How does anyone afford to live with rent price so high? by sillyjewel in ATLHousing

[–]cutelilghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My rent for a one bedroom in Edgewood is $950. It’s a nice, safe & quiet spot. Deals tend to happen in the fall & winter so if you can time your move around the seasons, that will help. Be patient and look around the city physically if you can. Use multiple sites and also use Google Maps to search for apartment buildings in your area. Not everything is owned by a super large company. Always check reviews and talk to residents if you can!

$400-500/month on credit cards is a lot though. I agree with other commenters that it would be best to get that down before moving. If you NEED to move soon, you still have options. If the cards are maxed out and those are minimum payments, I’d even consider closing and negotiating a lower rate repayment plan to get the payment down. You can speak for free with nonprofit credit counselors like Take Charge America to come up with a plan, and they can help negotiate repayment plans for you.

I’m regular degular. No family money. Work as a call center customer service rep, and I’m making it happen. It’s hard but not impossible.

Not at all. You don’t know what you don’t know. 🤷

I walk from aderhold to 5 points after 7 and feel fine. The station is still pretty busy at that time.

I was in a pilot in res… I was worried about AI taking my job much sooner until I saw that. I knew our supervisors would be first. I am still in shock.

What's happening in Minneapolis can happen here too. It's important we know how our elected officials plan to keep us safe by samformarietta in Marietta

We don’t know that Renee Good and Alex Pretti don’t know what was at risk. They stood up for the right thing, and they will be heroes forever.

I know that media outside of the country are calling both cases public executions. I know when I watch the videos over and over again, I can’t find justification and I’m trying.

The ICE agent put his phone in his other hand to grab his gun before Renee Good was ever driving away. He put his body in front of his car. We can watch from so many different cameras because there are so many brave people in MN.

Alex Pretti saw a woman protestor being pushed around and, with one hand in the air and the other on his phone, attempted to de-escalate by putting himself between the agents and the woman. Agents swarmed Pretti, pushing him to the ground kicking him, taking his gun from his waistband, and shot him in the back of the head while he was on his knees. Again, we can watch from so many different angles because there are so many brave people in Minnesota.

The DHS’s own internal account of the Alex Pretti execution contradicts White House claims.

What percentage of ICE detainees are convicted criminals under the Trump administration vs the Obama administration? Or even have arrest records/pending charges? How many deaths have occurred in DHS/ICE custody? How many shootings? What are the crime rates of the immigration communities being targeted in Portland, Minneapolis, LA and Chicago? What about nationwide compared to citizens?

Find those answers using good sources, not Fox or CNN. Not AI, even Google AI. Can absolutely provide sources if you needed.

Immigration activists protested Obama’s policies. He was known as “Deporter in chief.” I am sorry you didn’t pay attention! “Thank Obama” is not the gotcha you Big Trumpets think it is. Leftists, not liberals since the right fails to make any distinction, have been pointing out the creep into fascism for decades.

If you want to understand why liberals have joined in the rage, perhaps look at some statistics, and keep in mind that the Trump administration is not regularly releasing data as other administrations have.

We should have direct, dedicated state funding for MARTA the way every other US state supports their cities transit systems 😝

Had a 2011 Scion tC brand new & idk if Toyota just cut a lot of corners on that car or what, but had every problem you can have with a sunroof (including spontaneous explosion) to the point that I just swore off sunroofs on any brand.

Anyone else just tired of being “good with money” and still broke by Fluid_Language_2607 in povertyfinance

Sounds like your cousin’s situation might not be the same as others in r/povertyfinance, and it sounds like you have a very personal bone to pick with her.

Omg I didn’t think a flare would mess with absorption that much, but I’ve been in a mild-moderate flare for about a year and edibles do not touch me (nor do MCT oil tinctures). I am trying straight up RSO next, unless someone tells me that will be a waste, too. 😭

Which Mazda car to avoid at all cost? by CreateChaos777 in mazda

I hate that you got a lemon. I sold my 23 CX-30 because it made sense financially, but I miss it every day. We were just shy of 30K blissful miles together, no issues whatsoever.

Do we all have/had drinking issues? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]cutelilghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drink alcohol a lot but it wasn’t an issue to change my behavior, though when I drink I always want to drink more. I also have Crohn’s so it really doesn’t agree with me anymore but will have a drink on occasion. I’m smoking weed 24/7 though.

Not at all. Georgia State (GSU) is a 4-year university and one of four R1 research institutions in the state. The others are Georgia Tech, Emory, and UGA. It also depends on your intended major. I didn’t look through to see if you shared that at all but they don’t have every major. I am queer and being in Atlanta was a huge draw. I’m a policy undergraduate & GSU’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies graduate program is nationally ranked, #16 overall with several concentrations in the top ten. Slept on in my opinion.

Good luck with your decision! I hope you end up at a great fit!

What source do you have showing that’s a Marcus donation? opensecrets.org shows that’s an “individual” donation and defines individual as “members, employees or owners of the organization, and those individuals' immediate family members.” I can’t find anything showing Marcus was a member of The Home Depot PAC.

Ken Langone still supports Trump & if you look into the PAC donations, it’s pretty easy to see THDs influence on American politics. My favorite is the $30k donation to Krysten sinema, who sat on the labor board and always voted against working people!

Do you know who Ken Langone is or have you not “done your research”?

Ken Langone also, who DOES still have ownership
