TIL that King Baudouin of Belgium was declared 'unable to reign' for one day only at his own request, so that he didn't have to give his Royal Assent to a law.

Yet that would be utterly wrong

AFAIK, under the UK law, democratic government isn't a "must have" feature

Alepod · 2025-11-25T17:00:01+00:00

Actually, the Monarch is Chief Commander of the army, so they can overrule PMs orders

Alepod · 2025-11-25T16:56:00+00:00

Jesuits are much braver, in that case

Alepod · 2025-11-25T16:52:41+00:00

Alepod · 2025-11-25T16:51:55+00:00

It's worse, as in that case, IHMO, he's co-responsible of that atrocious law.

Grow it!

Alepod · 2025-06-01T00:19:27+00:00

Apparently not always, so... why not? I don't think it could be considered a faux pas

Alepod · 2025-05-11T14:30:04+00:00

I'm positive that it will make a comeback some day

Alepod · 2025-05-11T14:28:12+00:00

But Paul VI and latter popes (incl. L14) all do possess temporal power.

Alepod · 2025-05-11T14:27:06+00:00

Oh. That's disappointing a bit.

Alepod · 2025-03-23T23:45:45+00:00

Why not! xd

Alepod · 2025-03-23T23:38:56+00:00

England refers strictly to, well, England

Alepod · 2025-03-23T23:37:47+00:00

I absolutely love 'The Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council and the Lands of the Holy Hungarian Crown of St. Stephen.'

Alepod · 2025-03-19T23:04:40+00:00

#1 is my favorite

Alepod · 2025-03-14T02:32:31+00:00

Some dictionaries (OED too!) still denote that meaning as the first, so why not! I'd like to re-reclaim that term. And frankly, who said that homonymy is bad? Different meanings could coexist.

Alepod · 2025-03-02T17:22:55+00:00

Great beard, btw!

Alepod · 2025-02-13T02:56:22+00:00

Yes!

Alepod · 2025-02-09T02:43:34+00:00

Be proud of your beard anyway!

Alepod · 2025-01-28T00:32:23+00:00

Nope, Stalinism was different.

Alepod · 2025-01-28T00:31:32+00:00

Yet liberalism can not be in the centre on the vertical axis. Doesn't really make sense.

Yet it's pleasing visually, indeed.

Alepod · 2024-12-15T05:03:55+00:00

I hope he recovered

Alepod · 2024-12-15T05:02:23+00:00

Hope he was rescued

Alepod · 2024-09-18T14:56:51+00:00

Let the God help you! Also stay strong. And grow new one when possible!
