You bastards couldn't even learn from having 1 presidential term of Trump (the one that ended in an attempted coup). You don't learn from your daily mass-shootings. You didn't learn from the Second World War. At this point, it's pretty clear that you are incapable of learning from history, or the posititve examples of other people.
"or the posititve [sic] examples of other people." Weird way to end your random shit-talking comment on an otherwise positive post of people having fun. Fucking hypocrite.
I'm just sick to death of watching America drag the world backwards. I didn't bring America into this, the title did. The video is a cool, fun event. But the title just pissed me off. It'd be really great if I could just enjoy nice things, but I can't because America elected a fucking Nazi TWICE, and now we've got anti-immigration marches, and Charlie Kirk vigils in Adelaide for fuck's sake! My "positive examples" were things like addressing gun violence, and voting against Nazis.
She's not wrong you guys are the closest global approximation to we Americans in terms of personality. Aka you're insane cunts, lot of confidence, can't help but respect your insanity
We’re both young nations of British colonies, so I can’t deny some similarities, but we don’t want to be anything like the US “personality.” There’s a reason US backpackers wear Canadian flags is Aus 😉
I totally see how it could be taken as an insult but I promise you I did not mean it that way :) if it's any consolation I'm from Minnesota and it's pretty much collectively agreed we're the nicest people, ask the Canadians themselves, they'll vouch
I’m sure you didn’t mean it as an insult! But we’ll pass on the association, thanks. You guys seem to earnestly believe America is the focal point of the world and everything is ranked by proxy— the arrogance is insane, and really doesn’t pass the pub test in Aus. In Australian public policy one of the most effective arguments is “don’t do XYZ …or we’ll end up like America.” You’re the warning case not the exemplar!
My guess is she moved from Sweden to be as far away as possible from Finland. We got some absolute weirdest sports and activities here, giving Aussies a run for their money.

The only thing I enjoyed about that Saints Row reboot was the missions that were like this.

Americans, do you know why they can do this? Because of free healthcare.

Australia. Home of the Henley-on-Todd Regatta. The only boatrace in the world that gets called off due to the presence of water.

So, was this music video from an Australian band heavily inspired by the Box Wars? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL_EXAyGCkw

This actually explains that old statistic of why cardboard related deaths are so high in Australia!

Please tell me this takes place in Box Hill, Victoria. On Boxing day. I used to work with a person whose surname was Box.

No, but it IS held in melbourne, where box hill is.

I think explaining that this is how cardboard gets recycled would get a lot more people enthusiastic about it.

I live that they are going all in on that.

That looks like fun!

That one second clip that was played backwards of the guy jumping up backwards is hilarious

So many paper cuts. Cardboard can have really sharp edges.
Chilichunks
Cardboard cuts suck worse than paper cuts, just awful.

My last 5 bleeding cuts have been from cardboard packages, i work daily with knives and saws and it's all cardboard that gets me.

Complete with the piece of toast being yeeted out of the toaster.

The best way to explain yeet versus yoink is "a toaster yeets the bread but you yoink the bread"

Is it just me or do smoke bombs and cardboard seem like a bad mixture?

These are all great fun and everyone involved is having a blast, but I lost it at the toaster, complete with a toast that popped out

Buddy if you ever fought in the war you know the terrifying sound of a cardboard toaster means DIVE FOR COVER

My wife moved here from the very sensible Sweden, and at least once a week I hear her mutter to herself: “this country is ridiculous…”
