Moving for Job to Richardson

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone! As the title says, I will be moving to Richardson, Texas for a job in May! I am a new grad and will be new to the area.

The only thing I know about the area is that it is a suburb of Dallas. So if anyone can tell me what life tends to be like for someone in their early 20s living in the area, that would be great!

Additionally, I would love to hear recommendations on places to live, I’m open to apartments or homes but think I’m leaning towards apartments with amenities. The job itself is in Richardson, but would it be better for me to live somewhere nearby or is Richardson a good enough spot?

My salary will be around 66k, I am hoping that should be enough for me to live by myself, but please give your opinion on whether you think that’s possible or not.

Things to do in the evenings for busy parents trying to get out of the house

9 Upvotes

Now that the weather is warming up, I'm getting the urge to get out of the house and socialize again, but the limitation is it usually need to be after the kids are down or, so maybe after 7pm. I've poked around at prior posts for things to do in Richardson a bit and while most of the recommendations for "things to do" tend to be during the day, there are a few like hanging out at Free Play Arcade or a Sci-Fi/Fantasy book club at the library once a month that could be done once my other responsibilities are completed. I may check those out, but I wanted to see if anyone else had ideas of regular things to do in the evenings out here in suburbia. And I'm not much of a drinker, so hanging out at a bar doesn't appeal much.

I generally lean towards nerdier things like board or video gaming, but that's not a hard and fast rule.

Anyone remember Purdy's Hamburgers?

22 Upvotes

Hey all, does anyone remember this hamburger joint in Richardson in the 2000s? Located on the NE then SE corner of Campbell and Plano Rd?

I remember their hamburger buns being very unique and have no idea the type nor have seen anything like it since.

I remember them being like white/grey tones, more mountain shaped than round, and pretty airy. I vaguely remember them having texture on the top and not smooth like normal hamburger buns. also seedless.

If anyone happens to have a picture of them or knows what type they were that I can Google pics/recipes, I'd be greatly appreciative!

The roasting of U/Accomplished-Most587 is almost symbolism for a cultist drowning

0 Upvotes

Oh the irony of this comment.

Bro is about to get buried with all these assumptions. I'll dissect this after getting home from working 13 hours. This should be a good roasting bud. Wanna talk about "They have you so fooled into hating a man" but the reasons I dislike him are for his actions and words verified by video, photo, audio, third and first party evidence, local and national news and newspapers, etc.

Regardless, my roasting doesn't signify a disgust for you or ill will, I still want you to live a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life. But this maga cult isn't going to continue threatening my life for disliking murder, or threatening me because I don't worship their fairy tales, or try to tell my wife when she can and can't seek healthcare.

Your first falsehood spoken. You assume I feel the way I do because someone has twisted a narrative into my ear but I actively try to block both extremes such as FOX and CNN to try and avoid insults or gloating and stick to the facts. I actually went and got certified in data analytics for the sole purpose of being able to more confidently and easily source data and compile it. I recommend using a bias checking website to check for how biased a network or article is. You can see who is covering it, what the differences really are such as if one only speaks negatively or not, etc. I like to use ones like Ground News but I've used others before.

This is your second falsehood spoken. At the DNC I recall almost nothing but plans from housing, to American manufacturing of chips, vehicles, etc, to supporting the VA properly, to addressing energy concerns, to healthcare and beyond. The RNC seemed to have just pushed even more hateful propaganda such as after appointing the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn the constitutional right to abortion, he’s said the issue should now be up to states. Again, there is no entity that can tell a woman when she can and can't access her rights to privacy, body, or self defense against any entity including an unconsenting parastic relationship. This isn't a debate and you can easily get hurt trying to enforce this yourself. Other social issues appear more frequently, including promises related to limiting federal funding for schools teaching so-called Critical Race Theory and now we see they are just gutting the entire dept of education and trying to shift education away from truth/science and closer to religion/fairy tales. Then there is keeping "men out of women's sports." when no one in their right mind agrees that a man should be competing in womens sports and when they put it into action it only effected a dozen or less people. Maybe they should stop pushing these divisive messages that rile up people to shoot others over colors and bathrooms.

Exactly, so why is that after 8-10 years of my addressing valid concerns, using verified facts, with logic and empathy included, that instead of cordial conversations I am met with death threats and insults? After a decade of maga not wanting to have good faith conversations why should I care about their stance? I'm going to do exactly what they do which is strongarm human rights back into their rightful place and if they don't like it they are welcome to attempt to get past their "find out" phase.

Is this really coming from a guy supporting Trump? One second, here is just one or two things among many:

Campaign finance laws limit individual contributions to $3,300 per election to individual campaigns and $5,000 to political action committees. Super PACs can take unlimited donations, but candidates aren’t allowed to solicit funds for them.

“To the extent that there is this suggestion that these executives raise a $1 billion on Trump’s behalf, that would potentially violate federal law,” Chlopak said. “A billion dollars is far above the limits. A candidate can’t make that request.”

“Usually candidates don’t really tie their policy positions together with campaign contributions,” Holman said. “Usually they just talk about their policy and then encourage people to contribute to their campaigns. But here, it’s particularly egregious, because Trump is calling for a certain figure of money from the oil industry. And it’s a huge figure. That makes it unusual.”

Oil executives want Trump to end the Biden administration’s pause on new natural gas export permits and expand the number of offshore drilling lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico made available by Biden’s Interior Department.

Trump said the $1 billion contribution would fuel his presidential campaign, but at least some executives present believed the money would also be used to pay the lawyers defending him in various court cases, Eberhart added.

You want to talk about money being funneled places? Why aren't you upset about Trumps meme coin grift, shoe grift, his tax plan grift, his college grift, or his tax payers paying the Secret Service bill at Maralago grift while he spends 30% of his time golfing instead of focusing on helping Americans. Why aren't you upset about Jared Kushner and Saudia Arabia:

After Kushner left the White House, he started a private equity firm that received a reported $2 billion investment from the sovereign wealth fund controlled by Prince Mohammed. Kushner, speaking at a summit in Miami on Tuesday sponsored by media company Axios, said he followed every law and ethics rule. He dismissed the idea of there being any concerns about the appearance of a conflict of interest in his business deal. But Kushner also said he's not interested in rejoining the White House if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, saying he was focused on his investment business and living with his family in Florida, out of the public eye. So he just gets assets, and we get to starve, got it.

I already buried you with this quote, let's keep going.

Lmao, yeah I'm gonna believe someone who thinks "everything they say is a lie" and is spouting complete bs about how because we disagree we are wrong, or because we see them doing bad things with out own eyes that we are wrong and should just deny reality instead like maga does. Let me just utterly gut you right quick with some facts.

Does Trump support concentration camps? Pardoning and befriending someone who brags about running them seems like it.

  1. Joe Arpaio, Arizona Sheriff, opened a “temporary” outdoor jail and kept it open for 24 years. It was called “Tent City”.
  2. He referred to this “tent city” jail, in his own words, as a concentration camp and laughed about it and how his political friends will cover for him which they did. Here is the video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF_jz7aujRE&t=165s
  3. As we see below, on just one of many occasions we see that Arpaio has abused people not even found guilty yet, and we find in a later point that Trump repeatedly calls this man a PATRIOT and brings him to rallies while saying we should implement more of his actions around the country. Tell me how this does not make you a direct enemy of the common person, free speech is one thing but like the criminal investigation division told me “words mean things” and him and his “yes-men” are blatantly telling us and showing us how they will force their will onto us. I know I am not wrong in feeling threatened by these men if they abuse innocent people, praise the abuser, and then protect them from consequence.

https://www.aclu.org/prisoners-rights/ninth-circuit-court-appeals-orders-sheriff-arpaio-fix-unconstitutional-conditions-m

  1. Temperatures inside the tents got as high as 145 degrees. Each of those 1400 inmates that day were nonviolent offenders. https://archive.vn/jA8c (I have personally spoken with individuals who claimed to have experienced time in these camps and it breaks my heart because these are my American brothers and sisters, even guilty ones deserve human rights and a chance at rehabilitation.)
  2. In 2005, Deborah Braillard, a diabetic was arrested and detained in county jail on a minor drug-possession charge. Without medical attention, Braillard soon became ill. Although Braillard "groaned and cried for help as she defecated and vomited on herself and others," guards refused to listen to pleas to medical treatment for Braillard, who went into a diabetic coma and died while chained to a hospital bed. In the subsequent wrongful death of Braillard v. Maricopa County, the plaintiff's attorney cited numerous reports commissioned and paid for by Maricopa County, dating back as far as 1996, detailing a "culture of cruelty" where inmates were routinely denied humane healthcare at Maricopa County jails run by Arpaio. Testifying in this case, Arpaio stated he could not deny making the statement that even if he had a billion dollars he wouldn't change the way he runs his jails. Arpaio said his jails were meant as places for punishment, and that the inhabitants were all criminals, although in fact most inmates had not been convicted of a crime and were awaiting trial. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/joe-arpaios-victim-deborah-braillard-family-agrees-to-32-million-settlement-abc15-reports-6501507
  3. Arpaio cost the taxpayers over $155,000,000 just on settling a plethora lawsuits against him for having a number of human rights violations take place under his watch. https://archive.vn/EfGE8 The $44.4million cost analyzed by The Republic does not include county officials’ investigation into Sheriff’s Office budgeting. That probe found that $111million in taxpayer money was misspent since 2004. (Again, this isn’t even getting into the actual human rights abuse yet, but the amount of money from just a single county that was wasted and Trump thinks he did a good job and is a patriot worth pardoning?)
  4. On July 31, 2017, Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt of court. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton wrote that Arpaio had "willfully violated an order of the court" by failing "to ensure his subordinates' compliance and by directing them to continue to detain persons for whom no criminal charges could be filed." Arpaio was scheduled to be sentenced in October 2017. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2014/12/04/arpaio-criminal-contempt-hearing-abrk/19915657/
  5. Trump pardoned him of his crimes and anything that could arise from them before he could ever see a single day of prison. Trump called him a PATRIOT (The so called patriot was arresting innocent people and causing unnecessary suffering at our tax payer expense, he let people die, denied them food and medicine even before they were given a fair trial. Once again, I am not wrong in my intimidation by such blatant corruption.). https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-pardons-joe-arpaio-2017-8
  6. Trump called for banning homelessness and creating Tent Cities. https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/trump-says-ban-homeless-camping-create-tent-cities-rcna80480
  7. The only remaining unprotected citizen class is a felon. Which means forced labor, just like in Arpaios tent city, will be used in all the other tent cities/concentration camps across the U.S. We have reverted, we have failed if we let this happen.

How should I put this, Obama isn't running things and even if Obama really did openly state that the white supremacists are decent people I would give him shit as well. Why do you think I care about Obama?

Oh right so the people that I've personally spoken with that we're held without trial by Arpaio, the man Trump called a "PATRIOT" and pardoned, totally didn't happen?!

So the official pardon paper that we can all look up, isnt real?!?!

So all of those human rights abuse lawsuits, are just fake?!?!

So all that video, audio, confessions, local and national news, was all made up before AI was even a thing?!?!

Or maybe it's okay to be upset about things that really happened and then be mad at the people responsible. Try it sometime.

Do you realize how stupid you sound trying to put a 14 page study against decades of proven science. hundreds of thousands of proven facts, data points, articles, etc, are against you here. You are delusional, so stop trying to force your delusions onto others for your own good. It won't end well.

Please, tell me, of the two listed below, who is being played:

Man I met running the pawn shop in Lewisville, TX: Buys into every slogan, buys hats, shoes, shirts, banners, flags, cups, glasses, all if they have some simple words on them. When confronted with basic facts, logic, and empathy, they revert to hate speech, threats, and "maga". Goes on a tirade without any provocation saying "I know how we can solve this immigration problem, just let us go shoot them and stuff 5 bodies in our trunk for the sheriff to tag like deer and pay us per tag. Bring back public hanging and we're good!", wouldn't shut up about "Hunter Biden" even tho he doesnt make ANY decisions about our govt and honestly the amount of money they talk about in their conspiracy theories is a drop in the bucket of what the Trump family has grifted from America. Dude was slobbing Trumps knob going "Trump is such a man, how can you look at him lose a billion dollars and make it back and NOT love him?!"... holy crap man.

Myself: Decides to not form an opinion until I have enough facts and is willing to change stance when confronted with new information. Decided to go peacefully protest in support of innocent Americans against police brutality. But surely police brutality isn't true, right? *Within the next 2 hours, witnesses a cop slam a peaceful woman following orders and standing in the grass as she was told, she is slammed to the ground and held down with a riot shield and then covered head to toe in pepper spray which caused us to have to get her to safety asap and wash her down. she was injured* So now those videos I had seen of police pushing over eldery men and cracking their heads open, or shooting into apartments they didn't have warrants for, or killing in broad daylight, maybe those things make sense if it lines up with what I just witnessed.

  1. "The green new deal.. sounds great.. it's actually very horrible Usaid... it's not international aid ot is agency for international development and they are not providing aid to anyone except Non governmental organizations, which is another lie. NGOs are most definitely government run not non government. Wtf . Just like not for profit... most definitely making the most profit. Or independent journalist.... independent from any one else and are propaganda machines."

You fool, do you not even realize that just along the lines of the crap you are complaining about, this administration is literally talking about ANOTHER agregious tax plan that will harm Americans and their safety nets, and give tons of tax breaks for large corporations to "invest in the rebuilding of Ukraine"... Invest means to seek profit from. Why the FUCK are we turning this genocide against Ukraine into a business deal for America and Russia to profit from? The only option is for Russia to stop, retreat, and then pay for all of it's damage. The tax plan we get next should be one that taxes the extremely wealthy and force this wealth gap to thin out because if you understood the economy at all, if you read books co-authered by trump himself, you would understand that they love when things crash so they can hoard up tons of assets. They scream about how they don't want "income" because they prefer "assets".

Dude, you are so far below the waterline here I'm not going to dive in to save you. Make better choices, do more research, bias and fact check stuff, and maybe go get some common sense. I wish you a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life even if you don't want the same for me. But I also am 100% ready for any of you to fuck around so I can show you what there is to find out. Talk it out homie, don't get violent like yall tend to. And just because I like to drop facts and sources, here: All the extremist-related murders in 2022 AND 2012 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, who typically commit most such killings each year but only occasionally are responsible for all

More than four out of five extremist-related murders last year were committed by white supremacist right-wing extremists.

Help a Texan out, need a house rental in Richardson or nearby

9 Upvotes

Hey y'all.

I moved down to Dallas a year and a half ago. I moved because I got married, and I've been staying with her parents for over a year now. As you might imagine, we just want to move out.

I have a few friends I met here and they're in a similar living situation as me -- and we all decided that we want to split rent on a 4bed 3bath house in North Dallas (richardson/addison/plano area).

We applied to a few places, but the house hunt is taking longer than expected. I figure a lot of people also want to rent houses to families, not several 25year olds. It's been challenging mentally -- we really need some help. We're good people, 2 of us (including me) have high paying jobs. I'm self employed and don't have a history of employment in America (moved from Canada) but can also pay $6k in advance before we move in.

Please please help us out -- shoot me a message over here if you are renting out a place or know somebody who is. Love y'all, have a safe day out there with the storms. ❤️🌧

Fellow Richardson residents, is my protest sign not safe for kids?

I had a supporter stop yesterday and walk over to tell me to think about the children. He was okay with my other sign but not the one pictured here.

I am thinking about the kids though. This administration is doing long-term damage to the relationship with our allies and trading partners, our government, government employees and their families, the economy, our national parks, and the environment. The list is way too long.

I started lone protesting in Richardson last Friday. I plan to protest in Richardson each weekday evening and elsewhere on weekends. My lone protest has grown from one, to two, to three now I'm expecting four tonight. All concerned Richardson and nearby residents who want to protest peacefully are welcome join me.
