My old ass 2000s meme brain reading the word herpetology: "Herp derp"

I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country's politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

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.

A Walmart employee should not be held to the same standards as a professional athlete lol

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 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.

You want a potentially innocent man to go to prison, potentially for life, because you're tired of hearing about him? What a profoundly moronic statement.

Thank you, that website annoyed the hell out of me

Countries with free housing for homeless people, and programs to help them quit doing drugs and get an income, have way less homeless people.
Elon could end all homelessness with what to him is pocket change if he wanted to. The fact that he, or any of these disgusting parasites choose not to, means they're literal monsters.

Steve Jobs was an insane asshole who created the kind of toxic work culture which defines Silicon Valley.

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.

My point exactly. US politics have become so divided that a sitting president would never be found guilty by his own party members, which would be necessary for conviction considering how the two parties always get near-equal amount of representatives. The system is stacked so that an impeachment will never have any effect on a sitting president.

Oh ok, that's disappointing then :/
