So is DriverHer a service for women to protect  or help them feel more safe in this city? OR is it an outlet for people who hate men? Naturally I'd have assumed the former, your consistent misandry in literally every article you publish convinces me of the latter.  —Suggested Title: Clickbait "Reporter" is Coast Norm

To whoever vandalized our car Sunday night near the commons: I'm not sure why you would want to break into our car...all that was in there was garbage! I can't imagine that the small change you might have found was worth causing almost $6,000 in damage! The only really upsetting part about it is knowing that there are awful people in Halifax like YOU! —StillHaveMyBicycleTho

So at 10:10pm Thursday, June 8 I opened the door of a pizza location located to see if they had any "pizza to go.” Their website indicated they are open until 11pm but when I opened the door to their establishment I was greeted with an "Oh fuck off.” Now I am not a business major but I am pretty certain Business 101 says something like "...if you want to attract customers and build your business, don't tell your customers to F off" or something like that. —Hungry

I am really sick of seeing these white, privileged local “designers" using their privilege of travel to exploit the materials made and created by others in countries like India and Columbia to name a couple, and re-selling them here at a way higher value.

As an independent small business, how can you justify the ethics of your unapologetic capitalist colonialism, and then ask the city to support you in high end gentrified boutiques on Agricola?  Using mostly white models to display your wares does not help the broad picture.

Can someone tell me what NSCAD is teaching if it is not morality of an artist? —frustrated local devi

I was excited to see your band: We are peers in the scene and wanted to show some support for fellow musicians on the rare weekend I'm not playing, too. I was feeling stoked: until your guitar player revealed himself as the most ungrateful sad boy prick goin’.

Let's set the scene: The band sounds great. People are subdued, but happy.Vibes are good. Stage right, the most looking boring dude in the world is playing guitar: Baseball cap, ill fitting pants, starchy ass white dress shirt with his friggin’ cheeseburger locker hanging out past bottom buttons. He looks like he is in pain even being there. There is a 10-foot invisible fan barrier between band and audience and no one is really moving: Except one guy. He is not being disrespectful to the people around him, in fact, people were watching him with smiles on their faces. At one point he was doing the Carlton. This guy was just dancing…having fun. To be honest, he was kind of awesome. Your band finished a song, someone comments on his dancing and you straight up started rapidly shit talk the guy, being super catty and called him "fucking stupid" all into the microphone. Things get awkward. He looks like he's gonna cry and walks off into the shadows of the audience. Weird choice,  meatball.  Another song ends: your bandmate comments on how you scared their only fan away and you approach the microphone again and say "FUCK THAT GUY." Again, I watched him wince from further back in the crowd. In their defence, even your band seemed embarrassed by you. What is your problem, sad boy? Did your favourite sports team lose? You're screwing your own scene directly. Here's why:

The most glaring difference between the audiences here and other cities/countries/continents I've played is people are afraid to let loose, especially at early shows. No one wants to be that person everyone's looking at (scornfully, like you) so, no one dances. You completely shattered that dude and reinstated the age old tale that Halifax audiences are too cool to interact with the band or each other. It's a reputation that precedes this city. If you want to stand there, motionless, like you're in a full body cast, that's your prerogative but don't throw a hissyfit when someone else is enjoying themselves. Enjoying YOUR music. I can't decide if you're a bully or just a GIANT fucking baby but you definitely don't deserve the support that guy was showing by being the only person in that room, in the audience or onstage, moving a friggin’ muscle.  Show a little respect for the people that offer you the privilege of playing music or go get a desk job, asshole. —Loves Active Members

Am I just confused or did you tweet a giant rainbow display with “Happy Pride” signage this week? Last I checked Pride is celebrated during July here in Halifax. LGBTQ+ Pride (month/week) is celebrated at different times in different parts of the world. Seriously–do a quick google check. Shockingly us queers don’t walk around saying “happy pride” to each other every day, though a lot do during Pride week, which as I’ve already pointed out, is during July here in Halifax, where your library is located. You really should coordinate holidays/events with your local community, don’t you think? I find it particularly appalling with all the controversy and debate over pinkwashing, that you would attempt to ride the coattails of Pride more than a month before our Pride kicks off; for what reason? Promote your brand? More Twitter followers? We’re more than just rainbows and parades BTW. Promote diverse LGBTQ+ displays/events all year long and only celebrate Pride, during Halifax Pride. —done with you

You cheated and then lied over and over. You refused to earn my trust back, but still blame me for leaving. When you grow up you're going to be sad and lonely. I don't hate you, but I think you're pathetic.

I'm going to Michelle Obama this shit and go high, because you're about as low as it gets. —Success is my revenge

...you use your bare hands to add toppings to my fries. No. Please. Use tongs or wear gloves, I don't know where your hands have been, and, dude, it must be a health violation. I want to keep coming back, I really do, but this makes me throw up a little in my mouth. —Cootie Patrol

Why are all the taxi cab dispatchers in this city grumpy pieces of trash? Every time, every company, the dispatcher sounds like I'm doing something wrong. Why so shitty? My job sucks too, lots of people hate their job. You don't, and really shouldn't take it out on the customers. Bring on Uber! —Paying customer at the other end of the line

Can you guys who must stop at every junction in the Macdonald Bridge just get over it! You are slowing the traffic sometimes to a halt causing unnecessary delay, increased transportation costs and environmental damage. The bumps on the bridge are no worse than many you will find in highways. You do not have to stop or even slow down. Just go through it at the regular speed. Do it once and you will see that you did not break your neck or your wheels did not fall off. —Driver fed up with wimps
