This past week, the very few times I've seen any TV news, they've been reporting on nothing but the British royals breeding. Fucking hell, there are more than enough things to report on that are actually relevant and effect people's lives, but no, some family of has-been aristocrats on the other side of the world shits out a little bastard, we have to hear about it over and over and over and fucking over again.

It's like those stupid Princess Diana conspiracy theories from 2007 all over again.

I felt the same way until I saw this, and now it's all worth it.

Agreed. The monarchy doesn't actually do anything important anymore. In fact, it kinda sucks to be born into it. Your entire life, you're put on display for people to gawk at, you have little privacy, the government likes to trot you out for display at loads of public engagements, like a prized pet or something, and you get no retirement; you keep doing it until you drop dead. It's an exhausting and kind of demeaning life, and it's absolutely pointless!

You're rich, you get to meet famous people, there's little in the way of roadblocks in life, and did I mention you're rich?

While true, things still do suck for them, just not in the same way they suck for us footsloggers.

Little in the way of roadblocks? On the contrary. The kid's life has mostly been planned out from before he was a sperm in the Prince's testicles, and there'll be an enormous pressure to follow that particular course. Not to mention having zero privacy from before he was even born, every minor fuck-up being a news story. Many choose that in exchange for wealth and fame, to be sure, but they got a choice. Not the royal heir.

Actually, Charlie Stross made this argument better than I could, so read what he said instead.

Yeah, regular folks like us have a chance of becoming rich (or financially stable, at least), but without all the nonsense royals have to deal with. Kate can't afford to be anything other than perfect because all eyes are on her at all times now. That's a ruddy life, if you ask me.

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

My brother and dad are inconsiderate pieces of shit. Neither of them bothered to tell me that my godfather -- the man who was basically like a second dad to me when I was a little kid -- died all the way back in fucking April. I only found out today because I noticed that only my godmother had signed my birthday card, and checked his Facebook to discover a bunch of "RIP" comments on his wall.

Seriously, who just "forgets" to tell someone about something like that?

Goddamn. I'm so sorry, lovely. *hugs* I'd punch 'em for ya if I could. I doubt I could reach further than the crotch but people need a good crotch punch sometimes, huh?

My condolences on your loss.

Why weren't you in contact with him?

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Why weren't you in contact with him?

He and my godmother moved across the country years ago, and he wasn't on Facebook very often. It's been a while since I had regular contact with either of them, but still, he and my godmother were an integral part of my life when I was a kid.
