Facebook post from Rick Steves FB group: In Rome, and have had several pasta dishes and other foods at places highly rated by locals, but so far 100% tastes terrible so far. I mean to the point I can’t take more than a few bites, especially anything with a tomato based sauce like a pasta. Even had pizza…and it has an underlying disgusting taste that I can’t put my finger on, other than if pork or beef, is even more disgusting. My wife says the same. I get that same taste with haggis. What could it t be? It is revolting enough to make me not want to try more dishes. The meats especially taste disgusting, especially pork based. .

Why does “roommate culture” feel so much stronger in NYC compared to other U.S. cities? I’ve noticed that in NYC, having roommates well into your late 20s, 30s, and even 40s seems way more common than in other U.S. cities. In a lot of other places, people usually transition into living alone or with a partner much earlier. I think up to your 20's is fine honesty, but once you hit your 30's as a fully grown man, I'd figure it'd be probably a good idea to have your own place by then. Who would want to be living like they are in college still Is this just a perception thing or is there something about NYC that makes “roommate culture” more normalized here?

Not That Zuckerberg: Atty Sues Meta Over FB Page Takedown By Rachel Rippetoe | 2025-09-05 16:46:13 -0400 · "No, Mark S. Zuckerberg did not invent Facebook," reads a bio on the law firm website of an Indianapolis bankruptcy attorney who, unfortunately for him, shares a name with Meta Platforms Inc.'s CEO.

Zuckerberg, claiming Meta keeps disabling his firm's commercial Facebook page while accusing him of "impersonating a celebrity."
