Will submit towards the end of the month, after vacation

Believe he means covid restrictions.

Had lupus for most of the 1990s, started suffering from vertigo in 2007, sold her house back in 2018. Tough old broad.

Actually, this might help explain where I was coming from, in regards to the word "significant", because I would argue that Hitler's actual death wasn't all that significant because of when it occurred. It came at the tail end of the war, after he had been totally defeated, and had no more potential to harm anyone but those in the bunker with him. The most significant death, of the 20th century, was undoubtedly Archduke Franz Ferdinand's. His assassination completely reshaped the western world and Hitler isn't even a person of historical note without it.

What he said

Tried to use the word "meaning" because I, wrongly, thought it would have a more practical application than "significance". Trying to give either of these words a practical application has been my mistake.

We weren't doing that, at all, and I made that clear in a previous post.

Oh, did she die? Also... what do her real powers entail in these nations?

Seems what's happening here, actually, is that we've different thoughts on the meaning of "significant"... in which case @En Passant is absolutely correct that this " is a stupid overly repetitive load of shite that will still be being argued here when hell freezes over."

Funny, because I was making that same argument about the UK. Britain's royals have zero meaning outside the UK.

Not to get technical but you forgot to remove the 330 million from the 7.9 billion.

Which is understandable. My original point was the Philip wasn't really "significant", whether he's well known or not. Used DMX as an example because he just died as well and has, seems to me at least, to have garnered more attention in the US than the ancient royal.

A. Phil's death has absolutely zero meaning to any non-death-poolers outside of Great Britain... and, I would have hoped, most within. B. DMX's big hit (nearest I can tell, as I don't listen to rap) is from 2003 so the "still in school" jab is poorly thought out, from a timeline standpoint.

How do you figure? Nearest I can tell he served no significant purpose to anything and, not that I'm a fan, but DMX moved the needle far more on this side of the pond.
