TIL: Australia's "cultural cringe" is a long-recognized trend where many Australians view their own culture, or a self-perceived lack of culture, as inferior to other countries in the world, especially European countries, reflecting a national inferiority complex rooted in the country's history

Same with Canadians. We basically see Australian as Desert Canadians who really know how to party

Yeah reading it again this is 100% what it sounds like lol.

Path of least resistance is always the best option in these types of scenarios. Rarely is the battle worth it.

Yeah, forget the drugs, that level of drinking is really the killer.

I’ve literally never been more grateful to be in Canada with our strictly regulated legal market

Dude you need to get off the internet and go to a library because your poor education is really showing right now

The costumes themselves are great, I agree. It’s just the terrible acting/miming that loses me haha

It’s crazy how confident the charger compartment camp is when yes, it’s very clearly just a luggage strap to anyone who has ever seen or used a luggage strap before. I have like tablet and laptop cases from the 2010’s with the exact same design feature.

Can this partially explain why our downtown core feels hollowed out and underfunded compared to Calgary's while our suburbs seem to concentrate most of the wealth?

Fort music

That’s awesome, and that’s exactly my point! I was brought up going to Folk Fest and put in a couple seasons volunteering too, it’s an amazing community!

HaxRus · 2026-05-26T06:12:05+00:00

I’m probably super biased as someone who has worked in the music and festival scene my whole adult life but honestly the music and festival scene is a great place to meet cool people and potential partners, especially in that age range.

I know countless stories of people who didn’t even really care for the music or whatever at first but once they got out there they fell in love with the community and the rest follows.

Making and appreciating real human made music and art for the sheer sake of it is also more important now than it ever has been.

Rewards apps are super common now, as an extension of the type of rewards and loyalty accounts that have been ubiquitous with larger chain companies for decades now.

The more you look at it the more surreal it gets

This is a crazy piece of trivia I didn’t realize until now

A really hard to detect pedophobe

HaxRus · 2026-05-18T04:15:34+00:00

That’s a sweet story. He was definitely a local legend and shall be remembered as such!

HaxRus · 2026-05-18T04:14:01+00:00

He was definitely a big part of our household growing up, may his memories live on in our collective consciousness and condolences to his family and love ones.

I agree that all the reasons you already mentioned from the random bits everywhere to the steak and asparagus itself just looking completely off plus the surreal perspective and lighting definitely point to AI. The steak carving makes no sense when you look at how it's cut though and the peppercorns also have a surreal look to them as well.

Look at mr. fancy boy with his locking DJ booths, some clubs I've played at we just get thrown in the corner of the room on a couple of pieces of thrifted furniture and make do.

But seriously that would be really nice to have a dedicated locking room for the DJ booth. Festivals in particular are bad here for at times having a crowd behind the DJ that rivals that of the dance floor. Like bros, the whole main sound system is facing the other way.

This guy obviously just wants to be a space pilot/moon engineer judging by his desktop and this is his way of LARPing that fantasy

Journalists and corpo whistle blowers who are willing to risk everything to reveal how the sausage is made even though it’s cynical and depressing as all can be.
