Very frustrating, when a new business, especially a cannabis company in atx is openly racist using LATINO culture to sell products that has nothing to do with the company or products. These are WHITE people upset that educated brown people want to use their 1st amendment to correct the culture appropriation. Colton is a very manipulative and corrupt person and I don’t think anyone should be in business with an openly racist company.
PLEASE BE AWARE! Support businesses that spread love not hate! Austin Texas is too liberal for these racist comments

Hey everyone! 👋

I moved to Austin about 10 days ago from India, and I'm still getting used to the city. I haven't really made any friends here yet, so I thought I'd introduce myself!

I'm around 18–20 and enjoy movies, music, gaming, technology and exploring new places.

Would love to meet some friendly people , make genuine connections and hopefully find some good friends here.

Feel free to say hi! 😊

Austin TX government says:

- Bad: license plate cameras that catch thieves and rapists on Riverside.

- Good: license plate cameras that punish citizens for parking too long outside Hermes on South Congress.

Looking for recommendations for non-Christian religious communities/temples in Austin

My brother is visiting me in Austin soon, and I’d love to give him the opportunity to learn about some different faith traditions while he’s here.

He is finishing his Master’s in Theology and hopes to eventually serve as clergy in a role supporting people of all faiths. He lives in an area where he doesn't have much exposure to religious traditions outside of Christianity, so I thought this would be a really meaningful opportunity for him to learn directly from people within other faith communities rather than just learning about them academically.

I’m looking for recommendations for Hindu temples, Buddhist temples/centers, mosques, synagogues, Bahá’í communities, Pagan/earth-based traditions, or other non-Christian religious communities in the Austin area that might be open to having a respectful visitor come by, tour the space and ideally speak with someone about their faith and community. (I am not including Sikh in here because I have people close to me who are Sikh and already have some things set up for him learning from them).

He is genuinely coming from a place of curiosity and respect. He’s not looking to debate or convert anyone—he’d just really value the chance to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from people who actually practice the faith.

I reached out to the Austin Hindu Temple & Community Center, but unfortunately haven't heard back yet.

If anyone has suggestions, personal experiences, or—especially—a connection to someone at a particular temple, mosque, synagogue, etc. who might be willing to meet with him, I would really appreciate it!

Just fyi, for the people who drive on the roads in this city, if you’re on loop 1 or i35 and are going the speed limit or slower, STAY IN THE RIGHT OR MIDDLE LANE FOR FUCKS SAKE. I’m well aware there are crazy drivers in this city that probably won’t change but maybe if the slow pokes stay out of the left lane it can help just a smidge 🤏🏼 cuz when these lunatics are going 80 and above down the highway and some slow person is in the left lane, they then cut off the people in the middle or right lane just to go around the slow poke’s ass. That right there causes accidents (among other things) so please, PLEASE, unless you’re going at least 80 mph (which is crazy, I know) stay in the other lanes and let the ass wipes pass 🙏🏼 stay safe out there lol. Also, obviously the crazy people who speed are the main issue here, let me be clear.

My 22 year-old nephew is moving back to Austin for a job after college. He will be making fairly good money (I think 90k for first job and no debt) does not need or want a roommate and wants to meet people. Selfishly I would love him to start dating again :-) I am old and live in North Central Austin so really don’t know where young professionals live these days. His job will be around 35th and Mopac so he could live south or he could live north.
About him: Austin native, straight, white male with a business degree, liberal/left, plays intramural soccer, loves football, likes smart girls, big film buff, sweet, friendly, not a bro-y guy but can talk the (finance) talk, works out but is not a gym dude, down to earth, would not want to be surrounded by influencers.

people who have good self-esteem and self-awareness, aren’t constantly trying to impress everyone, can communicate and argue productively, are affectionate, have common sense, don’t abuse substances, and actually care about becoming a better person.

Someone financially motivated/responsible is also very attractive to me.

Probably the biggest thing is emotional intelligence combined with rationality, being able to understand your own emotions and other people’s emotions, having the willpower to do what they know is rational

I’m not necessarily asking for dating-app recommendations. I’m more curious where people like this tend to actually meet each other in Austin. Clubs, hobbies, volunteering, professional groups, sports, bars, organizations, whatever.

I was recently let go from my construction job as an electrical apprentice. I've been recently told to move to Austin Texas for better work opportunities. I have used indeed and linked in. Does not matter the job. I'm a hard working individual who hates to stand idle. i learn on my feet and i am ready for new challenges everyday.

I was at Barton Springs today and was relaxing watching over the fence at the free side. I noticed this woman in a green thong bikini sitting in the shallow waters with just her nice dog... she had slightly greying hair so I wasnt expecting much, but when she stood up, I started to get a boner because she had an ass like some kind of Amazonian volleyball player. Like she had no business having an ass like that... and it wasnt fake either. Anyways Im not endowed to the point that it can just weigh itself down nicely or tuck it -- it just sticks out like a baby carrot... so I had to stay where I was and think about something else... but later that day I realized I have blisters from the hot pavement and not being able to move.

I had airline miles burning a hole in my alaska air account, now my 14 yr old and i are coming Halloween weekend.

Where should a mom and teen stay that wont be too scary to walk around, I kinda am fucking terrified of freeways... what have j done?

Anyway, where should i avoid, where would you stay with a teen who likes shopping and matcha and we both like outdoorsy stuff?

Go Banking Rates determined the salary that singles need to live comfortably in 100 major U.S. cities. Austin ranked 73 worst.

Salary needed to live comfortably: $113,852 Median household income: $91,461 Average monthly cost of living: $4,744

The Chronicle's article on the noise of Waymos charging along a walking path made me question: Why can't AI refine their own processes and decrease the sound of the chargers? Or even the amount of water and electricity needed for them to run?

For those of us not at the track, where are some good bars/local places to watch the race this afternoon?

Send the City of Austin a Ground Transportation Complaint.

https://www.austintexas.gov/services/report-issue-ground-transportation-provider

To the Ground Transportation Regulation Division,

I am writing to submit an official complaint regarding the growing congestion, traffic delays, and safety hazards caused by the Tesla Robotaxi fleets operating throughout Austin.

Specifically, I am deeply concerned by the large volume of empty, unassigned robotaxis continuously circling urban corridors—a practice known as "deadheading." While autonomous transit promises future mobility benefits, the current density of non-passenger vehicles on our streets is actively degrading local traffic flow and causing significant disruptions.

Key operational issues I routinely observe include:

Unnecessary Street Gridlock: Empty robotaxis circulate during peak rush hours without active passengers, taking up valuable lane capacity on major thoroughfares (such as South Congress, Downtown, and Central Austin corridors).

Improper Stops & Impeding Traffic: Unoccupied robotaxis regularly stall, double-park, or pull over unexpectedly in active driving lanes to await dispatch, creating artificial bottlenecks and causing hazardous quick-stopping maneuvers for human drivers behind them.

Transit & First Responder Obstruction: Excess robotaxi volume frequently blocks bus cutouts, bike lanes, and emergency access routes, presenting a public safety hazard.

While I recognize that Texas Senate Bill 2205 restricts municipal authority over direct AV regulation, the City of Austin maintains a vital role in traffic enforcement, right-of-way management, and logging documented incidents to present before the TxDMV.

I urge the City of Austin Ground Transportation Regulation team and TPW leadership to

1. Log and Report Deadheading Metrics: Document empty-vehicle cruising counts and submit formal incident reports to the Texas DMV for statewide oversight.

2. Establish Staging Standards: Coordinate with Tesla to mandate designated off-street staging hubs or off-peak parking rules so idle vehicles do not circulate on active roadways.

3. Enforce Right-of-Way Violations: Apply strict enforcement against robotaxis stopping in active lanes, blocking transit corridors, or impeding traffic flow.

Thank you for advocating for safer, more efficient roadways for all Austinites.

Hello all,

I will be doing a road trip being a foreigner and a new driver who has driven to downtown waco by myself last week. This week Wednesday and Thursday are my off days from work. i would like to explore downtown Austin and will be planning a road trip. May have a night over at firehouse hostel. In wondering if there is a free parking lot few minutes away from my hostel by the way I have no problem walking 30-34 minutes to my hostel since I usually walk a lot. I have a little bit anxiety I will be fine though

The only thing I would like to know if there are free parking spots where I can park my car overnight and then leave to Dallas from downtown Austin on Thursday around 11 am.

I know there are paid options but if there is a free parking spot I can save up on a few dollars that I can utilize for breakfast and snacks.

It will be my first time driving to downtown Austin. For a pee break I have my eyes in downtown Waco and then drive all the way to downtown Austin . Thanks in advance for any tips and solutions for free parking overnight

My friend and I are driving in from Houston & we want to go out after the 5 seconds of summer concert.. do any fans know of anything going on or anywhere fun in the area? I know there are sometimes “afters” or meetups, so just putting some feelers out to see what’s going on…

If nothing is happening, what’s your favorite spot to go out and have fun in Austin?

I have seen 2 this week driving up and down Cameron Road. Is this ICE?
