Politics Progressives in okc

For okies that lean far left politically how do you cope living in such a far red state like Oklahoma?

Are you able to find like minded communities? Does the bat shit insane polites of your state affect your mental health?

I'm considering a possible move to OKC in the future but few things worry me, I don't drive nor have a driver's license and live on a tight fixed sad income so public transit is a must I hear it's piss poor in OKC, I lean very far left politically, and i am fucking scared shitless of 🌪️ tornadoes.

I’m looking for the best, richest (not necessarily sweet) chocolate cake you can think of. I’d really prefer a cake from a bakery. Really willing to drive anywhere and no price range

❓Q&A ✅ Getting hired on at Tinker?

24 Upvotes

I am just curious if anyone has any tips or tricks when trying to get hired on at Tinker. I am 39 year old male (40 in December) with my bachelors degree. I have tried to apply numerous times over the years, but have never even gotten a call back. I am really hoping to get some advice on how to get my foot in the door and work for the federal government for a good 20-25 years before I retire. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Recommendation/Review Endocrinologist recommendations in OKC

3 Upvotes

Hello!
I am looking for a good endo in OKC! I used to see Lacey Campbell and loved her but she left the practice I go to and they gave me a new lady but she changed my pump settings and I’ve had the worst few weeks of my diabetes ever with really dangerous lows and it’s really hard to get a hold of their office.

Hopefully someone has a good recommendation!!

News 📰 Damon Lane on Ch 5

0 Upvotes

Bear with me - but why is Damon Lane always standing on one leg and then shifting to the other leg during his weather segments? The guy never stands with both feet on the ground

Is it gas and he’s trying to get comfy?
Maybe the Whiteys are a bit too tighty?
Restless leg syndrome?
Comes from a family of balancing circus performers?

I realize it’s a stupid Q but every time I see the dude, his one-legged fidgeting body language makes it look like he’s gotta get to the bathroom ASAP instead of giving us the weather lowdown

🤣

❓Q&A ✅ Loud noise/shaking in NW OKC

18 Upvotes

Did anyone else hear a loud noise around the NW Expressway/County Line area at around 8:15-8:18 p.m.? I heard a loud noise, almost sounding like an explosion. My dad called me and he asked if I heard it and I said yes, and he said he did too and that his house was shaking a little bit. I didn’t feel any shaking from where I live, but I did hear it—and it was loud. At first I thought “maybe it was a dumpster hitting the ground,” but then I realized that it is past 8 p.m., so no trucks should be out picking up the large metal dumpsters. This was not the sound of the plastic ones we have.

Any guesses? I haven’t been able to find anything on the news or in other community chats, so I’m sure it wasn’t anything serious.

EDIT: Not 100% sure but someone on my Ring app said it was potentially a firework because they saw a smoke cloud drifting from where a party was going on. I’ve personally never heard a firework that loud before, nor has one ever shaken my or my parents’ house.

That's all. I miss them. My wife and I took a drive during fall break. We went on the Talimina Drive and on into Arkansas. We ended up in Beebe Arkansas at the only brick and mortar Shorty Smalls. It was as good as I remembered. Wish they would come back our way. Anyone else?

Recommendation/Review Best piercing shops in OKC?

1 Upvotes

Doesn’t have to be in OKC specifically, just preferable. And pretty cheap too? Like ranging 40-90, I’m a little broke lol

I’ve been wanting a septum piercing for a while and I’ve shown some interest in 23rd Street Body Piercing but I’ve seen a few bad reviews about them piercing through the cartilage instead of the actual sweet spot…

Can anyone give me some recommendations?

Recommendation/Review Vocal coaches?

5 Upvotes

I am thinking about getting my mom vocal lessons for Christmas. Anyone have suggestions on vocal coaches? She is in OKC on the north west side, she used to do 1 on 1 lessons as a kid, but doesn't mind group classes. She is a pretty good singer but certainly still amateur. I really dont want to Whiplash her or anything. She is a teacher so it has to be open in the evening or weekends. I'm not sure what other questions to ask about a vocal coach lol

❓Q&A ✅ Are OKC utilities just way higher than Norman on average?

Post image
32 Upvotes

The left is our highest bill we ever paid with Norman utilities for our water bill, and the left is our current water bill with OKC. Our average in Norman was like $80 typically.

We just moved over here 2 months ago, and we don't do anything different with our water use than we did when we were in Norman.

Does OKC just have way higher base prices??
