Toronto is a pretty sweet town, I prefer Vancouver personally, but Toronto is Canada's Bonafide metropolis. I'd equate it to like a Houston or Seattle in American terms, maybe a little lesser.
Weird. I've danced past midnight before, and plan to do so again next Friday.
If that is a law no one seems to care and no one seems to enforce it in my area.
Edit: Looks like a handful of crackdowns in a few areas, and all very far away from me.
and then when i've had some asian dishes where it's like, succulent, soft, basically-disintegrating fat is a tasty morsel that lends flavor and richness
like, even cooked crispy the pork belly that i enjoyed a lot in ramen and pho would i think be regarded by most of my family (who don't really eat foreign cuisine) as disgusting
have you seen the new die hard? it's so bad...
In Japan the more you pay, the fattier the meat is, pretty much.
Which is amazing for me because I can get a cut just the way I like for pretty cheap.
being able to drive for like three hours in any direction* and never leave this kind of half-urbanized sprawl of big box stores and fast food franchises and traffic everywhere jesus christ
I would legit lose my mind
I'm not sure where else I would live if given the opportunity. The Pac Northwest is the most likely and obvious candidate. The weather and the politics certainly agree with me. I've also thought about the Twin Cities; for some reason there's a really large KC expat community there and I'd have a ton of people to hang with and there is a lot to do.
I love Chicago but kind of more to visit than if I had to live there and drive every day. It's on the "if I was independently wealthy/could work from home" list.
There are a lot of cool "liberal enclave" type places here in the Midwest, like Madison, WI or Austin or Omaha, but none of them have enough different from here in KC that I would want to leave.
I don't think I would want to live in the Southwest but Albuquerque seems like the best of a bad lot in that regard. It struck me as skewing more toward blue collar/denim/outdoorsy types and less to hateful retirees and there are a ton of outdoors things to do in the immediate vicinity.
Florida is a rancid shithole. I don't hate many places, but I hated my time in Florida.

no, it looked terrible, and I say this as someone who loves 1 and 3 and Bruce Willis in general

you wanna go, brah?
Nah, LA isn't really like that. You can drive three hours in plenty of directions and get out of the urban sprawl (though you'll often end up in a desert) and the traffic is really overstated. Just certain times of the day in specific locations, really.
Now I'm off to sit on a horse and be in the general vicinity of this one girl.
The girl isn't the horse.
but this is just dreadful, everything about it is un-good
Southern California is at least purgatory yeah. But the most horrifying place I have ever seen is Dallas / Ft Worth. It is sprawl as far as the eye can see and totally flat. At least in socal you can look around at the hills and there's an Ocean and such.
And of course it's Texas so you have the worst school board and state government in the country to deal with too.
god netflix needs to get the newer seasons of venture bros
I never imagine myself making enough to live in the northeast in conditions I wouldn't find utterly intolerable
I mean unless we're talking Maine or New Hampshire or something, then sure

Have I ever told you about when I had to drive from San Diego to San Francisco?
And I left at the wrong time and hit LA in the middle of the day
and it was the last Lakers game of the season
and it was the last day of E3
Because actually LA doesn't sound like hell, it is hell. Two hours got me about four hundred feet.
Also I would love to live in the Pacific Northwest and hope to be able to move there after getting my degree in whatever it is I'm studying.
Fat creates flavor but it doesn't really have any of it's own. Chowing down on big chunks of pure fat is gross.
and it's late
and the diner delivery menu on my desk is taunting me
and now it's 2 AM, I don't have food, and I'm hungry
thanks, [chat]
also: worst. texture. ever.
so gross.
Oh god that sounds terrible.
But also... uh...
There are freeways that go around LA.
It is kind of on you in this scenario for taking the wrong freeway.
Maine....is clannish. Like Hatfields and McCoys clannish. And New Hampshire is...well just don't live there.
Naan IS delicious.
Now I'm hungry.
Well I hated LA already.
It seems more fun to blame that than my poor planning. And the fact that I didn't know there was a basketball game until afterwards.
now to sit back and read this free cyberpunk RPG based on Lady Blackbird
now what am I gonna tell the investors of "podly's fine lard and unfried chicharitos dining experience?"
we already bought the coagulated pork fat iv lines!
oh yeah I didn't even consider Texas. the politics and the heat are all like neon signs saying KEEP AWAY JACOB

Not fans of prime rib then? Cause, that stuff is fatty as hell, and absolutely fucking delicious, and pretty popular in the states.
Click here for a horrible H/A thread with details.
The northeast is really well-marbled. You have urban areas and suburbs, but it doesn't take long to drop directly to rural. Maybe 30 minutes of driving from downtown Boston if you know where to go.
my family can't afford prime rib you joker
WAY TO RUB SALT INTO THE WOUND OF MY ABJECT POVERTY
Everyone always talks about LA traffic so much.
But after living in LA for ~15ish years I have sat in down town LA traffic like, less than 20 times probably?
It's kind of overblown.
southern new hampshire is ok
northern new hampshire is nice if you're the kinda person prone to sending anthrax to public officials
One part of my spergness is being really sensitive to textures. Food in particular. I can't stand eating fatty things.
this is like, The Room with a big budget
what a disaster
Phoenix is a total hellscape
You, obviously, have only cliches about it like most whom haven't spent a tremendous amount of time around here, But let me assure you there's reasons why I've chosen to come back and live in LA and pay more in taxes to do so, even with my wayfarer ways.
I've been a resident of five different states at one point or another, and try not to be biased by nostalgia, and don't even live near where I grew up, it's more of a work opportunity decision for me. Truthfully, bring an expat and living overseas would make the most fiscal sense for me, but there are just certain cultural perks I enjoy about LA. Different strokes for different blokes, and I can see the fact you choose to chime in to bash on my hometown while ignoring my PMs about our other little conflict as being telling of the objectivity of your valuation.
I had aimed it at Will because he and I have gotten along about a few other things without any blatant disrespect from one side or the other, and I value his opinion and feel a sense of respect when I converse with him. The same cant be said for you any longer for the above mentioned reason.
