Yeah this is just racist dude. Reconsider your perspective.

Hi! PROBLEM SOLVED. /s
But seriously, you can find a community with similar interests. There are lots of lonely people out here.. help solve each-others problem.
Discord gets a lot of shit, probably rightfully so, but it's genuinely helped me find a lot of casual connections that not just distracted me, but helped me learn more about something I like, or sometimes even somthing about myself.
Ahh there you go, maybe hitchhiking culture was different down here. Although I don't think I've ever seen someone attempting to hitch-hike in my life tbh. Just not something people do anymore I guess. (Maybe it happens in more rural areas).
You're not wrong about your culture spreading though. Halloween wasn't even considered a thing when I was growing up. Now... depending on where you live you get kids attempting it. But it's still a minority. Many grumpy home-owners saying "this isn't America!" still exist.
'Dag' is certainly some aussie slang. Although I've never heard it used like that, I spose that might be its origin (sheep shearers are kind of a historical working class icon here). These days it's probably be more synonymous with "dork", or wearing some unfashionable clothing.
Australian here. Sorry that's not a thing. Maybe if you gestured the thumbs up in a particular way? (Usually moving your whole arm up and of towards your shoulder? Honestly hard to explain in text). But that's kind of a whole new gesture, not a thumbs up.
Don't be afraid of doing the thumbs up here, we all do it and know what it means.
Please dont source LLM. You can do better than this.
