Asking for a friend..

Hi

Tomorrow Dallas PD is interviewing someone for a job as a cop, who is currently in the middle of a divorce after his wife caught him with CP, he is also associated with the Proud Boys and is exceptionally racist.

He is ex military and I imagine on paper probably has the credentials to get the job. I want to somehow notify the PD without getting involved because A) I know this person personally, and not a big list of people who know this about him and B) I do not want the police in my personal business as what I do for a living is generally frowned upon. Any advice?

So coming from Out of state I saw the huge amount of luxury apartments in Dallas. And online it looked amazing. But once I came to town, I started touring them.

The only thing luxury about these thin walled dorms with fresh paint is the price.

Are there any solid built apartments in this city? Or do I just have to rent a house. I mean the price of some of these apartments is outrageous

PLEASE VOTE.

Im actually LEAVING Dallas but I'm trying to excape a borderline abusive household and my flight is on a day that my dad doesnt work so I kiiiiiinda need to stash my bags so he doesnt see me walking out the front door with them.

EDIT: who downvoted me? Why? Its an honest question

EDIT 2: I took the suggestions to ask a friend and asked my DM from my DnD group. She lives a lil ways away but she agreed to help so. That's taken care of hopefully. I'll try to post an update to this sometime next week once I'm out of state.

Also does Dallas get a decent amount of rain? I here we are currently in a drought....

Good morning guys I was wondering if there is a shelter who could take a mom and 2yo son positive for coronavirus and our small dog. Im hitting brick walls w/211 and resources online. Nowhere has ability to let us isolate as far as I can tell??? We have no option other than my car for 5 more days due to waitng on last check from work (laid off/closed business) and unfortunately cannot get a motel again/keep purchasing gas. My car heater cant keep up and we are miserable. Would prefer to stay near the 635/35 area due to gas and fear of driving....just cant handle the cold anymore. Im sorry I cant broadcast my info as we are hiding after a domestic.

12:20PM edit* Thank you all so much! We will be good for a couple of nights and I think we have a temporary foster for our dog ❤ We are about to check in to a room right now and I don't have words for how relieved I am right now. Life has had me pretty negative and jaded lately but you guys have proven how we are surrounded by so much good. I am looking into every resource posted as well! I am so thankful for you all and will pay it forward as fast as we can. I hope you all are warm and safe as well. Thank you again!

This is more of a response to this older post that I didn't get a chance to comment on and the recent racism I have faced as an asian in Dallas.

I live in Uptown and my workplace is in Downtown so I spend most of my days in these areas. My father is half-Chinese and my mom is Polish but I look mostly white except for my eyes. In the last 6 months I have had people spit on me, cough on me or just say vile racist things to me on the streets in broad daylight on a weekly basis. This harassment is coming from everyone, from white middle aged blue collar workers to younger minorities of other races. There will be dozens of people around us and not a single bystander cares when a racist tells me to go back to my country, blames me for coronavirus or spits on me.

For the past few weeks I have actually been avoiding wearing my mask because I look less asian without it and I have had significantly less racist attention. But in buildings or when I leave my mask on in public then I'll catch some flack.

I know a lot of Texans like to dismiss racism, especially against asians, and I have seen more than a few do it on Reddit but this is really happening to asians literally all the time in our city. Here is another example - he is a Korean who lives and works in Uptown and he is speaking up about the exact same thing I'm going through. He says and his asian teammates and coworkers are experiencing it on a daily basis.

I'm surprised that more people haven't witnessed this unless you aren't going out much in Uptown or Downtown. I don't look particularly asian and I'm 6'3 and not exactly skinny so I can't imagine I'm feeling the full brunt of the racism. Every single asian person I have spoken to at work and a few of my friends have dealt with multiple occurrences of this.

Oh, and definitely do not go to the reopened bars or clubs as an asian. I was walking around the area with a buddy at night and there were tons of drunk people yelling "fuck covid!" and "fuck masks!" which quickly devolved into "fuck china!" "fuck the chinese!" and some "fucking asians!". You can find some tik toks or youtube videos of the same shit.

How are you managing these high temps? Any tips would be appreciated.

I would like to get my tubes tied. I've been told that it can be difficult to find a doctor who will preform the procedure on women my age. Please send me recommendations if you know of any doctor in the area who will. Thank you!

Edit: To be clear, I am not asking for opinions on whether or not I should get, or be able to get this procedure. I am not going to change my mind. I encourage you to make the best choices for yourself. I also encourage you to direct your concerns, and the energy youre using to have those concerns, somewhere that isn't a complete waste of time. Go for a jog, pick up a new skill, fold that pile of clean laundry in the corner of your room.

If this post breaks sub rules, I'm sorry, but I just gotta say it. THANK YOU for being so awesome! I've lived in Dallas my whole life, and try to answer questions when I can, but I didn't realize how friendly this sub was until I had an *awful* experience asking for recommendations and help on another city's sub that I'm visiting in the next couple of months. The folks there were so rude and unhelpful that I can only hope that my actual experience in their city isn't anything like my experience in their sub.

I'm proud to be a Dallasite, and I'm proud to be part of such a helpful, friendly group. THANK YOU for representing my community so well.
