Great Canadian Skyline Thread II

[Delirium]

some really great skyline shots in this video but it's the guys commentary (an Irishman who's never seen Canadian cities before) is what makes it entertaining.

That's the kind of city I'm used to, no shacks in sight Let's note that there's a bunch of unarguably urbanistically-bad things about it, all visible right outside the core (huge Canada Post surface parking lot, elevated multi-lane freeway, dead/zero-vibrancy polluting/stinking industrial areas).

I’m just curious what that building is in St. Johns.

I'm just surprised any SSP regular wouldn't know it already. It's almost as infamous as the Laval clocktower.

Is that a shack on the pier?

Wow Flight Simulator has come a long way from what I remember playing as a kid on DOS.

That’s kind of how I experience flying into our three largest cities as a passenger too:

YVR: dramatic mountains
YUL: lakes, rivers and islands that are hard to place
YYZ: endless sea of warehouses

Yep, looks like a landlocked wooden shack to me

As I said before, your cognitive dissonance is astounding. How can you not see what a troll you are? I guess that is part of what makes you a troll, total lack of self awareness. Stunning.

Wait, how come you're reading my posts...? Last I checked you were bragging that you weren't seeing them.

I'm open to treating you differently if you've grown up just let me know.

You've never treated me any type of way, you just constantly spew nonsensical bilge for the past 9 years, and I call you out on it/correct your misinformation. I couldn't care less how you "treat" me. I've always had enough self awareness on here to admit when I'm wrong, learn new things, change my opinions when provided information on something I wasn't sure of, and do my best to present diverse views of cities across the nation. I even left the forum for over a year because my mental health had failed, which I was also honest about. All of that is contrary to how you've acted in your entire tenure on this forum. After the nonsense you've propagated the past two weeks, now reflecting that with all your past bullshit... I truly see how pathetic you are now. I did want to be treated fairly and decently by the likes of you, MX, and Rousseau once upon a time, but you're all grownass old men who have had a decade to grow up and be decent people, to learn something about how to treat others, and you haven't. I'm really proud with how I've progressed on here and in life, thanks to my self awareness and hard-fought personal growth. You are simply a troll, and that's all you'll ever be on here, and that's ok with me now, because you yourself finally proved that fact over the past two weeks. Now I can read it and just laugh, like I always should have Good luck if you ever choose to introspect and grow.


Sorry y'all for the derail again. Obviously had to say that though.

Not a trigger, just correcting wilful misinformation. It was a two week long nonsensical troll of Lio's about downtown Calgary being surrounded by "wooden shacks", but could only produce one example in his entire two weeks of trolling. Apparently it hasn't ended though, so 2.5 weeks.


Anyways, enough is enough...

If I may explain a bit.

Lio has a trait which I also share which is that if someone seems (in his or my view) overly sensitive about something, to be point of being caricatural, there is this urge to regularly hammer on that nail. The more someone gets annoyed, the more you hammer on the nail.

It's not necessarily a nice trait to have, but it is what it is.

Speaking from personal experience, once someone demonstrates they don't care about the teasing, it generally stops.

I actually refrain from doing this online, but I do it in everyday life sometimes as it's easier in person for it to come across for what it actually is in my case: good-natured teasing.
