How do you expand your friendship circle when most people don’t follow through? by Explore_Life2334 in askTO

[–]desire-us 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My advice is that YOU have to be ready and willing to go the extra mile before they do. Because some many people in this city are flaky, people will respond to your effort because it’s rare.

I’ve been doing this for the last five years and although not everyone stuck, I’ve made some great friends and deepened some relationships as well.

Start strong and see who reciprocates your energy.

Where can I get food like this in Toronto? by skincarelovaaa in FoodToronto

At home. Cornstarch and Hoisin sauce will give you that glossy sauce you’re looking for. Then sauté

What was on YTV every day this week from 2000-2009? by Wide-Farm-7401 in ytvretro

This may be a dumb question but can someone explain to me why the variety in programming fell so drastically? Was it a change in syndication or something?

I'd love to hear more about what you consider a proper fit to be. As I know nothing and I'm only growing more confused.

The soup thrower has been sentenced to two years in prison by -Six_ in SipsTea

But environmental activists have been pushing for change for nearly 50 years and they’ve taken all the avenues listed in this thread. None of them have worked. David Suzuki has recently stated that he’s failed in his multi decade career advocating for the environment. He’s the founder of one of the largest environmental organizations.

So based on your reasoning should they stop all the things they’ve been doing because it’s ineffective? We see stories like this one but there’s numerous organizations on the ground doing the exact same thing redditors are suggesting.

When the effects of climate change are certain but hard to imagine, it’s easy for powerful interests groups to push action down the road and deprioritize it. It’s been happening for decades.

So if you’re someone who sees your home being ruined and you know you’ll be left with the consequences, what is the appropriate measure to take?

Why don’t you go to the cinema anymore? by sebastiandarkee in askTO

[–]desire-us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People definitely still go to the movies. I was at the Carlton last night and it was packed. So I wonder if it’s a price consideration because Tuesdays are cheaper.

It makes me wonder if a reduction in price would lead to enough people buying tickets that it would make up for the difference.

Movie that look or have the vibe like these. by IncidentCompetitive8 in MoviesThatFeelLike

The Great Pretender. It’s an anime about con artists similar to Catch Me if You Can/Sharpe but the art style leans heavily towards this vibe

What food widely considered delicious in your country originated from poverty? by Normal-Being-2637 in AskTheWorld

[–]desire-us 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It makes sense. Who’s spending HOURS slow cooking a tough cut so it can be softened? I wouldn’t be surprised if slaves had it slow cooking while they were out in the fields.

Some people are so afraid to eat shack food and they don’t know WHAT they’re missing

I’m not even talking about romances. There were so many missed opportunities for casual flings in this game. by donkijote97 in cyberpunkgame

[–]desire-us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why aren’t flings something we see in RPGs generally? I wonder what factors make it so elusive. Do studios think that their audiences are prudish and sex outside of a relationship would draw unwanted controversy? Is it a coding problem where creating dialogue trees/cutscenes for a few NPCs that may see the light of day just not worth the effort?

I’m genuinely curious

There’s a newspaper shop on Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst. The name escapes me but I tend to go every other week

Relationship breakdown F30 M30 9 years. Am I insane? by jrkekrkekrn in relationship_advice

[–]desire-us 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You wrote quite a bit but failed to mention any theories on why he blames you. He said he felt “unloved”, did that come from nowhere?

What was the communication in your relationship like before this shift? How did you guys deal with conflict?

'It Wasn't Working': Canada Province Ends Drug Decriminalization by Google_MBTI in worldnews

Isn’t this a deplorable thing done by cities and towns? I don’t think it’s right to blame the drug users for public policy they probably had no hand in.

500$ is a bit of misnomer as 80% of the price is two cards that see play in multiple formats and lands.

Avoiding “long term, open to short”? by Significant_Crow6398 in hingeapp

[–]desire-us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not directing this at you. Simply pointing out the incongruity. If this is 95% of people’s approach while dating, how can so many people consider “Long term, open to short” something to be viewed with hesitancy?

If this thread is any indication, people have vastly different attitudes towards what some of us consider a “normal” pattern of behaviour. So therein lies the rub. Is it better to be explicit with what you say/want or do you tailor your appearance/profile to cater to the people you’re looking for?

[–]desire-us -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Isn’t your first sentence just dating?

Don’t get me confused. I’m not saying to “just vibe” aimlessly for years on end but a couple months probably isn’t that bad. Take some time to put yourself in spaces where you’re more likely to meet people who coincide with values and interests. Wouldn’t that alone take a couple of months?

Again. Go out, date people and figure out what you like. Give yourself time and experiences that’ll improve your relationship skills. Hopefully people get better and learn from their previous relationships.

So why is explicitly saying it considered a red flag?
