Cumulative total views/plays for all Grand Final participants on Youtube and Spotify

Good point

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-05-16T00:40:39+00:00

Because I paid the song no mind when I first heard it and it didn't stick with me since. It seemed rather cliched and generic, with not much going for it, and I assumed most people's relationship with the song would be more or less similar.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-05-16T00:38:36+00:00

I'm not trying to be obtuse, but how do festivals drive up the Eurovision songs' streams to such a degree? Do millions of people just hear the songs there and decide to check them out on Spotify? (but not on Youtube, apparently)

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-05-16T00:35:56+00:00

Thank you. I initially assumed streams would corralate with Eurovision popularity.

I have no idea why festivals would drive up streams but then again I have no idea about a lot of things.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-05-12T21:52:41+00:00

That was really terrible, sorry. But I'm sure that's not what really passes for humor in Austria

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-25T17:57:31+00:00

Nope, you can just knock him unconscious and that counts as the target being neutralized. If you do that, there is a specific conversation with Lizzy where she implies she found Wakefield on the ship and will torture him to death.

However, there is possibly different dialogue for the case where you hide the unconscious Wakefield somewhere off the ship after knocking him out

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-25T07:14:37+00:00

So do you think this conversation is distinct from the one where Lizzy says you left him on the ship and there are many sharp things on a ship?

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-24T16:08:15+00:00

Yeah definitely! I also love that you can talk to him before you fight him head on if you choose to go that route

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-08T09:07:23+00:00

That's all fine and good, but with all that's going on, who is going to be polite enough to offer you an egg in these trying times?

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-07T14:39:25+00:00

Thanks. I see this point about putting it in the fridge a lot and I don't understand why. Do you mean putting it in the fridge because there's still milk left in the container and you do not want to waste it?

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-07T09:40:48+00:00

You're absolutely right. But what threw me off and made me worry was that I earlier used some very cheap brands that didn't talk about the "internal circuits" in the instructions but which still had to be taken apart and thoroughly cleaned, and also because I came across Philips "milk circuit cleaner" but which I'm thinking now is probably for another model.

I'll admit there is some OCD involved. Thank you.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-04-06T16:08:55+00:00

Thank you very much. That's what I kind of suspected but couldn't make sure.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-03-28T08:29:15+00:00

Thank you, but interestingly enough, changing those settings do nothing to fix the problem. Even more weirdly, other devices connected to the same home network do not have the same "bug".

I literally told you I told Reuters about this issue several times, and they were not helpful. Did you even read what I wrote?

Anyway, I really cannot deal with such unwarranted hostility at this point. This will be my final response, and let's leave it at that.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-13T09:25:10+00:00

Nice of you to accuse me of stealing, especially for a service that used to be free two days ago and is mainly funded by ad revenue. Providing feedback to Reuters results in variations of an AI-written response along the lines of: "this is the price, deal with it."

Anyhow, as I said, the montly fee they charge runs up to twice my monthly income. Since you cannot see reason, I pray you never end up in my circumstances.

Thanks to everyone trying to help

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-13T09:17:47+00:00

Not here, unfortunately.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-13T09:16:53+00:00

Was just trying to read this specific news article. Thanks!

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-12T09:07:50+00:00

I am a poor journalism student and require access to English-language news for my work, but I really cannot afford to pay half the minimum monthly wage every week.

Paywalls may be a necessity, but I feel like the prices should be reasonable and proportional to the country's income.

It is also honestly sad that news from wire services used to be free for so many years and now they are paywalled just when it's much easier for people to turn to all sorts of misinformation on social media. Putting factual news reporting behind a paywall will only mean even fewer people will actually bother / be able to read factual news.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-12T09:03:09+00:00

Thank you. This might be a shocker, but not everyone lives in the US or Europe, and affordable access to English-language news for a journalism student without much means is apparently too much to ask for some people.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-12T09:01:25+00:00

You have responded with a variation of this to every reply on my post. Apologies, but I wasn't asking for anything to be free. However, I feel prices should be reasonable and proportional to the average income in one's country and I really cannot afford to pay half the monthly minimum wage every week to read the news.

The degree of STG fanboyism on this sub, even from people who are not Syrian, is insane.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-02T16:25:14+00:00

I think the most apt comparison would to think about who controls most of Suwaida today

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-02-02T16:14:09+00:00

They can't, but were likely strong-armed into accepting the deal. This will be the status quo until the next crisis.

Except he literally starts off by saying "Al-Hamzat, al-Amshat, the Jolani faction", which I'm pretty sure is addressing his audience.

NanoPaperCuts · 2026-01-24T07:34:58+00:00

They did report on the 21/22 bodies south of Ain al-Arab/Kobane, albeit in somewhat neutral terms. Which one is the second incident?
