A lot of interesting opinions on avocados here! I had no idea that most people salt them, but I certainly don’t. Someone commented that they’re like carrots, but I don’t find them to be anything remotely like carrots. And some people said they’re not good on their own, but IMO they’re delicious on their own.

I slice them up and eat them with crackers instead of cheese, and with tortilla chips. I love them on top of bagels with cheese. I dice them and mix them into salads for creamy fatty goodness, and sometimes I’ll just cut one in half and eat it with a spoon. If I’m eating curry then I’ll slice one up and put it on the side. I eat at least one avocado every day, but they’re cheap where I live in the US ($3-4 for 6 large ones).

Pro-tip: they do spoil quickly at room temperature, so once they reach peak ripeness you can put them in the fridge and they’ll be good for 5-6 days.

I bought a new Subaru two years ago and love it. But only days later they started sending me offers to trade in my new car for a brand new Subaru! They email two offers every week and I haven’t unsubscribed because it’s amusing to see the value of my car go down and occasionally up (its value increased in December before dropping again). Right now they’re valuing my car, purchased for $28k, at $17k after 24 months of ownership.

There are tons of issues with healthcare in the US, but quality of care isn’t one of them. Go to any major hospital in the US and you’ll receive world-class treatment, you’ll just most likely spend years paying it off.
