>I should've never looked up what it looks like before the remodeling
I feel this way about a lot of buildings that were "remodeled" (read: ruined). The Royal Ontario Museum is one such example. I can't stand the architects with chips on their shoulders; they want to design buildings to "prove" something, never for the benefit of the public's eye. They want to purposefully destroy our heritage and create ugly things to mock society. It's degenerate.

>>2588503
It is very depressing. That's why I advocate for historical preservation and protest the demolition of old buildings. If you don't already know the mailing address of your local representatives (both municipal and provincial), learn them now and keep an eye on developments in your recent area.

There are lots of active groups that already do this, especially in major population centres. Usually they're called something to the effect of "historical preservation advocacy group." Just look around your local area and see if there's a group like that near you - if there isn't, look to see if there's a province-wide one.

The problem is that even when we write letters or attend public meetings to demand action to maintain old buildings, we're still fighting a losing battle. Since the majority of buildings are privately owned, the owner has the right to remodel (or even destroy) them whenever they'd like, like picrel for example. That's why a lot of groups focus on larger, more well-known buildings owned by corporations or companies.

>>2588477
>butt ugly humans right museum
I can't remember where I read this, perhaps in an old architecture journal or a political tract, but I once read about how a lot of the buildings built by and for the federal government are purposefully built in ugly, cheap, & utilitarian styles. The reasoning given was that the federal government believed that if it were to construct beautiful, decorated, monumental buildings, the supposed cost and opulence of these projects would alienate the provinces. The federal government doesn't want to project an image of splendor or grandness because it fears the resentment of the provincial governments. This became particularly noticeable after WW2, when Canada was struggling to individuate from Britain.

i'm not actually sure what to call this, it's not memes and it's not pop culture references (ok, thread pic is but it's more than that), it's more like a few people make a situational "relatable" observation and then the entire internet grabs onto it and repeats it like it gives them a fun personality and they're the ones who thought of it? other examples off the top of my head are "i hope ____ steps on a lego", "thanks, it has pockets!!", "do not perceive me" etc etc etc

Chudjak and memes originating from the sharty are also oddly popular and I think that's why, rather than it just being /pol/tards. Probably because most of its userbase is underage.

I had a similar experience at my old job when i told a co-worker that i didn't want kids and she told me that she wanted 12 kids and she was flabbergasted that i didn't want a husband or kids. I cannot understand how some women are seriously unable to understand wanting a child-free husband-free life. However, i think being a single woman is still incredibly demonized in this day and age, even in the rise of the "girl-boss" archetype who still almost always have a husband and kids. I just can't fathom living a life where i am at the mercy of others constantly, i am too much of a control freak to feasibly date. If i date, i need a younger man i can control and will be obedient.

As the title says.
Post experiences, why you can't stand them and such.
This is NOT about your own disorder, so don't blogpost/vent, there's already a thread for that.
This thread is about mental illness you can't stand in others.
Please refrain from coming in this thread and say stupid shit like "Oh that's why nobody likes me" or "Damn seeing this thread as a [thing] sufferer makes me uncomfortable" because nobody will pity you OR to defend a specific disorder because "[thing] people are actually etc etc" because seeing patterns is not illegal. If your disorder gets posted here, cope and hide the thread, don't be a little bitch.

EXACTLY
I had a fight with an ex-friend and she literally said this. "You may hate me but nobody hates me more than I hate myself." First off bitch, I didn't hate you before, but now I do. That bitch manipulated me. Part of my anger is how stupid and foolish I was to think that she wasn't manipulating me. She was someone I wanted as a close friend for the rest of my life. Then I realized she doesn't give a fuck about hurting my feelings or even being a friend - she just wanted what she could get from me and the first time I pushed back against her, she started the whole shaking shitting crying I hate myself more than anyone I feel unsafe bullshit. Good, hate yourself, because you clearly don't know how to do anything other than hurt other people and burden them with your problems.
>>2583722
I told this bitch I wasn't going to reassure her more than once that I wasn't mad at her. You know what she said? "I feel unsafe". As if watching an almost 6 foot sobbing 35 year old woman shake and cry because I asked her to move something in the apartment wouldn't make me feel unsafe. I hate that stupid bitch.
>>2588887
The clusterbee I lived with was older than me and everyone else in my friend group. She's dating a younger man and has told me several times how she likes "himbos". What she really means is that she needs someone stupider than her so she can get away with pulling them around on a mental leash and making them feel responsible for her feelings.

I really fucking hate American work culture. I'm extremely jealous of British work culture and I'm never gonna sugarcoat it. The fact that bongs mog the japs on work productivity despite Japan being the most workaholic hellhole on Earth can say a lot of things. Like how is this rainy little island more productive than work addicted Japan despite being so much more relaxed about labor? Some cultures are just better than others.

Had the worst fucking day today.
>Woke up twenty minutes after I was supposed to have left for work.
>Decided to get the bus, which would have left me at work five minutes after my shift was supposed to start if it had come. But it didn't, I was waiting there until five minutes past my shift had already passed and there was no sign of it. So I had to walk the rest of the way and made it in half an hour late. Would have been 15-20 minutes late if I had just walked the rest of the way instead of waiting for a bus that disappears into thin air.
>Another really fucking busy day
>Tried to take my break at half one, when an old man turned up wanting to be served.
>Berated me about how rude the young people are these days are even though I was polite, waited for him as he took an eternity to choose fillings, and made him his food the way he asked for it. I just didn't take his attempts to bait me into conversation and didn't laugh at his "jokes." Which weren't even jokes, literally just mundane shit like saying he wanted ham on the roll, except with laughter in his voice and a big grin like he expected me to laugh. Instead of fucking off and paying for his food when I gave it to him, he stood there and complained about me right in front of me supervisor. As if I owe him anything more than basic courtesy and giving him his food.
>Finally took my break ten minutes after I was supposed to have.
>Went to the locker room to get my lunch, a container of soup, which I hadn't gotten to put in the staff fridge in the morning as I was so late
>Opened my bag and found that the soup had leaked out everywhere through a crack in the container (no clue how it even got cracked, it was one of those premade pots of soup with really thick plastic containers and there was nothing sharp in my bag).
>The soup leaked onto my wallet, which thankfully was closed properly so it didn't ruin my money, but it did ruin the embroidery on it. It also got all over my coin purse (which is tough to clean because it's beaded), my pads, an envelope with my contract inside, and my charger.

I have this customer who's friendly to my other colleagues but very nitpicky whenever I serve her for some reason. For example, today I made her a roll and she came back to complain because the paper it was wrapped in was apparently greasy. But my assistant manager rewrapped it and he said there was nothing wrong with the way I wrapped it and that the roll looked perfect. Every my supervisor, who's really tough on us when food has to be rewrapping or remade, said the way I did it was fine and she was just looking for something to complain about.
I don't know what I did to piss her off. She's nice to my other colleagues and even sticks around to chat with them sometimes, but to me she's neutral at best (which I don't mind) or else she's finding a reason to complain about my work. I'm just a minimum wage worker trying to get through the day, I don't know why she singles me out to complain about.

The childcare scandal infuriates me and I’m sick of hearing about it on the news. How many children have to get raped before they learn men/troon cannot be trusted near kids? This society is a joke. Valuing the fee fees of mentally ill males who pretend to be normal over the safety of women and children. Only hire women. REAL women. You cannot trust males near kids. The worst a woman ever did to me was raise her voice at me. They won’t change anything though because apparently keeping males away from little kids would be “discrimination”. Pathetic. Talk about so open-minded your brain falls out. The moid was literally covered in tats and you thought hiring him was a good idea? Can Australia be a little less retarded please.

Even if a million good men are discriminated against unfairly, it's worth it if it saves even ONE child from being assaulted. Men's feelings are nothing compared to the safety of kids.
