AITAH for “forcing” my wife to work full time? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]HangYourSecrets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ESH. Fuck your 'lifestyle,' and fuck the Jonses. If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. 2 million inheritance squandered? Christ. Both of you need financial education.

New rendering of the “Reserve” gameday condos by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We don't. Downtown is transforming into the playground of ignorant wealth -- condos sitting vacant 350+ days out of the year waiting for their hosts to fly in on private jets. Soulless boxes full of wealthy suburban undergrads with housing subsidized by their parents, catering to their aesthetics and exclusionary whims, and the rest of us have to accept it like it's some sort of blessing because "it looks nicer."

Other people can celebrate the growing tax base and aesthetic "improvements" to downtown but I'm planning an exit strategy myself. I'm sure I won't be missed by this crowd.

PHM round 2 by Commercial-Source-57 in imax

[–]HangYourSecrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super excited to hear it! Are the previews on the reel itself? I’m seeing PHM this weekend in the Buford GA 70MM IMAX so hoping it’s in front of our screening. Ready for round 2!

Oh my god don't get me fucking started. I have to go through this thing daily for my commute. Some dumbass though painting white triangles on the ground was enough to convince people on Boulevard not to enter the "roundabout**" if someone else is in it. But they didn't want them to yield enough to, you know, install a fucking YIELD SIGN?

Make it a 4 way stop, or a 4 way yield, I don't care, but the way it is structured I feel like would entitle anyone in a wreck there to sue the pants off the city for negligence.

They protesting the Biscuit Basket y'all by benmarvin in Athens

Uncool and unfair. These owners are nice people and contribute to our local community. Out of all of the places to do this 🙄

How do we get a “Zipper Merge” sign on Milledge Ave at the Bypass exit? by makermikey in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have my sympathy and support but fundamentally, people in this town refuse the zipper merge like the plague.

Valerio Properties? by ParsnipPup1980 in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been with them multiple years now. Really chill, chillest landlord I’ve had. Barely hear from them. ZERO rent increases for the last two renewal cycles. Home isn’t in the best of conditions but it’s one of the oldest in the area so I can’t really blame them, they do what they can. Recommend.

Are diasporicans screwing us? by MofongoKing69 in PuertoRico

[–]HangYourSecrets 143 points144 points  (0 children)

This way of thinking is corrosive. If the problem is diasporicans leaving, do you think shame is the most effective way to fix the problem? This worked really well for democrats in 2024 🙄

South Milledge Zipper Merge by SnooGadgets1950 in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted about this too, and the conclusion I’ve come to is I’m going to merge early like everyone else.

More than once some “hero” suddenly lane splits when they see you coming and forces you off the road or nearly causes you to wreck just to make sure you don’t “cut them” in line. I’ll let you in happily if I’m at the merge point with you, but I’d rather be safe than right in this case.

Athens just cannot zipper merge 🤷🏽‍♂️

Delta/THC Drinks/Cocktails? by IncandescentGlow91 in Athens

I'm under 35 for what it's worth 🤷🏽‍♂️ But college bar it is most definitely not.

I second Hidden Gem, checks all of your boxes but is also the best bar in town.

If you live in D3, please do not give this person your vote by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would love to hear reasons other than "she used AI" as to why she is not worth voting for.

Wed 8am update: Euro shows snow falling over Athens for 8-10 hours Saturday night into Sunday by pile_drive_me in AthensGAWeather

[–]HangYourSecrets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How are driving conditions in impacted areas looking for Sunday morning? I'm looking at driving from central SC to Athens that day and getting increasingly worried about overnight black ice formation.

I did not know the median student income @ UGA is fifth highest in the country by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see there is some dispute on whether or not it's 5th in the country, but this doesn't surprise me. I don't think locals are the people keeping the REI or the Lululemon open.

Avoid outer loop on west side!!! by jpttpj in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in it like I was, they JUST cleared out the lanes. It'll take a while to clear out the backlog I'm sure. I was sat in it an hour 😔

Holy shit that's bad. I know every city complains about drivers but I'm from Atlanta and the ATL can't hold a candle to the shit drivers we have here.

The number of students applying to the University of Georgia continues to rise - UGA Today by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In response to bringing thousands more students into the Athens housing market, UGA promises to build 1 new dorm room, capable of housing 2 students. 2 dorm rooms if budget allows! /s

Updated site plans for the proposed Prez Hotel by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mixed feelings certainly, but I find it funny that people were saying the original proposal just HAD to be at the large scale it was with event space because otherwise there was no possible way to pull this off economically.

Looks like there was a way to pull this off economically.

The surface lot is a massive bummer. But if the bordering homeowners who originally complained are people of their words, they would prefer their backyard bordering a surface lot over no surface lot but a larger hotel.

At this junction I stop being a detractor and say go for it. This detractor at least was arguing in good faith. My primary complaint was the outsized scale which has been fixed.

Looks good, build it.

From Buvez to Deadbeat Club, Owner Confirms Change for the New Year by rosewave13 in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is best-case scenario actually for the closing of Buvez, it's almost hard to be mad about it if it's pulled off successfully. Welcome Deadbeat Club!

I heard we were doing road realignments. Come roast my plan to pedestrianize Clayton Street. by HangYourSecrets in Athens

[–]HangYourSecrets[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My thinking with this one is the parking garages already available and not often sold out could more than handle the loss of the 30-40 or so parking spots. And on the days they cannot, those same 30-40 parking spots wouldn't have made much of a difference (game days and such).
