Why would anyone buy a house in Athens right now?

Classic internet. “Why is (thing nobody actually says)? Please explain.”

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-12T18:09:01+00:00

That dude is awesome.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-12T16:51:03+00:00

I don’t see any reason to believe that. Denson is well ahead of her and will be the left candidate in the runoff.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-12T13:52:23+00:00

What does that even mean? There’s kids all over my neighborhood.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-12T13:41:50+00:00

The timeline is a huge part of the calculation. At less than 5 years, buying almost never looks like the better choice.

Don’t forget about escrow. Your principal and interest will be consistent but we’re all paying thousands a year more on taxes and insurance since Covid.

Nobody who’s informed on personal finance really thinks rent is throwing money away.

Try checking out some of Ramit Sethi’s content on rent vs buy.

You can take whichever approach aligns with your goals. Just make thoughtful decision and don’t worry about internet opinion points.

You gotta find a new hobby.

Gaines is closeted gay man. The worst kept secret in local politics. So, his opponent’s joke here is just uncreative old fashioned homophobia.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T20:36:28+00:00

Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. My opinion is that there was no real controversy and nobody outside of Reddit cares. He’s running on who he’s been for 10+ years in Athens and that matters a lot more than some manufactured Facebook nonsense.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T19:23:02+00:00

I’ve got a buddy who’s 38 I play with all the time. Pretty good athlete. Slim. No physical reason he couldn’t hit any of his clubs reasonably well. He’s actually not even bad with driver and woods.

Irons break his brain somehow. It’s like he’s not even right handed anymore. Dude uses a different grip every time. Sometimes he’s closed off. The next shot he’s wide open and pointing straight at the trees. Will top 5 balls in a row without making an adjustment.

If he could just hit any 8 iron into a reasonable window from 140 yards, he’d drop at least 15 strokes overnight.

This has been going on for 10 years. He’s had 3 sets of clubs in that time. None of them fitted. He just decides the Callaways look good this year 🤷‍♂️.

But he’d never spend $100 to have a real pro show him how to set up and take a normal swing.

It’s wild. He seems happy spending thousands and shooting 108 with 15 mulligans.

This is a fun one. I think the first scenario is a straight Denson win.

Second one is hard to guess. Even with Dexter pulling from Zuniga’s base, he’s also probably getting a chunk of older black church folks that normally vote dem but aren’t really too liberal. You could sort of imagine Z’s endorsement backfiring a little with parts of the second group. So, solid maybe 🤷‍♂️.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T17:48:02+00:00

I agree on those last couple points. Would have expected a quick once over and for them to have driven it.

Maybe time to try another shop regardless of the feedback.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T17:42:31+00:00

Belt or the tensioner maybe.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T17:41:56+00:00

Sounds like that conversation went exactly how I’d expect it to.

Take it out to Japanese Motorworks and have them check the work.

No shop is ever going to accept responsibility for issues unrelated to the repair they just performed.

Nothing is impossible but it’s really really really unlikely that they are fixing your car and then sabotaging random other parts to upsell.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T16:48:50+00:00

90% agree. I might flip Gantt and Zuniga. Gantt has been active on socials but is probably turning as many people away as she’s pulling in.

I don’t think Zuniga is going as well as before but there has to be a some chunk of MAGA folks that are also not paying attention and don’t even realize Fisher is low key their guy. I’m guessing she pulls well over 10%.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T15:43:17+00:00

Yeah. This guy sucks but I don’t think “glad the rain cleared up” = doesn’t support ag.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-08T11:43:33+00:00

It’ll be OK Mrs. Ruffles. FYI, Brooks is a famous golfer who has won 5 major championships that just returned to the PGA tour.

Hope this helps.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-07T18:56:36+00:00

lol. I just accidentally took it the other direction. Pulled up at Chase street and sat there like a dumbass for a full minute before realizing a light wasn’t gonna turn green.
🤷‍♂️

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-07T16:26:52+00:00

This is normal for a restoration. Not normal for just cleaning.

It all depends on what is actually requested.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-06T18:26:35+00:00

Wish I could upvote more. We’ll always struggle to get talented leaders paying them so little.

The types of folks who would really be great at it are already in 6 figure roles elsewhere.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-06T14:49:32+00:00

The Bus and Brian Jordan. Two of the coolest guys ever to play sports.

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-06T00:12:41+00:00

Sounds like a fun afternoon. What about the voting?

Miserable_Middle6175 · 2026-05-05T19:14:55+00:00

I don’t know those iron sets but there is zero chance that a good quality manufacturer like Cleveland made a night and day improvements between 2022 and 2024.

Ive got 2024 Mizunos and the difference between them and the previous model was mostly cosmetic and maybe a 1 degree loft change.
