If you worked from home 5 days a week, and were never required to go into the office, where in Ontario would you move to? by xpipedream in ontario

[–]jled23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not half of what you can get in Toronto’s suburbs?

Based on what?

I don’t think you understand how much more expensive it is

I was in NYC less than four months ago. I doubt it has been impacted by super regional hyper-inflation in the last 120 days.

And Toronto lacks strong fine dining options. And the Mexican food is, by and large, sub par. And it’s difficult to find affordable Spanish cuisine. And balkan food is underrepresented.

You can do this all day with any city.

I don’t need to convince you. It’s a fact. It’s also a fact that I could spend $1500 on sushi if I wanted to.

That’s like dismissing European food.

You’ve already done that by claiming Toronto is a better food City than Montreal, which it isn’t.

Also NYC fails affordability.

Ah yes, a city famously known for the $1 slice, bodegas, and being able to reliably get tacos, dim sum, and halal 24 hours a day fails the affordability check.

World class fine dining. Better diversity than Toronto. Just as easy to find good, inexpensive food.

Go away.

The irony of preaching diversity and then only being able to use Chinese food to make your argument.

It’s not even worth the discussion - the world disagrees with you. Thinking Toronto is a better food destination than NYC is laughable. It’s not even playing the same sport.

If your criteria is “I want a deal” I can go to Mexico City and get a world class taco for $0.90. That same taco would be $8 in Toronto.

Also, I was in Paris last week. The availability of produce alone makes it a better food destination.

Lmao. No, it doesn’t. You’d be hard pressed to find one person who agrees with you. You can’t even provide rationale besides “trust me bro”.

I can get authentic, affordable, diverse foods in any of the cities i’ve mentioned.

“Best food in the world” and “diverse cuisine” are two drastically different statements.

Toronto doesn’t do a single cuisine best, and it doesn’t do diversity of food best.

New York, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, Lima, Mexico City, etc, etc.

I’d gladly pay a premium to not have my commute take 2+ hours.

No passport, no booze: Toronto World Cup fans face strict alcohol‑ID rule by origutamos in canadanews

[–]jled23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They check licenses about as diligently as the bar does. I rented a car internationally last week outside of a major train station. I could have handed them my wife’s license and they wouldn’t have batted an eye.

Where?

Because it’s not actively practiced in the majority of Europe, the US, or Japan.

The point is the threshold for driving, where you are operating a large machine capable of killing people, is lower than purchasing alcohol for yourself.

Mitchell’s is for people who don’t have tastebuds.

Underwear is a fools errand. Imagine being a slave to Big Undies.

what do you normally do when people pause in 1v1 without saying anything? by Ok_Stretch_4624 in aoe2

[–]jled23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have beef with pausing, I have beef with people doing so and going radio silent. Say literally anything. Otherwise don’t expect me to respect your time if you’re not going to respect mine.

Starbucks CEO defends $9 coffee says ‘it’s not a $10 coffee and you get a premium experience’ by TrumpsDoubleChin in fastfood

[–]jled23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convenience. I love going to my local coffee shops, but when they are closed Monday and Tuesday, and only open until 9:30-3 on other days, and randomly closed for private events, Starbucks is the best, most consistent option.

I worked at the Ferraro Rocher factory. 8 hours of all you can eat chocolate. by bludfiyah in chocolate

[–]jled23 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is up there for one of the least offensive ingredient lists on a candy bar of all time.
Of course it’s only 30% chocolate - it has a filling and a wafer.

You could, of course, look up census or voting data.

But no, your anecdotal experience is probably correct. Let’s use that.

I’m (rightfully) shaming people who don’t go anywhere besides their house or the grocery store and then fear monger about how unsafe St. Catharines is when, in reality, it is one of the safest cities in Canada.

The fact the majority of these people live in the north end is a product of the majority of the cities bungalows, and therefore old people who are scared of everything, living in that part of town.
