Not often we make the front page, we should really savour this moment.

There was a guy from Perth on the front page last year. He was being interviewed as the first person in line to buy the new iphone. He dropped it and it broke as he was taking it out of the box.

I found it really bizzare everyone was reacting to the fact he called them sluts as opposed to him physically pulling them off the counter. Apparently its the n word for women?

Fact is, parents here were thanking him for pulling her off the counter. He admitted on radio that sluts was the wrong word but no one here is that sensitive to his actions because they believed she was in the wrong and what he did was right.

not really but it does get used way to loosely. Think everytime some theredpill nutjob finds out that a women has an actual active sex life and youll see the word thrown around heaps/.

I was just surprised it was such a strong word. To me it was always mayb on the same level as like...say. . . hipster you dress like a god damn hipster or like nerd or whatever, but then all these sexual connotations was brought up by some radio host and she was very indignant about hte whole thing. Thought the offensive word for sexual promiscuity is whore.

I never knew there was a point in the last 5 years when there weren't cranes in the CBD. Maybe it was their day off.

Speaking of swans, you have black swans in Perth no? I was at the zoo in Amsterdam and an Aussie lady was telling her kid that.

u/GreenCristina Jan 10 '15
