Oklahoma

I’m an out of state transplant. Been here long enough now. It’s growing on me, but i still feel pretty out of place here. I’m a black pilled atheist son of a bitch though which is a hard fit for conservative god country. I travel a lot throughout the state and meet a huge swathe of people too so not exactly pigeoned hole in a corner.

the tribal shit is weird. Lot of posers aka Rachel doziels running around, but the Indian presence is real. our own version of joggers depending on the area while other tribes are very very good to their people. Tons of rural small towns connected together, more so than any other state I’ve been in.

I prefer OKC to Tulsa. We love to put women in prison and pay our teachers shit ( can’t compete with neighbors). Decent govt presence if you’re employeed in that area.


Healthcare a big big sector too. IT not as much, but growing. I get what you mean by that drab feeling. It goes away over time. I’m in South Carolina for a project now and just simple things like the type of vegetation is a game changer.



Flat is flat. Can’t explain that. If wife and I stay here we will definitely buy a lake house to get out of the burbs.


A Ted Cruz state through and through, if that makes any sense. Old. Conservatives. Tulsa has a budding wannabe BLM with Greenwood and old money whites are happy to virtue signal. Meh lots to say, not moving anytime soon. University of Tulsa is a very good school if you have STEM kids. OU is a growing liberal shithole. I’m pretty sure they still fuck cows at OSU. It’s a traditional red state where republicans will sell out their people for cash aka rmoney. Slowly changing. The governor is a bit better than expected but pretty cardboard on the issues.


I’ve never met so many people that think they’re cowboys that live in the burbs. Strong LEO/military/family influence which is a good thing. It does feel like the last couple of years we’ve been “protected” from a lot of shit going on…but it’s seeping in.



Tulsa is ugly. It has a giant oil refinery on its west side. The river is dammed and is a creek. maybe someone needs to educate me on it more…but it’s clean and has some good architecture. not surprising amount of homeless. OKC has a lot of Mexicans.



Just my 2c from someone’s who has lived in both places. The weather is another factor to consider. tornados be real, or rushing to get your kids from daycare because your area is about to be buttfucked by storms. If that’s a big concern stay the hell away from Moore.

Seems to me like all the tornados moved east

Time is a flat circle. tornados and OK aren’t divorcing anytime soon.


Very little properties have basements (clay). Having a decent shelter is a good safety measure. Warning systems are good enough but not full proof (good example of tornado in Tulsa about 4 years ago. EAS botched the call and didn’t sound sirens and within the 15 min sweep it landed and traveled a full mile in a populated area).



A workable garage shelter is around 8k and is a good selling point too.

Cool barn / shed / garage / workshop / chip fab

This was some good shtuff!


Not very viscousy, and a bit clearer than what I'm used to but tasty stuff.

Alright renting a c8 in a couple weeks, who had a list of maybe some good roads to go cruise around tulsa preferably east of it.

Does Oklahoma have scenic drives around Tulsa?

If no one else chimes in, maybe drive down to Eufaula and around the lake? Outside of Hwy 69, there looks like there is a lot of long straight roads, but, if you are going to make a high speed run, make sure you drive down the road at least once first to get a feel and check for hazards. Google maps streetview is also a great way to check out places you might want to go to.

Plus, you could stop by the Ninja Training Center (just found it scrolling around google maps)!
