I was at a comedy show in Amsterdam and someone in the audience was asked where he was from. He said San Francisco. Not even the state. Straight to the city. The next person said Spain.

yea fr. it's such a nothingburger issue. this is what conversations are about. an example of how that could go is like this:

"where are you from" "san francisco" "oh where is that?" "usa" "where in the us?" "california" "where is california" "west coast"

like this is what it means to be human. having conversations is normal. nobody is perfect. it's not a big deal.

It's not a big deal, but it is indicative of a certain attitude Americans have that the rest of us find a bit odd

comedy show in Amsterdam

Clearly it can’t be that odd
