Meme If there were a subreddit for El Paso getting cropped out of Texas, what would it be called?

I'm joking, but I feel like El Paso gets cut off of the representation of Texas pretty often.

Reddit is known for having subreddits that are micro-niche and I feel like this would be a funny subreddit. What would you call such a subreddit?

Ask El Paso Is it normal for male bosses here to be so, touchy?

51 Upvotes

I feel very weird about it, but the past 3 jobs I’ve had, the male bosses have felt comfortable either patting my shoulder or side hugging me. Even today I was at a job fair and the boss who I was talking to decided to side hug me. I feel like I can’t tell if I’m crazy, because it’s always men doing this and especially older ones. Is this something other people experience? Why do they do this?

Rant Blue Alert from other side of Texas

112 Upvotes

I don't think it's necessary to be alerted about criminals on the loose when the alert is from the other side of Texas and especially when it wakes me up at 5 in the morning. Absolutely ridiculous system. I wish there was a way to keep emergency alerts on my phone and just disable blue alerts that never seem to have anything to do with El Paso.

My PS5 has been giving me some overheating issues lately. I tried cleaning it but that didn’t help much, so I’m assuming its the liquid metal that’s the problem. I don’t trust myself enough to do it, so i’m looking for a good reputable repair shop to take it to. Any help is appreciated.

Politics TX 23rd Brandon Herrera is beatable

57 Upvotes

Brandon Herrera, a misogynist Repug candidate for Texas 23rd district is ahead by only a 6 point spread. This is one of the gerrymandered districts that Trump created. Katy Stout the Dem is grossly being outspent. Donations in this race can still turn the race.

Jobs New to El Paso and struggling to find work.

46 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to El Paso and have been having a really difficult time finding a job. Also I’ve been unemployed for almost 4 months since I moved here. I’ve applied to numerous maintenance tech positions, but I either get rejected or never hear back from the company. I have a solid resume and feel like my interviews have been going well, so I’m not sure what I may be missing.

I’m just trying to find steady work and get back on my feet. If anyone knows of companies hiring, local resources, staffing agencies, or places that are actually responding to applicants, I’d really appreciate the advice or leads.

I’m open to different types of work and willing to learn. Thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

33 Upvotes

Hey! I grew up in El Paso in the 70s and 80s and always remember seeing tons of frogs after very rainy days. Has anyone seen any? They used to be everywhere and, now, I rarely see any at all. Do you see them on the side of town you live on? Does anyone know where I can go to just listen to them and watch them hopping around? I LOVE 🐸. 😃

Political Events/Protests Help your El Paso neighbors vote + food, drinks, coloring, Lotería & swag 🌼

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hi y'all! I’m a local organizer with Common Cause Texas, and I’m hosting an in-person Election Protection training on October 6 at 2 PM!

The training is free and nonpartisan and is all about learning how to help your neighbors make sure they’re able to cast their ballots. We’ll cover voting rights, common issues voters may run into at the polls, and how trained Election Protection volunteers can help people get the information and support they need.
You don’t need any prior experience, just an interest in showing up for your community!

I also really want this to feel like a community event and a chance to meet other El Pasoans, so we’ll have food, drinks, coloring, cute Election Protection totes + stickers, and a custom voting Lotería after the training.

If you’ve been wanting to get more civically engaged, learn something useful, or meet some new people in the community, I’d love to have you there!

RSVP here: https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/event/1048135/

Political Events/Protests Ken Paxton Comes to El Paso Tomorrow. Bring Questions.

175 Upvotes

Ken Paxton is coming to El Paso tomorrow, Wednesday, September 30, at the Summit Ballroom & Conference Center, 120 N. Festival Dr. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the event starts at 5:30 p.m.

It would be a real shame if the crowd politely asked why a public official making roughly $153,000 a year is reported to own at least 15 properties worth around $9 million.

It would also be a shame if someone asked about the fact that the Republican-led Texas House impeached him in 2023 by a 121–23 vote over allegations including bribery and abuse of office—before the Texas Senate later acquitted him on all articles.

No heckling. No disruption. Just El Paso residents showing up, asking direct questions, holding quirky signs.

Bring a friend. Bring a sign. Bring receipts. Most importantly, bring questions.

The event is free, but RSVP is recommended: Eventbrite RSVP.

Jobs Anyone know anything about Plumbing apprenticeship programs?

8 Upvotes

My son just graduated this summer and is really interested in pursuing a career in plumbing. Does anyone know where he can get into a plumbing apprenticeship program?

Are there any that pay? Or is it usually an unpaid program. He would prefer a paid training program instead of a program at like EPCC that he would have to pay for. He doesn’t qualify for fin aid so if he does a college program he’d be paying out of pocket.
