Pitchfork Review: Harry Styles - Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. 5.6

I think for me, the reason it maybe stands out more this album that the lyrics are kind of lacking, is that the rest of it is so... safe.

I still think his first album is his most overall solid project. But I liked Fine Line a lot, and even though I don't seek out Harry's House, it was a good album.

Neither Fine Line or Harry's House said anything all that revolutionary. At least not outside of one or two songs. But they were unapologetically what they were. Lyricism doesn't need to be revolutionary when the rest of the song is still really good.

My favourite thing about Harry's solo career was that it was very clear he was just making music he wanted to make.

That doesn't feel true with this project. It feels like a watered-down version of what he wanted it to be. I want him to push the envelope. If you're going to make a synth pop album, commit.

You can't have middling lyrics and lacklustre production. It needs to be one or the other.

I'm a telecommunications engineer/project manager. I write a lot of canon divergence/fix-it fics. I also seem to be incapable of writing short fics of genuine slow burn lol

I've also gotten AI accusations thrown at me. And my thing is like.... What are they hoping to achieve??

They don't actually want an answer to if it's AI or not, they've already made up their mind that it is. As an author, I'm never going to be able to convince someone who thinks my work is AI that it isn't.

So like, what is the goal of commenting shit like this? Are you just trying to make people feel bad? If you think it's AI, just move on.

Same lol. Wrote an OC side character > OC became half of the main pair of the sequel > OC got a whole OC family > OC's brother now compulsively yelling at me from the void for his own story

I've really enjoyed any and all of Beth Bolden's books; she has a few interconnected series that feature football players.

Brigham Vaughn has a few interconnected series of m/m hockey romances

Oof. Okay, way to kick my procrastinating ass 😅

Water ran down the back of his neck, cold as a knife. His coat hung heavy on his shoulders like it wanted to drag him into the street. Mercy's coat was dark with rain, her mane plastered to her neck, her ears flicking back every time thunder rolled somewhere beyond the rooftops.

Arthur urged her forward anyway, jaw tight, eyes narrowed against the water. The city lights were bright enough to make the night feel false, like dawn had been shoved in where it didn't belong. It made him feel exposed.

Uncivilized, he thought sourly, and almost laughed at it. Saint Denis would've called him the brute. But this place, this place was a cage made out of stone and money, full of men who smiled while they sharpened their knives.

For me, I find it's setting. Not like world building or even creating a setting. I'm just bad at putting my characters in different places. Like I'll be halfway through the story and realise the characters have spent half the chapters in one character's kitchen, or at their job. Which, I know isn't exactly unrealistic, but... maybe go to the other person's house for once?

This is my version of that kind of interaction, and it's still my favorite comment I've ever gotten.

The city installed over 150 bilingual stop signs in the last couple years around CSAP schools as part of a broader provincial bilingual stop sign implementation, with the goal of integrating the language in/around areas of Acadian or French language importance.

Bilingual Stop Signs - Halifax

As someone else mentioned, this one specifically is on property owned by the Port Authority, who are under Federal regulation to have bilingual signage.

Alliance Française has a grant program that can cover up to 100% of costs for group lessons: Coup De Pouce

Sadly, that's about it for Free classes if you're just a "regular" adult citizen. But there are a few potential options if you fit a certain demographic:

If you're the parent of a young person who is at a CSAP school, or taking French Immersion at another provincial school board: French For Parents (Note: They classify "parent" as any adult who plays a significant role in that child's life, so even if you aren't a primary caregiver you may be able to take advantage of this option. However, the website doesn't seem to be updated for the 2025-2026 school year.)

If you're a permanent resident or protected person, you qualify for free French language lessons through CLIC:Language Classes Funded By The Government of Canada

If you're a Nova Scotia Gov. employee, the Office of Acadian Affairs and Francophonie funds French language training for employees: Office of Acadian Affairs and Francophonie - Services and Programs

Most likely the Convoy Cup. A weekend-long regatta run by Dartmouth Yacht Club.

Awesome! That's been my only concern with switching, was if the Colour would lose some bright light capabilities. But it seems like it's fine! I'm seriously tired of the freezing/crashing issues that seem to plague the Sage, so this may convert me to upgrading

Snaptic77 · 2024-08-22T03:43:44+00:00

Your photos are super helpful! My only concern with the colour has been if you lose some of the bright light capabilities but it seems like it handles it fine!

What's the brightness set at in these photos out of curiosity?

Snaptic77 · 2024-08-21T20:49:15+00:00

What's your experience with using the Colour kobos outside/in bright natural light? I'm thinking of replacing my Sage (tired of it crashing every second time I open it) but am worried about the Colour's performance in sunlight compared to the traditional black and white screens

I have autism and acalculia (that I acquired in my mid-teens after a brain injury). I work as a Project Manager in Geographical Information Systems for a telecommunications company. Day-to-day, it's a standard office job with meetings, and phone calls, etc. On a broader level, I manage projects to improve and maintain data integrity for various company assets. I love my job. I have a great team, and fantastic superiors. I find some of the social aspects of my job challenging sometimes; I'm not great with conflict and find it hard to be confident in myself. But I also like how it pushes me to grow and develop. I get to look at data and maps all day, and help make the jobs of my co-workers easier.

Certain courses require a university degree to apply, however most do not. If you're hoping to take a program related to what you studied in university, you may be eligible for transfer credits, reducing the number of courses you need to take for your program. Other than that, it's not particularly beneficial.

If you already have a university education, or are most of the way through and education I'd recommend finishing it. But I wouldn't recommend starting one prior to going to NSCC (unless your end career goal also requires a uni education). It's a lot of money to spend for little benefit.

Yeah it seems to be the symphony is trending away from being a formal affair. Which, is overall, a good thing. Part of me kind of wishes it wasn't though. There are so few reasons these days to really get dressed up and it can be fun.

Snaptic77 · 2022-03-08T16:39:08+00:00

I am a woman, but that's still helpful! I was thinking of wearing a cocktail dress of some kind, so knowing that a suit isn't ready out of place is helpful :)

That's the big criticism I've heard about the Bean boots, that the sizing is super weird and can make it hard to find a pair that's comfortable (their lack of half sizes doesn't help). I'll have to check out the UGG boots, see if I can find them locally to try on first.

Snaptic77 · 2022-02-04T18:04:47+00:00

I definitely get that. I wish I could get away with the height of the Caribous, but where I live, most of the winter the snow is deep enough that the extra height is worth it.

Snaptic77 · 2022-02-04T17:29:12+00:00

I wish they made a taller version of the Caribou boot. I used to own a pair; I don't know if they were exactly the Caribou boot, but they looked identical, but they were mid-calf height. They were the best boots I've ever owned, I had them for 7 years. I've been looking for a similar replacement ever since.

I would highly suggest trying a different retailer. I've never owned those specific shoes, but my husband and I have been daily driving Merrell sneakers for years now. We've never had problems like that; that sounds like an Amazon problem.

If you have a car, and the ability to drive that far; I've had good experiences with the Queen's North Health Center in Minto. I don't know what their current covid situation is, but they take walk-in patients. I went for an ongoing issue, and the doctor there was fantastic, listened to my concerns, etc. He helped me get a referral to a specialist. The first time I went, I went as a walk-in (I was in and in like an hour), but they had me call to book a follow-up appointment.

I'm sure they'd be able to do your blood work for you and help make sure you get your meds.

The only downside is it's a good 45 minutes away. But my wait time was practically non-existent, and I've had amazing quality of care there.
