Nah - good for spitting.

Seeds in kiwis, though. They get between your teeth.

Toilets that are not Western style; we call them jongkok toilets here.
Typical expat complaint: "I moved here, and it's not like home!" Well, feel free to move back home, then.

You sound like my family's neighbours. Some of my family still lives in the countryside, with cows and smells and noises and what have you. Always been like that, always will. And then some Western - in their case, west Hollandic - ex-civil-servant moves in, and complains about the noise/smell/bad toilets.

Eff off back to where you pansies came from.

I don't know just a suggestion but maybe you should take it easy on the Language and name calling.

Indonesians vastly prefer Western-style toilets and jongkok style are pretty rare now. Even when I first came here, the sqat toilets probably only made up about 20% of all toilets. The biggest trauma for me was as a kid travelling in France in the 1970s where you couldn't drink tap water either!

Beech hedge leaves which fall in the spring rather than the autumn.

Okay, for a moment there I thought I had wandered into the "white people's problems" thread.

Silly, sneery virtue signalling.

Maybe you should start several threads inviting people to comment on the “[relative to white people] tiny blemishes of [ insert your favourite marginalised group]”

In these threads you will be able to “wander in” without fear of your faux disdain being trigged and catapulting you into dumping scorn in thread by someone you don’t like and disguising it as a cringy virtual signalling.
