i have no strong feelings one way or the other, i just don't think the figurehead of a nation should be shilling a specific kind of product.

they should be utterly boring and inoffensive, their job is to be boring and inoffensive and refrain from uttering anything vaguely political or controversial.

similarly, conspiracy cranks get all up in arms about some shady group of "elites" that somehow aren't just.. billionaires and top-level politicians..

they have an actual legitimate conspiracy in front of them, presented on a fucking silver platter, and yet they completely ignore that and instead make shit up that makes no fucking sense.

i was thinking that, this is the least insane conspiracy theory simply because no one other than rich fuckheads would care

people ridicule me for using a spear, but this is why!

none of these forced updates, i just periodically check in with an enchanter to see if there are any new runes, and once or twice per year i take it to a blacksmith for a reforging.

Sure, it's not quite as fancy and i have to sharpen it myself, but as just demonstrated i don't even consider swords an option.

well you see it uses BBQ to BMW the CCTV, and if that doesn't work it falls back to PNW for sending a VCR request to the MTG

my radical hypothesis is that it just fuckin turned into a thing organically, and that not everything needs one specific reason that dates back to friday the 10th of 1702 at roughly five past noon.

sort of, almost

the UK monarch has a bit more power/freedom, like the current king has pushed for people to eat more lamb and stuff which is.. a bit strange for a figurehead to do. Like it'd be less weird if he'd pushed for better healthcare or something..

I don't think the UK monarch is bad as it stands, but i think the position could do with a bit more neutering.

Anyways the actual political system in the UK is a way bigger issue, it's a god damn clown show on every level and it's a minor miracle that people managed to vote for a PM that seems vaguely reasonable.

honestly it's not just a decent amount of leeway, it's basically free game so long as you're not outright offensive.

There's a gene called "sonic hedgehog", and many other organisms with names that are specifically meant to just be funny and absurd.
