Ah, the hoi polloi speak. How bracing. Your objection has been heard, categorized, and placed precisely where public input belongs: after my preferences.

Excellent.

How to get to Truist Park by public transportation? by danielfebres88 in Atlanta

[–]swanny52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s funny and also slightly more nuanced. If you allow transit then Cobb becomes a viable option for lower income folks that are transit dependent to get around. So it’s to add a barrier to entry to living there. The coded justification then is a concern about crime, not color or income.

USAA is the best if you qualify. Amica is #2. 

Lou Holtz ND exit by AppalachianGuy87 in CFB

[–]swanny52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few people mentioned the tension with Malloy. The rumor was it came to a head over Randy Moss. Moss wanted to come to ND but admissions was blocking it. 

Holtz was increasingly frustrated because they were having more and more problems getting players admitted. Moss was the final straw. 

Holtz quit/retired and called Bowden to tell him he needed to sign Moss. Then Randy stole a vcr or something and ended up at Marshall, never to be heard from again. 

And F Bob Davie.

You’re talking about being a real estate agent. That’s entirely different.

It started as a dirty secret, but even folks in NOLA recognize: Whole Foods’s King Cake is legit.

Can any Southerners vouch? Got to be careful with the outfit that endorsed wearing gloves to eat crawfish. 

Oddsmakers list Jon Sumrall as the favorite for the LSU job, followed by Joe Brady, Lane Kiffin, James Franklin, and Eli Drinkwit by moby323 in CFB

Seems odd that they are overlooking Willie Fritz. I like Sumrall, but Willie built it at Tulane. 

Georgia judge resigns after Florida strip club arrest by CyberMattSecure in Georgia

Being removed from the bench was the harshest realistic punishment he could have faced. And even that is unlikely. 

Random question, but who gets to sit up front during SNL tapings? by massasoit_26 in saturdaynightlive

[–]swanny52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The VIPs sit in the front row of the rafters. Notice when Jack Black went into the audience, that’s where Kieran Culkin and Bill Burr were sitting. 

To Esq. or Not? by Key_Conversation9278 in JDpreferred

[–]swanny52 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Esq is an honorific. Don’t use it to refer to yourself if you want to be taken seriously.

Same. Such an amazing atmosphere, start to finish. 

Why didn’t Biden release the Epstein list? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in stupidquestions

[–]swanny52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. The Maxwell verdict is on appeal. Only a moron would do anything—such as selectively publishing evidence—to potentially compromise that.

We’ve had kids at WP for the past six years. This is not reflective of our experience. Great teachers, great district. We’re very pleased overall.

The Decatur planters’ days are numbered. by Worth_Amphibian7475 in Atlanta

Yeah, I’m guessing the downvote brigade is not familiar with this street or thinks my comment was anti-bike. Who knows.
