I've been to so many countries!

I mean there are way less interesting things to make your whole personality.

[afc1886vcc@reddthat.com]

I've got the opposite problem. I've never travelled, so I feel like I can only ever talk about really mundane things.

[unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de]

No matter where you live, there are guaranteed to be non mundane things going on. You just dont see or interact with them.

Go Bills!

[kite@sh.itjust.works]

Oh god. This caught me completely off guard and I just laughed so much. Grew up in western NY, understand perfectly!

[kautau@lemmy.world]

lol yeah I’m sure I could replace it with a bunch of teams, but growing up in New England I’ve never found more of a “my personality is my football team” than bills fans

[kite@sh.itjust.works]

It wasn't this bad back when I was growing up in the 80's-90's. We were definitely fans, though the Superbowl years gave a lot of us football PTSD. I always enjoyed the Bills because so many of the players then were very small town types. It was normal to see even the big name players like Jim Kelly playing pool in one of the small, rural communities outside the city. (Sabers, too!). I moved away in 2004, so I don't know how much of that community feeling is still there, but something definitely changed. Fans are kind of embarrassing now.

Funny aside:. When Jim Kelly retired as quarterback, he and some others went to play pool at a place in one of those little towns. A friend of mine found out they were there and phoned me up all excited because she was going to go and try to recruit him for her Amway downline, "because now that he's retired, hell need a new source of income!". She wanted me to go with her. Haha hellll no girl, you go shill your MLM by yourself! The second-hand embarrassment was awful.

Live in the midwest, can't confirm.

No matter where you go, there you are.

I travelled a lot but have shit memory so I can't recount much

[dadifer@lemmy.world]

That's why I take pictures.

[anomnom@sh.itjust.works]

Got my wife a hat with a buffalo it that is not a Bills hat, not even close if you bother to actually look at it.

When we were in NY last summer she was constantly being asked about football, so much she still hesitates to wear it out now, 2+ states away.

[turkalino@lemmy.yachts]

There are lots of people who travel but still only have mundane things to say because all they did was eat food and not venture outside of the TripAdvisor Top 10 Things To Do in X City

[pipe01@programming.dev]

Literally me, if it was up to my memory it would seem like I've never left my hometown

[flocklesscrow@lemm.ee]

Next time get her a hat featuring a bunch of unpaid invoices

[timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works]

And write a recap as youre going or right after you get back. You'll recall it all reading it years later better.

[jackcooper@lemmy.world]

They went, alright

My problem is a different opposite. I grew up abroad but haven't really traveled since. It wasn't my choice and it's got fuckall to do with anything, so I loathe talking about it.

And every time I meet someone it's like "Hey, where're you coming from? There's something in your accent I can't place."
