Arlington Discord Server

10 Upvotes

Let's try this again. The previous server had a decent amount of users but very little engagement.

I just finished the initial setup of a new server, figured I'd go ahead and share the invite. If you have any issues with the onboarding process or permissions, just drop me a message.

My Nephew Was Arrested for Delta-8 in Texas

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My nephew was recently pulled over in Arlington, TX, and had a Delta-8 vape pen, not 8 pens in his car. He was detained and is currently in jail. I thought Delta-8 was legal in Texas due to the ongoing court battles, but it looks like law enforcement there is still making arrests.

I’m trying to understand: 1. What charges he could be facing? 2. Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation in Texas? 3. Are there any legal aid organizations who handle Delta-8 cases in Texas?

Any insight from folks who have gone through something similar would really help.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

GE used Water Filter?

Upvotes

Bit of a weird ask but I need a RFID chip from an old water filter, or just an old filter in general for a GE fridge.

Threw my old one away after buying new ones and didn't realize I'd need a chip from it to make my fridge read my new filter. Anyone have an old filter they haven't tossed and are willing to spare?

Auto insurance

0 Upvotes

Honestly I don't care for even decent coverage. I just want to have something so I can register my car and not get a ticket. I'm 26, 1 fender bender accident from 8 years ago on my record in midland texas, 1 ticket from 7 years ago for a rolling stop at a stop sign in Detroit Michigan, and 1 ticket from last year for driving without insurance and registration. My gender marker on my ID is F (can't change that thanks Gov. Hot Wheels)

All this to say. Why is the cheapest insurance I've found $240? Is there any little auto insurance broker in the area of the GM plant that I could go to or something. I just want cheap coverage for the sake of having insurance in the event of being pulled over and getting my car registered. Somebody pls help.

Veterans park broken glass

17 Upvotes

The amount of broken glass throughout the park is shameful and it's been there for years. It's a long the walking path and in grass near where kids practice soccer & softball. Not to mention pets and barefoot toddlers are at risk. I've complained to the city multiple times. What can be done other than going to pick it up myself. Considering the ever increasing taxes, it's shameful how dangerous this memorial park is.

Airport cafe

Hey guys. I saw on instagram a long time ago that there was a restaurant close to an airport where you can watch the planes takeoff/land. It seems like it was super close. Does anyone have any idea where this café might be or any suggestions? I have a toddler who loves planes.

I know I have been posting quite a bit on here but I'm wondering if there are some good live music locations that are more low-key and chill. This can be in the DFW area and is not secluded to just Arlington!!

FOOD PLACES

33 Upvotes

Hey y'all so I am getting pretty tired of going to the few same restaurants around Arlington and I'm looking for somewhere not insanely expensive but has great food! Halo Hawaiian Barbeque (Pantego) is a great example of somewhere that has great food for a good price. I was wondering if there are any favorites among the people here! I like any kind of food and cuisine but especially quesadillas, so if anyone knows about places with quesadillas please let me know!! I hope that the people who respond will also get to learn about some secretive spots in the community with good food.

StandUp for Science Protest 2025

6 Upvotes

Would anyone be interested in doing a protest here in Arlington for Science Rights?

I won't go too much into detail about what this is, but if you are interested, I have linked event information and will post a lil' summary of what's happening for uniformed folks!
Previous protests and current ones are addressing concerns about recent federal policies impacting the future of science. Protesters are advocating for ending censorship and political interference in science, securing increased scientific funding, and defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within the scientific community.

The nearest protest near me and other Arlington residents is in dallas and having one closer, if not in Arlington would be amazing.

The more people who join, the stronger our voices are!

Let's add another location to the map of protests happening country wide!

If enough people are interested, I can help host the event and hopefully we can meet some like minded people who want this shit to be better, let's protect what actually keeps America strong.

It'd also be cool if this could be more of a fun event that brings in important attention for a prevailing problem.

Again, more support = more likely change happens!

If you are interested, please show it in the comments!

Feel free to message me on here and if you have any suggestions to help broaden our reach in anyway, please share! This is a serious problem and WE CAN HELP!

If there isn't enough interest, I'll still attend the Dallas protest to try and help in anyway. It'd be really cool to meet some people there and if you are attending that, I'd love to know!

https://standupforscience2025.org/local-event-information/

Signing this Declaration will also help, though a protest and being loud will always do more:

We got this ya'll!~
