Reads more like a psychotic break or a bad drug reaction than "entitlement".

I don't know. Like FZ said, "There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life."

This is equally true of assholism.

This is my least favourite building in Halifax:



It's right behind the Central Library, and across the street from this other awful building that just recently was completed:

Bah, the freakish metal sheet notwithstanding, it's quite fine I'd say.

How has that never been on here before?!? I've never seen brick emulate the look of plywood from afar. What is that metal sheeting? Are they in the midst of covering it up?

The second one's not so bad.

I don't know how it's never been on here, because I think of how ugly it is every time I walk by. The building is Dalhousie's Gerard Hall, and that metal sheet has been there for as long as I can remember at least... not sure of its purpose.

The other building I mainly dislike for all the unnecessary different materials and colours.

That building used to connect to a hospital complex that was torn down in 2005 or so.

I miss Rob Ford now that President Dump is in office. He may have been inept and damaged but at least Rob was funny and mostly harmless. He was like if Chris Farley lived and became mayor of a metropolis.

Interesting. It does have that nurses residence vibe to it.
