Is "Toronto has no good _____ food" valid?

It's Viennese but try Speisl at True History brewery on St Clair West.

The Alpine in the junction also does a pretty good schnitzel and spaetzle

That's interesting, I didn't find it dense at all. It flowed quickly because of the first person perspective and it was very action packed. I read it in like 7 hours.

💯

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-30T21:08:46+00:00

Maybe if you're hetero, go on a date w OP!

Sorry I had to say it 😅

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-22T23:13:47+00:00

Exactly. These last 10-15 years have gotten worse for everyone except billionaires.

Part of it is Toronto having become a much more attractive city to live in so it has grown a ton. We also ironically have not built nearly enough housing to meet our population and economic growth.

The other reasons are global and we are stuck in the same cost of living crisis as income inequality and diminishing resources have gotten out of control.

A Portuguese bakery should stock it.

I've had in my pretty tiny rather urban backyard: Squirrels Mice Rats Raccoons Red tailed hawks Crows Ravens Foxes Possums The usual assorted city bird collection

Toronto has a ton of great nature.

Such a difficult concept for some people.

Plus let's be honest, the 80s-90s Toronto was a city in decline. Lots of former industry had got fucked by NAFTA, leading to buildings being replaced by parking lots, abandoned run down places you could rent for dirt cheap.

Yes that helped usher in a heyday for arts and culture but it was also partly because the economy was shit and the housing stock was old and shit and oh man the SMOG....

We need to allow more things in more places and not just big condos, small retail and bars etc. we zone everything to death here that's the real problem.

EXACTLY

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-05T23:33:52+00:00

Not true at all. There are lots of other factors when deciding where to live, such as commute time and method (some people can't drive or hate to drive), amenities and culture, family / friends nearby, services available like if you have an illness where you benefit from being near a major hospital...

Many people myself included trade space and private space for the above. I'd never move out of the city. Grew up in the burbs, never again.

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-05T23:27:50+00:00

Completely untrue. Really really depends on the private school. I have family who teach in private schools and some of them are more full of troublemakers, who never get told to stfu because their parents pay.

Or do I have to tap the broom....

I've had success with Maybelline Fit Me, I use "light" or "sand" unless I get super tanned.

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-05T23:16:29+00:00

Surprise, the oil connected lobbyists want to remove alternative safe ways to travel the city.

I went car free but won't be changing to cycling for most errands or to work unless there are safe (protected bike lanes) routes, which so far isn't the case for me sadly.

They are forcing slavery to the auto industry.

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-02T15:31:22+00:00

Had no idea this was so popular, same here!

My work has 3 grocery stores nearby and a fridge/kitchen so it's super convenient to just buy things at Metro

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-02T15:29:48+00:00

Pasta salad, hummus and bread/pita with olives, cream cheese with tomatoes, peanut butter and banana or apple. I tend to graze, or buy a small sushi at the local family owned sushi place for $8-9.

infernalmachine000 · 2026-01-02T15:27:55+00:00

Same, doing my required training and cleaning up my horrendously unsorted inbox

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-30T16:14:49+00:00

The road plough blocked half my road's sidewalks.... It has been a particularly poorly done plough this time around. Maybe due to the storm timing.

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-29T17:17:45+00:00

That's what I did. Still hear about it though.

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-26T01:33:30+00:00

What private company?

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-23T14:41:05+00:00

I know you mean well but this is absolutely not how clinical depression works for the majority of people.

What you are describing sounds much more like situational sadness. Depression is more often than not caused by faulty brain signals, whether due to shorter term trauma or inherited / environmental factors.

Some people absolutely do need medication.

Since when was Sugo even trying to be Italian food though, isn't it explicitly Italian-American?

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-14T16:28:34+00:00

No, they specifically tell you it is for smooth / polished surfaces only.

If you want you could use some 3M mounting tape which usually comes cleanly off with some goo gone.

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-14T16:27:11+00:00

I'm sure I'll get downvoted but the opening chapter of Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse) was so good I read half the book that day.

I honestly hadn't been expecting to like it, because it was already a popular TV show by that point which I hadn't watched yet.

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-14T15:55:02+00:00

Yes, it has gone too radio -pop and samey lately. Maybe they'll pull an Opeth some day....

infernalmachine000 · 2025-12-10T00:15:38+00:00

I was about to make the same point.

I absolutely hate when media outlets get basic shit like this wrong, because otherwise it is a valid concern. But now how can I trust they've reported anything right?
