U R overconfident..... robot instinct taking over..... must avoid seeming as if I go by first impressions while I change my language to accommodate being judged quickly by someone I've known for 40 seconds..... Can't leave room because she will most likely see that as an acknowledgement to me somehow seeing myself the way she sees me. I'd better act natural while she silently judges me while forming her own selfish reality that I am "intellectually inferior" and "of no use" to her social agenda. She will bend others in favor of this view especially if I prove myself otherwise quickly enough for her to see me as a threat. If we end up having a conversation towards the end of the night where she sees that I most likely could be friends with many of her friends who are there, she will later explain how impressed she is with me, and how I "must be gay" in order to calm her general hatred of men that she placed me into the moment she most likely assumed that I was of no use; because otherwise, she would feel guilty. Oh wait, I'm not in Halifax anymore:) —The man who goes by many names

My "Student Deal" on internet has risen by 50% over the past two years, but my service is not 50% better. I would drop your ass and switch companies if I could get a better price, but it seems you two have been colluding to gouge your customers. I hope your children die of syphilis. Fuck you and your ugly mother. —Another faceless victim of the Canadian ISP market

Just because somebody disagrees with you doesn't mean they're a bully. Do you know what BULLY means? While you look it up you might as well look up hypocrisy. Your "fight back" tactics are dangerously close to what you claim to be fighting. —Over easy.

It seems that every summer here in HRM people have to put up with being rerouted when using public sidewalks or even some streets, due to construction or window washing or whatever, supposedly under the guise of safety. As a wheelchair-bound person, it affects my ability to get around. In the case of construction, the sidewalks do not need to be shut down during non work hours, like overnights and on weekends and holidays. It's time for these idiots to use common sense and stop this practice and to the fuckwads at HRM that OK this and endorse it, fuck you all to hell for your inconsiderate attitude about this.. I, and folks like me, have the right to get from A to B without having unnecessary obstacles being placed in our paths and I'd like to see others like me get more proactive about this and put pressure on the city to be less rigid and at least accommodate us during the off hours at these sites. I can't imagine how tourists see this insidious practice.. Such an inconvenience can't be good for tourism.. —Tired of Being Rerouted

Dear redacted,
It was nice talking with you until you grabbed my dick without warning. I get it, it's late and we're at a gay bar, just hanging out, but the least you could've said is say, "I'm gonna grab your dick,” or something. Don't just reach for it. Heck, I would've probably let you, if you'd asked! You're cute and all, but don't kid yourself into thinking that kind of behavior is alright. —Consent's Cool

This is a manifesto that is a long time coming, Halifax. There’s a problem with your pepperoni pizza. There’s a really big problem. I had to remove myself from this town in order to fully realize the scope of this issue, and I’ve spent a long time trying to convince myself that Halifax pepperoni pizza is good. But it’s not. It’s just fucking not.
So here I am, like Luther hammering a note to the church door; I am hammered and I am going to explain my grievances against all that is good and holy in the order of severity.
1. Pepperoni does not go under the cheese.
2. Geeze, this pepperoni tastes like salami and is the size of salami and smells like salami.  Stop fucking around, Halifax—it’s not pepperoni, it’s salami.
3. Ideally, pepperoni should be a little bit larger than a toonie and rest peacefully ON TOP OF THE CHEESE SO THE CHEESE MELTS INTO THE BASE, not SMOTHERED BY CHEESE AND DROWNING IN FUCKING SAUCE.
4. If it’s the size of a DVD, it’s NOT PEPPERONI
5. Pepperoni. Does. Not. Go. Under. The. Cheese.
Look, if you’re a pizza joint out in this town and you don’t use the use the pepperoni-salami hybrid, good on you. But this will not stand. This is not what pizza is supposed to be.

Dear paranoid burnouts, Your dog is a dog, not a wolf, it is nothing to be ashamed of. Dogs are great. ALAS... You are not a Wolf Master, you are a dog owner. —Rabbits aren't wolverines, my cat is not a platypus

To the rude, inconsiderate woman seated behind me who chattered to her friend during most of the movie while I increasingly became upset. You ruined what was meant to be a relaxing treat from a stressful summer. Surely, you have seen the pre-show where they kindly mention not to talk during the movie? Have you no common sense or did you just feel a sense of entitlement over everyone else in the theatre? I gave you many looks of disapproval and wanted to shout in your face by the end of the credits. What I struggled with was raging to you at the end of the movie into admitting how difficult it is for me to go out and be social anymore due to severe hearing difficulties. The ongoing background noise from YOU made it impossible for me to relax and take in the fun. I hope you read this and become more mindful and thoughtful in your everyday interactions. What you can't see as a physical impairment exists! —Over the Noise

This theater is my favorite one in Halifax. I have gone there my entire life. I even saw Star Wars there for the first time when I was very little. So it pains me to complain, but it must be done, because no one is fixing the situation.

1) how have they not designed a more efficient way to sell tickets? Every time I go there I have to stand in line (sometimes for up to 30 minutes because the solo cashier is ringing in each person, who invariable pays with a debit/credit card. Why can't some people buy their tickets at the popcorn stand? Or have a little booth that accepts cash only? Or even install one of the machines that are at other theaters in Halifax?

Now this wouldn't be so bad, except that even though there is only one movie playing, and they can see how many people are still in line, THEY START THE MOVIE ANYWAY. I understand that the start times are trickier in the evenings, but for a matinee? that has nothing playing until hours afterward? Why couldn't they delay the film for 10 minutes while everyone gets through the snail line? Often as I finally near the front of the line, I am greeted by the manager, as I hear the movie well underway inside. It is infuriating. This is a one film, old school theater. Why can't they adjust? —film geek
