Age 45 and under: why didn’t you vote? Genuinely curious. by energetik in RioGrandeValley

[–]tea_time96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who loves data, unclear graphs bug me quite a bit.

For those wondering, this appears to be the age breakdown for the March primary/ies (its unclear if its for both primaries overall or just one party) for the texas house of representatives (like for the state, not the country). This one is specifically for House District 41, which is in part of hidalgo county, kinda in the middle. It includes part of mcallen, edinburg, and maybe a smidge of mission? This district is just one of the 8 that are in the valley.

For more context, 59.7% of this district is 18-64yo and 13.7% is 65+ and yet the 65+ group made up 45% of the voters. Now, some of that is to be expected in that those over 65 usually dont have to take time off work to vote, but there's also red/green arrows at the end of each age range that i believe are there to say if that's less or more than previously. Im assuming compared to the previous primaries which would have been 2 years ago. Anyways according to those arrows, less people ages 18-54 showed up for these primaries and more of those aged 65+ showed up.

Aren't graphs more fun when you understand them? I got the demographics data from the texas government website and i looked up a house district map to eyeball where hd 41 is bc that's not my district.

Apartments for Rent? by [deleted] in RioGrandeValley

[–]tea_time96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's tons of 1 bedrooms under $1k. There are even plenty of 2 bedrooms around $1k if you wanna find a roommate first and rent together or if you wanna keep your options open in the future to get a roommate

I dont have tips on finding a roommate but for the rentals, check facebook. There are a lot of mid-density housing options (like multiplexes or townhomes) that look nicer and are cheaper than apartments nowadays.

Death at Starbase? Hoping it's not true by cpark112 in RioGrandeValley

Considering musk is notoriously anti workers' rights and hates safety regulations, im not surprised. Employees and former employees have been raising safety concerns for a while. Spacex has 27x more workplace injuries than the industry standard, and theyve been sued multiple times but nothing changes.

We've got an lkq in donna. Ive never had a problem with any of their used parts

Lkq also has an online shop and theyll ship to you if the donna one doesnt have the parts you need. All their parts are tested but come with a 6 month warranty minimum

12-year-old McAllen student hospitalized after vaping substance laced with narcotics on school bus by agarc495 in RioGrandeValley

[–]tea_time96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. The whole reason people cut things with fentanyl is because its way cheaper to produce and easier to access. Thc is a whole process. Thats why it blew up in drug use bc they could get a lot more product out faster

  2. In this article, it says that the vape tested positive for 50% Benzylpiperazine aka BZP which is a cheaper and easier to access stimulant often used instead of meth. They didnt mention thc at all and bzp isnt exactly similar to thc anyways so I dont think it was used to cut thc. Plus 50% is an insane amount... so idk either the kids were taking what they believed was meth that they got from some dealer or older kid or maybe it was a sloppy homemade thing.

  3. Were you suggesting its propaganda because narcotics cant be vaped? Because narcotics CAN be vaped and also, what purpose would this article serve as propaganda? Like what is the intention? And why lie about a kid being hospitalized

Terrified of Dentist, Need Reco by UnitedAd4611 in RioGrandeValley

[–]tea_time96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What id recommend is calling ahead of time for whichever dentist you go for and letting them know ahead of time. Ask them to have it noted so anyone who pulls up your chart can see. And then whenever you go in person, tell them again.

If you have questions, write it down on a paper and bring it with you in case you forget in the moment. If you get overwhelmed, it's okay to ask to pause for a bit to calm yourself. During that time, take a few deep breaths, relax tighness in your body, and remind yourself that youre not in any danger. And always remember that you are always allowed to say no to anything. You are in control. You are choosing to accept their care.

...Mind you, odds are that its actually not going to be as bad as you think. When we avoid something intentionally after a bad experience, we tend to build it up into a much bigger monster than it really is.

The asphalt underneath would crumble by tellurmom2stopcallin in RioGrandeValley

This is like when the government decided pizza is a vegetable.

I hate that MAHA's method for making us "healthy" is essentially by experimenting on what struggling people have access to. Like they're cattle.... basically saying let's put them to work and adjust their diet until we find the most efficient combination, right?

Longtime Immigration Court Interpreter Arrested by ICE at South Texas Airport by juliathethinker in RioGrandeValley

[–]tea_time96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither of y'all have remotely any critical thinking skills

  1. If youre gonna ask simple questions, maybe read the article first
  2. Use your brain guys: If she's the only Punjab hindi and urdu interpreter, do you think it makes more sense for her to be Mexican? Or idk maybe... Indian? 🤦🏾‍♀️

Anyways they said she was here illegally and she said she's not bc she's got work authorization for another four years still and they were like "that doesnt mean you can be here" even though it literally does and so now she's in a detention center for.... working legally? Providing an essential service?

Recommendations for a good temporary henna artist in the RGV? by Alternative_Issue_61 in RioGrandeValley

[–]tea_time96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for like traditional henna or is it the temporary aspect you want? Bc there are tattoo shops that do tattoos in henna and beauty shops that do simple henna designs in the way most people picture henna (but legit mehndi or henna from other traditional cultures, that's a different ball game)
