      Well, his Wikipedia article is horrifying

      He asserts that casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make an impression on the inside of women’s vaginas and offers exercises to “clean out” said vaginas; he writes that children get cancer because they want it;

      I hope her first husband kept their daughters away from him

      Yeah sadly she counts as a royal, but the civilian in the picture is her sister in laws son pre marriage into the royal family. So technically not a royal, but might as well be.

      Most people in Norway like the king and the queen, and the crown Prince and the crown princess, and their children (together), they used to like this guy too before he got caught doing all this illegal shit

    Americans: Our system is the best because we don’t have royalty, we have a President instead!

    American President: Plating his palace with gold and being completely above the law.

      Argument from Ignorance (Ad Ignorantiam): This fallacy occurs when someone asserts that a proposition is false because they personally haven’t heard of it, or it’s not commonly known to them.

      “Well, I've never heard of that” ⟶ Implies: “Therefore, it's probably wrong or not credible.”

      It’s an epistemic fallacy, where the absence of knowledge is treated as evidence of absence or insignificance.

      Essentially, your ignorance of the subject matter doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it just means you’re ignorant of the subject matter. 🤷 🤣

        I missed the part where they said anything other than never having heard it themself. They never claimed that nobody says it. Maybe think about that next time you’re going to be condescending for no reason.

          Did teachers often hand you your tests face down?

          Europeans: “Our royals are sophisticated and classy” shows trashy person Brave Hitachi: “I’ve literally never heard any human being praise or admire royalty”

          If you can’t gather from context what’s being said by these two lines then you should go back to your soaps 💀

                  This is sadly incorrect.

                  Further, I was correct. We notice you didn’t address my previous comment :)

                  Get well soon :)

        You will not find that I have declared any fact beyond my ignorance, and it is rather the imputation of an assertion beyond that ignorance that constitutes the genuine fallacy here.

      Also Trump was super delighted that he could sleep in a Dutch palace. The charm offensive by the Dutch royalties worked on him since he wasn’t as belligerent at the NATO summit as he normally is, so the adults in the room could do the talking.

    Nobody’s saying that our royals are classy, except themselves, their paid weirdos, and, weirdly enough, americans.

    Never heard a European or Brit describe any royalty as classy, other than in sarcastic jabs at their mates (e.g “Who do you think you are, the Queen?” when somebody goes for the second-cheapest instant noodle option, instead of the cheapest).

    Largely, at least in Britain, they’re pretty widely considered inbred freeloaders, in my experience. Might be very biased, as I’m of a younger generation, but a lot of the older folk I’ve spoken to feel similarly (if, mostly, less hostile).

    Most people are completely apathetic at best, I think.

      I find that most people I talk to had positive opinions of the late queen, but as you said are apathetic towards Charles at best and disturbed by Andrew. Prince William seems to be highly regarded though.

    Did that guy just tattoo his birthday on his chest?

    Yup just checked, he was of course born in 1997.

    Wow what a way to declare to the world what kind of a narcissistic asshole you are.

    Charged with any crime? All the prosecution has to do is make him show that tattoo. No other evidence required.

      He is a narcissistic asshole, but having your birthday tattooed doesn’t mean you’re guilty of any crime you’re accused of.

      Pretty sure my .22s have a larger bore, and I have a shitload.

      Funny story:

      Black dude runs up in the local redneck bar and starts waving a BB pistol around. “You’re money and your jewelry!”, kinda talk. People were like, whatever dude, that’s a BB gun. “I’m fucking serious!” One the guys playing pool walked up behind him and clocked him over the skull with the blunt end of a pool stick. Fin.
