What Pisses You Off?

Not to mention a 50mb clip can take up half a gig of network data if you are on a set limit. Btw "unlimited data" means 5-10 GB's... Fyi my clips there are top quality and not data killers. Always use wifi for streaming.

So some brainiac influencer that calls herself an email coach, says that using words like "just" as in just checking in, should be avoided as they sound apologetic. Fuck that noise stupid lady, I use it frequently and if you know me apologize is not in my vocabulary.

New doesn't always mean better... why can't phone manufacturers leave well enough alone!!!!!!

I can't figure out how to copy youtube links for posting in music threads. NO the "copy link" doesn't help pelham.

Worst thing is my tech guys won't help, they thought they were rid of this site when my last phone just died.

long press on the address bar, select all, copy - usually works for me.
Unless you're viewing vids in an app? Then unless 'view in browser' works you're goosed.

Remember to remove the 's' from the http:// part

^^^^^ Thanks hun but I figured it out. Just switch to desktop mode and the link copy's properly. Thanks though. Hugs



This is a hotel here that has been rented out by a charitable organization which in itself is commendable, it's across the street from the Coliseum, the former home of the Edmonton Oilers (below) . The problem is it's over 80 percent filled with Natives (Injuns) that are basically unhouseable because they are lowlife gangbanger wannabes, drunks, etc, etc... they sleep all day and stir shit all night in and around the hotel.

I feel sorry for the poor tenants that get these fucks as their new neighbors eventually.

I mention this because my girl Char is currently going through the transitional housing process there but she isn't near as hardened as i am and she won't "take names and kick ass" like I would if I were there. I was supposed to be a part of the undercover project but almost died from my covid vaccine that fracked that plan up.

I will say that although I initiated the donation end, Char is in the trenches doing all of the roadwork and to date has helped raise just over 4 million dollars that is entirely earmarked for charity. She us in good spirits entering week 3 of her journey and sends a hello to all here. Okay fine she didn't send a hello because she hates this site lol.

End of rant. Carry on.

[JustKelli]

^^^^^ Correction, Char does say hello and is very impressed with the level of compassion shown when she posted about my "mishap". Further to that I think I created a new dumpster diver in her lol. She is literally obsessed with bottle picking and has made almost 1,000 dollars in recyclables and jewelry found on the streets and in trash cans. I'd still love to hear the reason someone threw a 6,000 dollar diamond ring into the garbage???

If you are scratching your head about the math, she got 850 for the ring at a pawn shop and gave 750 to a church...

Might be the guy was a cheapskate since an engagement ring should be minimum 3 months salary... I'd be leery of a guy that makes 2 grand a month too lol.

There was a time when noise pollution was reserved to boneheads that thought the entire street wanted to hear what was playing on their car stereo. Now every asshole and their dog gets in on the act with Bluetooth speakers... literally, I saw a guy walking his dog that had a speaker around its neck. Someone should tell him dogs can hear well above 25K hertz as compared to humans 20K tops

AND, it's Canada Geese NOT Canadian Geese. I could be wrong but I don't think they hold passports lol.

'Smart' computers!

I'm not sure how I managed it but I clicked wrong on a link & ended up saving usercp.php

Now, when I type 'pl' in the address bar PS/usercp ain't there

However, type 'us' and it does appear

[JustKelli]

^^^^^ Blame the paparazzi for propping them up and giving them the impression that we give a fiddler's fuck what they have to say. It's just noise coming out of them. The whole Monarchy thing is outdated, not to mention that Queenie is in the top 3 most wealthy women in the world from all of their thievery.


As for bullies, there is a special place in hell for them and it's only a matter of time before Karma pays them a visit... I've dealt with a few in my own special way in the past, 2 cops included.

I just had a similar issue and noticed that it traces back to the default "Gboard" that allows Google to pollute our phones and computers. You can switch it off if you go into settings, or replace it with a less invasive one.

I also found by changing my onscreen keyboard to one i chose it gives me more control...

After not being able to copy music links on my new phone i went nuts with trial and error to figure shit out. I had a really smart East Indian guy restart my last Samsung phone that died and he taught me some shortcuts and cheats to get around factory settings. My techs refused to help me as i stated earlier even though I sign their paychecks. They won't make that mistake again if they like their jobs.

Still not impressed with this pricey LG phone I bought but it's still better than that iPhone garbage. iPhone is great if all you want to do is take selfies, although the filming feature has its uses with high quality. But these days a 100 dollar phone has great imaging too. Too many useless bells and whistles on most phones AND holy shit, you can actually make phone calls on all cellphones lol.

It is full 5G though which has its advantages but isn't necessary in most daily operations even though the providers say otherwise. Fuck them too lol.

I texted my Char once from across the room and she threw her phone at me lol.

Be it as it may, but your Queen is 92 years old and still works every day, yet her Canadian subjects don't pay a single penny to her.

According to Forbes, Queen Elizabeth II had an estimated net worth of $530 million as of 2016. Forbes also reports the British monarchy "contributes nearly £1.8 billion to the UK economy" annually, including £550 million in tourism.

Most of the British monarchy's wealth is derived from inherited lands and investments. British taxpayers also support the royal family through a "sovereign grant" issued by the treasury. The royal family is old money. Centuries-old money, to be exact. British taxpayers support the family through a "sovereign grant" issued by the treasury. This year's grant will come out to $104.8 million. That's about 65 pence per year per taxpayer,

The treasury doles out a lump sum — known as the sovereign grant — to the queen.The sovereign grant is meant to cover the expenses Queen Elizabeth II racks up in her official duties as monarch, including travel, entertaining, and property maintenance,

This comes out to 15% of the annual profit of the Crown Estates. The amount granted to the monarch cannot decrease from the previous year, even if the Crown Estate fares poorly. The National Audit Office has free reign to audit the grant.

The arrangement hasn't always been without snarls. The grant came under review in 2015, essentially because the queen was making too much money, The grant jumped from 15% to 25% of Crown Estate profits, to pay for Buckingham Palace renovations.

Queen Elizabeth II also has her own personal income: She has an estimated private wealth of $530 million. — and paid income tax for the first time after a fire devastated her favorite castle in 1992. The law of the land dictates, she doesn't have to pay any taxes on her wealth."The sovereign is not legally liable for income, capital-gains or inheritance tax," .

That expectation changed after one of her favorite residences, Windsor Castle, was devastated in a 1992. The fire sparked controversy over who would foot the bill for the damages. Ultimately, Queen Elizabeth began paying taxes on her income. she was the first monarch to pay taxes since the 1930s.

Her Majesty, also makes "voluntary payments to the UK tax authority HM Revenue and Customs" in lieu of capital gains tax and inheritance tax. The sovereign grant itself is tax-exempt.

The Queen herself doesn't personally own national treasures like the Crown Jewels or the Tower of London. Such national treasures are part of the royal collection, which the monarch holds in trust for the nation. The collection is made up of thousands of paintings, tapestries, pieces of furniture, photographs, and other objects, spread out between numerous royal residences. Certain palaces, like Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, are also held in trust.

She does personally own certain items in the collection, including an immense royal stamp collection; her father King George V passed down to her. She also privately owns the $65 million country house, Sandringham House, and the $140 million Scottish estate Balmoral Castle.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles derive income from two duchies with medieval roots — which were both caught up in the Paradise Papers leak.

The Duchy of Lancaster — a private estate initially established for John of Gaunt, the younger son of King Edward III — has been handed down from monarch to monarch since 1399. Funds from the duchy pour into the Crown's Privy Purse — or private income.

It is a rumour that $12 million of the queen's private money from this duchy was invested offshore, in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. some of that money also went to, "the company behind BrightHouse, a chain accused of irresponsible lending, and Threshers, which went bust owing £17.5m in UK tax."

The 680-year-old Duchy of Cornwall is inherited by the eldest son of the reigning monarch. Back in 2007, the duchy bought $113,500 of shares in Sustainable Forestry Management Ltd. The Bermuda-based company stood to benefit from a change in climate change policy. Prince Charles advocated for the change "... and his estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, tripled its investment in Sustainable Forestry in the space of a year." Both royals voluntarily pay taxes on their incomes.

The Crown hasn't always been under such scrutiny in regards to its finances, amassing enormous wealth over the centuries, largely through land acquisitions and conquest.The Crown's wealth has historically flowed from inherited properties acquired through centuries of conquest, forfeiture, and purchases.

The practice of establishing Crown lands or land belonging to the monarch dates all the way back to the Norman conquest: Duke William of Normandy ie: William the Conqueror. (Blois family). Different rulers have gained and lost land over the years, as the cost of governance grew overtime.

When King George III took the throne in 1760, the way in which royal finances were managed underwent a major change. Parliament began to pay for the entirety of the "Civil List" — government expenditures and royal household costs traditionally handled by the monarch. In exchange, Parliament would receive the "hereditary revenues" of the king's Crown Estate.

While the Crown Estate is "owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign," it is not their private property and "cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch."

[JustKelli]

^^^^^ Stop, put down the koolaid lol. Let me guess, you have the entire commemorative monarchy plate collection set lol.

That is her personal net worth not Crown value which is erroneous at best and is a doctored figure that a really good accountant "cooked up". During the Reagan era that number was closer to 3 billion but miraculously shrunk.

The 28 billion that the "Firm" (Crown) controls has some fancy assets in the cracks of its holdings that in fact have shaky origins and interesting deed holders... and yes i know they can't sell such things as Buckingham Palace that they control but "follow the money".

I have a minor in finance so I know more than some how to "hide easter eggs" lol. Not to mention asset "management" that my investment company specializes in, not to avoid taxes but to limit liability and risk.

We pay dearly psychologically by having to look at her likeness hanging in every government building including courts lol.

Don't get me wrong, I love the UK and Ireland, the monarchy not so much. Just sayin'

---------------

I'm sure I'm not alone with this one and it's not this site's fault but we are seeing this more and more daily here due to YouTube going off the rails with policy changes that they should have dealt with years ago to avoid the barrage they are implementing now all at once causing upheaval...
