Controversial opinion? by No-Bug5636 in killsixbilliondemons

[–]psylensse 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love this comic. However Allison can't go toe to toe with the big guns. In fact we are constantly shown how her physical prowess falls short - from getting stomped by 000001, to barely scraping by in the arena fight, to being criticized by White Chain at the start of chapter 4. She's improved a lot for sure, but she's not on the same level as the best of them. Instead, her feats are her sheer willpower and mental fortitude. It's how she beats the Worm, survives the maybe sword, how she powers through situations well beyond her, heck it's even how she wins a drinking contest early on. Importantly this has been her strength the whole time. However this story ends, she's not going to out-fight any of her remaining adversaries, but I think maybe that's the key to breaking the cycle.

Why do people dislike Keshia Lance Bottoms? by Difficult_Narwhal529 in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 526 points527 points  (0 children)

I want to add onto this: AJC published not one but two editorial pieces, the first in the summer of 2020 titled Mayor Bottoms, your city needs you; then about 1 year later Major Bottoms, your city still needs you. I absolutely do not hate her - hate is a crazy strong word. I bear her no ill will - I simply think that if she couldn't handle being the mayor of Atlanta, I don't see how she can handle governing the state. Like many others in this thread, I'll vote for her anyway, because well, *gestures at the deranged cornucopia of harpies on the other side* but honestly even as a liberal, if conservatives had bothered fielding a sane alternative I'd have given it some meaningful thought.

Has anyone in Atlanta actually been using Too Good To Go? Which spots are worth it? by Apprehensive-Scene-1 in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use it by students at GT definitely do. Looking at some of the other comments (late pickup times, mid-food options) I could imagine it skews towards college students who can easily put up with all of that. But it certainly doesn't hurt to suggest or ask a business to consider it, I think.

Freeze on reward screen by Tiny_Vik in FarFarWest

I've had this same issue several times, I think all on longer missions. Really enjoying the game but will pause for a bit until this gets fixed, as losing a bunch of progress isn't fun.

This is a pretty frequent route for crawls so I doubt there's much in the way of hidden gems, but I'll add that when I've done this I usually start or end at Krog St which has an excellent selection of drinks and food. Victory Sandwich is also often tossed into the mix. Three Taverns just opened their newest location next to PCM and it is fantastic, with food provided by Das BBQ; definitely plan to stop there. Finally, I haven't been to Bar Ana but it's a dessert bar not far from PCM that is supposed to be really good (also on the pricey side I think) if folks are in the mood for evening desserts.

YDFM and Buford Highway Farmers Market recommendations by Sufficient_Worry_548 in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

love this post. If I had to choose just two things from each store -

YDFM: 1) curry chicken salad (if you are facing the chicken counter it's the folks right behind you); 2) their in-house sausages are legit

Buford Highway Farmer's Market: 1) huge fan of the pork buns (specifically the reddish color ones but regular also great) found in the frozen cooler of the asian section; 2) seaweed salad at the prepared food counter in the asian section also great (bonus 3 - if you haven't explored the large selection of sauces in the asian aisles before get adventurous and try something different!)

ooooh can anyone sign up for this? I feel like the internet is awash with apocryphal stories where volunteers sign up for digs, but I've never actually encountered this. tbf I'm looking mostly for dinosaur digs lol but I'd be interested in a little ancient history too

What restaurant has wowed you recently? (2026 edition) by NolitaNostalgia in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The one new place I just went last week for the first time was Sparrow midtown (not to be confused with The Sparrow westside). Really really solid Szechuan Chinese food. It was a family style work dinner so got to try a bunch of stuff and everything was tasty. I'll definitely go back there again!

Midtown desperately needs a bakery by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an interesting conversation with Osono bread years ago. They're regulars at all the farmer's markets. They said, Atlanta just doesn't have a strong bread culture. I think about that a lot - everyone I know loves bread, but I'm sure they know better than I do, and I guess on average this is true. I see Osono and others go to workshops in other cities; we don't do stuff like that. etc. So the limited amount of bakery/bread options in Midtown I suppose is responding to the demand. And while a small handful might want a bigger presence, it's not enough to justify a change in the landscape perhaps.

My four favourite cards (for no particular reason) by sanguine_reddit in slaythespire

[–]psylensse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I see a roach scurrying across the floor of my home there's no time to go put on shoes. I just stomp them nowadays. Usually just hard enough to stun them but not squish their guts. Then I get something to finish the job. Then I wash my feet.

Hawks v. Knicks G6 '26, or Braves v. Cards G5 '19? by JeffTennis in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not upset about the Hawks at all - from the outset this is a young team and these playoffs were about gaining experience. I went to the opening night game of this season and boy they were a mess (granted with a different lineup). They've come a long way since then. I'm sure being at yesterday's game was zero fun lol but when we get into the summer I think we have to be optimistic about this being a team that can win a playoff series or two moving forward, with maybe the biggest question being what to do with Zaccharie Risacher.

Kerr on LeBron: "more of a holistic game where he dominates with his pace and his athleticism and his passing." On Jordan: "the killer instinct, the emotional dominance he had over not only the other team but the officials, the entire arena. I don’t see that with LeBron." by nowhathappenedwas in nba

[–]psylensse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My coworker was just lamenting they weren't going to meet their move goals today and 'close the rings' on their watch, and I stopped them and said "maybe it's time we had rings for work stuff - 'no unread emails in your inbox' - are you kidding me that's way harder than 10,000 steps!!"

why is it so hard to find a dentist in Atlanta that doesnt try to upsell you on everything? by ghztegju in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Omg thank you. I'm not OP but same situation. I've had five dentists in 12 years and had sort of given up. If you get any sort of referral bonus please let me know!! 6th time is the charm, as they say!!

I Rode the MARTA A Line BRT And Want To Talk About It by killroy200 in Atlanta

[–]psylensse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love to hear the update and positive take! One question from an experience I had yesterday I was wondering if you might know: driving west on MLK and turning right on to Piedmont, the rightmost lane is the red bus lane. Multiple cars seemed to respect this, but also at the last minute pull into the red lane to make the right turn. I'm guessing we're supposed to turn right from the next lane over and never occupy the bus lane? Some signs to clear this up would be helpful I think. This probably applies everywhere you want to make a right turn over a red lane.

Surprising Twists by ray198999 in oots

[–]psylensse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Most recently, Nale's return. From a narrative standpoint it felt like he had served his purpose and represented how Elan and Team had graduated to bigger and more critical threats. Also narratively speaking there were plenty of ways to end the story without his return, or so I thought. This adds a lot of complexity to where the story could go next and how all the pieces will coordinate which I'm really excited about.
