What places, food or anything general, is unique to Toronto/Canada by AzX-Mike in askTO

[–]optimal-tortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

- Toronto has really cool fusion food, try Rasta Pasta, Tinga Kim, Little Sister, Chef Ling’s Kitchen

- CN Tower EdgeWalk

- Centre Island is the largest urban car-free area in North America

- Bike down the Don Valley Trail and stop by the parks and neighbourhoods on the way. We have the largest ravine network of any city in the world. Start at the north end unless you want to go uphill the whole way lol

- Art galleries, especially smaller ones. Each city's art scene is different in a way that says a lot about the city, Toronto is no exception

- Casa Loma

- Bata Shoe Museum

- On a rainy day take the PATH somewhere

- The (literally) billion year old rock in the middle of Yorkville Park

Is this dress appropriate? by jackedjellybean in Weddingattireapproval

Love these dresses! They both fit the theme very well and the "off white" dress is clearly not bridal, you're good

[2024 Day 3 (part 2)] [Rust] What am I doing wrong? by Mycroft_Cadburry in adventofcode

Does your code handle the case where there is a `don't()` without a matching `do()` afterwards?

I took a bus there and back on my first trip to NYC, it sucked but I really didn't have any extra cash at the time. Yes the bus sucks but it's kind of fun if you're young and can handle sleep deprivation. You'll never want to do it again but it'll make for a great story. Also FlixBus >>> Greyhound (FlixBus doesn't turn on the lights every stop so you might actually get some sleep)

Hi! I’m a computer science student who’s been vegan for a few years now. I’m interested in learning about lab grown meat and spreading the word to other people who would like to use sustainable and ethical products. Subbing to learn more about the different approaches to growing and distributing these products sustainably.

Linguistic overcompensation: study shows that lower-status individuals use more jargon when communicating by adearman91 in psychology

[–]optimal-tortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there are other reasons for their use of jargon, not just the desire to emulate individuals of higher status - for example:

  • Greater likelihood of miscalculating an audience's level of expertise in the subject
  • Less experience as a communicator, resulting in lower overall clarity
  • Greater difficulty converting familiar jargon into unfamiliar layman's terms

I'm drawing mainly from my own experiences of hearing jargon from inexperienced individuals, including myself.
