queen elizabeth II

xp idk fella, if I’d mocked someone’s mental illness after being told that was the context of their post, I’d get off the old high horse, but not you!

Aimless aren't you embarrassed to have posted a defence of the monarchy last week and then log off when you were told your lady was up to no good? Think we'd forget did you?

Aimless aren't you embarrassed to have posted a defence of the monarchy last week

Oh, you mean the defense where I called the monarchy "pathological"? Why would I be embarrassed about something I did not do, just because you misremember it and then mislabel it?

you did post the old "harmless figurehead" defence, which is completely clueless and embarrassing tbf.

Yeah cmon man you showed your arse there, maybe ppl are missing some actual point to your “fine idea” (I know I am) but it hardly takes alphian bad faith to reach the conclusion you are at it

I mean, I'm sure some people cried when Richard Nixon died.

Professional impressionists maybe

The old bag was on the throne for 70 years and every single media outlet in the UK was hellbent on whipping up nationalistic fervour - and was given 10 days to do so - and yet the numbers don't compare to a mere commoner like Churchill. Good.

Aimless tried to separate the Monarchy and The Queen in a pathetic attempt at nuance.

Then gyac actually posted some articles (when laughter was all that deserved) and the guy stopped posting for a week. Now he's got the nerve to come back for more!

was churchill a commoner? he was the grandson of the 7th duke of marlborough so he was definitely aristocracy-adjacent

Sat in the Commons though.

lol yes i had gradually crawled my way round to this hard-to-deny counterargument

viscount stansgate ruined it for everyone, left the commons lousy with self-demoted lords

Then gyac actually posted some articles (...) and the guy stopped posting for a week. Now he's got the nerve to come back for more!

Your version is wrong, but accurately reflects your prejudice against me. It was Zelda Zonk, not gyac, who posted about some of the more egregious sins that Eliz II committed. Zelda was responding to what I said, not who she presumed me to be, and thus was being helpful. I took it in that spirit, agreed my perspective was wrong, and dropped it.

As for my 'coming back for more', it simply emphasizes that your reflexive response to me is to abuse me simply for quoting you and agreeing. I recognize this as bullying and I find it as off-putting as it is meant to be. So, your strategy is working just fine. I'm sure this will gratify you.

He’s referring to this post.

Gyac posted a few links. Zelda did also respectfully respond, maybe they don't know your posts xp

maybe they don't know your posts

since your memory seems to rewrite my posts to fit your preconceptions, perhaps you are the wrong person to consult on this

I recognize this as bullying and I find it as off-putting as it is meant to be. So, your strategy is working just fine. I'm sure this will gratify you.

We have a saying in this country. It is as follows: "Chat shit get banged". Study it.

and a lovely country it is, too

We have an expression in America. It is as follows: "Shit, cat. It don't make a difference."

and a lovely country it is, too

lol

Queens funeral isn’t sad if you put “Life is a Highway” behind it pic.twitter.com/aSnfnoZmEo

it's hardly bullying, more like you came back to shit on a thread where you'd previously shown your ignorance and made an arse of yourself. And not just shit on the thread but also trying to defend the stupid fucking senseless post you made in the first place!

thx for the input, calz

no probs.

He wants to be helped you see.

Also ignored the fact that the post of mine I linked above was responding to his post and not whatever ad hominem shit he says it was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK, I'll respond, since you make an issue of it. Your post, which you helpfully linked a short time ago, was responding to mine. But his contention was that your post was so damning that it caused me to flee the thread. Your post appeared on September 12, 2022 1:58 AM, my local time. I had already responded to Zelda's polite correction to my mistaken views, with which I agreed, and I had stopped posting six hours earlier. This hardly matches his version of my being trounced by your links and slinking off in shame.

Now, I am going to go about the rest of my day. Which is not quite the same as running away in horror at my predicament. We all have lives apart from ilx.

My god he is going to stop posting

Read that: 1) this was viewed less than the Euro '20 final in the UK, and now how this funeral is the most watched event in TV history.

Guess both things can be true.

needs better stats for aliens watching the royal signal as it gradually percolates thru space

Honestly did not realize that thr funeral was even broadcast in the U.S. until my mom mentioned on Monday that she'd watched some of it.

the 6bn number originally came from the right wing press, i think. it was reported by the bbc but didn't originate there.

Sitting here idly wondering how many people drew their last breath during the funeral festivities. Must be a few?

120 ppl die every minute if that helps

it definitely helps a little

Nice try. pic.twitter.com/72UTWPLSuZ

looks legit

120 ppl die every minute if that helps

= entire UK population dead in a year. Make the most of it!

ffs they still had a minute's applause at the start of Scotland v Ukraine game, how long is this shite going to go on? For those unfamiliar with the concept, a minute's applause is the fallback when the authorities aren't confident a minute's silence is going to be observed, and indeed the applause just about drowned out the boos.

this proves that people that show up for international games are at least 60% more likely to be melts

some scientists did an ant tally and estimated that there was 20 quadrillion of the bitey little radge fuckers on this planet. The international ant community only go into a state of mourning if more than a billion of them die in one day, probably.

There's a scientific theory that ant nests are ruled not by their queens, but rather by sizeable fungal growths at their base that release behaviour-altering spores. That fungus? Rupert Murdoch. The spores? Take your pick.
Still working on this one tbh.
