Ouch!? You have very curious reading comprehension skills, it appears. I’m not shitting on Americans, i’m shitting on the relatively weak and ineffective governments at the local state of federal level, which tend to only serve the interests of folks with large amounts of money. I have a relatively sensitive stomach and I have been sick from all kinds of restaurants across the US.
You see, when you pay people minimum wage or less so in the case of tipped workers, their motivation to clean up and provide a great sanitary environment for everything is arguably lessened, don’t you think? Further, our education system, being largely designed by large corporate interests aims to produce ignorant workers, people addicted to fast food, sugar and its derivatives. People who think food should be as cheap and fast as possible, as convenient as possible, and not worthy of sitting down and spending time, contemplating cooking it, growing it, eating with family, et cetera.
I remember walking around in Zwolle, Netherlands. I remember being embarrassed because I was the only one walking around while eating something. Everyone else sits down to eat. I never saw anyone eating in their car. Or eating while driving. I’m just saying this is illustrative of the difference between the US’s fucked up food culture and the rest of the world’s more mature and established food culture.
Have you ever been to Japan? Have you ever been to Europe? Have you ever been to South America? I have and I can tell you, on average, they truly respect food. Just walk through the center aisles of any American supermarket and tell me if those products suggest a culture which honors and values food? It’s my humble opinion that no, not really.
If I’m full of shit and I’m doing something wrong, I am all ears and willing to do better, I promise you. You’re gonna have to be real and not just throw daggers like that.

Si lo sé, soy uno de esos. Pero igual, si el gobierno no inspecciona las operaciones de los restaurantes, igual te da diarrea. Las veces que he ido a Europa he regresado en mejor condición de estómago.

I assume it’s because the life in Europe is better so people don’t need to escape their reality as much. You can go out and see a cool castle or ride a train or go check out a new country. And then you can get really, really, really good food that won’t give you diarrhea like the food here in the US.

I use jellyfin for music. Some of the third party apps are nice. I can even stream it to Jellyfin app on Android Audio from my server while I’m driving, which is crazy to me.

King Putin is happily destroying the us and its institutions. Rfk was put there to destroy the US dominance, trust, and effectiveness on health. Most in the U.S. and the world, respect the FDA, the NIH, etc. to the extent that many defer to American regulations as the principal guide for other countries’ regulations.
Institutions have power. When the president tries to do something stupid, people from the institution can resist. And since the general public trust institutions, that gives the institution power to create problems for the administration. By ruining the institution, you break that power and therefore break their ability to resist you. This is a very important part of fascist strategy. They’re doing it to the press. They’re doing it to research and development, to NASA. They’re doing it to all environmental agencies. Regulatory bodies, etc.

My approach would be to chip away any of the remaining substrate that might be loose, scrape it, pick it off, whatever. The goal would be to leave very solid material exposed.
I don’t know the equivalent in Europe where you are, but in the US we have Tapcon screws. They come with a masonry drill bit that you would use to hammer-drill several holes along the exposed material. Then screw in the screws until the head of the screws protrudes an appropriate amount to leave room for whatever is needed above the screw head.
These screws now act as a little rebars to support what you build on top. Looks to me like you might need concrete adhesive, little concrete nub mushed around the screw heads, thinset, then tile, then grout.
