It's like... whenever I'm in a mixed-culture space, I feel like I'm starting every other sentence with "in my language...", "over here...", "aS A FiNnIsH PeRsOn". Like, yeah, it's me being Fucking Petty b/c I'm sick of US-centrism and working through Some Bullshit I went through on a few American servers while in a vulnerable state, but I do really feel kind of bad for all the other Europeans and non-Americans who have to put up with me.
(It also occurred to me that no fucking wonder my socially awkward arse couldn't really parse the kind of culture I'd been socialised into as a teenager b/c that's honestly just what Americans are like.)
