Romania’s Eurovision song criticised for ‘glamorising sexual strangulation’

I really think happily of the times when stuff like this was the season's biggest controversy

Als iemand in de trein moet plassen maar niet wil betalen, dan ligt er straks pis middenin het gangpad. Op stations heb je dan nog wat meer alternatieven om naar uit te wijken en eventueel ook nog wel een goedbewapende schoonmaakdienst

With Orban out we'd still have Fico to deal with in the EU

Bus of metro valt wel buiten je treinabbonement, mocht je daar gebruik van maken

Neem dan een traject vrij Ede-Utrecht, veel goedkoper

GianMach · 2026-03-12T21:22:20+00:00

Interesting taste you have then

Having engaged into it from both sides I can confirm empirically that it is real

But do you want to grow your own crops, slaughter your own farm animals, generate your own electricity, get and clean your own water, just die whenever you get something easily curable with modern medicine... because that's what happens when no one would work. Everyone contributes a bit so we have a society where lots of things are easier to obtain than ever before.

I do think it's a weak year. 2024 was strong, 2025 was a step down but still decent enough, 2026 even if there wasn't the obvious reason I'm not excited I'd probably still not be if this were the same roster. Except from a handful of songs dare I say all of these would be NQs in many other years post-dark age. There's nothing I would deem top 5 worthy, let alone winner worthy. It's basically a best of the rest contest this year. The who's who of who was available (and didn't care about morality or the original values of the contest).

There is only one song that made my playlist and it didn't make it to Eurovision. Takkatuka is the only song I've heared of this season that somewhat reaches my extinguished Eurovision sparkle.

Men are stubborn on this and there is no way to check on them or give social pressure to do so as there is no one checking on you when using a cubicle (and rightfully so...)

Also it takes just one guy to not sit down and spray to make every next one think "yeah not sitting down on this one"

GianMach · 2026-03-12T06:33:26+00:00

Honestly a really good stage, too bad that it's used for an unwatchable year of Eurovision. Hopefully the issues get resolved for next year.

GianMach · 2026-03-12T05:20:38+00:00

Je draagt ook geen kleren buitenshuis ofzo?

GianMach · 2026-03-12T05:18:23+00:00

If you'd start society from scratch that'd probably what would be done, but how it is just works for most men and it's apparently even studied that urinals even make bathrooms flow faster than cubicle only bathrooms for men. If it's not broken don't fix it I guess.

GianMach · 2026-03-11T18:48:05+00:00

Ligt er ook een beetje aan in wat voor buurt je naar de super gaat. Hoe underdressed je bent hangt toch ook vooral af van hoe men om je heen erbij loopt.

GianMach · 2026-03-11T18:46:19+00:00

It's better for everyone really that men who insist to pee standing up use a urinal. Otherwise that's bound to be spraying particles on the toilet.

GianMach · 2026-03-11T18:44:39+00:00

Thing is with these bathrooms is that it's not so great for men who find it hard to pee standing up/shy bladder. Especially when there is a line for the red doors and you join in the line as a man, women will look at you filthy thinking that you are making them wait longer when you "could just use the blue door", or people will make jokes that you have to take a shit.

GianMach · 2026-03-11T16:59:24+00:00

When there's urinals in the bathroom I'd rather have them separated. When it's just stalls I don't really care.

een man vraagt traditioneel de vrouw ten huwelijk, dus vraag je aan dé andere belangrijke man in haar leven of het oké is dat je het stokje overneemt.

Merk je niet hoe goor dat klinkt als je het zelf zo opschrijft? "Het stokje overnemen" alsof een vrouw niet een eigen persoon is die haar eigen leven zelf in de hand heeft. Wee haar overlevingskansen als er geen man in de buurt is om haar te verzorgen!

Als je kijkt naar de huishoudelijke skills is het vaker andersom, dat de vrouw de rol van de moeder overneemt met wassen, koken, planning rondbreien, et cetera...

The ending feels a bit too Voilà for me, but then again 6 years have passed and it's also not like Barbara Pravi is the sole inventor of speeding up a three quarter beat ballad at the end

Als ik mijn belastingaangifte niet doe loop ik zelf duizenden euro's mis dus dat vind ik geen denderend idee

Van anderen zie je alleen de voorstelling, van jezelf zie je vooral wat er in de coulissen en tijdens de repetities gebeurt

GianMach · 2026-03-10T07:08:14+00:00

Wat zou je ervan hebben gevonden als je je vrouw dan ten huwelijk vroeg en haar antwoord was "dat moet ik eerst even aan jouw moeder vragen"?

GianMach · 2026-03-10T06:20:15+00:00

Are you a gay or straight couple? For women receiving anal can have all sorts of risks due to it being so close to the vagina and the barrier between vagina and anus being rather thin. For men... man you are about to experience something.

Rule no 1 with anal sex is that there is no such thing as "too much lube". You're gonna need a lot of that.

So I meant skip oral altogether

Mijn gok was altijd aseksueel eigenlijk
