As someone who frequently talks to colleagues across timezones that are -9, -2, or +3.5 hours from me, where each of these have different dates for summer time, or don't have summer time, and meeting recurrences gets skewed etc, I don't see how asking about the current time off a location could be seen as "pretentious".

Yes, I do this frequently too, and what I meant to be "pretentious" was not having this problem, but writing a post about it and discussing it on a news site. This is like writing a news story about the lint in my pocket.
