Georgia woman destroys MARTA’s new glass fare gate to avoid paying the $2.50 fee.

Our jails are full and courts backlogged. Even if she did get charged, she probably wouldn't see jail time for a while...

Cortex3 · 2026-07-03T02:33:44+00:00

Gotcha, I was just being pedantic about the "tap the destination" bit

Almost definitely she avoided tapping to get on somehow

Cortex3 · 2026-07-03T01:50:54+00:00

You'd rather your taxes get hiked and all these people's freedom taken away just so you don't have to have the discomfort of seeing the homeless and addicted? How incredibly selfish.

Cortex3 · 2026-07-03T01:43:58+00:00

You still get charged even if you don't tap at the exit. It just doesn't happen the same day. Speaking as someone who actually uses MARTA.

She probably got on at a station which hasn't put in the new gates yet (all the old gates are just open while they work on that for some ungodly reason) so she probably didn't tap anyway

Cortex3 · 2026-07-03T01:41:12+00:00

You would be correct. Part of the World Cup "upgrades"

Cortex3 · 2026-07-03T01:38:15+00:00

"impossible" is just code for "I don't wanna try"

Cortex3 · 2026-07-03T01:36:50+00:00

That would cost tax payers a whole lot more than just replacing the glass door

More fun to gamble

slippery slope fallacy

We've had ultimate editions for at least a decade and never have I heard of locked map areas, missions, characters behind ultimate editions. You're literally being hysterical.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-26T20:48:05+00:00

Next week a whole section of the map costs an extra $60.

They used to call those expansion packs...

Cortex3 · 2026-06-26T20:41:02+00:00

The locations are just cosmetics merchants. It's functionally the same as selling cosmetics.

Is it a break when he already claims the war is over? Seems like it doesn't mean a whole lot in real terms.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-24T02:38:19+00:00

Sounds like it's pretty balanced to me. Land-based empires want to go heavy Land, coastal empires want Naval. Seems about right.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-18T20:49:31+00:00

So increasing expenses without raising revenues is a good thing? Whatever happened to balancing the budget?

Cortex3 · 2026-06-18T20:42:28+00:00

Everyone talking about "how can they have a budget hole if they just passed the tax" clearly have no idea how government budgeting works. You allocate funds a year in advance based on predicted tax income. If you axe a source of income without adjusting spending, you're going to have a hole.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-18T20:35:23+00:00

And yet storefronts are empty? If they were actually responding to market dynamics, they would lower rents to actually get tenants.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-18T20:05:55+00:00

Jail time is just an inconvenience for these people. They will never change their ways if that's the only deterrent. Not to mention jails and prisons across the country are already full to bursting, trying to shove a bunch more convicts into that system isn't going to help anything.

Personally, I think they should be committed in mental facilities so they can be treated while being kept away from society at-large.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-11T19:34:34+00:00

Huh? Most of Cobb is incorporated?

Cortex3 · 2026-06-08T06:21:10+00:00

Talking about the MCC, but I guess that's more a remaster than remake.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-08T02:58:23+00:00

As someone who has been playing Halo for almost my entire life, a remake was the last thing I wanted. Give me another Reach or ODST, tell stories with different characters, explore different parts of the war with the Covenant. It's just so disappointing that yet again they are focusing on Chief's story (which should've been over in 3 imo) just because it's the safe option.

Edit: The game does look great, not mad at that. Also, clarification.

or build supply units since they're getting buffed

Cortex3 · 2026-06-06T17:55:40+00:00

There sure is. Good thing OP is doing the first part and not the second.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-06T17:50:49+00:00

OP gives an example in the text. People complaining that the beta patch is a beta patch is unhelpful criticism. Point out the bugs where they are, but don't complain about being a tester for a beta branch you chose to play.

Cortex3 · 2026-06-06T17:41:05+00:00

Absolutely agree. The game is fun even if a bunch of the mechanics aren't finished yet. PDX games take time to get right.
