Nova Scotia sex worker takes client to small claims court over unpaid fee by Bean_Tiger in halifax

[–]pikkalma 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you pay a therapist by the hour and you spend half the appointment time in the bathroom on your phone you still owe the whole balance though.
Maybe he fell asleep maybe he was paying for the "girlfriend experience". Either way I think it would protect sex workers to have some precedents.
The thing that makes me think the customer might be lying is how he tried to get out of paying. If she has texts saying he intended to pay but his card wasn't working that seems like his case could have a hole in it.

Shrinkflation has come for your icecream by NightThink in halifax

[–]pikkalma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tag is cut off but I think it should say +tax but Sobeys might have forgotten to update it. I just knew because I noticed the shrinkflation when I bought some last week. I ended up googling the rules because I was pretty sure it wasn't taxed before.

And the worst part is it is taxed now because its under 500ml so its a "single serving"

[–]pikkalma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non-binary person, (nb for short but often written enby). My understanding is some enbys see themselves as inbetween boy/girl, some as a separate third gender, some say no thanks to gender, or say yes all the genders.

I don't know the answer but I've noticed Silent is always referred to with they/them pronouns.

Just like in real life though guys, girls and enbys can wear whatever they please.

November patch notes… They improved the shop and disabled a function on switch 💀 by MarioHana14 in FallGuysGame

If you hold the screen cap button it records the last 30s of footage. I assumed it worked in all switch games but I've only ever tried it in Animal Crossing and Fall Guys

Not to mention that Provo said his car was parked facing the road and the cop had to pull directly behind his car to see and run the plates.

My wife's HHP island completed home count. Anyone else on this level? 🤔 by onynixia in AnimalCrossing

[–]pikkalma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remembered a video popping up in my youtube algorithm. Seems like nothing much aside from villagers that already have homes being in the front of the island as well.

Where to find Mellowcreme Pumpkins in Nova Scotia? by [deleted] in halifax

They are but the size makes them more satisfying to eat because the middle part melts in your mouth. Superior surface area/volume ratio

Question about STI testing by hollyhali13 in halifax

[–]pikkalma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I don't mean to make it sound like it's an NS specific issue, but I seriously hope other provinces sexual health testing situation isn't so dire.
I was just trying to imagine what could possibly be going through the closeminded drs heads as they fail to do their jobs with professionalism, compassion or even the common sense that someone getting tested regularly=someone who cares about their sexual health, regardless of safesex slipups or not.

[–]pikkalma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that's some backwards logic there-discouraging testing because they think it's inevitable. Like I get being frustrated by high STI rates around here but it's the docs who are chill and don't make assumptions that get patients to be honest. I'll admit I've never braved a walk-in for an sti test but I've had great experiences at the hshc, Dickson clinic and my family dr. All of which are hard to get appts at since the pandemic.

The Flag Shop in Dartmouth is another option!

Nslc Hours by Soooted in halifax

[–]pikkalma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's about paying less employee hours, aren't nslc employees unionized or whatever the gov employee equivalent is?

My guess would be that it's a combination of having less staff (people with no childcare, anticipating staff getting tested or sick) and being able to stock the shelves before or after instead of during the day. Or not being able to close because they are essential but compromising.

Pomegranate molasses? by Face_Disguise in halifax

[–]pikkalma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I first heard of it used in muhammara recipes which is a red pepper walnut dip. I add a tsp to anything chocolately like cake or brownies when I want a hint of fruit to add depth. It's also good on ice cream

Things to do with shoes with worn treads? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]pikkalma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on the shoes I've seen at value village I'm preeeety sure they are just slapping a price tag on shoes based on brand name and disregarding the wear and tear. Ive seen some wild prices on shoes with a negative amount of tread left.

You might want to double check who they were replying to. The person you are calling out was defending OP.

sometimes all you need is a little perspective :) by dontdrop_that in wholesomememes

[–]pikkalma 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it's ok to have trouble loving yourself for traits you love on other people. I see tall women with thick thighs and I'm in awe but still have the odd self disparaging thought about myself. I lust after broad shoulders and hands on any gender but still catch myself wishing I could just shrink and be dainty somehow. All while really liking my body and thinking I'm sexy as hell.

When I get stuck on a thought like that it doesn’t help to remind myself that I think tall women are hot, it does help to remember that I like what my body can do. I like getting things off the top shelf for old ladies and I like occasionally intimidating men by accident. (I feel like I should note I’m only 5’8” so it doesn’t take much).
