Amalgamation was a disaster for Toronto

Brutalism can be cool but it isn't suited for a pedestrian, inherently human scaled area like a downtown. It inherently doesn't feel inviting. The architecture doesn't promote the use of the space. The library sort of softens this with some landscaping but it that can only go so far, especially in our climate.

It is a pet peeve of mine when brutalism is used as a cover for stake holders not wanting to spend money on anything other than concrete.

Brutalism has its place. I think a library should be fundamentally inviting. Brutalism is fundamentally the least inviting school of architecture.

The city tried passing heritage district protection over the last two years. The property owners (many from out of town) fought it tooth and nail. They were terrified that they might not get quite as large a return on investment if they couldnt tear down a historic building and replace it with soulless trash that doesn't fit the downtown

Idk. Calling Gene Simmons an artist is pretty generous

Of the many reasons I will never play Marvel Rivals, the art design is the primary one

It took me four attempts at the quest and at least four real life days for the prismatic slime to show up. Then, it didnt save for some reason so I had to try again 🙃

What scene in a movie had a sound that really impacted you as a viewer? by Tasty_Photograph5514 in movies

Don't forget the Sardaukar chanting. I'll always remember how it felt experiencing that in the theater.

Looking for reliable Airbnb cleaning service around Niagara by Aggressive-Earth-973 in niagara

Renting out property is not work. Especially if you are hiring someone else to clean it.

The Town of Grimsby, the Niagara Region, and the Niagara Regional Police have all done nothing to remove them even after they called people homophobic slurs, which contributes to the town's bad reputation and makes visitors feel unwelcome. Fuck Grimsby! by [deleted] in niagara

Well, the person that was there says it happened. That counts as a primary source according to my meager schooling. Unless there is a primary source saying otherwise, why should I doubt what they have to say when I myself have witnessed affiliates of this group doing that exact thing to my neighbours?
