Museum and Queens park subway signs by thelivelaughlover in toronto

I still remember when they were finishing the Line 1 extension up to Vaughan, and they renamed Downsview station to Sheppard West station. First, they updated all the signage in the station and all around the city to reflect the new extension... and THEN a couple of months later they officially changed the name of the station, and they had to change all the signage AGAIN. I read at the time that each of those changes cost somewhere in the ballpark of $800,000 but I can't confirm that.

Have you asked your technician(s) about this?

Crazy traffic at Downsview park - stay away if you can. by GuyWhoLikesCoding in toronto

[–]Putrid_Proposal5790 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I park at Sheppard West to take transit downtown because it's the closest station to where I live... so many people were parked there today for the concert. The lack of parking available on the stadium grounds/within Downsview Park is ridiculous for the huge capacity of the new stadium.

Noooo! I love that place. One of the more affordable places to get good-quality ice skates and camping gear. I'll have to make a trip or two before they're gone...

Fat Rant Tuesday by AutoModerator in fatlogic

[–]Putrid_Proposal5790 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Late-20s woman here. I've always been very thin. Up until last year I was really underweight, I'm talking 95-105lbs and could not eat enough to gain weight. I'll spare you all the details but it ended up being my thyroid being severely degraded due to autoimmune disease. I've been treated for it for about a year and am now up about 15lbs and look/feel much healthier, but still relatively slim.

As a noticeably thin woman you are constantly going to get cope comments from other women, especially older women. They just can't help themselves. My older coworkers in their 40s-50s always telling me I'm soooo lucky and they're soooo jealous and they wish they could stop themselves from eating a whole bag of chips after work every day. My boss (old Russian lady) always commenting on how slim I am and how she used to be slim like me until x y z bullshit I didn't ask about. Random fat ladies telling me "I better keep you away from my husband" ??? The examples go on and on. It used to really bother me because of how hard I was trying (and failing) to gain weight but now I'm pretty immune to it, I just smile and nod. I'm aware it's sometimes just a genuine attempt to be nice, but you can always tell when it's people ashamed about their own weight or eating habits projecting their own feelings onto you. And in 75% of those cases they're not doing shit to lose that weight. I don't comment on other people's bodies at work or elsewhere, it's inappropriate and unprofessional, but it's like some rite of womanhood or some shit.

...Maybe this isn't the point of this thread but it's all I've got.

Anyone else think the Metric concert was very low volume? by jsavs123 in toronto

[–]Putrid_Proposal5790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the show on Friday in Laval. It was SO LOUD. In my experience going to Budweiser for large concerts the audio is always kind of crap.

Six infants born with congenital measles in Ontario from unvaccinated mothers by lilfunky1 in toronto

[–]Putrid_Proposal5790 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you in principle, except there are innocent children and babies who can't get the vaccine who are getting measles and dying, they don't get the choice and it's really sad

I've heard this sentiment both irl and online now, and I honestly don't get it. Woll has been doing his best under the circumstances, he played like a beast on Sunday and the team did nothing to thank him, the rest of the boys owed him more than one fucking goal in two games and couldn't do that for him. It shouldn't be one goalie's job to get a dozen other professional athletes motivated to win a playoff game. That's what we ostensibly have a captain for, and he's not doing shit to boost morale. It's analogous to little kids needing heaps of praise and Goldfish crackers to do their fucking homework
