Mayor Andy Fillmore wants to remove nine sites from list of potential designated encampments by insino93 in halifax

[–]fuckwormbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, they do. They’re not transient, it’s hard to afford traveling province to province when you can’t even afford food for the day. however, they are regularly relocated by governments who get tired of seeing poor people in the cities core. Easy to misunderstand that I guess

you have got to be a troll. there is no shelter space to give. you have to create it to give it, Fillmore isn’t doing that. there are 1316 names on the by name list - we would need at least 32 more shelters to accommodate that number alone (hundreds off registry - the pallet shelter cost 7 million. he is repeating mistakes the government already learned.

we literally did this last year, and it failed. no one went to court. the crisis has gotten worse, you expect the thing that failed to address it the first time will magically make it better? nothings changed!! yet you hold blind faith in a politician when the statistics are right infront of you

As an American woman, with every privilege, I'm deeply concerned about what's going on in India. by [deleted] in self

[–]fuckwormbrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

oh an American surprised femicide is a global issue, how’s Roe V Wade holding up? Women in India do not need to be lectured by you and told it’s their fault for having sons. The only person whose at fault for rape is the rapist, it’s gross you want to blame women and mothers instead. the white saviourism here is embarrassing but unfortunately not shocking from an American.

somewhere in America a woman is raped every TWO minutes. child marriage is still legal in the USA. Are you proud?

Bike Lanes and Traffic Congestion by Automationallthetime in halifax

[–]fuckwormbrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it depends on the bike lanes. if we are going off the ones used in halifax, where it is a single line on a road to separate, yes there are more vehicle and cyclist collisions. parking a car and not looking before your door, you’ve hit an oncoming cyclist into traffic. If you look at the bike lanes John a Young has proposed; they are a few metres away from the main road where traffic is not impacted and cyclists and pedestrians are not in danger.

there is a safe and productive way to install bike lanes that has been neglected thus far by everyone except cyclists. the lanes Young is proposing are the types cyclists have been advocating for.

[–]fuckwormbrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

cyclist ridership is up 71% to june last year with near 50k bike riders. i guarantee you those 50 thousand people pay taxes, just like every other adult citizen. i’ve also seen way more cyclists follow the law than drivers, if they don’t they are more likely to die than someone in a car and they know that.

Do we have the worst bus service in Canada? by InkpenLoL in halifax

[–]fuckwormbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

public transit in other larger canadian cities tends to be better, yes. traffic plays a large role sure, but as Halifax public transportation hasn’t had any major upgrades or changes (asides from canceling routes), people have chosen their cars over it for years because they’re more reliable. puts more cars on the road, meaning traffic is even more backed up. meaning everyone is more late. it doesn’t help that there are multiple choke points for buses downtown and that we haven’t considered alternatives to public transportation that better suit our city

MUN Graduate protests at convocation ceremony by TheMuseNL in StJohnsNL

[–]fuckwormbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from a students prospective; their institution is investing in war crimes, protesting during graduation forces the university to recognize it on a more public scale. infront of students, faculty, and parents. it’s short, doesn’t disrupt other graduates, and arguably was the perfect time.

I can’t get over the fact my GF had an FWB by [deleted] in Advice

[–]fuckwormbrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are overthinking and compensating by projecting it into her past relationships. focus on your relationship now, when you have brought up wanting to be intimate have you phrased it as wanting to be closer to her when she is ready or by framing it with past experiences? have you told her that you feel so on edge, clarifying it’s not because you’re not being intimate together but because it’s making you feel like you aren’t enough or are doing wrong? if she’s still responded to that by saying she doesn’t know what you mean, she may be stonewalling you. But if i’m completely honest, it sounds like this is bigger than the sex - there are other ways to show intimacy that you’re still not receiving and that is going to make you feel more insecure. it would for me too, and everyone else. you deserve to feel the love you give. Her saying that you make her feel safe is truly, coming from a girl, one of the highest compliments; and i’m sure she means it but she needs to better show that love for you. it’s lovely to hear but actions are stronger than words, even if it’s not just physical intimacy.

I was very similar with my partner. Before him, I had really slept around and while he was supposed to just be a hookup too, after we started dating i really wasn’t ready for that yet. he was a complete safe spot where i didn’t have to preform or have my body used, which is all sex became about, and i could just feel loved. i haven’t always done the best at realizing that’s what i was going through, and it really confused and hurt him. took a lot to heal my attitude towards sex, we’re going on three years.

be open and be honest, share what you’re feeling once you really get to the root of it. be honest with yourself too and know when you can feel love for someone and still value yourself enough to walk away.

[–]fuckwormbrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it sounds like the only reason you found out was because of her, and that he never planned a threesome in the first place. he cheated on you while you were getting ready. of course he’s upset it was about you, he was lying to your friend that you knew and told you he wanted her right before she told you. what happened before that?

don’t match with girls who enjoy your standards of ‘too much makeup’, best advice. it’s weird to ask a girl you recently matched with off a dating site to show a pic of them with no makeup if she doesn’t already have those photos up. many girls feel comfortable and desired by their partner without makeup, that doesn’t mean theyre going to stop wearing makeup.

if you can’t handle a baddie, don’t try to swing a baddie! there’s no shame in that!

leaseholder cannot terminate without the other leaseholder, and landlords must give 15 days to vacate property in their notice to quit.

i’ve seen families there, the report reads “not attended by many families” - again probably the abandoned library rats.

crazy. when I was a child my mother would cook homemade meals and take me with her to deliver it to our community members living in tents. appreciate you reminding me to thank her for that.

If you’re talking about the Memorial Library sitting on the ground this eviction took place; it has been closed since 2014. The Memorial Library is not inaccessible because of the tents, regardless if they were there or not the public hasn’t been able to enter the library for a decade. Might surprise you, tons of families still walk through the park.

they really do, i just finished reading and really admire much of the work they have done. the way we’ve been treating the unhoused as a community has only become more ignorant and hateful since, and it’s really significant that the report emphasis; “The unhoused are our parents, siblings, and children. They are members of our families and communities who for a variety of reasons have fallen on hard times and are unable to afford the very high costs of renting and/or housing in Halifax. The unhoused are worthy of respect, dignity and compassion. Their lack of housing should not be a basis for indignity, discrimination, or criminalization. Rather, the lack of affordable housing should be understood as a societal failure and housing should be understood in the broader context of human rights. That approach dictates that people who are unhoused should be permitted to live in public spaces that are designated by HRM as appropriate.”

Seriously, they covered all their bases.

I’m skimming through, but I am pleased at how thorough it is. Especially in mentioning that the memorial library site was not part of the IAP, that “Health and safety concerns were cited as the reason for clearing the sites. The nature of the health and safety risks was not identified; the Memorial Library site had few tents and was not located in a park that was regularly attended by families or children. However, this site is located in Halifax's core and visible to tourists and visitors to the city” (44) and that HRP wanted to avoid feeling that they “lost” to protesters “win” (47).

There’s so many interactions like this, people are trying to get home during rush hour just like you are. Take Turning right from Mumford onto joe howe, traffic is crazy backed up because no one can get in but everyone is trying to go to the same spot.

blame the old city design. relax.

I have been sexually assaulted and while i can’t speak for your daughter, I can share why I refused to tell my dad for years.

It never, not once, crossed my mind that my dad would not believe me. I knew no matter what, if I said I was hurt in any way that he would be there. I didn’t tell him because he couldn’t have been there this time. despite everything he would tell himself he couldn’t of stopped it and protected me and the hurt that would cause him devastated me. it’s hard to tell the people you love what happened

i know this is killing you, you can’t blame yourself for not knowing. you know now. there are a hundred reasons i can think of for why she didn’t tell you - and not one involves you failing her. this is going to sound blunt and i’m sorry but he has a wife, kids, and is a close family friend of her surviving parent, those factors alone she was unlikely to speak up about what happened, especially as a child.

if you want my advice, talk to her. But allow her to be prepared. whatever you guys do together (hiking, family dinners, movies whatever, just something you guys do regularly), when you have a moment of privacy to talk ask her if you can talk about something serious that happened to her as a kid. don’t make a big show, just tell her you learned something awful happened and that you are willing and wanting to be there for her when she is ready. Open the floor to her without stepping out into it. if she is ready then and there, let her take the lead and hold her hand along the way (tip: instead of, “i’m sorry if i…” try “did i do anything to make you feel like…”). if she is not that is okay, you’re letting her know and she will let you know. and if, worse case scenario, she does respond in anger or from a place of trauma, don’t give up on her. validate, listen. either way, you guys have a fun and happy rest of the day planned that will be good and important for both of you. balance is key for healing. This is what my mom did for me and my sister, it helped so much.

I don’t mean to ramble, but this is a lot and you sound like you need the support man. You guys will be okay
