@PinkPsychonaut Can confirm this is the correct stance. I think our SPF factor here is actually higher than other countries, so SPF50 in the UK is barely SPF25 here. Like, sun protection is drummed into us hard from a very early age.
@WelsknightPlays This is why I keep replaying Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. It's janky, very 2000s in its humour and edginess, and needs an unofficial patch/mod in order to run properly, but damn is that ever a fantastic game.
@retronymph@JennyENicholson Ice-cold water is not a good sensory experience. Just regular cold tap temperature is fine. Much lower than room temp, but not icy.
“Race mixing” is actually very normal throughout history. Nobody is “pure” anything and never has been. People move around, people fuck. 1,000 years ago you had Norsemen that were 1/4th Arab, Rus that were half Mongol, Swahili people that were half Arab. Nobody cared then, you shouldn’t care now. Race is a modern construct that was developed along with colonialism and slavery.
Hello, this is your reminder that literally everything the Royal Family do is about PR. They are not neutral. Marketing, misleading the public and controlling narratives around themselves are absolutely central to their identity and their success.
If something feels like an advert that’s because it’s an advert.
If something feels off, that’s because it’s off.
If something feels like a cover up, that’s because it’s a cover up.
If something feels like a distraction, that’s because it’s a distraction.
Stop looking at our monarchy as if it’s this little old special family who just so happen to be born into royalty, and start seeing them for what they are.
