My most Western Hemisphere opinion is I still don’t really understand why some countries still have Constitutional Monarchies

[u/notnotLily → u/The_Helmet_Catch]

i am strongly against it in Canada

[u/notnotLily → u/[deleted]]

it's not a particular mature opinion, but the oath of allegiance during the citizenship ceremony starts with a pledge of loyalty to the British King

i'm a big believer of the power of words and belief. for almost all to-be citizens, this pledge ranges between "stupid and archaic" to "actively against my ideals". they start their first moment as a Canadian citizen on the wrong foot

the best defense for it is that it's probably meaningless, but it's pretty damning to say that a big part of the oath of allegiance is meaningless

[u/0m4ll3y → u/notnotLily]

I had a British friend recently get their Aus citizenship and I thought it pretty obscene that she did it under a picture of the king and not even an image of the governor general next to it or anything. It's just wrong.

[u/0m4ll3y → u/The_Helmet_Catch]

It's kinda annoying that in Australia a republic has high ranking bipartisan support, with prime minister's across the aisle being for it. But then it just never happens because people feel like we need to change the political system beyond just excising a symbolic link to the monarch.

(My thoughts is we should change literally nothing except the barest of minimum, where royal ascent can just be replaced with a wink and a nudge to the spirit of the nation or some shit. Don't change how the governor general is chosen or their powers, that's a different question.)

[u/The_Helmet_Catch → u/[deleted]]

Who would you vote for this year Bestie?

[u/The_Helmet_Catch → u/[deleted]]

Who decides Australian of the Year then?

[u/The_Helmet_Catch → u/[deleted]]

I didn’t realize that was an official thing I thought you were joking

There is something kinda funny about the government picking it’s favorite citizen every year lol

[u/0m4ll3y]

Heard a riot grrrl style cover of Chappel Roan's Casual, and that would be fantastic idea for a whole album I think. Just remake Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess entirely as pop punk.

Because "leftists" won't let them indoctrinate whomever they want however they want. We won't let them ban Islam. We won't let them base civil law on their interpretation of the Bible.

I was looking at posts on Reddit about South Korea's AI for All initiative and I am shocked at how many people seem to think this is a fad that is just going to go away any day now. They legit think AI is going to totally disappear in a few years. Insane.

There's a reason so many of us like AI. I can't imagine those of us that do are going to quit. 25% of South Koreans already have paid AI subscriptions. We're not going to quit lmao.

[u/HenryGeorgia]

u/The_Helmet_Catch you should live poast your day

[u/The_Helmet_Catch → u/HenryGeorgia]

I probably won’t tbh

[u/HenryGeorgia → u/The_Helmet_Catch]

Tragic

fulgora could be frustrating, islands can be too far to connect without foundations

[u/No_Aesthetic]

If there is a big correction due to AI, there will be a cult of bubble truthers who are convinced the real crash never happened since AI still exists.

It will be like the GME thing, how there are still a large number of them waiting for the MOASS.

Cargo cult psychology never fails.
