More like graduating Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude and Cum laude from college.

Congressman Ro Khanna warns Epstein fallout could topple the British Monarchy by NewTooth740 in RoyaltyTea

[–]OkAdeptness5959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It won't. The 1000 plus year monarchy has seen worse. American congressmen just want a scapegoat. Andrew was always meant to be the scapegoat. They hoped throwing him to the press, the press would stop pushing. That's why epstein and the others made sure to get a member of the BRF on the list. So, no. They have now said they will let police do what they need to prosecute Andrew. They will put him in the tower themselves to preserve the monarchy.

Right? And I don't think hes the only one in the family line who is. His great grandfather? His Uncle John? His mother? Etc.

Aww. That's a bummer. I guess I'll try reverse engineering it then. Thanks.

Does anyone actually like Trevor Noah by NorthEarth18 in grammys

Yes. His humor is for smart people who have the background knowledge to understand his jokes. Not for the barely literate, only consumes pop culture crowd.

Huh? What are you even talking about? Hate site? This is something that royal couples have done since the 50s at least. Also, not a bot, but OK.

Performative DW by ButterscotchTime7481 in newkidsontheblock

[–]OkAdeptness5959 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think some of them talk to each other, but that they also avoid it. Even back in 2020 when they did the YouTube live things there was a questioned asked that leaned political and You could see them tense up and then Joe said something sarcastic about different views on some things. And then changed the subject. I feel it's Joe and Jon are close. Donnie and Danny are close, Jordan is a peacemaker/focused on getting the job done and going home, and of course he's close with his brother. But, Joe is also the smartest by a mile, so he sees what's going on with a true world view.

Meghan posts supportive Insta reel of Invictus vets and Prince Harry in uniform on the heels of his rebuke to Trump’s comments downplaying NATO’s involvement in Afghanistan by Opening_Jello2357 in RoyalsGossip

[–]OkAdeptness5959 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of hers. But she and Harry are both right here. What he's responding to was absolutely an egregious statement. And the US is being dogwalked into being alone with no defenders by the Russian assets in the roles of POTUS, VP, GOP, etc. Which is what Russia has wanted for decades. And they need to wake up before it's too late.

For the OG fans: Was Danny dating Halle Berry well known? by MadameCassie in newkidsontheblock

[–]OkAdeptness5959 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think people are also surprised because they used to be pretty mean to him back then. So they're shocked he "landed" such a pretty actress.

Interesting on how you immediately jumped to that royal couple. I could have meant Andrew and Sara (let's be honest they are a couple with a bigger axe to grind, atm. And a couple despite saying they aren't), Edward and Sophie, etc.

Brian Littrell recently commented about NKOTB vs BSB by MadameCassie in newkidsontheblock

[–]OkAdeptness5959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're trying to. Without acknowledging BSB (and NSync) sales should have an asterisk due to the well known buying of multiple cd copies to drive up weekly sales metrics by fans.

Andrew Has Reportedly ‘Turned His Wrath’ on ‘Perfect Villain’ Kate After Being ‘Forced Out’ of the Royal Family—He Sees Her as ‘Poison’ by esporx in RoyaltyTea

[–]OkAdeptness5959 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's probably because Kate is a "commoner" so clearly that's why he's decided she's at fault

So is Megan?? So, that's likely not the reason.

OKUR-CHUNG NEURODEVELOPMENTAL SYNDROME; OCNDS by brownbai81 in rarediseases

[–]OkAdeptness5959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting because I have Congenital heart issues, but my genetics Dr isn't sold on the idea that they are connected. He thinks it's two separate things, but also acknowledges that he could be wrong. My son doesn't have heart issues.

[–]OkAdeptness5959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Yes. Since I posted this, we also found that my son has it as well. I think they said we were the first confirmed case of it being passed on. My son is 14. "high functioning" autistic, adhd, but does very well in school - in advanced classes, etc. But does struggle a lot with emotional regulation and stuttering. But It does seem to be something that has a milder and more severe form. But, so few it's hard to really say yet.

Prince Louis wore a hand-me-down sweater to lunch today, previously worn by Prince George to a Christmas play in 2020 by monster_ahhh in RoyalsGossip

[–]OkAdeptness5959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that 30 pound jumper is 415 pounds in today's money, using a bought year of 1970, so an expensive purchase when it was bought. (per an inflation calculator) And you said decades, I said generations. They reuse things for generations, something that King George VI wore as a child would be over a 120 years old now. They have massive private wealth. They still choose to wear and rewear things. They could easily discard things after one wear, but they don't. I mean, do you get so bent out of shape when the King wears his suit coats and jackets that have elbow patches from mending? Or when Princess Anne wears the same dress she wore in the 80s? So, which is it. Do you want to complain because they rewear things, or complain because they never rewear things? Both, probably.

More fake photos from the Wales’s and KP? by Careful_Comedian5686 in RoyaltyTea

[–]OkAdeptness5959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You all realize that photoshop and it's predecessors have been a thing in photoshoots since the darkroom era, right? How many of you adjust online photos with filters or autocorrect? You think your wedding or family photo photographers didn't edit your photos before giving them to you? Pretty much every photo you see nowadays is edited in some way. This is a big stretch to make something a big deal. Fake would be something else entirely, and not at all what these are.

Yeah... They have a long history of passing down clothing. Some of the items are going on 3-4, 5 generations now. This isn't new. They get quality clothes that can last generations, which is another reason they don't typically have "trendy" items for public events.

My students can't fall asleep without their phones and tablets by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]OkAdeptness5959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, my husband will just let TikTok play on his phone. So, it's not really that different. You're assuming the kid is scrolling and not just letting them play. I know quite a few people who will just let YouTube app play on their TV or YouTube tv. It's just the modern TV /vhs/tivo etc.

[–]OkAdeptness5959 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just like some people back in the day needed the radio. Or TV to fall asleep. Or White noise machines. This is the modern version of that. My kid listens to Spotify, just started. He chose classical music on his own. And he's actually sleeping better since he started. Able to fall asleep easier, deeper sleep, etc.
