If you could press a button that would give you a great deal of money, but it would cause someone you don’t know in a distant part of the world to die, then you would have a good model for how our current economy works.

I am a very relaxed person, I am very confident, and I am also really smart and good looking. I also think I dress really well and have excellent taste in trends and people. I mean just listening to me, you must begin to understand the level of confidence I have and obviously that’s going to be infused deeply into the movie that I am going to make; this level of confidence that I keep talking about. I know what I like, and I know what I think is dumb and what’s good in a movie.

Happy birthday, Taika Waititi! (August 16th, 1975)

i’m watching a british youtuber’s birthday stream and an aussie viewer sent in a comment saying “why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all? because he had no say in it, no say in it at all” which was received with confused existential horror, and this is how i just discovered that australian happy birthday songs are not universal

oops

do you not sing this in other countries?!?!??

NO we do not sing a lament for someone’s personal beauty wishing they’d never been born. That is some weird Greek tragedy shit.

@erinkyan IS THIS REAL

this is absolutely real.

I haven’t heard it as much this past decade or so, I think it might be dying out a bit?  maybe this post will resurrect it. alternatively it might just be less common in melbourne than it was in nsw haha. 

Yeah I reckon it’s dying out. I haven’t heard it in years. Alternatively it may be a thing that is more commonly heard at the birthday celebrations of teens and young adults … ?
