True, but we can at least know when hurricanes and tornadoes are coming, right? We're always completely in the dark as to when the next big earthquake will arrive.

Yeah, but still, I'd usually take a surprise earthquake (ie: any earthquake) over a tornado or hurricane that you can KIND OF see coming, but not THAT far in advance. I guess when you grow up with earthquakes, though, they're usually pretty un-scary. "Oh hey, look, the ground is moving. Nothing's falling on my head, so I'm going back to sleep."

hurricanes you generally have at least 3 days warning where it's likely to go. they're not really a surprise event

i guess in places like new jersey where they have poo poo for zoning regulations and a mild tropical storm can destroy entire towns it's different, but whatever

There is an utterly shocking amount of British D&D posters who are ready to defend their monarchy and really believe in it. It's like how the Dutch posters defend Zwarte Piet. "BUT SHE BRINGS TOURISM DOLLARS AND DOESN'T ACTUALLY USE HER IMPERIAL POWERS EVER" gently caress off.

Yeah, well, at least she's harmless and we Americans can get a good laugh off of her. Unlike Zwarte Piet, who magically possesses Northern Europeans and makes them ridiculously racist when they're not being sanctimonious.

They have a little old lady who sits in a fancy house guarded by ceremonial troops, who legally has all the powers of a dictator, that they worship, put on the money, sing about, and they defend it. Even the left-wingers. Also us Americans love the poo poo out of that little old lady and her stupid inbred family, which is horribly sickening in its own way.
