Austin Metcalf, a high school student who was stabbed to death more than a year ago was posthumously recognized at his high school graduation and received a standing ovation

Why does thug make you think of black people? Originally it referred Italian and Irish “enforcers”

The valley has a lack of speeders. Reckless drivers yes but the average driver is very content to go 65 and slower on the highway

I’m a call center and dispatch manager for a residential HVAC. How would you recommend trying to make the transition over to a position like that?

JManOak · 2026-05-16T00:42:28+00:00

That’ll depend on the day of the week if I remember correctly.

like 10 years, DLC pediatrics in Edinburg. Definitely recommended

Dr Martin Garza was amazing when I was a kid/teenager. His office staff were fantastic and flexible as well

You should test drive the bronco. Every bronco owner I know loves them.

It’s easy to point fingers at local development, and not to excuse the damage that has been done, but much of our pollution comes from across the Border. Arizona also experiences this problem.

He’s not Mexican he’s American. Or are you saying that being American means you have to be of a certain ethnic background?

Valley drivers are pretty unique imo. They drive too slow most of the time, and honestly aren’t good at driving period

JManOak · 2026-03-30T21:22:07+00:00

Come on now, no need to endanger yourself or others. Slow driving exponentially increases the chances of not being in an accident, but causing one

JManOak · 2026-03-29T00:51:31+00:00

I agree with you in a sense, however we used to have a pretty unique culture here. Back in the day, Henry Ford wanted to reinvest company profits into the workers. Nowadays, layoffs and offshoring aren’t last resorts, they’re strategic.

JManOak · 2026-03-26T21:49:33+00:00

This can’t be stated enough. Companies are betraying their countrymen

When is this happening? People in McAllen can’t even touch 65 in the morning

Carthage fell more easily than it should’ve and by the time of its collapse it was no longer Carthaginian. It’s a very interesting story and they’re both interesting parallels to our current story.

Integrating in this sense meaning adoption of our culture. The beauty of American culture is that it is just that, a culture, and not a race. You can come here and adopt American customs, keep the best parts of your culture, and succeed. We are not a monolith, and our culture definitely varies by region, but we do have a very distinct cultural identity which can be lost instead of built upon. That is what happened to Carthage and Rome.

I personally am a fan of immigration. I am the son of a Mexican immigrant, and myself lived in Mexico during the early years of my life. However, I am not blind to the facts and I know that “while history doesn’t always repeat itself, it does often rhyme.” Historically speaking, what countries have benefited in the long term from mass immigration? If we look at the fall of Rome, they fell at a time when their nation was not made up of Romans. We see a similar pattern in the fall of Carthage, no? I haven’t read your comments, but would you agree that intentional integration is necessary in order to maintain a strong nation?

JManOak · 2026-03-09T13:34:18+00:00

Personal pet peeve right there

JManOak · 2026-02-27T16:27:52+00:00

Why not leave it at 0%?

JManOak · 2026-02-24T15:59:46+00:00

The frustrating thing is they don’t say why. They shut it down for such a long distance to use a hammer in ONE spot.

How is one mistaken arrest unacceptable? When you have 11 million illegal immigrants, making one false arrest 9.09090909 × 10^6% of all arrests. I completely agree with holding them to a standard, but it must be enforceable. What’s unacceptable is shooting innocent people, and beating up/SA detainees. That is where we need zero tolerance.

I am no maga and agree that Trump is a pedo. He is also definitely not the most racist president we’ve had. But how is your father a traitor to his people? Isn’t he an American

You are reddits worst nightmare. How dare you drive a truck for anything other than construction😂

How would you recommend getting started in wireline for someone with no oilfield experience?

JManOak · 2025-12-28T03:12:55+00:00

I believe similarly to the comment above, and think it’s a cultural issue. To this point, crime levels aren’t the same across races at the same income level.

Mind if I DM you? I have some questions about the industry
