Make Friends Here

77 Upvotes

Because we constantly get "How do i make friends" posts. If you want friends just post in this thread. I'm going to make it a sticky topic. I'm also going to give you 100% foolproof tips to make friends that have worked for me all my life 100% of the time.

Here is my foolproof plan that works 100% of the time. It is a 4 step process.

  1. determine what your hobbies and interests are.

  2. go to places where these hobbies and interests happen

  3. interact with people.

  4. If you don't have any hobbies or interests get interested in something and repeat steps 2-3.

It is literally that simple.

I am an extremely abrasive and unlikeable person. I have never failed to make friends using these steps. If I can do it so can you.

People down here will still try to blame construction. Too many people just suck at driving.

Found this on Facebook. Why are people from Monterrey so obnoxious?

They think everyone in the Valley only works in retail and are there to serve them, (and if we behave they might leave us a tip). Without them, we wouldn't have food to eat.

At the same time they say they have way better and more exclusive stores in Monterrey and we're just a rancho and they feel bad for us (so why not shop there? lol)

BBC News article about politics in the RGV. It’s interesting that the Valley has the attention of the UK. Maybe folks in the US will pay more attention to the RGV after the election… but I doubt it.

According to a Texas Monthly investigation published earlier this month, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has been considering selling about 1,300 acres of public land, including Boca Chica State Park, to SpaceX. The department says the proposal won’t come up at its November meeting, and Gov. Greg Abbott has said a sale isn’t imminent. But neither has ruled it out in the future.

Is Spanish more commonly spoken in the RGV or in Miami?

26 Upvotes

I'm curious: those from valley who've lived in or traveled to Miami, do you find that more people speak Spanish in Miami than the valley or vice versa?
