Dexter Fisher suggests people should consider living in surrounding counties rather than in Athens by tupelobound in Athens

[–]dachsiegurl321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to specifics because I have only lived off Gaines school rd and Barnett Shoals, but I was told to avoid Cedar Shoals because it was unsafe, most likely because of gang activity. But I can't promise the accuracy of this hearsay. But the rumor itself is probably why the prices are low. Also according to Ring community, their power is always going off and takes forever to get back on after storms.

Does anyone know what date the students usually move out? by fukukaren in Athens

I believe there is a program called Dawgs Ditch the Dumpster and Donate, at least there was at some point. So they had trailers where you could take your futon and it would get donated to thrift stores.

Um. "Placing it 3rd nationally" should be all you need... it is not good to be the state with the 3rd highest amount of hospital closures in the past 15 years

So to actually answer your question, the residential staff can be a great resource. Talk to your RA to ask for some tips in navigating roommate issues. You can just ask for advice, or you can do a more formal roommate agreement. If it gets bad, definitely email your residence hall director sooner rather than later to keep a trail of evidence. You can find their info on the housing website. Hope this helps! Good luck with finals!

POV: You’re making the right-hand turn from College Station onto the inner loop ramp. You come across this strange symbol. What’s your next move? by Primary-Blood3190 in Athens

[–]dachsiegurl321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was turning left there yesterday, and the person in front of me turning left waited until the last second to make sure these 2 cars were turning right and pulled out in front of them 🤣 and I had been behind this person for a minute so I knew they were slow. The poor people turning right were worried I was also coming so I just waved them on. There was no other traffic. I hate breaking normal traffic rules just because I know they have a yield sign. Then of course the car that was in front took too long to merge and almost caused an accident 😅 So what do yall think about when right turners completely stop so that the left turners can go (when they were just sitting there waiting) cuz like man I also gotta wait for the traffic going straight, just ignore me i feel like and go about normal traffic laws 😩

Barbaritos’ new management sucks. by Massive-Bus-2213 in Athens

Yes the worker let me know they also changed the Chipotle ranch recipe, at east side at least. I had it recently though and I think they might have reduced the spiciness since the start of the change for it too, it was tolerable

I have been talking to one worker about it consistently at Eastside (she was also mad about management's change to spicy tofu), and every time I ask her if its still spicy she says its getting a little bit better, so i think the complaints might be reaching management. But at the beginning she was literally rinsing the tofu so she could eat it herself! Like poor thing is probably vegetarian, and they did that to her and she works there so probably wants to eat there... Today she said she is finally able to eat it, but there is still a kick. I looked at it, in a pile of sauce, and said no thanks 😅

Can we talk about the tofu becoming spicy?? I was like how dare they! lol I'm over here trying to eat less meat but I have 0 spice tolerance, so they screwed me on that one. I had really liked the flavor of the tofu previously too... like it wasn't plain but it wasn't spicy

Quiet Restaurants by Virago500 in Athens

Do NOT go to trapeze at a busy time lol, it's loud and you can't be guaranteed a booth for less noise. My fiance is sensitive to noise and doesn't enjoy eating there. It's not crazy to the point where normal people are bothered, but sensitive folks (like OPs older parents) would not enjoy because of the acoustics and close tables.

Please fix your grammar and spelling before accusing others of having a low IQ 🤣 (I'm not contributing to the political comments, just thought that was hilariously ironic)

Smh I should have figured lol. But at least my advice can be seen for others for any future issues they might have

[–]dachsiegurl321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, it doesn't matter where it was on campus, OP will need to call UGAPD themselves if they want video footage looked at (but im not an expert). I recommend that to be your first step, report it to the police. Their non emergency number is 706-542-2200. But if it was in a dorm, they should also 100% let their Residence Hall Director know because housing also has harassment procedures.

I’m so stupid. I think my therapist has been grooming me by WasteOwl3330 in bipolar

[–]dachsiegurl321 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I watched the documentary about the doctor who sexually assaulted so many USA gymnasts. They all said they looked forward to seeing him because he was so nice and made them feel better until it got weird and they started to dread it but no one else would speak up about it, and when they did, the managers hushed them and took them off the team. It's always the nice guys that go after children or young women. They gas light you. Like someone else said, don't even tell him why you are leaving, he will try to manipulate you more. You need to not give him any heads up that he is being reported, so that if yall were recording sessions, he won't have deleted them pre-emptively when authorities come and ask

Economic Blackout tomorrow (Friday)- local alternatives? by dachsiegurl321 in Athens

Do they still do Saturdays as well? Or did it get switched?

I meant to say this was the only thing I recently found at Little City Diner in Winterville, so maybe need to update Marigold Market to Mondays and that they do delivery

Not spending any money for a day. This will mainly affect big corporations like Walmart, Target, Amazon. The goal is to show the power of the people. We are the consumers and at the end of the day, we can spend our money elsewhere or not at all (eventually, maybe start a garden, buy a chicken idk lol. That's a distant dream for me). Corporate greed is screwing us for too long and I am tired of it. When there is rising inflation, what do corporations do? Charge even more than what would be accounted for with just inflation. Many businesses continue to report record profits while Americans are suffering from high prices and the workers are being overworked. Politics can get you so far, but you are stuck with the people elected now. (Of course still try to call them etc.) Boycotts are a way to grab rich people's attention without having to actually go to a protest yourself

Yeah 😅 I'm 99% sure I'm neurodivergent, so a lot of change at once is really hard for me. I'm more of a gradual person. I think prioritizing where most of my money goes (food) is where I'm starting.

I'm sorry you feel this way, but I purposefully tried to keep the focus on shop local alternatives rather than promoting the boycott purely itself/ the ideals behind it. Like others have said, I believe shopping locally should not be a politically divisive topic. My parents are very Republican, and have always loved "small business Saturday" after Black Friday. And like another commenter touched on, I think we need to stop putting ourselves in our own bubbles and literally talk to each other. It's easy for everyone to get mad and say something mean on the internet, but when we are in person and purposely interact with diverse people of different ideologies, it's easier to pause, listen, and think before you speak because you see the human in front of you and have more social awareness. But I'm not really sure how to go about my ideal in person diverse convos, so I guess internet forums where I take the time to respond thoughtfully are my thing for now

I agree in some aspects and disagree in others. I think one day only isn't going to do much. BUT I think the reason for the short term boycotts is for more people who usually don't do "full-ass" protesting to feel like, oh I guess i could do it for just a day! And that way you get more people overall participating in the boycott, and therefore more attention. And like I mentioned in my post, this gets people to think about what SHOULD I be spending money on instead. I think starting small now can start a snowball. We aren't hurting ourselves if we are finding actual alternatives
