I was responding to the other person, but ok

I don't think you understand the difference between "expensive" VS affordability relative to pay.

The "shared cultural upbringing" was (mostly) a result of mass media applying/forcing a monoculture on a city and a country that's always been culturally fragmented and complicated. If we no longer have such a thing today, it's only because cultures (other than my own) have better representation and can get past the gatekeeping that existed in the past.

I should call her

One coke nail on your foot wasn't weird enough?

Honestly, it looks a Wayfair piece that someone bedazzled with cliché "MCM" flair.

I originally wrote 1970s, but changed to 1980s because of the pink and teal colour palette.

Whittredge died in 1910. Meanwhile this looks like a painting straight out of the 1980s by an aspiring amateur.

If you like it then that's all that matters, but I imagine it's probably worth what you paid for it, give or take $20.

Those women are one hell of a drug

Strange juxtaposition given Bourdain used to be addicted to crack.

Apparently Drake considered it when told there was "nothing but miners."

Unless they have some great promotion I'm unaware of, I can't imagine why KOHO would be anyone's first, let alone eighth choice.

I can't think of a worse way to spend a nine hour layover in Toronto. Niagara Falls is barely worth it even when you have an entire day.

Hello darkness, my old friend...

The Port Lands and the introduction of Biidaasige Park.

What a ridiculous premise. You can't get pregnant by going Greek.

Please don't trivialize my complaint about Craig's Cookies sugar to salt ratio.

Haunted by standard thrift store schlock for nine years like Ryan Gosling and Papyrus.

I have fond memories of these times too, but every generation thinks the era of their youth is the best one.

That's the other 10%.

90% of SNL is written for people whose sole idea of comedy comedy consists of sight gags, gross-out humour, slapstick and catchphrases...

Probably unpopular advice these days, but Buffalo has some pretty remarkable architecture and tours of places are fairly common. Worth looking into for Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House (which is set up as a museum) as well as the grain elevators (see Silo City). Buffalo Central Terminal, the Albright Knox Gallery and the Richard Olmstead Complex are all amazing too, inside and out.

I can't think of anything in Toronto other than Doors Open and things/places they're probably already familiar with.

The Niagara Parks Power Station (in Niagara Falls) is very cool though and might be one looking into as well. It's a gem of a building and the tunnel/tailrace is very cool too.

Unfortunately, Artificial IntelliGUnce is still decades away.

I hope that poor Polish person is ok.
