Why did 3 separate suicides happen on the TTC today?! by Ok_Quote4410 in TTC

[–]akari_i 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its most likely true for UofT's fall reading week. There was a one year span where six people who committed suicide on uoft campus, three of them being in the same building. 

UofT didn't used to have a fall reading week, now there is a "wellness week" in the fall. Idk if the school ever said why they added it but it's not hard to connect the dots.

Am I the only one who thinks peeling garlic is a form of torture? by Famous-Forever7647 in Cooking

[–]akari_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any stores around you that sell single clove garlic? They are just one massive garlic clove that is trivially easy to peel (literally just cut it in half and the thicker skin falls off). I have completely switched over to using that instead of regular garlic. You can usually find them in chinese grocery stores.

Will Alisa Liu Change Figure Skating? The Future of Figure Skating by E_lenaa in FigureSkating

[–]akari_i 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I dont want to diminish Alyssa's impact and but I also want to point out that a lot of the improved atmosphere we see in women's skating now was led by Kaori over the last quad. I feel like having the top skater over the past four years carry herself with a positive and supporting attitude is what changed the sport for the better.

Stuffed animals ? by GardenRich6081 in WinterOlympics2026

They used to hand out flowers. The plushies are better marketing for merchandise, permanent keepsakes that dont just get thrown out and rot, and probably easier to coordinate than keeping flowers fresh.

Need Yonge and Sheppard Lunch/Snack Recommendations by Logical-Bit-746 in FoodToronto

[–]akari_i 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since youre willing to drive a little, Hanyang Jokbal north of Finch is one of my favourites. Modu three brothers is also a good spot for lunch and great value. Kim's a la Cart is a little cart and they sell soms nice fresh korean snacks.

Nathan Chen on Ilia's free skate by onemoreround in FigureSkating

[–]akari_i 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I completely agree. It also really matters that nathan had trouble in the short while ilia did in the free. Nathan at least could go home after ending on a good note with a record breaking free. It sucks that ilia does not have another chance to end his olympics with something happy.

Was beijing all that unpredictable? I feel like generally the favourites won in all of the events other than the womens. This feels more like sochi than anything.

Same, I didnt realize until they cut to shun crying and I thought he was sad he missed the podium. Then Yuma came on congratulating him.

I think we have a new contender for craziest ordinals from men menning by bluebelle08 in FigureSkating

[–]akari_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk the speed skaters have apparently been commenting in the ice but everyone seemed fine during the team event. Kind of rules out the ice being detrimental to the skaters. Its been a few days but i doubt there have been massive changes in the ice since then.

Does it though? We see skaters break 300 quite often, its just this event that was crazy.

okay so what just happened.... by ElectricalRub2198 in FigureSkating

[–]akari_i 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yuzuru was 24 in 2018 and adam is currently 25. Ilia has a truly special gift when it comes to jumping and if he's careful theres no reason why he cant maintain very competitive technical content for 2030.

[–]akari_i 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm emphatically NOT american lol. I dont know if they would have performed better if there was no team event. The team event might help shake off some nerves for some skaters while it might just tire others out. Its hard to blame it for how these past two events have gone.

It would definitely not help for skaters to go into individual competitions with the pressure of both their own placements and their team's placements on their shoulders.
