    I don’t see it that way. The 30’s comment could easily just be a reference to the “32 years old” in the OP.

    Being new to the US or seeing it for the first time is a valid question, too, as again, the referenced phenominon is not new. It could’ve been posted in the 2010’s, the 2000’s, the 90’s, the 80’s, etc…

    Asking if someone has just noticed is only insulting depending on tone, and text does not convey tone. So any animosity is your own reading of the text. Why do you view simple questions as confrontational?

      Might wanna dial back that last question, just in case. 😅😶

      FWIW, I meant it in welcome, not patronizing dickery.

      Take a walk, fellow prol, breathe the air. It was levity, not whatever you’ve got there, triggering on default.

        Nah, too many sheltered idiots in the world. Blunt questions are necessary in far too many situations.
