What would I even be writing about without publicly exposing my personal life intimate details (don't want to) or that hasn't been said ad nauseam by better and more known writers at this point? What's a sensible sex and dating column that doesn't simply reduce into the usual "be empathetic, respect other's space and boundaries, open dialog, know yourself, seek therapy, etc"?

I think It's a matter of time. Eventually the small time brewers and popular cheap brands come in to chase any margin gaps.

It has been great! First holiday season away from my family as a newly minted expat, but I’m lucky to have four/five other couples from my home country going through pretty much the same thing, so we’ve been each others support . Me and my partner are positively surprised at how well things have been working (mostly)!

So the very basic solution to the mystery is that winter foods are those that are usually harvested to be eaten during winter :-|

Pakora are fried veggies, samosa is pastry, paneer is cheese, naan is bread. You can eat any of those with rice and sauce, but you can also have them without. Indian food has a lot of variation on flavours, texture, visuals, as expected from any cuisine with such a rich history.

Can you recommend something from Indian culture that isn’t what I have described above?

No because "overkill on spices, sauce and rice" is subjective. If "it’s always the same flavor" then either 1) you're keep ordering the same stuff 2) the restaurants you've been to do lowest cost easy menus 3) it's not the same flavor but it looks like so to you because you're not used to it.

Next time ask the server for "solid food, no liquids" instead.

Sometimes in the effort of making a topic palatable, it's stripped of its sprit completely.

If this was published by The Sun or something I'd understand as a positive - at least it's an article not bent on demonization and at least advances a nuanced and humanized view -, but from the Walrus... this level of two-sidedness is probably in the lower end of what the readership expects already?

Still, I thought it was insightful. I still don't read as many feature-length trans testimonial/articles like this as I probably should.

Show up and vote non-Poilievre, people. Please.

I implore you. Turnout is the lowest effort good thing you can do to help prevent a cycle of conservatism from wrecking the littlest good things there are to celebrate. It's too tragic to observe this with ABC-driven municipalities right now, having that on federal level too will be too much.

Any unhinged literate person can, you just have to get a few technical questions right; then you can go on to exercise the opposite of what you answered to get that grade

New Kurtzgesagt video, a new opportunity to improve my filter bubble by blocking anyone who starts parroting factoids about their ties with the Gates Foundation 🤭 great day

Unfortunately a lot of office towers are unsuitable to be converted into housing.

How much is "a lot"? I've seen several retrofit projects that seemed incredibly challenging take off and be successful, so I don't really know if there are really that many buildings downtown that would be terminally unsuitable. Specially given the somewhat uninspired and homogenous trend of glass towers, and the wild income potential of rentals in downtown.
