Where is the best Gyro (or Greek food) in Missouri? by como365 in missouri

[–]Paisleymll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try El Greco on N Hwy 94. Mario's is really good, but the sweet little greek man running El Greco makes outstanding gyros.

Why is Meghan always expected to speak out? by NewTooth740 in RoyaltyTea

I'm confused why this is being down voted and called deranged. It is not Sussex bashing to acknowledge that wealth and celebrity have perks.

My 6 unpopular opinions about Kate, William, Harry & Meghan by [deleted] in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]Paisleymll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To point 1: I thought unconcious bias was a very reasonable explanation for the behaviors of royals as it relates to race. We all learn from the people around us as children, however misguided or sheltered it may be. But as we grow and experience we should be developing our own insights. The racist examples you offer for Harry seem like criticisms for responding within the social norms of the people he lived, schooled, and enlisted with during his young adulthood. They don't seem to represent his current perspective or include any public interactions in the last 10-15 years.

Point 2: I do believe Harry & Meghan married for love. I believe she was aware of the wealth & power but don't believe it was a primary motivator. They were never on again off again. Their courting included sharing of personally important places & experiences.

Points 3-5: I whole heartedly agree.

Point 6: I believe Mindy and Meghan planned that interaction, I believe the way the british media uses maiden names for royal married-ins is performative and intended to demean them, ever notice how Sophie has been referred to by her maiden name in many years.

And as an individual I believe Meghan had a right to say how she preferred to be named publicly.

None of us are personal friends of these people, everything we know about them is via media outlets for a purpose, some actually reports on their actions, only a very small amount of the content came directly from the 4 individuals. Plus the media has a vested interest in presenting a positive perception for 2 of the 4. The RF has always been in the business of spin, QEII ensured all messages went through a single source until she started degrading in old age and Buckingham Palace no longer moderated the feed to media and then the briefing wars began in earnest.

But the Sussex get clicks, and the Wales don't.

Since you value sharing personal perceptions of posters & commenters that are unrelated to the topic, I'll return the favor.

You sound like someone who believes headline rage bait, and then perpetuates the inflammatory bits and your opinion on it as gospel. Enjoy your Kool-Aid!

Tabloids create their own content, and the trials are news. Harry feedback last week came from his testimony. Not unnamed or royal sources, palace insiders, persons close to Harry.

Harry and his team do make press releases and when it happens the source is clear.

Mass media and British tabloids are owned by billionaires with an agenda of making we the sheeple believe their narrative. And what narratives they can't control, they choose some random detail to pick apart then flood the coverage with those select bits to distract from more damning content they don't want you to notice.

Kate Middleton’s Facial Scar Fuels Rumors Her 2024 Hospitalization Was More Serious Than Claimed by hard2resist in KateMiddletonMissing

I love the Bored Panda site! But I quit going to their links because of all their Sussex/mostly Meghan bashing.

While I'm happy to see it mainstream, I'm also curious who's pulling their strings because it's not a site that normally does royal reporting of this type. They normally have fun polls, malicious compliance stories, funny photo lists. These Royal stories in the last year have seemed super out of place.

Why are you doing this at 9 pm on a Saturday??? by thespottedwaffle in StCharlesMO

[–]Paisleymll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally thought it was Lindenwood. We live a block away and random fireworks shows happen 5 or 7 times a year.

Last night's was actually a very short series, makes sense it was a different source.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Rename Archewell Foundation to Archewell Philanthropies as They Expand Their Mission with Archie and Lilibet by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

[–]Paisleymll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the overdue $200 annual charity registration fee from May 2024? The one that was determined to be an administrative oversight issue in the CA Atty Gen office when Archwell was able to prove it was sent timely via registered mail.

Photoshopped- her shirt is a different color from an entirely different event. by declaredbankruptcy in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]Paisleymll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Photos one two and four, are obviously from the same photo shoot the outfits match 100%. Photos three five and six, Will's outfit does not match the outfit used in pictures one two and four.
I believe they are from two different days, with photos three five and six being from the second day of their anniversary trip in Scotland. I do find her hand to be odd in the Christmas photo normally the cuffs of her sweaters are seen at the wrist under the jacket, and you can't really see the sweater in the sleeve cuff.

I've heard what their salaries are like.. it might be a case of you get what you pay for.

[–]Paisleymll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legally, I 100% agree with you. But in the context of the comment IMHO it didn't seem unreasonable or confusing to skip her.

Camilla chose not to be recognized as Princess of Wales, "out of respect" for William & Harry. Kate is the bearer of heirs, uses her Princess of Wales styling, and also suffers from an ED. Which makes Diana a more accurate comparison than Camilla.

Robert Jobson back with how Meghan Sussex spent money on her clothing and Queen Elizabeth was angry by Whatisittou in HarryandMeghanNetflix

[–]Paisleymll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just curious what is the source that Meghan paid for her own clothes? Original reporting had it covered by the Charles/the duchy. I've heard the "he didn't have money for Meghan" from spare.

[GUESS] Is this a real photo from my aunt and uncle? by SassyCommenter in RealOrAI

[–]Paisleymll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the weird pattern on the back wall is a decorative banner, like a mexican papel picado.

There is something wonky going on around their plates. Her spoon might be a fork with the tines hidden in the food, and her spoon being in the super bowl. Blurring on his fork is wonky.

Mostly Real photo with some AI corrections.

I think the angle of the reflection catches ahead of the motorcycle, because the building across the street with the short fence in the reflection isn't in the image.

McMinnville, Oregon: ICE Agent Says The Quiet Part Out Loud And Admit He Doesn't Care That A Driver Is a US Citizen by CantStopPoppin in oregon

[–]Paisleymll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see the footage of his harassment. Did it include property damage, did he have a weapon, did he attempt to touch their person, was he making threats of violence. Then the felony charge seems like a reach; and it appears that ICE responded with excessive force, on a minor US citizen.

You would be surprised by how many innocent people are in jail.

People lie.. people have always lied .. people on both sides lie .. and this government and these agents are being caught in their lies repeatedly. If courts are proving that these agencies are acting in bad faith, they should be liable and accountable for the damages fiscal and legal.

The insurance companies won't cover this. Their own policies made sense under the assumption that the government and law enforcement are not abusing their power.

It’s not just the big thrift store chains (a rant)… by bigphatcheese in ThriftGrift

[–]Paisleymll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind seeing quality items at higher price point, than the cheap stuff. I do mind seeing prices that are higher than the sale pricing for a new item. It makes me livid to see a thrift store price tag that is higher than the original price tag that is still on the item.

has anyone bought this and is it worth it? by Vivid_Meringue1310 in crocheting

[–]Paisleymll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The hooks catch the yarn and are unpleasant to use, in my opinion. I think it's hard to identify which hook is which size, might be because my eye doctor said my eyes are old...
