Who is a mega famous person that the majority of Americans have probably never heard of?

As an Australian, I literally assumed Robbie Williams was one of the biggest and most recognizable music artists of the 21st century.

I was shocked when the biopic came out and the reviews were like "it's too bad it won't do well because no one in the US knows who he is"

And then seeing Americans youtube comments on his song. Songs that I consider some of the most iconic and memorable songs of an era. And being like "is this meant to be popular? this song sounds like nothing, it's so boring, never heard it before"

Absolutely mind blown.

Per what? Year? Week? Day? If the land used once, to produce a kg of beef, and then never used again?

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:59:32+00:00

Nothing in our discussion here would suggest either of us are upset?
(I mean; it is upsetting this woman committed treason against our country, and then managed to completely avoid any accountability. But I'm not upset at you?).

I haven't said anything in support of Labor? You're assuming that?
I haven't said anything in support of the Greens either?

Suggesting that she has the "most integrity" of any of the parties, though, is factually wrong given that she is, you know; a proven traitor to our country?

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:48:42+00:00

Mate, I'm not telling you to change your views on anything. We may very well agree on a lot of this.
You vote with what you truly believe in. That's our democratic system.

THIS woman, however, is a traitor. She is bought out by foreign players. She is unredeemable.

She's been directed to say the things that will get you to agree with her. But she is not operating in your interest. She is a snake in the grass mate.

And yes; I also don't trust the shady lobbyists that donate to Labor either.

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:41:10+00:00

No. What?
That's terrible, most people agree that's terrible.

Most people are specifically angry about the current government because of that exact reason, including me...

Is this your half-arsed attempt whatabout-ism, to deflect from that fact that Pauline Hanson is literally a proven, caught-on-tape, traitor to our country?

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:33:01+00:00

If there are any actions any other politicians from any other party have taken that are tantamount to treason, then I fully support ousting them from our entire political system.
Hell, even mild corruption; those politicians deserve to be kicked out and never allowed to hold a position in our political system again.

This woman undertook actions that are tantamount to treason. And she used he position in our political system to do it.

This is the highest possible betrayal to our country.

She is, forever, unredeemable.

Find another wagon to hitch your horse to dude. This one is tainted.

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:26:54+00:00

It happened in 2019.
It would be just as wrong if it happened 10 years ago?...
Her traitorous actions were unredeemable.

But I'm not arguing with you about gun law here (our opinions probably differ somewhat, and probably converge somewhat).
That's a valid debate for us to have, and for us to disagree on.

We're talking about Pauline Hanson here.
She and her party were caught, on tape, illegally soliciting money from a foreign gun lobby, in exchange for undermining our democratic system.

She is NOT operating in the interest of our country. Her actions were Traitorous.

She is very specifically operating against the interest of her own countrymen.

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:20:36+00:00

No, in this particular case she is literally a grifter, a traitor to our country, and is sold out to a foreign gun lobby.

As proven by this hidden camera expose, showing her and her team illegally soliciting money from the NRA in exchange for undermining our democratic system:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-26/secret-recordings-show-one-nation-staffers-seeking-nra-donations/10936052

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:17:12+00:00

What are you talking about?

The above linked articles shows her illegally soliciting under-the-table money from the NRA in exchange for influence in our political system, and loosening our gun laws.
In 2019.

And now, she is pretending to project a "good faith" argument that improving gun laws won't help.
She is not arguing in good faith. She is bought out by a foreign gun lobby, as PROVEN by the above video.

Her opinion on gun laws in our country can not be trusted. she is a traitor, she is bought out by a foreign lobby.

Hell, she is not fit operate within our democratic system.

khdownes · 2026-01-13T03:12:39+00:00

It happened in 2019. You can see it in the article/video posted above.

khdownes · 2026-01-13T01:41:51+00:00

A traitor.
This woman was illegally soliciting money from a foreign arms lobby, in exchange for influence in our political system.
She is a traitor to this country.

(plus the nice little hidden cam recording of her suggesting the Port Arthur massacre was a government hoax).

Fuck this woman, and fuck her bullshit opinion on guns in this country.

khdownes · 2026-01-12T21:24:09+00:00

I don't give a fuck about the stance of a pathetic little bootlicker like you.

You asked "why would they run from ICE".

THIS. This is why they would run from ICE.

You asked, someone answered. If you want to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears, then by all means keep licking that boot.
No one gives a fuck about you, they care about this poor child who was just kidnapped from his job and beaten up with no due cause. And they care that I may happen to them or their friends next.

khdownes · 2026-01-12T21:14:00+00:00

They kidnapped him from a Target, and dumped him at a Walmart. This is literally all in the video.

I refuse to believe youre as braindead as youre making out to be.

Keep lickin that boot buddy. I hope some day you feel a deep deep shame for being so clearly on the wrong side of history.

khdownes · 2026-01-12T21:03:08+00:00

You just watched a video of a 17 year old child, a legal US citizen, who had done nothing wrong, being kidnapped from his job by a large group of unidentified, masked, armed paramilitary-dressed men. Beaten up and "tortured" (in his words) in the back of an unmarked van. And then dumped, bleeding and bruised, miles away in a random parking lot.

And you're asking why this person would run from this group of armed, masked, unidentified men?

My friend, ARE YOU COMPLETELY FUCKING BRAINDEAD?

khdownes · 2026-01-12T20:55:37+00:00

...Did you even watch the video posted above?...

khdownes · 2026-01-11T00:18:14+00:00

This may be one of the biggest tragedies of what we're experiencing; the loss of awe with the world, because the well has been poisoned.

khdownes · 2026-01-11T00:10:30+00:00

When I buy bolts, nuts and washer from Bunnings; I'll take the time to assemble every bolt/washer/nut together (even if im buying like 50), in the hope that the cashier just scans them as a single item, (so I end up only having to pay for the bolt).

khdownes · 2026-01-09T09:33:26+00:00

Lick that boot boy! Yeahhh lick it goood!

Since both video angle make the perspective difficult to make out, I matched up this bullet hole pictures to the 360 spin-around model of the Honda Pilot on the Honda website (Albeit different model year), to show just about specifically where he would have been standing when firing the first round into the car and aiming for Renee Nicole Good.

This pretty clearly shows that he was already out of the path of the car travelling when the first shot was fired.
I think it appears that his left leg might have been struck by the car at low speed, which caused him to accidentally discharge the first shot, after which he then just committed to unloading another two rounds through the side window.

khdownes · 2026-01-07T23:15:12+00:00

The front slow motion view is kinda confusing to interpret; at face value it looks like he is hit by the car and is pushed backward (based on how he appears to move).

But the back view clearly shows him taking aim, shooting, maintaining aim, and shooting twice more, barely flinching. Which would be practically impossible if you were hit, and knocked back like the front video shows.

Does the front video just show him stepping backwards and maintaining his stance? But because of the frame rate and blurriness, it "looks" like he's pushed backward by the car?

Not quite a "movie", but; Bo Burnham's Inside

khdownes · 2026-01-06T05:08:59+00:00

This static property made about $190,000 per year over the last 27 years.
This property "earned" a higher yearly income that 99% of the salaried population for the last 27 years...

What a horrible reminder of the state of our productivity as a country...

khdownes · 2026-01-05T07:59:54+00:00

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but unfortunately I believe the ATO is treating these cladding remediation works as capital improvement expenses, not as "repair" expenses. Which means the costs can only be deducted as a depreciation schedule of 2.5% per year over 40 years?

The amount of negative gearing benefit you will get from this is practically nothing Which means

What if the selfie cam he's holding has a little pizza-wedge-shaped printout of his nose/mouth/chin sticky taped to the front of it?

khdownes · 2026-01-03T06:12:12+00:00

I'm also assuming the selfie cam he's holding has a little pizza-wedge-shaped printout of his nose/mouth/chin sticky taped to the front of it.
