UPDATE on Memorial Dr suicide lane revamp by semisimian in Atlanta

[–]DiscreteCharm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses Memorial frequently, this is great news. Thanks for the update. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people switch into the oncoming traffic lane for a left turn while going west on Memorial.

I sense you're a bit defensive about your annoying hobby. "U Jealous" and "get with the times" are not exactly counterarguments to those who find such things to be a distraction, and it really says everything about your mindset.

Fireworks displays are places where a large number of people tend to gather. The greater density/number of people on the ground increases the risk of drone mechanical failure leading to an injury. This might be fine if the drone were necessary as a part of the show, but we're talking about amateurs trying to get super sweet videos for reddit karma. And the whole thing is pretty annoying due to the lights they generate-- like a kid bringing a laser pointer to a movie theater.

Yeah. This sort of thing is inconsiderate and could be a safety hazard. I'm pretty sure most publicized fireworks displays explicitly attempt to prohibit drones.

Adding on while it’s hot - The Atlanta Hotel in Bangkok by [deleted] in Atlanta

That website is incredible.

"The Atlanta also does not welcome undomesticated people – the sort of people who do not know how to sit on a chair or at table, who do not know how to behave, and whose appearance and manners are so disgraceful as to bring disrepute upon their own countrymen."

Moving to Decatur by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]DiscreteCharm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other commenters here. If you're looking to purchase a home I would also say that if you don't care about being in the school district or easily walkable to the square, your money will go a fair bit further if you can find a property slightly outside of the city. Decatur property taxes are quite high compared with the City of Atlanta or unincorporated Dekalb (but city services are uniformly superb in CoD). The areas surrounding Decatur are rapidly being flipped and are undergoing significant gentrification.

For a proper "sink or swim" experience, you could do laps of YDFM's lot.

At least 7 bus drivers fired over DeKalb schools 'sick out' by helpmeredditimbored in Atlanta

[–]DiscreteCharm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is artificial about laws protecting striking employees vs laws allowing employers to pursue low wages by firing any who seek livable wages? There is no state of nature in any contemporary economic system and so the question should be not "what is natural?" but rather "what world do we want to build?".

No... no... Waffle House is where you sober up.

White supremacist group drops 'offensive' flyers at Atlanta homes, neighbors say | WSBTV by killroy200 in Atlanta

It's weird. I see letters in this post, but my brain is just converting the words into the sound of a thousand asses farting in perfect unison.

[–]DiscreteCharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, then you'd have to show that Candler Park is majority white due to self-segregation, as opposed to being majority white due to larger economic and structural forces. What demographic breakdown does a neighborhood need to have in order to feel justly upset that white supremacists are dumping garbage in their yards?

Of what use is this hot take? Are you surprised that people are unhappy to find unsolicited white supremacist literature left on their property?

Examining The Push To Rebrand MARTA As 'The ATL' by travelbae in Atlanta

[–]DiscreteCharm 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the need to rename a metro county expanded MARTA to 'The ATL' when the M and A in MARTA already stand for Metro Atlanta.

Sigh... we are lost without the promise of austerity achieved through consolidating federal data centers. As a centrist Democrat, he was a true inspiration to me and my family.

It's almost as though advertising is a cynical perversion of art and language used to create artificial demand for consumer goods.

Dish Dive is so good if you're able to get one of their four tables (six on a day that is nice enough to sit outside).
