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.

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.

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.

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.

The Palace apparently sent TV stations all over the world a list of short sections of the funeral service that are banned from now on.
But since this is the internet and there's something called the Streisand Effect, here they are:

could charles canonise his mum? he has his own "catholic and reformed" church now. pretty sure there are at least a few anglican saints but idk what the process is

I could be wrong but seems the anglican saints are basically the old catholic ones and then there are a bunch of "heroes"? maybe she could be a heroine?

Theresa May's dad was one of them Anglo-Catholic freaks which might explain a lot. I once worked on the Anglican Monastery were he trained. The monks there were absolutely loaded and much freakier than any priests I've ever met, and that is saying something.

she goes to the Community of the Resurrection? it's a beautiful building and they spent a fortune on the refurb. The granite fonts they had installed must have cost a small fortune, looked pretty cool though.
