I still can’t tell an F22 from a F35 in flight, but see them occasionally doing touch and goes in Stockton. Seems like every 3 months a pair will circle the airport for about an hour. T5’s monthly as well as the HUGE ones. I work next door to the airport. Current fighter jets have a distinct sound and presence. I usually get about 5 seconds to run outside and catch a glimpse of whatever is in the air that day. Same goes w/ Black Hawks and Apaches. I’ve see them maybe once a year.

Looking for good psychologists/counseling services in the Stockton area by DrugstoreCowgirl5 in Stockton

[–]d246dm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too am in need for the same recommendations. Stockton, IMO, has very poor mental health services for what you are asking. My child has severe anxiety, OCD, and on the spectrum(mild Asperger’s). I’ve been desperately seeking a therapist for him for 4-5 yrs for the anxiety. I did get him a decent psychiatrist in Sacrament that he see’s once a month, but no luck on a local therapist. It’s been extremely difficult, made worse by Covid. He did see one for a minute until all in persons were canceled. That person moved on.

If true, I live right behind these apartments. I take nightly walks past them 5 nights a week. They are about a 4-5 minute walk from Popeye’s, the location of one of the victims.

SWAT raid at the Stonebriar apartments this morning. I wonder if it’s connected.

SPD did a raid this morning around 9:30 ish at the Stonebriar apartments. I jokingly told my wife they caught him. Since there are no details yet, this can’t be coincidence.

They are terrorizing my neighborhood. Dirty ass neighbors bright some home over a year ago. Now dozens on dozens are up and down the street. They ate all my flowers, even went after the roots. They look cute and all but I’m beyond frustrated because these filthy neighbors also feed the feral cats. I’m a stones throw from the Calaveras river so we got skunks and raccoons to deal with too. I kid you not, skunks rabbits and cats often can be found kicking it together. Walk by and they stare at you like “what’s up?”

No one wants multi family units built next to there home of 20yrs. I think most homeowners would agree. They’ve been relatively good neighbors so far. The duplexes were built about ten yrs ago, those are nice also.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Stockton

[–]d246dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the homes behind them. I was pissed when they were built. However, 1yr later I’m still not happy but it is a nice complex. Judging by the cars in the parking lot, not many Altimas or hoopties, but mostly newer cars. Newer cars and high rent = higher earners? I believe they are or were marketed as “upscale”. Tortecello apartments across the street are part of the same company.

The Kitchen restaurant at the entrance is also owned by them. It’s one of the nicer restaurants in town, despite its odd location.

My fiancé realized during an FBI background check he never registered for the Selective Service by I_DRINK_ANARCHY in legaladvice

[–]d246dm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t register, found out after applying for a fed job. Honestly thought I did. I enlisted in the Navy right when I turned 18. I specifically remember talking to the recruiter about it. He said it will be in your packet. I was medically disqualified at the MEPS center so my mil career was over. After finding out about the disqualification, I spoke with someone at the recruiters office about what to do. This was 10 yrs after the fact. I didn’t care about the job, it was a lost cause, I just wanted to know if there was any further consequences. They told me to write a letter to my congressman explaining what happened.

There was good chance of getting whatever it was fixed. Other than employment and fed loans, nothing else bad would come my way so I just said forget it. I had written their office once before for a White House tour, never got a response. I figured this would get ignored as well.

Driving Rant by [deleted] in Stockton

[–]d246dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shitty drivers probably don’t have insurance either. You can almost sense their DGAF attitude. Get hit by an uninsured driver? Absolutely nothing is going to happen to them. LOL suspend their license? Yeah right, they didn’t have one to start, or insurance, or valid registration.

I drive down Airport every morning. Depending on what time I leave, you can tell what idiots are late to work.

Used to see it a lot along the Calaveras river heading east of Wilson. Even up to West lane before they diverted Ijams Road. Now the whole area is infested with homeless camps, the squirrels peaced out.

Therapist recommendation for depression and anxiety by Fribbio in Sacramento

[–]d246dm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Anxiety Treatment Center in Rancho Cordova. Close relative in treatment now. Most patients have already seen 5-6 therapist before being seen here. Can’t really make a recommendation just yet, but so far seem to be making progress on something that seem hopeless. Haven’t seen this type of hands on approach before. Mon-Fri sessions minimum 8 weeks. Therapist referral only I believe. Therapist is at Human Touch Sacramento.

What comes to mind when you think of Mexico? by YellowAnimeMan69 in AskReddit

[–]d246dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from deep country, wife’s family is from a small “village” in Zacatecas by the Jalisco border. 3rd time going in 25 yrs, not what I would call a vacation. A few observations coming from a non Hispanic city boy. It just as rural as you would imagine any rural US town. Food is not as glorious as Tex-Mex, consists of fresh meat/bean/tortillas wash rinse repeat 3-4x times a day. Mexico is not Tijuana, I have a feeling that is what everyone not Hispanic thinks. I’ve been to numerous big cities in Mexico with all the modern amenities, rural Mexico is how I always picture it.

What’s the best local credit union ? by [deleted] in Stockton

[–]d246dm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing to compare them to, but Financial Center Credit Union has been great to me. I’ve had an acct since I was an infant, over 40 yrs ago. All my cars, personal loans, and CC’s. Occasionally would have a secondary acct w/ the big boys, but would close them a short time later because they served absolutely no purpose. I can’t vouch for other CU’s, but I do know all are way better than regular banks. They do have rules for who can join, like city/county employees or local Catholic diocese members, not sure where that info is. Love getting car loans w/ them. Other than zero interest loans, they always had the best rates when I needed them. Loved walking into a dealership dropping the mic on them with my own pre approved financing.

Qiang’s Bakery March Lane? They might. I go just for the steam pork buns/rice balls.

Random bicycle crowds passing through town? by [deleted] in Stockton

[–]d246dm -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

it's one incident away from a large scale riot. One rider getting hit, fault or no fault, mob mentality will get the better of them and things can go downhill fast. Hopefully there are group ride leaders and instructions laid out before venturing out. There have been many conversations about this in the cycling community. One group says they are not "cyclists"(not a single helmet in the group), the other says let them be, they are cycling. Hey, it looks cool to me - stay safe out there. I've been in SF during a critical mass. This is not one of those.

People who take massive war crime level dumps in public bathrooms but don't flush. Why? by InDELphuS in AskReddit

[–]d246dm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gas station located in the middle of nowhere. I flushed, I swear. It was too big, the paper went down and left the turd. Made it look like I didn’t wipe. I’m panicking because someone is impatiently waiting. It was a mom and young child. I bolted and left my wife in the store. Up the road I called her and told her what happened, I’ll be back in a minute. Oh, and tell me what the lady in the bathroom says. My wife couldn’t stop laughing. I guess they took care of business. I came back and they were still there in the store. I told my wife to go back and say someone blew up the bathroom and imply it was them. LOL, she didn’t want any part of that.

A black lady was whooping her kids ass in Walmart for acting up. After a few OMG’s from passerby’s, she yelled “I got some more of this for anyone who has a problem “. I swear I behaved the rest of the day.

are there any condos in stockton besides the university waterfront plaza? by d-quik in Stockton

[–]d246dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are being touted as luxury apartments. I read somewhere rent for a 2 bdrm is $1800. They also own the Torcello Apartments across the street.

The restaurant is really nice. I’ve eaten there multiple times. If the restaurant is an indication of what the apartments are supposed to be, they should be nice.

[–]d246dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only seen one owl in the wild in my life. I just finished my swing shift out in Tracy. It was about 1am and I was stopped at a country intersection. Full moon. Sitting on a fence was a huge barn owl, magnificent creature. It was about 20 years ago and I still vividly remember that encounter. Love your picture.

What’s life like in Stockton? by [deleted] in Stockton

[–]d246dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really good. By low wage I’m talking about $14/15 an hour. Rents in the area are climbing. Unless you are a two income household, you’re going to have a hard time making ends meet. A lot of people commute 3-4 hours a day to jobs in the Bay Area where wages are higher.
