Or you could model your democratic presidential elections after a more efficient EU member state, or any number of other nation-states. It’s not like you have to copy the US.

That’s what they’d like you to think.

The Queen does hold power, and Prince Charles has said repeatedly that if/when he succeeds her he will take a more active role in ruling Britain[1]. Prince Charles’ current interference in politics is already a controversial issue[2,3].

Considering that the Royals cost taxpayers around £300 million annually to maintain, generating £150 million doesn’t even break even. In any event, that £150 million estimate mostly applies to British subjects paying for souvenirs etc. So it’s not bringing new money into the economy so much as recirculating commoners’…

It truly is an anachronism.

However, the Republic campaign seems to be gaining momentum:

Not to mention the Royals receive free services for a great many things that so-called “self-made” billionaires more or less pay for: security detail, special events, renovations and repairs.

There is also the matter of property held in trust for the Royals, for example their art collection which comprises hundreds of…

This bag is straight-up Indiana Jones.

Planning to watch this back-to-back with the Bill Cunningham documentary that came out a couple of years ago. Here’s to the style icon on the street! Here’s to not giving a fuck!

Holy shit it is the BLUE-BLACK/GOLD-WHITE all over again!

Never change!

Thank you for this! Love/commitment is not a hierarchy for which you have to rank your partner over your children, or vice-versa.

As for the 2-2-2 advice: Meh. My partner and I have found, over the years, that we just don’t need so-called “romantic” dates together to keep our relationship alive. Little things like…

The legal term for this expectation of privacy. It’s there in the name, genius.

Because the law protects the privacy of employees/customers even in public spaces, provided that the space in question confers a reasonable expectation of privacy (restrooms, hotel rooms, phone booths). In lawsuits against surveillance in restrooms, civil courts have consistently ruled in favour of plaintiffs.

No, the first sign of someone who has nothing to contribute is someone who has nothing to contribute. (I refer here to you.)

Most men are not rapists, but that doesn’t mean it’s incumbent upon you to trust them despite your experience. It’s up to the men in your life to be trustworthy, to earn your trust. Your feelings are valid and it’s okay to feel androphobic for as long as it helps you.

Noooo you’re not hijacking. You’re sharing your story and making it real.

And now, I’ll just add to the chorus saying, We hope you’re okay.

Depends on the black man in question, though. Bill Cosby is like Clarence Thomas or Don Lemon or Herman Cain to the FOX News viewing crowd. He is On Their Team (But Not Really).

Would we know, though? Would we really know about other rapes at the Playboy Mansion, given how infrequently rape is reported, and given that it would be less likely to reported by women who are employed there under strict non-disclosure contracts?

I like a good blended tea, but I understand the push behind unblended teas/other food & drink to be one of palate training. That is, drinking an unblended tea (or eating a single plantation choc, or drinking a single hop beer, or whatever) trains your senses to identify the subtle nuances of that tea.
