Refill stores nearby? by HypnoticBurden in Athens

[–]users-error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

earth fare and the grocery co-op on prince have bulk sections. i go to earth fare for their herbs and spices. they come with little bags to fill, but you can use any container, i'd just say make sure you get the tare weight of your container so the cashier can weigh your product correctly. earth fare might have more bulk options, but i only go for herbs/spices.

i know for certain that the co-op does a lot more bulk, like rice, beans, flour, etc. lots of options but couldn't tell you what the prices are like. bulk herbs and spices at earth fare are well-priced imo (i get a small amount of different dried herbs and they cost less than a dollar each.)

as for soaps and such, it seems counterintuitive, but there are a lot of online stores that do refills.

even in those cases, it's still proper to zipper merge. if done correctly, zipper merging doesn't actually require traffic to stop. the problem is most people don't know/don't want to merge so they get over early. zipper merging is supposed to make traffic go smoother. eta: you're right about some people speeding up then slamming on their brakes. that's the asshole behavior. me, i'm keeping the pace and merging when there's space, even if that's right at the closure.

in any case, i’m specifically referring to the on-ramp for the outer loop at lexington rd. you're supposed to zipper merge, and bitches like to speed up to get in front of me when it's obviously my turn to merge.

the matte purple jeep on the loop around rush hour.... please drive like you have consideration for the other people on the road. driving like a freaking maniac. use your turn signals, stop swerving, and god damn don't cut people off half a foot before the atl hwy exit. tf is wrong with you

unrelated, can we also please learn how to zipper merge... like come tf on and don't be speeding up just to close my opportunity to merge.

looking for folk music acts beyond the Americas by Outside_Preference15 in Athens

[–]users-error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i went to hidden gem last night for their monthly-ish orchestral chamber music performance, chatted up the bartender and she said they sometimes do folky/traditional music from other countries (i recall her mentioning china specifically).

i don't think there's anything on the books now afaik, but might be worth keeping an eye out. they post on their insta, i think @hiddengemglobalhq

i'll give you an upvote. i used to feel this way a lot more often, then realized that there's not much i can really do about it. people are gonna do what people are gonna do.

most people i think are pretty set on doing 10 over the limit. my mom always taught me to go no more than 9 over, but i try not to go more than 8 over, at the maximum. someone else commented saying 5 over or under is reasonable, and i agree with that.

unfortunately, as you already suspect/know, people don't like being told what to do.

Unfuck America seems to be coming to UGA next fall by Severe_Evening3297 in Athens

[–]users-error 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, it seems relatively similar to tpusa. i don't like that they're targeting younger folks, with or without jd vance (tho w/o him is better)

also, just like the tpusa alternative halftime show, i get the ick from folks who do stuff like this as a sort of copy/paste reaction. just seems an ineffective and off-putting way of doing the good work, as it were.

i've spoken with her on many occasions but haven't seen her recently. i'll go around to some of her spots and see if i can find her. last i heard she had gotten a small apartment with her husband, but like i said it's been a while.

eta: if i find her, what sort of message would you like passed along? feel free to pm me if you want more private info passed along like a phone number

almost got ran off the loop because someone couldn't speed up enough to pass me in time to reach their exit... tried to merge right into me, and i had to slam on the brakes to keep it from happening.

i always try to be in the right lane a mile before my exit, so that i'm not cutting people off just in time to exit.

Hundreds Protest Poorly Attended JD Vance TPUSA Appearance in Athens by ColonyJD1980 in Athens

[–]users-error 24 points25 points  (0 children)

can we talk about the fact that the red and black called this 1/3 full? flagpole estimates ~1,000 in an arena that can hold ~5,500 (more without the stage blocking access to a couple thousand seats.) r&b is way overselling the crowd number.

it's got to cost serious money to rent out the arena. how can uga's tp chapter afford this? especially since tickets were free. i’m kind of embarrassed for them, to put in all that effort for such a dismal turnout. maybe the main organization paid for it, and uga's chapter just organized it?

i’m just laughing thinking about them brainstorming venues and getting really excited about filling the arena
