The man who built these, Dan Wheeler, died in March. It’s really sad that his work didn’t survive him for very long, after having been safe and sound for decades. http://www.newhampshire.com/Lakes-Region-mourns-ski-coach-found-unresponsive-at-Gunstock

In the beginning it seems like you are criticizing Stephen King for a recurring ‘magical negro’ trope, but then you acknowledge that in his work the main character is white. You also don’t bother to identify the ‘magical negro’ in the movies you cite - which black character in Shawshank has magical powers derived from…

That’s a difference from what? The same would be true of Henrik. As King consort, he would not become monarch if Queen Margrethe died.

Yes - that’s Henrik’s point, Queen consorts are common, but King consorts somehow are not.

The Jez post is misleading - he wants to be King consort, not King. That would not make him ‘rank higher than the Queen’, she would remain the monarch and head of state.

He wants to be King consort, not King.

First, he doesn’t want to be titled King - he wants to be titled King consort. That’s the same style of titling that women who marry monarchs receive as Queen consort.

I think you don’t understand what he wants - he doesn’t want to be monarch, he wants to be King consort - the same title that women who marry a male monarch get (Queen consort).

He actually had a form of weight loss surgery, but it doesn’t seem to have worked.

You sound like you get your information straight from God, or at least some nutjob who claims the authority to explain God to you in small words.

All you I-heard-about-Bernie-last-year people need to slow your roll. I first met Bernie when I was 14 and have been listening to his speeches and reading his comments for decades since. In fact I was in his office in Washington last week. Bernie is not your golden candidate. He’s a pure politician - not even a…

It’s less about the act of shopping and more about the style. When I go shopping, I decide what I want in advance and then go to the store, find out where the things are and go get them. Then I pay and leave. When my girlfriend goes shopping, she goes with the vague urge that there’s something she wants, and then…

The police were involved; Lauren said they did not ‘complete an investigation’ which is true, because Sulkowicz stopped cooperating with police investigators before they finished.

Many riders who compete in the Tour can only hope to win a single stage, and doing so is a career achievement.

I don’t think its super unusual for ultra privileged children of (separately) billionaire parents to end up with weird personality quirks.

The crazy thing is that this stupid dispute went before Leo Strine, one of the most prominent judges in the entire United States. The Delaware Court of Chancery is easily the most important non-federal court and more important than most federal district benches.

No, the two white guys are the ‘lead duo’ and the others are basically peripheral members of the main cast with substantial screen time.

He only has to lean on one or two to refuse to sign again to force massive (and expensive) re-cuts on the film. She probably doesn’t have the independent resources to do that.

It sounds like Bamba should ghost his brother and never look back.

Sure, but they don’t use Roundup.
