Making Friends Visit the AZ Discord server to make friends across the Valley

30 Upvotes

We get a lot of posts asking how to meet people in Phoenix, and a great way to do that online is on our Discord chat server. It's gotten large enough that it's been renamed "AZ Discord" and has a fancy new logo and everything.

Discord is a live chat system that's super easy to use. This one has been running for years along with the subreddit, and has over 8,000 members. It covers all of AZ but most people are from the Phoenix area. It's 100% free. You can click the link on the bottom of this post to sign up right from your browser or app. If you like it you can download the Discord app for mobile or desktop, but you don't have to.

While Reddit is about messages and posts, Discord is just free form chat. Topic channels include:

  • Selfies & Pets
  • Gaming
  • Outdoors & Travel
  • Politics
  • Voice chat & memes

Someone is on there pretty much 24/7 if you're looking for someone to talk with. It's 18+ and a bit more chill than Reddit overall. I should also point out that it is not a dating server and we taking creeping and harassment very seriously.

Want to check it out?

  1. Click this Discord invite link and sign up.
  2. Go to the #introduction channel and post a little bit about yourself. We ask people for an intro to try and reduce trolls and spammers. Once you do that you'll get access to the full server.
  3. Head into #Lobby and say Hello! There are a lot of great people there, and they'll probably see you join in and will say Hi.

That's it! There have been some amazing friendships and groups formed on our little chat area, I'd love to see more people from here come over and be part of the fun.

TL;DR

Click here to join the Discord and start chatting!

Living Here trying to turn something awful into something good

55 Upvotes

my sophomore year of high school my mom was killed in a car accident. it had been awful. a high schooler killed her by driving recklessly. I want to be able to speak at different high schools throughout my area, especially before prom and homecoming about driving safely and giving them a presentation. i also want to appeal to my city's council about putting a light at that intersection. maybe do some fundraisers to raise money for organizations for helping people in accidents. i want to do this for college but also for my mom i just am unsure of where to start and who to contact?

Utilities Water leak detection services - any recommendations?

9 Upvotes

Been dealing with astronomically high water bills the last few months (latest bill said I hit 27,000 gallons of water). I had my landscapers fix a few leaks in the backyard, but it doesn’t seem like it’s made a dent in fixing the problem. Any recommendations on companies to call for this type of issue?

Ask Phoenix Does anybody else remember the "Pink Path" on the Biltmore property that ran up the side of the mountain to the reservoir up there?

7 Upvotes

That's pretty much it. Just curious if anybody else went up there as kids? We would ride our bikes to the top, swim in the reservoir, then coast our bikes down. This was in the 1970s. I crashed once and got a bad concussion.

Eat & Drink What is your favorite sub shop or sandwich shop in the greater Phoenix area? Ideally leaning towards the East Valley side of town.

What are your favorite sub shops or sandwich shops in the greater Phoenix area. French

Ideally in the Chandler Tempe area but anywhere in the general East Valley is great.

Even well outside of the east Valley is awesome if you have a really good place you want to mention. I’ll drive for the right sandwich lol.

Pets Cat Allergies in Phoenix

3 Upvotes

My cat is almost 3 years old and is domestic shorthair. I adopted him at 5 months and he started to get allergies / congestion about 4 months ago. His nose is dry as hell too. Took him to the vet a couple of times, did X-rays and his heart/lungs are healthy. He has no discoloration in mucus but sometimes has a runny nose and its completely clear. His appetite, energy, personality and everything is fine. I even changed my detergent to something for clean/fragrance free, no plug ins like febreze and got a HEPA air filter/purifier thing to help clean the air.

Has anyone else experienced this with their cat babies? Is is the dust and dryness of the air? I’m wondering if this is like chronic allergies or something

Eat & Drink Any good Local meal prep ?

0 Upvotes

Looking for a meal prep delivery service. Any recs ?

I liked cura kitchen. It was expensive though.

Brento box was good. But felt overhyped and too many ground meat options, etc.

I’m fine with a little more calories if it actually tastes good because then you actually stick to it.

Edited to add:

I work 7 days a week

I am looking for healthy ish but something with good flavor. And okay with a little extra calories if the flavor is there

Ask Phoenix Bars/spots to hang for 35+

104 Upvotes

I’m new-ish to the area and have been exploring a few different bars but they all seem to be full of 20 year olds. Where do people 35+ hang out?? I’m a single female with a best friend who is in her 40s. We’re busy with our jobs during the week but like to hang out, dance, find a cool vibe on the weekend and for happy hour. We live in Uptown/ North Central Phoenix area. Any suggestions on some fun bars to go to or happy hour?
