It's a shame they didn't go with some less mainstream acts. I never actually saw the Twilight movies, and yeah their soundtracks did have big names, but they actively invited less-mainstream artists to submit bids.

I know actual movie score are a different department, but M83 killed it the otherwise blah Tom Cruise…

For double points, replace the soundtrack with a Bavarian folk song and admire the pre-1938 vintage of these wonderful dancing aryans.

If I ever have children I think I will steal your explanation.

Well I hope everyone has really great insurance.

A few things.

1. Trolling people as a "Canadian" is rude to everyone, and given that no single Canadian speaks for "Canadians" your trolling on supposedly our behalf isn't appreciated.

2. As much as Canada and the United States are incredibly similar culturally, if you run the numbers, their gun ratio and our gun ratio…

"It's a British thing..."

Why is she dressed like a Bavarian? I thought she was the imported one?

All three poses seem out place... like old-world European clients who have just flown in from their Swiss factory for an awkward meeting.

Why don't you just join up and leave the rest of us the country out of it?

Some people have careers they want to get started without being yelled at by a 22 year old lieutenant who literally has the power of life and death over them. Also, the quality of the people you'll be serving with will be immensely higher if…

People in North America argue that we're too culturally and regionally divided, and lack a civic spirit: there's nostalgia for the draft because of the idea is that it could be a unifying national project.

This of course ignores all of the economic, moral, and practical reasons why the draft is a terrible idea, but as…

Honestly I have no idea who Grace Kelly is.

I think levels of nationalism have shifted since those days: in the past Canada was compelled to join conflicts because of the Commonwealth, and it had the draft. Neither of those policies would fly today, and I think people are significantly more suspicious of government. This I think is actually a good thing.

If…

I will share with you a foreign internet meme. So Germany is having elections, and Angela Merkel's party just put a giant billboard up in Berlin of her hands (which seem to be always in that pose- it's kinda her thing). Beside is the slogan: "Germany's future in good hands." Needless to say the internet had fun.

I like that it was an offence to die in the parliament. Ahahaha!

To be fair, "hilariously awkward" and "everyone laughs at them" describes basically all engineering student associations....

To be fair- it is pretty hard to be a white bear these days, since they're basically all drowning as the Canadian arctic melts.

I wonder if it depends on the department you're studying in? (I'm just hypothesizing).

In political science, lots of crazy opinions, offensive politics, and just like nutters: I met some actual fascists who were proud to be white people and dressed up as "islamic terrorists" and nazis for halloween. People actually…

I guess it's like a cultural thing in the South? I went to school in Ontario (Canada), and I remember we had one girl at my part-time job who was in a sorority. When she told us she had to preface it with "but like not a crazy sorority."

When I went to an arts college in Manhattan later, I remember meeting a student…
