This is what no royal tours does to a mf.

Letting William parade around the U.S. would cure you of that notion, as it did in several Caribbean nations.

this is true but there are some aspects of British communal life that are absent in America, which makes it feel more alienating here. like being called “love” by strangers, queues, the pub, the football, the blitz, the transphobia… :britain:

Seriously what’s with the transphobia. Don’t read about the peep show guys IRL because you realize they’re not joking when they go on about “women having vaginas” on the show and are firm on that as a political position

A bunch of island nations have already left very recently because gently caress that colonial era garbage and King Charles will probably cause Australia and New Zealand to finally peace out. In countries where Diana was the only royal that anybody liked Charles is really hated because of his weird abusive spouse vibes towards her. There’s even a dedicated government minister in Australia laying the groundwork for becoming a republic once the queen is dead. So they’ll potentially start shedding some of the larger economies from the commonwealth, especially if those countries leaving prompts discussions in India, Canada, Malaysia, etc


The main upside is being able to play in an off brand version of the Olympics that is easy to dominate the medal tally in because there’s no America or China to compete with

I visited Phoenix recently for a lovely wedding at a very nice suburban house, and the property was built on a former pecan orchard. The yard had a bunch of weird culverts in it and after asking about them turns out the yard gets flooded once a week by the same irrigation system that used to service the old orchard.

And I thought that was extravagant for Phoenix, lol. The hosts did make use of the irrigation to grow a bunch of beautiful citrus trees on their property, though

imo phoenix should go neighborhood to neighborhood and pay people to rip out their lawns, use flood irrigation and have a professional crew xeriscape their lawn. instead we get dipshit USA today/guardian columnists/somethingawful posters wondering about why people are using flood irrigation instead of just setting their lawn sprinklers to come on for 3 hours every night

Hey what's the British national animal?

This poo poo pisses me off to no end. The brits try to claim the lion, the dragon, and a loving unicorn as their national animals. It’s not good enough for them to appropriate the coolest animal in all the colonies, these loving limeys try to steal the best mythical creatures from elsewhere too.

And they will try to defend it too, they will claim the dragon was invented in wales or the first lions came from Liverpool. They are all beyond hope.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I have never really been on a pleasure boat but just observing from land it seems like most boat people drive the boat out a few feet and then drink heavily while not moving or maybe driving the boat in circles. Sometimes they jump in the water or do water skiing but this is extremely rare.

you’re missing boat sex but otherwise you got boat ownership besides the never ending maintenance costs.
