Fog bank rolling into the Halifax Harbour (lemmy.ca)
 

Taken by boat. Slightly visible are some cranes at the shipyard. Usually you'd also see all the Downton skyline. Very cool to watch this roll in!

YES, this is such a peeve for me!!! I've developed an aversion to viewing video content unless it's for something I truly need to see done. And even then, I'm more likely to check wikihow and endure their gifs than I am to watch someone's video. It's just so overdone.

How do you know when it's just a rough patch vs time to end a romantic relationship? I know it's quite personal and varies by relationship, so I'm more interested in folks' experiences than in a general rule or standard. (Although if you do have a rule of thumb to share, would love to hear it too.)

Note: I'm not speaking of abusive situations, but of relationships with ordinary troubles.

Technical or professional writing communities? (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you're aware of any. :)

Any interest in a Halifax/NS/Maritimes themed book club? (lemmy.ca)

I'm blatantly borrowing an idea I saw in the Montreal community...

Would anyone be interested in a virtual book club featuring books set in Halifax, or perhaps the Maritimes more broadly? A thread could be opened and run for a set time (maybe a month), after which a new book would be chosen.

A couple of possibilities off the top of my head. Both are available through HPL and the Libby app.

If a few folks are interested, I would be happy to facilitate the first thread and come up with some discussion questions. ๐Ÿ˜„

HRM council to consider a plan that will fix everything | The Coast (www.thecoast.ca)

While "fix everything" is a bit ambitious, this seems like a step in the right direction. I'm not sure I trust our current council to work toward such a plan with any sort of urgency, considering the numerous delays on something as basic as tap-to-pay transit... but shoot for the moon, I guess.

What do you think?

What's your preferred game setup for Civ 6? (lemmy.ca)
 

I started playing Civ 6 on console about a year ago, and I've finally acquired all the expansion packs and additional leaders. (While I'm very excited about it, my SO's response when they see me playing is usually "Ugh, not that CORN GAME" again ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Now that I have all possibilities unlocked, my goal is to find a combination of game rules, options, and modes to give myself a good challenge while keeping it fun.

So far, I typically do Gathering Storm rules and enable Secret Societies and Heroes & Legends. Occasionally I'll do Dramatic Ages. Barbarian Clans are a must. And usually I disable Diplomatic Victory.

What are your preferences? Do you have an "optimal" game setup you like to play? Are there any cool custom games that I should try out?

Do you need to vent about something? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm at a crossroads in life where I need to start making large and impactful decisions about my future. It's a very lonely place to be.

Will my long term relationship last?

Do I want it to?

Will I try to stay in this (IRL) community?

Do I want to?

Will I stay in this career path?

Can I afford not to?

Etc.

Usually I'd talk to my partner about all this, but because our relationship is also part of my issues, I feel like I can't. So as a result... I'm feeling lonely and overwhelmed.
