@skinnylatte my wife's welcome to America moment was the dorm she was in serving her raw carrots and celery sticks and ranch. She didn't know what she was supposed to do with that and didn't like any single part of it. She thought ranch was a gross flavor. I loved any time I got to have that as a kid. (I might have said this story before to you, I don't remember but I'll make a mental note now to at least not repeat myself again).

My wife says her classmates think she brings very elaborate lunches, instead of like a raw carrot or a cold sandwich or a something. -
My wife says her classmates think she brings very elaborate lunches, instead of like a raw carrot or a cold sandwich or a something.@skinnylatte I never thought of raw veggies or cooked as being inherently more healthful than the other but evidently many other Americans think of salads specifically as health food. I usually think of raw veggies or cooked but chilled as more fun and refreshing. Like I made gazpacho last night and that's my favorite thing to have this time of the year. But that leads to another thing you don't relate to - having food that's contrasting temperature from the current weather.

I know it's corny to be pro-Fediverse on the #Fediverse but I don't care.@BeAware I'm an admin of a few small instances myself but I think small instances have their issues too. The ratio isn't necessarily better and sometimes the mods have more blind spots just by virtue of being a smaller number of people.
One issue though is if normies want to try Fediverse and ask me, I'll tell them all the good and the bad. But Meta is just going to tell them the good about Threads and they have to find out the bad themselves.

It drives me nuts seeing people complain that the moderation on threads is bad, and so is the community on Bluesky and not even *mention* Fediverse. Like people here are too militant about it and will berate you for joining just now or having even the mildest of criticisms. That's bad, but it's still maddening to see people act helpless when there is another solution they should at least consider.
