Posts about Toronto Housing almost exclusively, because I haven't figured out how to present other aspects of my life publicly.

In case anyone else is curious, they do the "two stair doors ~2m apart" approach.

Despite my best efforts, I have not found this applies to the French Internet + my interests.

The exceptions are musical:
- Les Trois Accords
- Damien Robitaille
- Bernard Adamus
- Coeur de Pirate
Dami Lee comic where she visits her past self. She encourages her past self to keep learning Korean because of the Internet: "You get two versions of it if you're bilingual."

Young girl holding book: "Ugh, no! That's not what the book is about! It's a love story between Edmund and Zoe!" Family stares blankly at her around kitchen table. Brother: "That's definitely stupid." Baseball team celebrating: "See, Jimmy! How about that?! Holy shit! We really did it." Jimmy: "We're still gonna die though." Woman: "You're afraid of being like everyone else?" Man: "It's the most boring and humiliating thing I can imagine."

Old Japanese man speaks to young boy: "Your own troubles are one thing, but it's much harder when it's out of your hands." Boy: "That's true." Old man: "But you see, Shigeru, there's always a little bud of happiness in times of despair." Boy: "You think so?" Old man: "You'll learn this. Figuring out now what matters will help you find happiness later in life. Most people spend their days in vain, without hope, day after day." Frowning woman touches her hair. Text around her: My mother's sighs. The signies' griping and grumbling. From the cleaning woman to the salesgirls, all anyone talked about was the good old days. Living in the past was pathetic. I didn't have patience for their complaints anymore. Teen girl on bench: "Rhiannon, I love you." Teen girl walking away: "And I love you. That isn't the question. Or the answer."

Robin, from Batman and Robin, tucks a middle-aged woman into bed while saying "Life has meaning." A man barely looking up from his phone "She was at therapy." A woman shocked, then embarrassed "Uh yeah. Haha."

Bald smoking man with mustache says "You decided you were wise and open-minded, and I was just a reckless kid who, with any luck, might someday stumble upon the truth. Let's just say I played a part you wanted me to. And that's all you saw. Aunt Marjorie had intended to join the National Trust, but had accidentally joined the National Front instead. It was six months before she started to wonder why there was little talk of stately homes and a good deal more about white genocide. How quickly, then, my annoyance at the proximity of other people turns into tenderness.

Comic panels I felt were worth saving
Two women laying on the ground beside each other. Text box: "I wanted all of each person that I knew, so intensely that I feared I might be asking too much of my friendships, and if that meant they would tire of me. Woman realizing she loves her girlfriend so much that she's moved to tears. Friend comments "she's in anguish" Girl drawn in a starry awe-inspiring context says "so fucking dumb"

For years I've seen posts bemoaning Toronto's lack of ambition, its meagre cultural impact. But what if we become world-famous at self-hatred? Just really lean in to the resentment for all the choices we've made and our inability to get better.
Google search for "what city hates itself the most" where Google replies in its AI Overview that "There isn't much info about a city that hates itself the most, but here's some related information about cities and racism:"
