@katynotie Instead of a stone put a picnic table on my plot

I was told this story while in described Leicester cemetery by my cousins after being absolutely shocked that you can't picnic in our Halifax cemeteries. One cousin once worked up the street and the cemetery is where she had lunch everyday.

@NornQueenKya primer is paint

What? They're totally painted They're in snow camo

@Seebo429 I dont remember that but it sounds like something people here would do

Remember that time Halifax bullied Celine out of performing on the Common? cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

@FF_XIV_EN pray return to wuk lamat

The road to adventure beckons once more. 🦋 Accompany Wuk Lamat as her ally in a rite of succession!

@katynotie This is also why stuff like chefs plate - the meal boxes with packaged spices and all that - is actually *less* bad for the environment than the same meals from a grocery store A smaller volume of garbage and waste is generated per pound of food even with all that packaging

Working at a grocery store and seeing the green bins just filled with spoiled meat. Good food turned rotten because of its price tag and a conglomerates gamble on someone buying it rather than give it people that couldn't.

@katynotie You should try it in an office with 90 workstations. You can hear it cross the floor like a wave

Ah yes, the annual force stop and syncing of Nova Scotian heart beats.

@JeffGrubb ....he doesnt know how to use the three seashells

Didn't lace up my new rollerblades properly, so now it hurts to wipe my butt.

@Ti_Dinzeo @NRider02 Dominion sold ok, it’s just perceived as selling poorly because it didn’t sell out like indomitus the year before

@NRider02 I’m pretty sure Dominion sold fairly well.

They’re flat out gutting the AoS minis range. And sure, the Stormcast and Skaven will undoubtedly be getting a chunk of new models each as the core factions of the new edition but damn.

@winterion Tempted to just not eat for a couple weeks

We’ve got @nspowerinc being it’s usual self and having its systems collapse during a normal regular day and then @hfxgov arbitrarily closing barrington street by putting barricades around a blind corner with no lights on it. happy Thursday Halifax

@ItsMeDanielleB @FriendsOfHFX delivery trucks with 4-ways on in turn lanes, construction sites blocking sidewalks, snowbanks pushing street parked cars further into traffic. There’s problems but more parking isn’t a fix.

@FriendsOfHFX Do you have a valid source for the claim that lack of parking is a complaint? It’s not the CTV story, which says that new developments will bring more parking, not less. There are parking garages and street parking all over downtown.

Did you know that the number 1 complaint by businesses, shoppers and visitors to downtown #Halifax is the lack of proximity #parking (parking within a short distance of the destination)? The ongoing reduction in parking spaces continues to agitate workers, visitors and residents alike (atlantic.ctvnews.ca/halifax-to-exp…) One of our main advocacy positions at @friendsofhfx is for more street parking to be made available, and for the @hfxgov to switch current dedicated bike lanes on downtown streets to merged lanes or left-of-parking lanes (see photos), similar to other old downtowns with narrow roads. Dedicated, protected bike lanes are incompatible with the needs of the vast majority of users of the road network in downtown Halifax. In narrow downtown streets with high demand for parking, bike lanes should be to the left of parking spaces, or share the road with cars in designated bike routes/roads (see Montreal's example at montreal.ca/en/articles/bi…). Downtown businesses pay a premium in lease rates and taxes to be where they are, with the supposed payoff being access to coveted "foot traffic". When downtown is hard to access due to prolonged construction-related street closures, and hard to park in due to loss of parking spaces, the foot traffic dwindles while the high costs of locating there remain. When these issues are coupled with real or perceived safety concerns and a general sense of deterioration, due to the presence of homeless encampments, we arrive at a serious risk of long-term damage to the reputation of downtown Halifax and its ability to attract visitors. Downtown government and private sector office workers are yet to return to in-person attendance on a full time basis, further affecting visitation, foot traffic and lunch time businesses. With mounting costs and dwindling sales, small local businesses either close or relocate to business parks in the suburbs, causing high retail vacancy rates and fewer incentives to visit downtown Halifax - a cycle that has resulted in the severe deterioration of many North American downtowns. The Friends of Downtown Halifax wish to see an attractive and successful downtown in Halifax. One that is easy to access and full of interesting shops and experiences. The ongoing attrition of street parking hinders the achievement of this goal.

@FriendsOfHFX @globalhalifax @hfxgov So to many there was no reason to go near grand parade due to the encampment, and now there’s no reason to go near grand parade because it is closed to everyone. Weird kind of progress here.

The deadline is fast approaching. We call on @hfxgov to be prepared to enforce the law. Downtown businesses are experiencing thousands of dollars in vandalism and thefts, incurring 10s of thousands in additional security costs, and hundreds of thousands in lost revenues from disappearing foot traffic while still recovering from pandemic shutdowns. 18,000 people work downtown, 4000 of them in jobs that rely on foot traffic and visitations. Not to mention the infringement on the lives and safety of the 25,000 residents who call downtown home, or the rest of the population who come to attend events downtown. One of our member businesses that was broken into near grand parade saw an encampment residents put out their stolen coffee machine in the encampment’s garbage. They asked if they can have it back and the woman said sure, it doesn’t work anyway. Another member had to call 911 because a homeless young couple got into their building’s lobby and the male appeared to have overdosed. The woman was trying to administer Naloxone but was too high to do it. Their staff had to take care of the used needles left behind. Individuals walk into privately operated liquor stores, who don’t have the security that NSLC can afford, grab bottles off the shelf and walk out while owners and employees stare helplessly. Stores are closing earlier than usual and prohibiting employees from working alone. Those who are experiencing these issues and the government bodies who handle the complaints are well aware of the lawlessness that has ensued. We’re glad the city finally set a deadline, now we need them to stick to it.

@TrishaReyE @WilsonKM2 I see no reason to pay for parking if it’s to obtain food, goods or services I can get somewhere that parking is free. That’s the thing downtown needs to recognize.

@WilsonKM2 it's true. the "there's no parking downtown" argument is actually "I don't want to pay for parking". And I agree; I don't like paying for parking. But let's be honest about what it is

Ahem! Downtown can never compete for free parking with Bayers Lake and Dartmouth Crossing. You occupy the most valuable land in the entire region; they occupy some of the lowest. You literally can't win a "empty space" contest with them. Don't try.

@Shredded_teat @barrettjoneill I have simply chosen death because I don't want to spend $50,000 on an auto loan

@barrettjoneill you opened my eyes, thank you 🙏

@Brossentia people complained about that in 1997 😅

Take the paint out, and you'll just complain that you have no clue where to climb, smh

@katynotie I never quite recognized how big of a perk “the dumpster is in the parking garage” was at my apartment until my first winter

Sincerely, a person who really didn't have to go to the dumpsters. And regretted it immediately.

It's rip the ligaments in your knee slippery out. The warm air has melted the ice .001 mm, a zamboni effect. If you have to go out before the sun goes up bring a flashlight. Save your phone in case you smash your face. And if you have to drive, yikes with a full body fuck that.

@winterion haha that only gets you a liter here

@kim_gaetz feel like its a) I have children and would really like that $10/day daycare thing or b) I dont own a house and the first time homebuyer program is the only hope I have

So for the Conservative trolls that keep asking me why would I still vote for Trudeau ? The answer : Because I am still traumatized from Harper's reign of hell !

@FibroJedi the usual ill omens problem is lv142 bosses one shotting people running skirms in the 70s lol
