It’s the same as his approach to Covid. If we stop testing, we don’t know how many cases there are and can therefore pretend it doesn’t exist anymore

There’s already an American Song Contest, and no one has heard about it or cares about it.

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.

The Norwegian prison system emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. Norwegian prisons are generally decent places. Turns out that treating prisoners like human beings makes them much less likely to reoffend and go back to prison.

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.

I bought Immortals: Fenyx Rising for about 8 bucks the other day while it was on sale. Honestly great value, I’ve already put in 30 hours and I’m not even halfway finished with it

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.

That’s because a) the EU is a coalition of many different countries who all have their own flags, and b) we don’t fetishize our flags nearly as much as Americans. Many countries have laws against putting the flag on merchandise, because it’s seen as disrespectful.

Thanks, it’s my only tattoo so far lol

Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.

I have a Celtic knot tattoo on my forearm (actually it’s the album cover of King Crimson’s album Discipline).
My British friend told me I shouldn’t display that in public in the UK because people might think I’m a neonazi.
I’m like fuck no, Celtic symbols don’t belong to Nazis and I won’t let them have it! Also, it’s a prog album cover wtf

Still not as rich as the USA.
China’s GDP is 17.79 trillion dollars compared to the USA’s 27,36 trillion.
There’s plenty of money to invest in public infrastructure, but no one wants to do it.

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.
