Comment on CONSTANTLY being one upped by Uncle Ronnie
tyler@programming.dev 15 hours agoHuh? In what way aren’t they part of your bloodline? Unless you’re talking about uncles that are married into the family, but otherwise they’re literally blood relatives.

Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood.

I can’t find any definition that says that. Where are you finding that definition. Bloodline is relatives by blood, uncles are relatives by blood, hence why uncles could gain the throne in any bloodline inheritance society.

A bloodline is a direct line of descent or pedigree, representing a sequence of ancestors from which a person or animal inherits characteristics.
There I took 30 seconds to find the actual definition.

TIL, I never would have thought it had to be a direct line. My uncle has more of a DNA match to me than my great great grandparents. Weird word.
