The World Reacts To Queen Elizabeth II’s Passing (50 Tributes)

I'm getting 3 monarchs in my lifetime, at least.

He just lost his mother.

He's 73 so it's also inaccurate.

A lot of us use humor to cope or deal with stuff. This isn't supposed to be disrespectful, it is just something to give a little outlet for the humor coping people.

Seriously no sense of humor? Have you seen the internet? There's more bashing memes around than not. Not saying I do it, but the internet is full of insensitive bashing stuff all the time.

I have heard this. Isn't Andrew the one who slept with under aged girls and involved with Jeffery Epstein?

But there is a difference between coping and making fun about someone who just lost a close relative, but that's only my opinion

I have been banned twice for innocuous comments because someone downvoted. I think there is a problem with the policy, BP.

We're going to need this reminder today...

I got banned for defending LGBTQIA+ users. This site is really starting to scare me as it supports censorship yet posts listicles where people from all around the world and background are going to have drastically different opinions. I have been with this site since it first started and it was a really tolerant place that promoted artwork and funny articles. Now I can't even post without fearing I'm going to lose my account of seven years. It's really sad that BoredPanda has chosen to go down this route.

So basically the downvote button is a report button? Not a good choice to do it that way.

I've been banned temporarily for downvotes. I agree with you!

Maybe people reading this should email hello@boredpanda.com and let them know how ridiculous their voting system is (politely). They need a report button and shouldn't simply use the downvote instead as that's not how it works anywhere else (to my knowledge anyway). Especially when they do nothing to let us know this is how it works here. I just searched the site for anything on how their voting system works and everything I find makes it look like it works the same as anywhere else. They published a page about the "new" points system and tell you how to keep track of how many up & down-votes you get with no warning whatsoever that too many downvotes will get you banned so they're not discouraging downvotes at all. If someone in a fragile state of mind gets banned from the comments section over an innocent comment it could tip them over the edge. BP need to change their system rather than expecting everyone else to change the way they vote. (feel free to downvote if you disagree)

Hi Bored Retsuko, well said! We have already had the opportunity to talk about this absurd policy and I am pleased that you continue to emphasize our reasons.

I didn't know that. It all makes sense now.

So glad you said something as I didn't know this. Yes, I totally agree that it should be changed.

Maybe we could not hijack this very moving post with irrelevant comments.

Already downvoted yours. Stop telling people what to do, pretentious prick.

This is the first image that has done that for me. I think we're all going to be looking at the gap her passing has left.

Oh, I never heard that one! Thank you for sharing it.

That would be David Blunkett (the blind HS, not the dog)

I just love that she said that!

Linda Csapo: Every loving pet owner shares this pain.

I can’t pretend I understand due pain, but I feel the same about mine who passed 2 years ago. Every single day I think of his face and his presence

I know this exact feeling. My German Shepherd died in 2010 and she was my heart-dog. I wanted to die when she died as well, but I stayed because I still had a cat - who had loved my dog as much as I did. It took 12 years for me to heal. But this year, I met a puppy who desperately needed me as much as I needed him - and now I have another love in my heart. :) Someday you will find the next right dog. Dog people always do - we are dog people for life.

Same with crying out loud. I'm beloved by my family and (hopping) by my friends too, but the lost od my dog passed out at 2019 Is so painful I can't have another. Maybe your mourn about your pet could be healed by adopting a new pet... But I can't imagine to have a new dog and also can't imagine to lost another friend...

I feel the same way, the only thing that makes me think about the afterlife is the hope that my dog is waiting for me

I send you so much love Linda! :-*

That’s so sad: animals do, though, give sincere, unremitting, unconditional love.

My Rottweiler-Beagle mix, J, died exactly 12 years ago this week. He was truly my best friend and I think of him every single day. Now I have 5 chihuahuas, any dog over 50 or 60 pounds makes me think of J :( So now I'm surrounded by tiny little rat dogs lol

A class act all the way.

Quite the contrast to Trump's tweet about it. Obama is eloquent and classy.

That's because he's got a brain and a heart
