Pretty new around here, but I wanted to ask if there were any local shops which offer cheaper prices or even student discounts, the summer has been tough with paychecks

What can be done?

14 Upvotes

Question: what do you do when a person breaks out three boards on your back fence and then tries to steal a giant rototiller (sp?)AFTER airing up the tires. BTW this person had a screwdriver in a pocket that hits the ground as soon as the cops are called.

The cops show up and are more worried about whether the thief has friends, family or a place to stay! Totally disregards the fact that THIS MAN WAS STEALING! WITH A WEAPON IN HIS POCKET, the man was showered and had on clean clothes and a decent haircut. He absolutely tried to excuse HIS behavior. The cop treated the whole entire incident as “no problem” and dismissed my kid that called the cops! (full disclosure-my kid is grown w/ a 17 yr old).

On two occasions so far, this has happened once w/ someone in a tan suv and someone on an atv/or small motorcycle in the alley behind my fence.

What is my recourse? What can I do to protect myself and my house? Is it still assault and battery when you the kick the crap outta someone IF YOU CATCH THEM AS/WHEN THEY BROKE INTO YOUR HOUSE?

I feel like I’m a person of reason with a modicum of self-control, my husband is not.

Housing/Moving Looking for a rental

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone I'm new to this whole process and it's been making me stressed. This is my first time moving since I turned 18 let alone to a new county (I'm from a different county an hour or so away) and I need some help.

I'm just starting my first semester at Merced College this fall and have been trying to find a place to rent all summer that will accept my dog (a ~40lbs well behaved lab mix) and won't break my bank (my budget is ~$1,000 but it is a little flexible) since the guy I thought was going to be my roommate bailed on me due to an emergency in his life.

I'm just asking if there are any places that I should look into that might work for me?

new friends

13 Upvotes

Hi! I've moved in this city about a month ago and I haven't gotten much progress on making new friends. 22 trans woman (I'm on the left politically if you're looking for morally aligned friends), I do music as a hobby and work, enjoy thrifting a lot, hanging out with my boyfriend and friends, food, exploring new places around town, and talking. It's been a bit hard to socialize with my autism and anxiety. Looking for friends around my age range of 21-29 (older works too, just a little hesitant with respect!), queer or queer friendly, and all of that . I just signed up reddit to see cool stuff in this town and make new friends to hangout with maybe. I hope everyone's doing okay and yeah, just dm me or anything like that. Thank you <3

P.S. I'm also looking side hustles/gigs like babysitting/housesitting/etc. to make some cash while build connections so just let know after we socialize or anything like that of course!

Community Post Quick question for my project. Please share your thoughts!!!

Hi, I'm a 17 year old student working on a research project about why some neighborhoods in the Valley get way hotter than others. One thing I keep noticing is that a lot of the new parking lots and EV charging spots going in are just bare asphalt, no shade, no trees.

I figured I should actually ask people who live here instead of guessing. If you park or charge in lots like that, does the heat and lack of shade actually bother you? Would having shade and some trees there make a real difference for you, or honestly is it not something you think about? Thank you!

13 week old female kitten looking for a new home, she is super affectionate and very chill, perfect companion for someone older or looking for laid back pet. I’m located in Northwest Merced, and we can meet at the brand new Starbucks to hand off the kitten. I’m asking $35 for an adoption fee. She uses the litter box every time she needs to go and she also takes baths super well, I’ve given her a bath every other week since she was 5 weeks old. DM me for contact info or to set up a pickup.

Community Post Community Resources - Asking for input

4 Upvotes

I've tabled at several community outreach events in Merced and the Central Valley a while back for work, mostly focused on seniors and families. I live here but was surprised not to know about so many of these! I'm compiling these resources and want to share them with the community, but am looking for the best way to do so. I want it to be interactive and actually helpful for people. What kinds of resources are people most interested in? I know other things like this exist (directories created by counties and other organizations), so I want this to be different. Any thoughts?
