Investor Sonya Huang agreed the joke hits close to home.

@ad0rnai lived in silicon valley for 22 years, never been on a VTA bus
@ad0rnai this hits too close to home lmao
you’re 16. you go to harker. your dad is a meta vp. your mom is a google pm turned ibs advocate. you go on your first date ever at the stanford shopping center delarosa.
you’ve never taken public transit. life is good
@ad0rnai In 20 years you can run for congress pretending to be the average working man
@ad0rnai you grow up an absolute nerd with no meaningful hobbies of your own and instead spend your afternoons at whatever tutoring programs are popular almost the parents and learning piano that you never play after you graduate hs
Life is NOT good
@potrepka 👀
@ad0rnai PM turned IBS advocate ☠️
@ad0rnai i find it doubtful that a kid would grow up in silicon valley with two working parents and never take caltrain once
@ad0rnai There’s a Delarosa at SSC now??? 🤣🤣🤣
@ad0rnai I’m pretty sure Harker kids go to Santana Row lol
@ad0rnai IBS advocate lmfao too accurate
I know a kid whose dad did shrooms with the Zoom CEO
People here are really fucking weird
@0xeecS @ad0rnai yeah, i guess if i were a parent living in san jose, and my kid told me he wanted to take caltrain to sf, i’d probably say no… even just to palo alto is a risk still
@basedbonvivant @ad0rnai evergreen
@ad0rnai this is basically me except we'd get hammered on caltrain from menlo park to giants games
@aspergtame @ad0rnai I went on a date with a girl who went to Harker and didn’t know what it was either. Then I was later telling my friends who grew up in Cupertino and they informed me that it’s one of the richest schools in the Bay Area
@wolfiesch @ad0rnai That’s called the Loser Cruiser
@svscnne @ad0rnai Not really. Our Silicon Valley town full of kids like this. Mostly pretty good, well-adjusted nice kids. Yeah, there is money and tutors and nice trips (we leave for Europe this week) but the kids are all right. Spend a lot of time off screens, even.
@ad0rnai This is nuts. Waymo exists.
@aspergtame @ad0rnai Clearly you’re not rich enough to know
@potrepka @ad0rnai Hahahaha definitely wrong lmaoooo
@ad0rnai I assure you that if you go to Harker you’re life and mental health is not good.
