I haven’t watched it the last few years because I can’t stomach the idea that a genocidal state is allowed to compete :/ I love Eurovision but the EBU has made all the wrong decisions. They were even going to let Russia compete in 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, until public outrage forced their hand. They claim the competition is neutral but guess what? Allowing Israel, a country actively committing genocide who isn’t even a part of fucking Europe is a political statement whether you like it or not


Eurovision is huge in Australia. People get up in the middle of the night to watch it. So in 2016, the contest’s 60th anniversary, they allowed Australia to compete for funsies.
Everyone agreed they understand Eurovision perfectly so they were allowed to stay.
A Walmart employee should not be held to the same standards as a professional athlete lol

Pound. It literally says so


It’s insane how expensive fish is in Iceland. Yay fishing monopoly!


It’s important to mention that the vast majority of pizza eaten in Norway is frozen pizza. Grandiosa is the most popular brand and it costs about as much as a restaurant pizza anywhere else
Yup they’re dangerous as fuck. My mom (kindergarten director) once visited a kindergarten in Svalbard, Norway where there’s a rifle hanging on the wall above where the kids get dressed.
The idea being that if a polar bear wanders towards the village, it’s essential to be able to fight it off and protect the children.
Polar bears will absolutely try to hunt you. They’ll eat anything that moves. The only way to deal with a polar bear is a gun.


Steve Jobs was an insane asshole who created the kind of toxic work culture which defines Silicon Valley.
In addition, when reheating liquidy food, you should try using a lower power level for a longer period of time. This tends to heat it more evenly.

Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.
Not having to worry about money is being rich.
Owning a nation’s GDP’s worth of money is being a fucking cunt.


As an Icelander, I just know if Trump gets Greenland he won’t stop there. He’ll try to take Iceland too. I’m scared.
I was exaggerating to make a point. But one of the main reasons why I switched to Firefox (about a year ago) was because it was eating up so much of my CPU.
It also eats up like 99% of your CPU


Republicans don’t give a shit about anything other than owning the libs. That’s their entire ideology.
Trump’s ideology is doing whatever it takes to give Donald Trump the most amount of power.
