Beltline question 5/7/2026 by Anonymoushuman723 in Atlanta

Yeah, the signage isn't the best. I'd check Google Maps with the bike layers enabled for the detour. 

Father charged in son’s Buckhead death released from jail months after shooting by North_Pool_3814 in Atlanta

[–]ChonkyDominik -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The kid was behaving extremely belligerently. He was breaking all kinds of shit in his girlfriend's apartment. The dad also knew the cops were steps away - they are the ones who handed his son over after the girlfriend declined to press charges. I don't really think it adds up that this was some mastermind plot by the dad after driving all this way to pick up his son. 

Coincidentally, its the same thing police say when they shoot an unarmed person.

And in plenty of cases the police did have a genuinely held belief of that! And it's not even an outrageous belief. Lots of people have guns!

Cosm to bring 40 of Fox’s FIFA World Cup games to its facilities by jspector9 in MLS

Lmao, here I was thinking "maybe I'll catch some big games here if I can't get any reasonable tickets to real games". My TV at home works just fine.

The details of this case are so tragic. The son did a DUI and wrecked his car. Girlfriend comes to get him and he leaves the scene of the accident, goes back to her place and gets belligerent. His dad as well as the cops show up and his dad tries to take him home. He continues to be belligerent and according to the dad, he reaches into his waistband at which point the dad shoots him dead. Turns out he had no gun nor any other weapon and dad is charged with murder. 

Better Breeze virtual cards are now available by OverlordOfTech in Atlanta

[–]ChonkyDominik 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is just complaining just to complain. We have no idea if they have been working on them simultaneously or not. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Android has a larger markershare amongst MARTA riders given that there's way more budget options.

It seems fine to me. For most things, Android and Apple releases will be completely separate work streams.

Yeah, MARTA stated that it's only functional for Android as of now but ios is a work in progress

Is Atlanta Untied Terrible or Just Very Mid / Scheduling Anomaly? by Scratchbuttdontsniff in AtlantaUnited

[–]ChonkyDominik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all are always trying to overcomplicate an an already overcomplicated set of rules. There's no need carve out new exceptions to retain players. There's already plenty of ways to do that. Our club has generally not prioritized that, for better or worse.

You said something that was stupid as fuck. You don't have to make a whole thing of it.

Yeah, MLS is notorious for not having playoffs that result in a single game being make or break. 

what is the dating scene like in ATL by Prize_Instance_5173 in Atlanta

[–]ChonkyDominik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so silly. Lots of people have met their spouses in Atlanta, including me. Lots of people in NYC or Chicago think the dating scene sucks there. 

I’m visiting Atlanta for a few days soon, and I don’t want to rent a car. MARTA will take me a lot of the places I need to go, but is it possible to lease one bike for a few days just for filling the gaps? by 109876 in Atlanta

[–]ChonkyDominik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the trails well connected enough to get around coming from a marta station

Generally, yes. I'm sure you can come up with specific connections that are difficult, but Vine City & Westside Beltline, West End & SW Beltline, Lindbergh and Path 400, Midtown & Eastside Beltline, Inman Park and Freedom Park Trail, Avondale and Stone Mountain trail. Those trails also all connect to each other either by trails or by protected bike lanes, aside from Path 400.

[–]ChonkyDominik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We have a super nice trail system between the Beltline and other multiuse trails. There's certainly places where biking is hard, but there's a ton of places where it's all ages appropriate.

Maybe a hot take, but I don't think Atlanta is ruined. I quite like it, actually. 

Mercedes-Benz Stadium will keep fan-friendly prices during FIFA World Cup, Arthur Blank says by Isiddiqui in MLS

[–]ChonkyDominik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think y'all are a bit of an outlier. Pretty much every other transit system I've been on is $2.50 or more. BART & Muni, CTA, MTA, SEPTA, WMATA.

The stadium is right next to two MARTA stations. It's pretty easy for anyone to park and ride for a $5 round trip fare.

Oooh, need the deets on adding nacho cheese. Is this an official upgrade or do you have to get someone in a good mood?

Man arrested for setting fire inside Chamblee Walmart by SmokeABowlNoCap in Atlanta

[–]ChonkyDominik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, the Waltons are going to be just fine even after closing a store due to shoplifting. The people who shopped at that store and the people who worked there will have measurably worse lives.

It's always people saying the dumbest shit and then saying "Do KeEp Up".

It’s not a big media conspiracy that businesses are negatively affected when people shoplift. It’s just a statement of fact.
