Can't we all just agree that anyone pretending to be royalty in the 21st century needs to face the guillotine? Why is anyone getting special privileges based on the family they were born into in a country that claims to be democratic?

Had someone actually use that excuse re: the Royal family once. I'm not sure they liked my suggestion that the French executed all their royalty and they seem to be doing okay on the tourism side.

Compromise: Anyone claiming royal blood and/or status may now be pied in the face at any or all times by anyone from a country which was at any point colonized by said royalty's kingdom.

Now it's a game and they have some value.

Honestly, since Harry abdicated or whatever and became financially independent, they haven't got anyone with any charisma left. If it's going to officially end, I would think it will happen when Liz dies. She might even do it herself just so Charles never becomes king.

The media in the UK hate Harry these days, because he dared suggest maybe the Royal family and the UK should confront it's past. Not even apologise or pay reparations, Just admit it did some bad things.

And gently caress me do they hate his wife.

From all accounts Liz is a true believer. Chosen by God and all that, so she's in it until she pops her clogs.

The UK is actually a really lovely place to visit. Some beautiful countryside and its history before colonialism is very rich and interesting.

But people just go to London, which is just a big dirty city like any other with colonial trimmings and some palaces.
Instead go for a lovely walking holiday in Wales, a lot of them hate the English there too.

I was going to!!! I had it all planned. I was going to seek some kind of connection with my welsh ancestors who, for some reason, left green and rainy Wales to live in a bit of Australia that's hot and dry even by Australian standards. And I was going to drop into a few other countries along the way, cos why not.

I liked Bale in Newsies.


Around that time he was in the TNT original movie adaptation of Treasure Island, which was one of the classiest pirate movies ever made. Charleston Heston was a surprisingly convincing Long John Silver, a host of BBC actors just nailed it, and it boasts the most piratical score ever composed, courtesy of the Chieftains. It was certainly no Empire of the Sun for Bale, but he did a good job. Unfortunately the only way to see it is to buy the DVD or do something very piratical indeed.

Edit: upon review: nearly everything I said is wrong. You can stream it on everything, and watching the trailer, I think I was remembering it through kid goggles. Oof. Still a great soundtrack (that they didn't use in the trailer).

I’ve been to London like 4 times now and it’s always fine compared to the states but then I spent 2 weeks in Edinburgh and fell in love with Scotland. The people, the city, the way they have so much green and no trash anywhere. It was wonderful.

When you have body dysmorphia so bad that you get plastic surgery like that, do you think you look better or do you see how hosed up you look, too.

Edit: I apologize if the earlier example seemed insensitive. There can be many mental issues behind why people get a lot of plastic surgery.

Legit question. Like, did Michael Jackson ever come to realize how hosed he looked? Or did he look in the mirror and say “Yes, this is an improvement!”

Hold on, I'll just turn off my monitor for a bit.

From how I heard it, the less of his abusive father's face he could see in the mirror, the better

I think the Musk head on Zuckerberg body would look like a standard sys op. Not "normal", but within human boundaries.

I can't rap my head around what's going on with Musk's torso, and adding the weirdness of Zuckerberg and his Augustus haircut tips it right over the edge.
