    i don’t think the monarchy is gonna make it. queen elizabeth lived so damn long from ww2 to now-ish. i can imagine a certain amount of inertia for legitimacy when the monarch is some ancient little old lady in pastel colors with corgis.

    but suddenly, the new monarch is this fuckin’ inbred guy who has been a public doofus since always. that has got to move the needle to where more people are like, “wait, how much is wasted on this asshole?”

              agree. a lot of Elizabeth’s whatever-was-going-on-there was masked by being small and elderly.

              king chuck has got it all, proudly, on front street, and his whole vibe is a reminder of the queens non-verbal cousins that were hidden and locked away.

        you made me doubt it and i looked and yes, he really does want these things. the toothpaste centimeter thing is because he wants exactly an inch of toothpaste out of a crested silver dispenser, which translates to 2.54cm. the claims come from Omid Scobie’s book “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight For Survival”

        There’s interviews with his butler where the butler talks about the toothpaste and also being called into his office in order to throw out one piece of paper into a paperbasket next to the desk.

          The mean number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the US … than in England

          Consistently higher RII and SII [inequality index] values were found in the US than in England

          The oral health of US citizens is not better than the English, and there are consistently wider educational and income oral health inequalities in the US compared with England.

          I mean ukkk but this was always silly.

              This is where it comes from. British people, celebs especially, didn’t spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on expensive cosmetic dental surgery, they just had their natural teeth, so they’re a bit crooked and a little yellow.

              Napkins and cotton swabs too? Here Kleenex is strictly for your nose (or nut). I think the tissues did so well that the idea of Kleenex for your butt is weird.

                It’s just toilet paper, which is probably made in the same factories as tissue paper, so Kleenex decided to cut out the middleman there. Not sure why they only do it in some places though. Maybe the US has too competitive of a toilet paper market?

                  No its a simple matter of branding. Kleenex is a brand owned by Kimberly Clark, which also owns the TP brand Cottonelle. No reason to compete against yourself unless you’re trying to make another brand look good by comparison.

                  Theres also the fact that the Kleenex brand in the US is extremely closely tied to facial tissues that its basically synonymous. Making a Kleenex TP would dilute that reputation.

        imagine trying to explain to any indigenous group on turtle island or in africa that the soulless mayoids that are about to invade, genocide, and enslave them are exclusively ruled by petulant children wearing silly clothes and wigs and funny hats.

          There is actually a tribe in the Amazon that considers him some sort of god of fertility. There’s a docuseries about it.

          Edit: googled it and found the cargo cult “the prince Philip movement”. Probably the ones I was thinking of, so not a tribe but a part of one.

      Sometimes I have a fantasy of becoming POTUS and demanding the UK giving me the crown jewels as an act of fealty. Then I leverage the jewels to sweeten some trade deal with India. It usually ends with me holding up the hope diamond that shines across a cricket stadium as I yell the hindi equivalent of “Ich bin ein Berliner”.

        Because there is a smaller hat inside that actually fits on her head I think. Otherwise the fancy crown would just slip down and cover her face.

          Legendary Achievement (Unclaimed): If you give the hat a big enough bop on top it slips over her face and her head gets stuck in it.

    Like that this comments section isn’t filled with his defenders claiming this extreme privilege is just undiagnosed autism and criticizing it is ableism like I’ve seen when this is posted elsewhere.

      I think that’s more insulting to autistic people than making fun of a Prince for being a spoiled adult brat who throws temper tantrums. Autistic people arent that demanding and if someone was, they would still need to be rich and privileged enough to make those impositions

          In this case it wouldnt make a difference. I know ive read way back that mental health treatment is at its lowest at the poorest and richest levels, poorest cause lack of access and richest cause you can just pay make the world suit you. I have no idea how fact based this was, it was years ago that I saw it, but it passes a vibes check

            mental health treatment is at it’s lowest at the poorest and richest levels … richest cause you can just pay make the world suit you

            I have a friend who did house renovations on Hawaii for the rich and famous, and he has the wildest stories. Like one couple that rented a mansion and the wife remodeled it with fur-on-the-walls 70s chic. Why?! I quote, “she gets what she wants”, then paid to remodel it back. These people weren’t even that wealthy comparatively, maybe $70MM net worth. The wife was an heiress of something, but I can’t remember.

            I don’t often get struck by a story, but my friend has a way of getting me to lenin-palace
