That does actually tell you where because only usaians are arrogant enough to think that would be meaningful.

Nobody else on the planet is like this and so it does tell you it’s the USA. This ticks me off because it deserves to be met with mockery.

If you don’t know where the original York with any precision idk why you would think I’d know much about the sequel.

    Nah can’t agree. Usually it’s just small talk, to explain in a way that might be helpful (given you have expressed being autistic and having difficulty with at least some elements of communication. Hope that’s not presumptuous) stuff like “where are you from?” is usually less a genuine inquiry about details and more a about performing rituals that indicate a desire to be friendly. It’s like smiling with words.
