Would the person calling my house every night at strange hours from a private number but fails to leave a message please find something to do with your life.  I got a theory about you private number people. You are likely one of those annoying people that everyone screens and avoids when they call. You have counteracted this by asking your service provider for a private/unlisted number. This is so that you can continue to harass and bug the shit out of people without them knowing it’s you like a little sneak. Sometimes, I'll answer it. Then I always hear a voice I do NOT want to hear. I'd rather chew my arm off than talk to the person so I make up an excuse and hang up. You annoyances never leave a message, either. You just wake us up out of a dead sleep with your incessant ringing; finally awake now and not able to fall back asleep. I am left wondering...who could that be? When I know very well it was an annoying person. —private numbers are for assholes

To the extremely few girls in my college course who like to talk shit about me while I'm sitting right in front of them: shows me how much you all really love female empowerment. If you talk so much about how you want to see more girls in more male-dominant jobs then maybe you should stop dragging other girls down. I bet this is your way of showing me how much better you are even though I didn't do anything to you. —Confused Bitch

This bitch goes to all retired people. Unless needed, stay the fuck off the roads during rush hour. —Lover of logic

Things aren’t looking good for millennials in the battle of generational worth to humanity. At least not from a public relations standpoint.

From the cries of being useless without their smartphones to ridiculous pictures of them ending up on the internet, millennials are the first generation to truly embrace the open culture that is the technology age. This has left them open to criticism from prior generations that these tools have made them soft, antisocial, and generally inept to the advancement of human kind. They are the stupid generation.

Unless of course you look deeper into it.

Over the last ten years there’s been an explosion of young entrepreneurs using technology to better the world. Today’s youth have seen 15yr old Jack Andraka invent an early pancreatic cancer detection device, 17yr old Param Jaggi develop a car exhaust that converts CO2 to oxygen, and a 19yr old Boyan Slat develop a solution to removing mass amounts of pollution from the oceans. The coolest thing your dad learned in high school was how to make a bong out of an apple.

We live in the age of long range electric and soon to be autopilot cars with advanced devices that make driving safer than any time in history. Previous generations still haven’t figured out how to make an ironing board that doesn’t scream murder when you open it.

So how did millennials get labelled the stupid generation? It’s actually quite simple.

Have you ever played video games with a 9 yr old and thought “I’m gonna destroy this kid”, then died 100 times in 5 min? Most people will quit and simply proclaim the game as stupid. Millennials are that 9yr old.

In the mid 90’s personal computers became widely accessible and society as a whole turned to everyone who’d completed school before then and said, “sorry, your f***’d”. Given the option to adapt or die, many took to opportunity to see computers as a game they could easily win if they felt like it. One pop-up ad virus later, this new technology was stupid.

It’s been a rough transition. “Stupid photos of millennials litter the internet” even though its mainly 40+yr old politicians being caught for indecent photo’s online(Snapchat bro!). “Millennials make poor decisions” even though thousands of people went bankrupt waiting for their million dollar cheque from the Nigerian prince they met online, not to mention the golden age of the lazy murderer experienced upon the invention of Craigslist personal encounters section.

“Sexy 18 yr old who only wants to sleep with divorced single dads over 45. Must be willing to meet at undisclosed location” How was that not obviously a trap?

Stupidity has not become more abundant, the bar for intelligence has merely been raised and its affecting the grade curve. What was once head of the class is now average, and what was once average is barely passable. University/college enrollment, innovation, and advances in medical science are at all time highs. Anyone who tells you this is the stupid generation merely does not understand the game being played.

So I was on my morning walk with my puppy in point pleasant with a stick over my shoulder when I was hit in the head by your giant chocolate lab who was trying to grab the stick I had carefully picked for my puppy from over my back. And what did you do? Absolutely nothing. You continued to let your dog jump all over me without recalling him or running to leash him as he continually hit me in the back and head as I held my stick out of his reach. Then you told me "what do you expect?" Because I didn't surrender the stick to your disgustingly behaved dog. You flipping asshole! First off, I wasn't going to reward your dog for his appalling behaviour by giving him the bloody stick. Secondly, your a terrible person for not doing something while your dog practically attacked me for a reward that didn't belong to him, and then blaming me for your dog's behaviour. If I had a medical condition or was elderly, your piece of shit dog could have given me a concussion or easily broken a bone, as he is over half my body weight. You're lucky I didn't wrestle him to the ground and take down his license number because you and your dog need better manners for a public park. —Dog Trainer with a sore head that knows A LOT more about training then you

Listen dude, what you don't know is I already let in three cars already on my drive along the Bedford Highway. So pardon me if I didn't want to let your van in front of me too. I highly doubt you let EVERY car in that tries to turn in front of you. But what I don't appreciate is the tail gaiting and intimidating you tried to do on the rest of the way when you got right on my ass. Calm down a bit. Someone else let you in so what's the big deal. You sir.. are an ASS. I hope you felt good after flipping me the finger when you turned off on the MacKay. Merry Christmas! —Sincerly Blue VW wagon

Why the F do the ticket machines not have GPS so the ticket produced has the northing/easting of the issued ticket. it would be a nice feature to add. And a bit ridiculous that it is not already. —not a tourist

What a wonderful day for taking my week old son and my wife for a walk in Point Pleasant Park. No jacket needed, leave the toque and purse in the car. Who would have thought at 11am on a Sunday someone would help themselves to our vehicle. Fast forward two hours with a crying newborn and no way to get into or house because we realize the theft upon returning home. What is wrong with you? You better hope you don't pull this shit next weekend or the weekend after. I'll be there. Enjoy the $50 Edna gift card too. Breakfast is on me. —Park Patrol

Why is dating in this city / province so difficult?! There are lots of mid 30's single people filling up the "dating scene" or lack there of in Halifax but for some reason none of the actually want to meet. I talk to girls and most complain about how it's difficult for them to find a nice guy who's not into games and isn't scare of actually meeting. Yet most of what I have encountered as a single guy for the last maybe 5 years of being single is exactly that from women here?! Most don't want to meet at all. They mostly play games with email tag and endless emails. When I mention meeting for coffee or drinks or whatever the case may be, they drop off the face of the earth. Most recently, one actually chose to go exclusive with someone long distance who doesn't live in the province and establish an online / virtual relationship! I have a hard time accepting that is normal! Most of my friends think I'm a great catch. I have my own place, car, you name it really. I travel yearly and we're not talking to Cuba or Mexico. Last summer I was in the middle east, Maldives and Budapest! I'm not Mr. Universe, but I'm not hideous either! I've been told that I'm handsome. I'm fit and keep active yet it's so difficult to actually meet women here! I met a few throughout the last couple of years, none of which actually live here! Somehow they were the friendliest I've met. I will not believe that men are the problem when it comes to dating! Is anyone else having this issue?! I don't want to have kids and I thought that might present a problem, except I actually came across a lot of women who are on that same boat! Yet after interacting, sometimes even for a month or more, they refuse to meet! Why are you wasting people's time if that's the case? If a woman could possibly shine some light on this situation, I would appreciate some advice! —Conventional Dating

Friday, December 4, 5:15PM on Barrington @ Morris—to the man sitting in his car with the four way flashers on: An accessible parking spot is not a place for you to stop and wait for someone. I did not see a tag on your car. What's a person who has an accessible permit supposed to do? It doesn't matter if it was just for a minute. I have an accessible parking card and you were occupying the spot.  You needed a loading zone buddy. Just saying. —Walking in pain
