April 25: What was the first thing that you did when you got your driver's license?

Sooo, the thing about that is...

...I never got my driver's license.
I don't drive :/

Tell me about it! On top of all that, there's an unsettling amount of hatred towards pedestrians and cyclists who also use the roads :(

Where I'm at now there's no buses, but they do have fantastic metro systems in places like Houston, Austin, etc. (and Galveston has trolleys!).

You're in the RGV ya?

I'm in southeast TX, pretty close to the Gulf Coast. The town I'm in is relatively small and rural, but Galveston and Houston are only like an hour away for those who do drive.

I was in McAllen and Donna, TX in the summer of 2019. I sorta like that area. The food was good! McAllen being a college town had a lot of cool things going on there. The Coast Guard almost sent me to Port Arthur, TX for a year plus, but I was able to get out of it. In hindsight, I wish I had gone as it would have resulted in some cool experiences.

I like Texas, but the politics and lack of concern for its people suck.

Have you seen "hell or high water?"

I've never been to McAllen or Donna, but I have a friend who worked in McAllen and they seemed to have liked it pretty well, especially in comparison to surrounding areas.

"I like Texas, but the politics and lack of concern for its people suck."

My sentiments exactly. Texas actually has a lot of great food and landscapes, interesting people, good music, etc. but unfortunately all we're known for rn is racist, slack jawed red-hats and platinum blonde Stepford tradwives. :(

EDIT: also no, I haven't seen Hell or High Water yet. Should I have?

Hell or High Water is an AMAZING movie. It's a sociopolitical commentary about Texas life, and it's set against bank robberies. incredible film.
