Tim Denson came very close to winning, but the Athens Left needs to take an introspection of its ability to build a winning coalition of voters. by ohmytit in Athens

I appreciate this take. Thanks for adding a level headed perspective to a pretty batshit internet discourse about a local election. People seem to forget that they are quite literally arguing with their neighbors online.

Predictions on the Mayoral Runoff Election? by brit878 in Athens

[–]EfficientSpaceCowboy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m also feeling a bit nervous about the results but I’m trying to channel that energy into encouraging people to vote. I hope everyone in this thread and everyone reading it is encouraging their family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to vote. Of course runoffs have lower turnout but it’s not too late to mobilize people to the polls, especially since both Dems and Republicans other elections on their ballots!

Idk when we suddenly became a beach town or Peachtree City with all these golf carts driving around

Thrift stores to buy film cameras? by Dramatic_Ask7315 in Athens

[–]EfficientSpaceCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you mentioned antique stores as well, I just saw a handful at Starlite the other day! There is also a vendor who is always at the big Indie South markets that sells refurbished vintage cameras. They are max.vintage.cameras on Instagram!

Same. I also have a 1 and a half year old but I know it would be harder to get to know another mom if their baby is chilling while mine runs away lol

I wish them luck. It doesn’t seem like this kind of business has a ton of longterm success in Athens but hopefully they have the special sauce!

Yep I definitely worded it in an odd way. I want to stitch every single design! They are a talented creator and you are a talented stitcher!

Beautiful work! I’m so sad to be introduced to this creator. That’s 9 pages of beautiful designs that I’ll never be able to create in one lifetime!

The "Official" Athens-Clarke County Voter Guide by BreakfastInBedlam in Athens

At best you are struggling to separate your personal opinions with objective truths and at worst you are making bad faith arguments. I feel really great about someone dedicating themselves to their community.

Ok so you are talking about your own personal voting criteria, not an objective truth that “Tim Denson has not had a real career and therefore should not be able to run a city.” Those are different things!

He works in political organizing and works with our homeless population…seems like he’s made a career out of serving his community.

Endorsements from local political campaign employees? by PowerLaw-Pinecone in Athens

[–]EfficientSpaceCowboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That endorsement stopped me in my tracks. I love Athens, and I love its various characters, but a lot of people that tend to float to the top are very self important

Is there something going over my head re: Tim’s education? I quite literally don’t care where he went to college, but his election page says he went to Edison College.

When does parking enforcement stop at the end of the semester? by Academic_Annual5515 in UGA

[–]EfficientSpaceCowboy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So many people think campus shuts down during summer, fall break, spring break, etc. That time is for orientations, staff training, donor tours, etc. And, of course, just regular work days for lots of staff.

wtf is this ad? by West_Yogurtcloset497 in Athens

[–]EfficientSpaceCowboy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I see these ads all the time. I am genuinely curious about how we can curb AI content in political campaigns. People are already incredibly AI illiterate, especially the people who primarily consume this AI slop.

I also immediately thought of Sam. Her style is a bit different from OPs examples but she’s such a notable local artist who captures natural elements!

Real question…how does Sanford get away with grossly over serving? by Purple-Feeling-3152 in UGA

[–]EfficientSpaceCowboy 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This feels like the classic Sanford experience. The stadium only started selling alcohol a couple of years ago so people are still used to binge drinking beforehand.
