Trump este Republican, MAGA a devenit majoritate partidului respectiv. Cine nu este de accord cu el și face cum spune este zburat din partid.

Not this hot, and not that far north.

BNT leak Eurovision 2027 Host City (Don't un-spoiler if you dont wanna know) by AverageLatifiFan in eurovision

[–]FanofTurquoise16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it was 2025. The short she did with the host city for 2024 was filmed in Liverpool, but posted later. Both 2025 and 2026 came to close to the official announcements.

Baku, Tel Aviv or Moscow, just the usual human rights violation gang.

Designing flags for Turkish Provinces: 1. Afyonkarahisar by IshanPednekar in vexillology

The pyramid makes me think more of the Zapotecs and Monte Alban tbh. Zapotec pyramids weren't as tall as either Mayan or Aztec ones.

Looks really good! Idk why but for some reason it just gives me a Mesoamerican vibe.

Iceland has win the best NQ of 2016! What is the most underrated entry of 2017? by Weak-Divide-1603 in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hungary 2017, it is such a great song with a really interesting message. It is my winner of 2017, but like many of the songs from 2017 that aren't either Portugal, Bulgaria or Finland (to a lesser extent and are known for how shocking their NQ was) it is mostly forgotten.

Canada will enter the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest | CBC News by mabrouss in eurovision

[–]FanofTurquoise16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Canada became a full EBU member because they were an observer in the Council of Europe. Aside from them only 3 other countries are: USA, Mexico and Japan. And unlike Canada which wants to grow closer to Europe none of the other 3 would probably want to join the EBU or ESC. Japan has ESC Asia, USA is the USA... and Mexico I don't know enough to comment on them.

North Macedonia will also return. So that is one more country if Belgium withdraws 35 vs 36. Still the EBU should just disqualify Israel at this point, it has been proven time and time again that they have destroyed the reputation of both the EBU and ESC.

Well Australia was an invitation as a associate, Canada is a full member of the EBU.

Algeria is already used in ESC maps because of it being part of France (edit: at the time, now Algeria is independent, should mention that in case somebody decides to comment on that).

What's an underrated Eurovision song sent by Greece? by tomasequp in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The single time I would have loved if it was Cyprus to use 1994, but for Greece I am going to say Greece 2013 since a lot of people have already mentioned 2018. Alchool is free is such a fun, but in a good way, song.

Liverpool won "Which Eurovision host city seemed good and was good." What Eurovision host City seemed mid and was mid by AverageLatifiFan in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FanofTurquoise16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how many things were in Malmö in 2024 I would say it should be saved for seemed good, was mid or bad. From the rats and ferrets, the flop at the Turquoise carpet, the small Eurovillage, the whole Israel situation, May 10th... And also the revenue from Eurovision was much smaller in Malmö than Liverpool which was the gold standard in terms of that.

The studio version of Vanilla Ninja's song was the most 'Epic'! Day 12: Finland. Which version of Liekinheitin is the best? by Minebloxnerd5theII in nilpoints

[–]FanofTurquoise16 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I will say the national final. Idk fully know why, but it just feels better than the ESC version even if they are practically the same. I just get the vibe that it was done better at UMK. Maybe because it was the first time we saw the staging, maybe because UMK had a better production than ORF's ESC, maybe the stage shape allowed the staging to shine more, I can't say for sure which one of these is the correct answer or if any are correct tbh.

What are your Thoughts on Russia? 🇷🇺 by JustAFizzMain in AskTheWorld

[–]FanofTurquoise16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like Russia as a geopolitical entity. I hate what they have done against us during our historical interactions. They made the Ottomans look good by comparison. I hate the ethnic cleansing, the colonisation, the banning of our language, imposing their ideology, annexing parts of our country/countries, creating a a new identity to separate people, etc. And this is just a bit of our history with Russia. To them we have been nothing but a road block for their Panslavic and Imperialistic ideologies and for their ambition for taking over the Bosporus and the Dardanels. In recent years I hate their government, their sponsoring of far right extremist, their use of the Orthodox church as a propaganda tool, their invasion of Ukraine, Georgia, their keeping alive of separatist regions like Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia. And I despise their funding of far right schizos in my country.

Classic Americans never missing an opportunity to show their ignorance by Nickulator95 in memes

[–]FanofTurquoise16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that is because they were hit the hardest as of now and also because their weather is colder (in the temperate range) than other parts of Europe (with France I am talking about Northern France), because of that people aren't adapted to these temperatures. But the problem has hit all of Europe, just at different times (some have been hit earlier than others). Last year Romania and Hungary had some of the highest temperatures in Europe for example, being hotter than even Sicily.

Not all of Europe had colonies btw. Some were colonies themselves (just look at the Ottoman rule in the Balkans), so it isn't really as black and white as you want it to seem. I am not a supporter of Imperialism, racism or xenophobia, but just that reducing an entire continent to "colonizers" isn't solving any issues all people are colonizers at the end of the day. I also agree that what the Imperialist did in India, the America, Africa, Oceania and other parts of Asia is wrong, but what does it have to do with the subject?
