I thought the E was for Egbert 🤷

Viking_Hippie ,

What kind of performance enhancing drugs can you even take for Eurovision?

Ecstasy. Though your suggestion sounds like a good time too 😁

Viking_Hippie ,

That circle just looks like all the rich countries are mocking Poland for their solidarity 😄

Viking_Hippie ,

To be fair, they can't really expect you to be able to hear them with your tiny ears when you're encased like that..

Viking_Hippie ,

don't like it :-D

Kinda sending mixed messages with that overjoyed smiley, then 😁

Viking_Hippie ,

It's the new tourism slogan!

...which makes the comma even more important than it already was 😄

Viking_Hippie ,

I’m not saying repression is good either

Yeah you are. You're literally arguing for more repression.

Viking_Hippie ,

And we twirl the damn pleated skirt, son!

We are all a bug on this blessed day!

I am all a bug on this blessed day!

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Same here. For completely different reasons, though, just like I like Fern Brady and Gilmore Girls for completely different reasons, and would never recommend one based on the other 😉

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Or people who watch one stand up special usually watch another because Netflix recommends it, pushing specific ones like those two extra hard.

The algorithm is weighted towards recommending specific shows more than others more than towards the taste of the viewer.

Just like how Facebook, Twitter and YouTube tend to push people towards far right political content, Netflix has been (unsuccesfully) trying REALLY hard to make me like Iglesias, Dunham, Rob Schneider, and other comedians of both stage and screen for over a decade now 😄

Viking_Hippie OP ,

More because of the extreme incongruity with Fern Brady, who's ostensibly the reason for the recommendations lol.

And I kinda liked Gilmore Girls back in the day, though I agree 100% on the other two 😄

Viking_Hippie OP ,

That makes sense, then. Or it WOULD if the Netflix algorithm was anywhere near that smart 😁

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the...

Viking_Hippie ,

I'm not sure if it's THE oldest one, but Aarhus Cathedral is quite old, having elements from all the way back from the 1100s.

Still young compared to the city itself, though: Aarhus was originally founded in the 700s

Other way around, but thanks for the trip down memory lane, pun intended 😁

Viking_Hippie ,

To be fair, it's an unsourced quote from The Daily Hatemail, so odds are that she never said it.

To be even more fair, though, it's probably accurate whether or not that bigot ever said it out loud.

Viking_Hippie ,

Perfectly understandable, given the circumstances 😄

Viking_Hippie ,

Wow, what a pathetic Uncle Tom, or whatever the Indian equivalent is 🤦

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

It was named after him. I doubt he ever even used a computer, though..

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

It's a high-mid end German brand. They make excellent appliances and vacuum cleaners that last for a long time 🙂

Yeah, as much as the state tends to vote blue in presidential elections, the NH GOP is one of the worst in the whole country. We're talking "mask off racist in the comments of every political article praising Rush Limbaugh turns out to be an 8th term state Congressman and vice chair of a committee" bad.

That's not even a hypothetical.

Viking_Hippie ,

I'm gonna send the original version to the group chat with my mom and brother and the alternate one to the group chat with my girlfriend and best friend 😄❤️

Viking_Hippie ,

This video actually does a pretty good job as far as I can tell and it's only a minute long 🙂

Because I was focused on the text and didn't notice it was him 🤷

Viking_Hippie ,

I was prepared for you to go in a completely different direction after the first two 😄

Israel commits to limit Rafah operation, grant control of crossing to private U.S. firm ( www.haaretz.com )

The parties agreed that a private American security company will assume management of the crossing after the IDF concludes its operation. Israel has also pledged not to damage the crossing's facilities to ensure its continuous operation....

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah, let's have some for profit mercenaries control humanitarian aid, that's gonna go great!

It's not at all an indirect bribe of American politicians who have either stock or owner donors in the company, nuh-uh!

"Peace can only come when Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are restored:" Italy’s president says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine can’t be solved by rewarding Moscow’s aggression ( apnews.com )

Italy’s president told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine can’t be solved by rewarding its aggression and peace can only come when Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are restored....

Viking_Hippie ,

Putin is more willing to sacrifice his own people and leech every single resource in the country (which he basically controls, making him the ACTUAL richest man in the world) to support the war effort and there's no war crime he won't commit, with the possible exception of using nukes.

Plus, like Nazi Germany leading up to WWII, Russia has probably been fortifying their military much more than richer countries and Ukraine in the last few decades.

Or to put it in animal terms: Ukraine is a plucky terrier, the West is a German shepherd, and Russia is a rabid wolverine on steroids and bath salts.

Viking_Hippie ,

May the testiest tester win!

Viking_Hippie ,

I wouldn't say that qualifies as "sage wisdom' tbh..

Viking_Hippie ,

IDF should be working with aid agencies to guard evacuated warehouses and create new humanitarian corridors to facilitate aid delivery.

That would lead to fewer innocent civilians starving to death, can't have that!

They're not limiting aid by accident or neglect. Amongst the many war crimes that they are committing on a daily basis is using starvation and deprival of other crucial resources as a weapon.

Viking_Hippie ,

Or, more likely, he's banking on it being recolonized after the more blatantly active part of the genocide is concluded, and doesn't want to alienate the war crime profiteers who could be extremely lucrative for him once people go back to pretending that Israel isn't an apartheid state ruled by fascists.

The FAA investigates after Boeing says workers in South Carolina falsified 787 inspection records ( apnews.com )

The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday, May 6, 2024, that it has opened an investigation into Boeing after the beleaguered company reported that workers at a South Carolina plant falsified inspection records on certain 787 planes. Boeing said its engineers have determined that misconduct did not create “an immediate...

Viking_Hippie ,

You're both right

How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....

Viking_Hippie ,

Fun fact: providing an accurate example of someone spreading hate isn't itself spreading hate.

Only cult members consider good faith accusations leveled against their leaders to be inherently hateful.

And no, that's not hate either. That's ridicule based on observed behavior patterns.

George RR Martin: "I should pretend that there's a song about this and name an extremely sporadic book series after it"

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah, as a non-native speaker, I've always considered that really weird too. Same with "well done", which is apparently worse than murder if you're enthusiastic about steaks 😄
