Does Twitter have filters for the more racist/misogynist stuff? I'd guess the n word would be filtered but have not and do not wish to test.

Had to go to a training session in Atlanta (actually about 20 miles south of the Atlanta core) and
they kicked us out on Friday at 11am.
I said why so soon?  He said well, if we don't, you'll never make it out of the city until probably 5pm.

I work from home in Dallas, or commute to Kennesaw, so I get to avoid the interstate.  I did my time as a field engineer doing client onsite visits in Atlanta. What do you mean it took 4 hours to go from Roswell to McDonough???

Gordon Bennett: They counted 'hell' and 'damn' as swearing, but not 'coont?'


Did they publish their underlying data (i.e. their twitter scraping after processing)? It didn't look like it on their page, but maybe I missed it.  Anyhow, what got me thinking that was this statement (my bolding):

"We then collected data on a selection of swear words (and some variations), including:
ass, asshole, badass, bastard, biatch, bloody, bullshiat, crap, damn, douche, douchebag, fark, hell, moron, scum, shiat, whore."

It'd be nice to know what counts as a 'variation', plus the entire list of base words, not just this "including" subset.  Like...is "motherfarker" the same as "fark" for their count?  What about 'godfarkingdamnit'?  Is it double-counted for each category it matches?  Did they only do exact matches, or did they pick up spelling variations/mistakes and self-censoring. Would "f*ck" or "fark" get counted in the "fark" category?

They count douche and douchebag as separate words, apparently given that quote above; so I'd say sh*t and sh*thead or motherfarker and fark should be separate.  Would be nice to know.

Also 'moron'...'scum'...really? Is it swear words or just negative sentiment insults?

I hope you're not like the dispatcher who sent me from my house to Roswell to pickup hardware, then to Winder for an installation of a printer, then to Waycross to deliver 4 desktops, then to Palmetto to swap out a failing backup drive, and then home.

I am in a bank of field dispatchers of 5 people, and dozens of engineers nationwide.

We have a large helpdesk that does the fixing of remote issues and when they can't fix things they call me to "get a tech out there"

The Scots helped James Oglethorpe create the colony, as they were some of the best soldiers available. Scots have been in Georgia since 1736.

I don't know when the bulk of 316 was constructed, but it sure seems like whoever was behind it had no farking clue how traffic demands would be changing. Hindsight, etc., I suppose.
It used to be that things didn't start to get hair until past Lawrenceville.
Now it's well before that.

The last time I *could* have driven through atlanta, I instead cut over to the east coast and took highways on that side, all the way to florida.

maybe added an hour to the trip but it saved me a year of life expectancy.

I.E. Robert Moses, NYS. He built the roads in NY when cars only did 30 MPH and made all his entrance and exit ramps tight curves.  So now, if you need to get on a parkway, you need to 0 to 70 MPH in a matter of yards on a tight curve. Perfect for Mini Coopers...

not so much for SUV's and Soccer mom vans...

I do all the interstate driving in Atlanta for our family, but my wife takes over if we are going to somewhere in Buckhead. She used to live off Lindbergh, and knows the surface streets better than I do.

I've been living here since Feb 2020 and let me tell you, I avoid Atlanta like the plaque. No need for me to be in or near the city. My office was in Vinings, but we are permitted to work from home and I do not miss that commute.

90 mins to drive 44 miles?  Insane.

You want to watch / hear terror? Put a Georgia (or even California) driver on a Wisconsin road in Winter, at night, during a moderate snow shower. Watch / listen to them freak out about all the snow reflecting lights, the cheeseheads tailgating, while complaining the roads are snowy disasters without any grip.

Put a driver from Atlanta in Rome rush hour traffic. Or as a larf send them around the Arc de Triomphe in a rental during rush hour, to see if they can exit before running out of petrol, and without getting into an accident.
