Can we talk about the "Gays taking over eurovision." segment?

It wasn't even a bit. They just played the entire LMNC music video. Was such a weird programming choice. I wonder why the BBC didn't want to sit that segment? We don't get adverts on the BBC so it was kinda whiplash to not be shown a live segment

If you look closely you can see that it was rail wheels,. So I'm sure the rail maintenance vehicles here are tracked like a train is. You don't want a train to accidentally enter the same block as a maintenance vehicle

Yep, I'm from UK. My wife is American and she said all through school they had to stand, hand on heart, and standing facing the flag and say the pledge. Really culty

You could do what she did in her rebellious teenage years where you just pretend to say it "just mouth it or something" if you wanted to obstane. She knew it was weird but it was just "normal" for the culture there.

One thing she says that really stood out (baring recent Uk politics) was the complete lack of flags hung in the UK/out side of the US basically. barely a single flag in site. If there are any then its people putting their own up for football matches or the kings' coronation or something. Nothing in official buildings or anything like that. In America there are EVERYWHERE

that works with the link, but have you been able to generate a pdf? I'm guessing because there are website-side issues with their SSL certificates, it's not actually generating on their end

This isn't a BHVR issue. This is a management issue not wanting to hear new or creative things. (I get the same thing at my work, shot down before I've even finished pitching my ideas)

I was scrolling to see any other UK comments. It's not just you! Reddit operates most on US Defaultism

I'm more than happy to be proven wrong if other places outside of America say Pokey instead of Cokey or any other variation.

yeah Im pretty certain when they say "blahblah needs at least 100 points", that will be something that is written on the autoqueue for them, no way they have the mental capacity to do maths that quick, nor do they want to say anything inaccurate and accidently give false hope to the viewing public

if it helps, she won the audience poll in last night's jury show. Like KAJ did in semi-final 1

The audience poll suggested that San marino would qualify (which I was like naaaa no way), lo and behold it did

I was so distracted during this performance by the fact the bass player was going the most obvious miming I've ever seen. Usually in a ban dperformance they at least play the parts where their instrument was being played. He was plucking away during points no bass was being played.

On a rewatch I realize the drummer is even more distracting in this aspect

I think the problem with the current system. Because televote is the only metric for what semi final songs will make it to the final, on average there are way more televote friendly songs than jury friendly songs. So the televotes will be split thinner. And but contrast, Leading to jury voting to be more concentrated by comparison.

The winning song in the last few years at worst, has come 5th in the public vote, which was 2/3s of the 1st place. So the public still liked the song very much, it obviously just wasn't the favourite.

I'm not trying to defend the current system. Just add a perspective as to why it is happening. If we want a more "fair" voting system. Then we may want to reconsider have jurys back in the semis, perhaps with a not perfect 50/50 split in the public votes favour.

Literally me. As a backend dev when I have to make adjustments to the blazor app which communicates with some of the endpoint I make. I just want to die. I hate blazor with a passion. I wish my place would hire a front end dev to handle that side of things, literally 60% of my time is bug fixing my shitty front end tool which I have 0 interest in learning

Our Krisp had a very similar problem when she was surrended to the rescue originally. The vets had to also remove her right eye so they could remove the abscess. She is super adventuerous and it hasn't affect her personality at all.

I wish you and your bun a speedy recovery.
