Anyone know of any trans or otherwise LGBT meetups or communities in Merced?

I'm seeing mixed reviews online, but they have a car I'm looking for at a great price. I'm from far away but within driving distance.

They are pouring foundation for the new medical complex at the UC

Hey everyone, I know I post a lot here about board game stuff, but it looks like we might have a mini con at the Merced mall soon. So I was wondering what are all your favorite board games you like to play? Old and new. We would love to have multiple games at our event and people.

Is there anywhere in the area where people play casual pickup basketball?

This is my first ticket and I am in need of some assistance. 

I got a speeding ticket going 29 over. The total came out to be more than $600 since the officer said ‘I am not allowed any tint at all on my front driver and passenger side’ and gave me a citation for that. I was told that I can write a mitigation letter to the judge asking for a reduction in the fine and/or no points to be put on my license since that will increase insurance. Since I was going a lot over the limit, I was thinking of having the mitigation letter being focused on requesting traffic school since a reduction is unlikely. I was also told from one of my friends that I have a chance to contest the ticket since the officer put the wrong model of my car. 

If I was to write a mitigation letter, this is what I have so far: 

I am writing to respectfully request your consideration for the elimination of points being added to my license by requesting  traffic school in relation to the speeding ticket I received on {date}. I fully acknowledge my mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. However, I am hoping that you might consider my financial situation when reviewing my case. Adding points to my license would increase my insurance rates, placing an additional challenge on me that I simply cannot afford.

This is my first offense, and I regret the incident and understand the importance of adhering to traffic laws. I am committed to being a safer and more cautious driver going forward. 

I kindly ask for your leniency in allowing me to avoid having points added to my license by attending traffic school. 

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I truly appreciate any leniency you may be able to offer, and I remain fully committed to learning from this experience

I heard of them bringing this to merced but didnt know they were bringing it as a truck

I am trying to find a new job and have had no luck finding anything in merced. right now I commute 74 miles round trip just to work ~10 hours a week and it's tough.

everywhere I've applied I don't hear back. I have been working since 2016 and I have experience doing tech support, coaching/instructing youths, and working front desk. I have no criminal history, am sober and will pass a drug test, and have my own vehicle.

I can type 110 wpm, can repair computers and electronics, am confident I can learn whatever is required of me for a job, and do well in leadership positions. I'm looking for part time and full time. thanks for any help you can offer :)

Did anyone see the undercover white trucks arresting/detaining bunch of people outside of Food 4 Less and at the Food Center? Around 2ish? And has pictures or videos of the incident and can dm me it please!

Any place in Merced that still offers line dancing? I'd like to try it!

Hello everyone. Please I'd like to know who has visited DMV recently. I am preparing to go for my license and I would like to know what questions I should prepare to face as per the computer test. Thanks all

I’ve noticed an increase in pop up restaurants on the side of the road. Like food trucks without the trucks. Not judging but curious to know what that’s about. I’m not from Merced but I’ve been here a couple years now. Is this normal practice here or new? Has anyone stopped to eat there? I’ve seen one in front of planet fitness on R street and yesterday a bunch in downtown. Any details?

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to announce the launch of Coffi News, a new app that tracks California bills and Merced City Council reports. We take the legal jargon and transform it into easy-to-read, bite-sized summaries, so you can stay informed about what lawmakers are doing and how it impacts you—without taking up too much of your time.

We’d love your feedback and support as we work to make this information more accessible for everyone.

Merced is such a wonderful place. So I had my bike stolen today...it was parked where I usually park it in front of the house and chained as usual. When it was time for me to go and pick my son from school (cause we both bike to school), I came out and...the chain was cut and the bike gone😊. I hope whoever took it gets to use it for a good purpose because the bike was my car...I use it to take my son to school and to go get groceries for my family. And I hope we have a safer environment too.

Hello, I'm a student that went to UC Merced and no longer decided it was for me and now no longer need to say in Merced. However my Lease isn't over till the end of July. I'm renting a 4 person apartment, $1285 a month. Looking for female tenants only as the other tenants are female only. Willing to cover 1st month rent. Any more questions please message me.

Hello! My fiance and I are looking for a couple private dance lessons over the next few months to hopefully embarrass ourselves slightly less on our wedding night.

Does anyone know of some recommendations? Everything I see online is ballet or dance troupes.

Saw this on 16th and R, at 6:15am.

Any crochet and/or knitting groups in Merced? I know the library has one but unfortunately they meet during work hours.
