  • 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.

  • I've literally never heard any human being praise or admire royalty, aside from Diana.

    • 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.

      • 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.

  • Thought the gun was a squirt gun connected to the (wine? champagne? w/e) bottle, now that would've been classy
