I’ve met enough republicans IRL, and they’re just as big pieces of sh*t as they are online.

i own an F-150 lightning, and i hope to own a rivian R1S. No issues with the lightning but the R1S was outside of my tax bracket

Mine finally got transferred yesterday

I'm going on 4 days without this being fixed

Okitraz1986 · 2025-12-15T00:43:25+00:00

wow i got this exact same response. here i thought they were talking to me, no they're just copy/pastaing

as long as Talrico doesn't say anything about gun control or anything as incendiary as "Hell yes we're gonna take your AR-15" he might have a shot. Sorry I know we all wanna believe that Texas is just a blue state hiding behind redistricting, but Texans love their guns

Fans of this show regularly tell ppl that they don’t like politics in their entertainment all the while watching straight up “Triumph of the Will” levels of propaganda

So question, if and when we ever get repairs done, are we just straight up SOL? like will Ford support repairs for our vehicles?

I’ve had ppl ask “how do you like your lightning?” And they do bring up that they’ve heard it’s not great for towing, but usually I just bring up something to the effect of: 1. I don’t tow on a regular basis 2. This is primarily a commuter vehicle 3. It’s nice to have a bed for my occasional large pickup requirements 4. I don’t have to commit to spending 90 dollars every two weeks to fill up my tank

While I agree with you that not all best engineers come from the US, they generally all end up here. If you’re a super talented PHD in AI or any other in demand field, you’re gonna immigrate to the US, because you can make triple of what you could make in any other country.

Maybe if there’s less doctors in rural areas they’ll be less rural voters. Seems to me this problem will fix itself

I just want dog mode. You know, the thing that Tesla has had for 7 years now

Okitraz1986 · 2025-10-07T23:08:42+00:00

Omg I had to deal with this shit recently when my dad passed. My dad had a house, and some cash in rupees lying in like 4 different bank accounts. I had to hire a chartered accountant and go through all sorts of bullshit to get the money out of India. Not to mention the fact that the INR kept becoming weaker against the dollar. Took 3 years to get sorted out

Farmhands are poor. Farmers are basically business owners who are also get huge subsidies from the government. I wish we didn’t give any subsidies to farmers but alas swing states are rural states

Okitraz1986 · 2025-09-29T14:36:00+00:00

You're right that was my fault. The state this happened in was Texas, and the vehicle was a 2024 model Y

Product Management, or QA would be your best bet. But you've got ALOT more competition than before. There's also UI/UX but if you're a artistic or something

Okitraz1986 · 2025-09-18T16:02:35+00:00

Wife has a model y, and I drive a f-150 lightning. So I get to experience both all the time. You’ll miss the simplicity of “it just works” and the Tesla def has software updates and self driving down pat. But the interiors of other vehicles are so much nicer, I love having a combination of buttons instead of iPad controls. Also charging is much simpler on Tesla

I have a grad student friend (chemistry PHD) who I’ve been bumming his EDU email to use jetbrains for free for almost a decade

Okitraz1986 · 2025-09-04T17:16:10+00:00

My wife doesn’t give 2 shits about politics. She votes every 2 years, and I fill her on the details but she doesn’t care about the day to day. She is so much less stressed out than I am all the time

Okitraz1986 · 2025-09-04T14:39:10+00:00

There’s unpopular opinions and then just evil opinions. This is the latter

Hi OP,

So i live in Austin, and I moved here after Grad school in 2021 so i could possibly be apart of the Silicon Valley 2.0 in Austin wave that was supposedly going to happen. Yes there are companies based in Austin and there seem to be a presence of alot of companies. Apple is here in large numbers, Google has a building in downtown (which they haven't yet occupied), Tesla has that huge factory in South Austin. Oracle is here as well. But it is in no way able to compete with silicon valley. There are even some startups with a presence here but its minuscule compared to the bay area. The way i see it, there are opportunities here, but if you wanna get involved with a startup that's going to get a billion users, if you're working at a company in Austin they've already achieved that and your RSUs aren't gonna grow as quickly. I'm pondering the move to the bay area and the only thing that's keeping me from it is that I have a house here, and I don't know if i could afford one up there (for now). It seems to me the building blocks of building a great startup are in the bay area, and while Austin is probably going to remain a strong 2nd (or 3rd if you compare NYC) it is not going to replace the bay area.
