Modems? I didn’t think those were much in use any more?

Can you link the IMDb? ;)

Why not just GIP Gnu Image Program? Manipulation is honestly kind of a given.

Maybe people don’t say it around you. I’ve heard it, especially as a verb.

Is that a movie called Sex? Pretty sure the developers didn’t know about that either

Baby come back! (Do do do do do,) You can blame it all. On me!

Massive attack? Yeah I get that

I thought classics was their only album

Oof that hits me right in the middle age

Completely agree with the first part (Hey Ya is the only song of its kind, Andre3000 is a genius) but not the second part (you can’t stand their other songs?? What is wrong with you??)

Unfortunately GNU Image Manipulation Program, when shortened to its 4-letter acronym and common name, is also a slur against people with disabilities.

apt moo

Pirate Solitaire is very casual too

Online menus: dumb

Print PDF accessible online: great!

The way you write this makes me really curious about what cultural background you have that you do not like. But I can tell it is not a pleasant subject for you!

So much is contexts dependent.

If it is obvious that you are asking because someone is different, it can feel icky regardless of the asker’s intentions. For example, if the one brown person at the front desk always gets asked this by customers, but no one seems to ask their coworkers. No follow up questions necessary, just the fact of being singled out feels bad.

I think it is less about being from North America and more about being in the ingroup or outgroup depending on ancestry.

Compare this to the context of travelers hanging out at a youth hostel. Everyone is curious about where everyone else is from and it is fun to talk about it.

Huh til, it still is the source of his wealth, and the other 91% probably also goes mostly to rich assholes, however I’m sure the public will be holding the bag if Amazon ever goes down in valuation.

Thanks for the recc! Just looked it up; link for anyone interested:
