me everytime I speak to someone on the internet who's not from france https://octodon.social/media/LpixTqautO5OQwRNWho
@codl usually I'm constantly saying "yeah in France we do/don't have that, we do this" and stuff
@Siphonay does St. Pierre et Miquelon count
@exo technically yeah I guess
@Siphonay cool, haven't been there either yet
@exo haha okay
@Siphonay @luluberlu is lying, he's only been in Paris!
@Siphonay drôle parce que trop vrai... 😂
@Siphonay nice more like Nice, the city in france
@Siphonay you're meant to say (in your broadest American accent) "Oh, it's a beautiful country. You should really come and visit some time"
Then waste the next 10 minute making plans to meet up that neither of you will have any intention of keeping.
@Siphonay I should have visited Paris in 2011, but my debit card refused to let me use online booking for trains, planes, or hotels and I had to cancel my Paris, Amsterdam, and TSO trip. The card was perfectly happy withdrawing money at ATMs and spending it in shops wherever I went, though. It just didn’t like online booking.
@Siphonay this is the absolute height of refined discussion.
@Siphonay I've been to France.
We ran out of money trying to get to Paris, and had to take back-roads because the main highway was a toll road.
(This was before cellphones or GPSs.)
When we got there, I bought lots of Asterix, which made it worthwhile.
@Siphonay I just think it’s really funny any time you’re like “I’m going to such-and-such place in France” to just go “wow... a trip to France... fancy...” “wow a weekend in France...”
@Siphonay I imagine the next line of that conversation was "What's it like?"
@Siphonay it's either this or "oh i learned french in high school but i don't remember any of it lol"
