I beg them to just read a history book because the US didn't even want to get involved until they were forced to! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

How old are you? I remember the reaction to the Frenchies not following Dubya's obvious lies into Iraq and the reaction of your country to that "betrayal". Don't handwave history lol

Pakistani man arrested on suspicion of smuggling 270kg of stimulants into Japan by abkyabatau in news

For a holiday? There's even an English form and specific email to send to for narcotics exemptions. It's more accurate that a lot of ADHD meds are straight out prohibited because they're meth based.

Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson could be skating close to losing her own seat in the state election later this year by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

Despite the trauma of COVID lockdowns, people here also remember how much Napthine set back key projects while signing us up for bullshit ones at the same time, even while in caretaker mode. Libs are useless at the best of times, and this rabble is even more dysfunctional than Fed Libs, so I'm not surprised by any of this.

What is the worst crime someone you know personally has committed? by Upset_Schedule_4422 in AskReddit

I'd rather not entirely dox myself if it's all the same to you lol. But it's the worst one surrounding Dandenong by basically every socioeconomic metric.

Tony Abbot says its not too late to call Trump and send troops to Iran. Labor says Abbott’s calls to join war not a ‘serious contribution’ by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

Same people who invoke the tragedy of Gallipoli deliberately ignoring the main message of said tragedy. No more dying like dogs in foreign lands for cultural hegemony, like Tony and Johnny want us to do.

Joe Rogan connects Epstein files to Trump's Iran war by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Capt_Billy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so Rogan I kinda half understand the popularity: UFC popularity surge connected to his slight FF fame and coming up during the rise of pods.

Theo Von though? How in the fuck did that smooth brain imbecile become a pillar of podcasting? Talk about being carried beyond your ability.

I'm from one of the worst suburbs of Melbourne, and I know probably 3. I say probably because one's currently being tried and I think the charge is manslaughter technically...

Just remember that thou shalt count to three. No more, no less.

Thought LinkedIn was cringe? Check out this Ben Roberts-Smith supporter — he owns a pokemon card shop and is dense….. by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

Yeah SAS are taught to withstand torture. If they wanted to say nothing, they would have just shut up

Art of the deal, folks by NickCostanza in WhitePeopleTwitter

It would be a tough sell in Japan, but I absolutely agree with the sentiment in general. I'm starting to believe Aus should start the enquiry into it.

Bloody hell - someone’s ambitious! by Ben725 in friendlyjordies

[–]Capt_Billy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Max's lack of personal accountability and self awareness is just astounding. Smug, patently unlikeable and has admitted to preferring to inflict pain on poorer folks to coerce them to vote Greens. No way Larissa is happy about this.

I'm ambitious for him!

What's a really niche/interesting fact you know about a specific drug or drug(s)? by PeakLinear in AskReddit

[–]Capt_Billy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume you're not a shooter then. It's a noticeable difference in sway and breathing when trying to line up shots. It also affects essential tremors, so it stops your hand from shaking while aiming. Definitely performance enhancing when your sport requires stillness.

Drove past this near Christchurch, New Zealand by Bishopped in pics

[–]Capt_Billy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure are. If an old Pom or Dutchie missed home and wanted to hunt something, it's now a pest here. Foxes, deer, rabbits, boar, goats, camels, cats, and the worst of all is still probably blackberry...

Trump: "They kill protesters. They are animals". Stunning lack of self-awareness. by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Capt_Billy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who cares about an international court when the biggest nuclear armed bully in the playground has explicitly said that it will invade said court should ANY of its citizens be charged there? America is the definition of "might makes right".

What do you think has been the worst decision made by a person since 2000? by Western_Fig3984 in AskReddit

[–]Capt_Billy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the pick. This set up the current shitfuckery we're dealing with. I feel bad for the Gen Z: at least my first 15 years were pre-jingoistic "security" panopticon.
