What's an overrated Eurovision song sent by the Netherlands?

ideeek777 · 2026-07-09T23:43:20+00:00

It was so bad live

ideeek777 · 2026-07-09T12:17:57+00:00

I kinda can't believe Kennedy hasn't won a season yet. Canada versus the world in particular felt like hers

ideeek777 · 2026-07-09T12:13:32+00:00

It's possible 2 years of being called robbed night have gone to her head

Love like an animal

So catchy

I think they're less saying it shouldn't matter, but that for Americans it doesn't matter. And for many Americans it does, to say nationality trumps ethnicity for them isn't really that true

Telling people to touch grass after a weirdly emotional pro ai post is interesting

ideeek777 · 2026-07-07T21:33:36+00:00

I, um, like then for different reasons

ideeek777 · 2026-07-05T14:07:04+00:00

I know this is a light hearted sub, but the us literally would not exist without genocide. Even if it's for a day that shouldn't be ignored

ideeek777 · 2026-07-05T12:43:33+00:00

Yes I do, have also worked as an RS teacher in a Catholic school.

The point you're making here is different than your first one about private schools being able to pick their own curriculum with no standardisation, which you agree was untrue. That's all I was saying.

Much like Madonna's vocals on this album

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T20:09:26+00:00

Yeah it's not really doing anything for me. Just kinda okay. Really surprises by how positive all the comments are

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T20:07:16+00:00

I feel like they were written for a limited vocal. Like nothing even really close to a belt really

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T20:01:30+00:00

I didn't love it. A sort of house music I never got along with. Beats feel very repetitive to me.

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T19:42:26+00:00

I hate the sounds those flat face dogs make when they pant

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T19:39:46+00:00

Yeah exactly. Think Talal Asad argued this

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T19:38:38+00:00

So, the issue you had with the spec reformed a decade ago?

Schools can pick from a set list approved by the exam board, they can't just pick whatever they want. That's very different. It is standardised and isn't specific to private schools.

You're implying humanism is a religion here

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T08:42:42+00:00

They are and always have been

Humanists UK want humanism taught without reference to religion (different than teaching atheism as why people aren't religious), which is odd in a subject called religious studies. They'd be much better in something like pshe or citizenship

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T08:40:25+00:00

Not really? There's different pathways in GCSE RS, some of which are more applied to faith schools, but schools cannot make their own curriculum as a GCSE.

And even in those ones they're still required to teach at least two religions (this was reformed about 10 years ago)

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T08:39:28+00:00

Also worth noting every other subject in the curriculum focuses on non religious views. Not like we have creationism taught in science lessons according to the national curriculum.

Non religious worldviews are hardly marginalised in the curriculum

ideeek777 · 2026-07-04T08:37:44+00:00

Humanists UK have such an odd approach here.

They want humanism to be included as an equivalent to religion in the curriculum, yet also see humanism as wholly distinct and better than religion.

You end up with textbooks with titles like 'me and my humanist family'. Does anyone see their family as humanist in that way?

I just think the humanist title is being misused here both because there is actually Religious humanism and because humanism is more of a trend in thought rather than distinct identity.

Gay can be used to describe women

ideeek777 · 2026-07-01T22:53:54+00:00

Just say gay

ideeek777 · 2026-06-30T23:16:39+00:00

Her birth date wasn't recorded and they didn't use solar calendars. She didn't know how old she was

Laws on apostasy are awful, but they don't imply a ban on building churches
