      He wears what’s comfortable, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Adam Sandler is famous for shooting movies in exotic/fun locations so that it doubles as a vacation for him and the actors/crew. He’s beloved in the industry, and widely regarded as a good, friendly, loyal, down to earth person. Why on earth should someone like that be excluded from an awards show?

    First of all, Adan Sandler is an American saint so shut up.

    Secondly, he looks comfortable as hell so what’s the problem.

    As someone living in a very touristic place, it’s really hard to distinguish Americans from wealthier Brits. You pretty much have to hear them speak. Poorer Brits definitely stand out and I’m guessing so would poorer Americans but we don’t get a lot of poor Americans (for obvious reasons). It’s easy to spot Scandinavians and as I’m from eastern Europe I can easily pick up Poles and tell them apart from Russians and Ukrainians. Spanish and Italians are also easy to recognize and distinguish. I’m not a waiter so I don’t know which ones are the worst customers.

    I will never forget that group of tourists that, many many years ago, came to see the Pope in Germany and, while waiting for the underground, for reasons that elude me, started chanting: “USA! USA! USA!” 😐

      911 was a really stressful time for the US. It left some… marks on the psyche. Mix that with a general lack of education and you end up with that. Just count yourself lucky you don’t have to live here.

        I mean, I get that it’s utter shit right now and has been for some years and I don’t envy anyone who can’t get out. But this wasn’t yesterday. And you don’t see other nationalities going around being very loudly nationalistic and frankly antagonistic like that after they had some national tragedy.

          We’re supposed to excuse Americans for what they endured in 9/11 but fuck if we show any signs of empathy with Iraqis that lost half a million people because George W Bush threw a tantrum.

      I worked with a doctor whose in-laws were Saudi royalty. He didn’t need to work at all he was so wealthy.

      I heard about him doing an incredibly greedy thing that blew my mind one day; he showed up at a dinner that a drug company was hosting for another adjacent program he had nothing to do with and did not practice in at all. He didn’t even tell them he was coming, they had to find him a seat, and then he sat down, ordered not one but TWO whole lobsters, and when they came he asked for them to be wrapped to go, and he left. Even acknowledging drug companies have large budgets for these kinds of things, to come to an event that has nothing to do with you and do that is insanely rude when you don’t want for a thing in the world.

      I know someone else who is very wealthy, and he’s pretty generous and passionate about creating things, he’s far from perfect, but truly wants to make good things and runs a business that gives him zero profit, so the contrast was pretty stark. The doctor also stiffed his professional college for a very large membership bill.

        A drug company throwing a fancy dinner in order to influence doctors to ignore the needs of their patients is so unbelievably evil that fucking with them and stealing from them is always based and worthy of praise. Being rude to them is morally correct, since the act they were committing was already more rude to begin with.

      grew up in a major European city with lots of tourism. Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are. while Americans are loud and entitled. Germans and English tourists were annoying but only came to get drunk on the beach. Israeli tourists also tend to be entitled and annoying.

      other groups were rare so not much to talk about them

        I live in Prague and work every day in the center.

        By far the worst are the Brits who get fall down drunk and try to start fights. Americans are only annoying in that they talk loudly and are often kind of dumb. But they are generally polite. They don’t hold a candle to the Brits. The rest are generally mild enough as to not be noticeable unless they are in a big group blocking the sidewalk which can be any nationality.

        Depends. Those big tourist groups are definitely an issue when the streets are already cramped without tourists and you have places to be.

          From Barcelona. they only shop up on line a handful of corners, seems like they get off the bus on the Sagrada Familia or other simpler spots, take their picture and go back to the bus. I didn’t specify which eat Asians, because never gotten too close and no one complains about them.

          it’s because they usually stuck to their buses. no idea if they were Japanese or Chinese, never saw them anywhere beyond talking pictures in some spots.

          Probably just a regional thing.

          In the US it means East Asian, in the UK it means Southeast Asians.

          I guess most places default to the US definition unless they have a big population like the UK due to the US exporting their language through media.
