, and we don’t have a public transit system and I don’t want to drive home drunk. It’s so nice that these cafes are open so late, till 10pm-11-12 am, it gives me somewhere to go which is so nice especially after a wfh day, and it’s so convenient I can go after work and it won’t close after an hour of me being there (after fighting through an hour of 5 o’clock traffic). Shoutout Arwa, DAR, and Trung.

Edit: thank you all for the recs!

It feels like to totally novel experience. I used to live in a place where it rained every day. I didn't realize how much i missed it.

Hello. I want to get into taking photos on film but I don’t really know what I am doing. I’d also love to use how to use a dark room. Are there any cool film photo societies around that I can join to learn the ropes (and you know, grab a pint afterwards).
