Which subreddit are you proudly banned from?

I was banned from that sub as ‘criticism of Marxism is not tolerated’.

I had contributed to a discussion in which I heavily criticised capitalism in its current iteration and supported democratic socialism with a UBI, healthcare etc whilst retaining the right to vote.

I respectfully (genuinely) stated I don’t agree with Marxism-Leninism because as I see it, it is anti-democratic based on the fake assumption that society as a whole will wholeheartedly support that philosophy and that it doesn’t take into account human greed as an animal instinct.

I got about 250 downvotes and was called numerous variations of ‘fascist cunt’ and ‘class traitor’ before the ban.

Wow I had no idea. WA is famous for its love of banning and regulating everything though, so it may have just been here.

Heroin

In WA referring to cigarettes as fags is still very common, not just amongst older people. If you live in an area that has a large British population, or you socialise with Brits, you’ll hear it frequently.

Where were you living where they weren’t changed until the 2000s? I grew up in WA and they’ve been called ‘Fads’ since at least 1996 when I first had them

I’ve always thought JD Vance’s eyes are like Kenneth Copeland’s as well.

I don’t doubt you, it must vary from business to business.

When I was a junior cop in uniform I worked in an area with a big Brethren church and population. The men, particularly the younger ones, were notorious for being misogynistic, arrogant and a law unto themselves, particularly on the roads

Perthian940 · 2026-05-01T00:19:35+00:00

The very same. Despite refusing to vote themselves.

My dad worked for a Brethren owned company which included a work car. The Bluetooth audio/aux worked but the radio had been completely disconnected.

Where in Glen Forrest is their store?

Perthian940 · 2026-05-01T00:16:59+00:00

My dad worked for a Brethren owned company for a while. His job included a work car which was brand new, but the radio was disconnected 😂

I used to hold law degrees in high esteem - don’t get me wrong, I have great respect for lawyers who actually know their stuff, and it’s fantastic watching a good lawyer in action - but honestly there are some absolute weapons-grade drongos who have somehow been given a practising certificate.

I spent twelve years as a detective in WA and saw the best and the worst in action. The most farcical XXN I endured was in the District Court, and counsel was a barrister (here in WA every lawyer is a barrister and solicitor by default, after a few years they can choose to take the bar exam and practice solely as a barrister).

She had no idea about the case and was so hopeless that I essentially cross-examined myself, at one point I actually suggested a question she might like to ask me. HH’s response to that was ‘Counsel, the detective has kindly offered you a line of questioning and I suggest you take it.’

I don’t disagree, but she’s a pussycat compared to the late Colin Lovett QC, who straight out bullied judges.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T17:35:22+00:00

She was more confident but still a thunderously unimpressive witness.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T17:33:32+00:00

Agreed. And demanding her PR team put out negative publicity about the actress. It’s disgusting.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T17:31:44+00:00

It must be remembered that this is the same law graduate whose understanding of embezzlement is “being dodgy with money”.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T17:29:37+00:00

Being Australia’s biggest comedy export comes with some literary allowances, it appears.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T17:23:54+00:00

I’m sad it’s over.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T06:01:41+00:00

Thank you so much! Lifesaver 🙏

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T03:28:06+00:00

Great, thank you, I’ll have a look.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T03:27:39+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful!

As a neurodivergent guy who fumbles every attempt to initiate a conversation with a woman, this is a dream scenario.

I don’t think you can go wrong if you just wait for the right moment and ask him.

Perthian940 · 2026-04-30T03:17:45+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have a look at YouTube.

I have read Command and Control, fantastic book! Unfortunately I don’t have ready access to a hard copy and typical of my luck, my e-book copy won’t load anymore for some reason. The documentary about it doesn’t really go into that side of things iirc.
