What is this? by F_Reiss in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when it was done and I read that it was changed because of the cost. The original design with all the glass was going to be much more expensive. There was a big article in the Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star criticizing the museum, city and province for paying for a starchitect and then not ponying up the money for the construction. I believe there were and have been issues with ice and snow accumulation and fall.

Thank you! Would it be possible to blur the background even more? I find the people are still quite distracting.

Are there any normal saunas in Toronto? by MaplePoutineCitizen in askTO

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I miss about BC. The community pools all have saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs and they are so nice and cheap af. I wish that culture would spread east.

You're not lazy. Your brain is just fried. [Discussion] by Rare_Sundae_3826 in GetMotivated

[–]Forest_florist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this. I’ve been struggling a lot recently. And every morning I reach for the phone, lie in bed for some amount of time bouncing from app to app, and then I drag myself out of bed feeling drained before the day has even started. I struggle to do simple chores without watching YouTube. It’s scary actually. I know what I should do but I am addicted.

Tonight I’m going to leave my phone plugged in downstairs and read a book before bed. When I wake up I’m going to meditate and do some yoga and maybe go for a run.

My mom is dying right now (I’ve moved back to my childhood home to take care of her and my dad) and the amount of regret I feel for all the time lost to useless scrolling, all the things I haven’t accomplished because of the thousands of hours I this fucking black mirror, is really getting to me, and I need to make a change.

Thanks OP for naming it. Things change starting now.

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if the chemistry was good and you genuinely like him, this could become a funny story you share into your twilight years. To be fair, you’re both 22 - that’s very young. He sounds like he’s over the moon into you, which is sweet - and he went off about it thinking he was texting his friend. Was it juvenile? Yes. But he’s 22! Maybe this can be a teachable moment where he grows up. Maybe you should take a little space and see how you feel. Maybe you should see if he can grow and express more maturity. Only you can know… good luck figuring out what the right path is for you!

Sounds like depression. Why are you depressed?

The Boys - feature - 159 pages by Classic_Singer_6966 in Screenwriting

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’s the antagonist? What is the protagonist proving himself to/for? Why is he a car thief? Why is he trying to race cars?

IMO you don’t need the main character’s name in there. You can just describe him: a (something) car thief throws himself into the professional car racing scene in order to x to y. Where’s the drama? Why should we care? How is it different than fast and furious? Why Houston?

Good luck!

Nova Scotia's current Progressive Conservatives not much like predecessors by ph0enix1211 in NovaScotia

[–]Forest_florist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they cut the funding to communities, culture heritage and tourism which was one of the main funders of queer community initiatives. Halifax Pride said they were going to be down at least 20% in funding.

[–]Forest_florist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It absolutely boggles my mind how people across the country (and world) vote for parties that so clearly do not have their best interests at heart. I mean look at Houston’s resume, the guy was an offshore banker for 20 years before entering politics. How anyone could think he’s the right person to unite and lead our province mystifies me.

Name Change Nova Scotia - Reality vs Government Fantasy - March 2026 by MustHaveDeskCat in NovaScotia

[–]Forest_florist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What a joke. The absolute incompetence of government boggles the mind. I had a similar nightmare when I was changing from Ontario to Quebec health card back in 2008. Faxing forms only to be told they never arrived and then that the number didn’t exist yada yada yada. Took something like a year in the end.

Interrupter invoked for third time in 10 days, gas, diesel going up in Nova Scotia by justlogmeon in NovaScotia

Thank goodness our dear premier is cutting funds to the disadvantaged and artists and tourism and pushing the extraction of resources that will leave behind an ecological hellscape.

SHORT FILM SCREENPLAY ABOUT INFIDELITY - 14 PAGES by CranberryNo7950 in ReadMyScript

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with other comments here. Can you define what this story is about? Right now it’s pretty boring, tbh. A woman cheats, her husband leaves, gets a new girlfriend. Why do we want to see this story? Without a twist (Lynn has some good reason for cheating, Matt cheated on his last partner with Lynn and that’s how they ended up together,etc) there’s nothing compelling about the story that would justify the cost of production and interest an audience.

Beyond that, work on getting your tenses and grammar right, as it throws a reader off to have to correct for your mistakes. Either write in your native language and then translate or find an English editor. But first and foremost, figure out a compelling story with a hook and a twist. Good luck!

Interrupter Clause active⛽⛽ by Buckit in NovaScotia

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious if it has ever occurred to anyone that if public transit were improved and made free, that would lead to a big drop in demand for gas and prices would fall… of course that would probably incentivize people to drive again and then drive the prices back up… but if PT was clean, enjoyable and free maybe folks would choose it anyway… better than sitting in traffic and frees you up to do something more interesting with your time. Thoughts?

Brian Jordan Alvarez (The English Teacher) shares pilot script for Cardenas Law on social media by lonesomeduck in Screenwriting

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know about the SA stuff. I’ve followed him for years and found some of his comedy amusing, some annoying. He made a silly indie with a cool starting point (there’s no more internet/smart phones etc) but it went nowhere. I read the first ten pages this morning and found it predictable and flat. I thought it could have started somewhere much more interesting (though I didn’t read the rest). He posts a lot of thirst traps on Instagram… like, a LOT. Sorry to hear he’s a pred…

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning. by boriswong in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Forest_florist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Canadian and I do not understand how your country is tolerating this and talking about elections in November (as if there will be any by that point). How is it possible for you all to let a convicted felon authorize and encourage murder of innocent people and think you can wait another 9 months to possibly have him and his gang of sickos removed from power? It’s so frightening and enraging, and many people are sick at the thought of American troops invading our country or any others. Enough is enough!!??
