What charities they embrace is dictated as much by politics and social decorum as it is the Queen’s particular tastes, and the ability to wear wedges doesn’t seem like something that has much impact on a person’s quality of life.

His initial chemistry with Angelina was off the charts though, I’d be surprised if just anyone could compare to that. And while his marriage to Aniston was already in bad shape, by comparison, Knox and Vivienne would’ve been conceived around the time he shot Basterds. People like to say “once a cheater, always a…

I think he rubbed a few people the wrong way in the manner he would publically talk about Ariana, sexualizing her, joking about replacing her birth control with Tic Tacs and whatnot.

I find it regrettable that despite many of her issues such as her eating disorder and borderline personality having been apparent before their marriage, she managed to manipulate the press and public into believing they were directly caused by the marriage. To this day, many refuse to be swayed from that belief which…

Not really. Those rules are set in place by their Constitution and centuries of tradition, and the sitting monarch isn’t in much of a position to make wild reforms. Elizabeth bristled at quite a bit of protocol and strictures early in her reign but was ultimately thwarted or often just persuaded by her elders to…

Right, and what I’m saying is what’s the big deal about being queen when you get all the perks of being an HRH from the moment you marry in? You’re a working royal either way, and if anything, being Queen Consort is more restrictive and less desirable than being a Duchess. It may be disappointing for the heir to have…

Yeah, that’s my point that there are multiple downsides. Your comment seemed to suggest that the downside that kept potential brides away was that they’d have to wait until old age to actually become queen, unless I’m misunderstanding you.

I suppose I can sympathize with your lack of sympathy, but I have to note that, no, mouthwash does not effectively mask the taste and texture of vomit. I’ve kissed a vomit mouth after toothbrushing. It just tastes like spearmint puke, and it’s nasty.

Why would that be a reason to avoid William and Harry? There doesn’t seem too much downside in living out life as an HRH duchess as opposed to a queen consort. The reason to avoid them would be not wanting to live under that kind of scrutiny and protocol.

I’ve read some really sad details about their early marriage. They would try to be intimate, but he struggled with his arousal because she frequently tasted of vomit due to her battles with bulimia. So that pushed him into Camilla’s arms which only exacerbated Diana’s eating disorder further, and things just worsened…

But he was with Angelina by the time he did Inglorious Basterds. Otherwise, I’m sure he would’ve managed to hook up with Diane Kruger.

She was Louis’ house slave from when he was still human. Then he bit and killed her after he was turned vampire and his grief/guilt made him burn down the house.

Thandie Newton was in Interview with a Vampire.

Yup. I mean, I feel dumber for having read this article, but it actually seems like the root of the beef is Cardi making a lot of unnecessary and impolitic comments because she’s too green and unsophisticated to handle press. In that context, it doesn’t seem inappropriate that Minaj would discourage other industry…

Yeah, with all due respect, you can fuck right off with that shit. My older sister’s an asshole, and I treat my 8 years younger sister with respect and not condescension.

Some shops put them up this early, but most private citizen don’t. My family tradition was to decorate the tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving, last weekend in November.

I’d be surprised if you’d never heard Bang Bang.

This is such a horrible hill to die on, especially since you’re basing your opinion on falsehoods. Your moral high ground looks a lot more like a high horse.

Yes, I understand what you’re responding to, but I’m explaining how the process actually works. The sheriff is just a mouthpiece for the State here and only oversees his department’s collection of evidence. It falls solely to DA to decide whether or not to bring the case before a grand jury and press charges, and…

I wonder if there were more ugly people at one point in history that just got bred out of existence. It certainly helps that royalty now gets to marry for love instead of political alliance.
