  • It is immensely more efficient to run a generator and collect/use that power precisely than to combust it and use that power directly.

  • I do want to point out, the British monarchy has zero power in Canada. Any status they have is purely symbolic.

  • Eh… I have mixed feelings on that.

    Firstly, I don’t think his position made him a monster. I absolutely think it made it easier to become one, but there are plenty of opportunistic pedophiles who aren’t princes. In fact I don’t think it’s a far stretch to say the vast majority aren’t princes

    Secondly, correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t the majority of his privilege been stripped from him? Yeah, he can still visit royal places and such, but doesn’t he have about the same “power” as an in law or something?

    There’s also the question of if the monarchy enabled his actions. Though, again I admit they may not have done enough after learning of his actions.

    As a Canadian who never really paid attention to British royalty, this feels a lot like blaming a family for one member committing a mass murder. But that could just be a lack of understanding on my part.

  • Doesn’t this happen virtually every year?

  • The ear is about the only thing this really works with. There’s not much special going on with it, it’s just shaped flesh and cartilage. You don’t even need nerves in the ear to use it, since literally everything happens inside your head.

    You couldn’t do this with pretty much anything else really.

  • Cmon, you can’t cherry pick a house and say “just uproot your entire life, there are cheaper houses out there!”

    Schools, job market, support system and more all play a huge part. It isn’t as simple as “just move.”

  • Six figures could be anything between 100k and 999k. If they are on the lower end, they aren’t really that privileged, especially if they are living in an area that necessitates a pay that high.

    Hell, there are some places that 100k would be closer to the regions “poverty line” so to speak.

  • I mean, I’d make the same joke about hulk hogan if there had been a parks and recs blooper about it. Assuming it is about her explicitly being a woman is a bit of a stretch.
