If they don't know about it, it doesn't make sense though, does it?

Das klingt wie Jugendsprache von vor 10 Jahren. Heb weder Klette noch klammern in dem Kontext so gehört. Wenn die Person unter 25 ist, wird sie es wahrscheinlich nicht verstehen.

Just for the record, it's not like GOP pollsters are biasing polling models as they all account for house factors and partisanship. The Iowa poll is an outlier. That doesn't mean it has to be wrong, it's a good sign and outliers should be published as well. But it's not like all other polls are fake.

Go vote!

Ich würde es einfach anpassen und anders ausdrücken:

Ich finde es anstrengend, dass du mich nicht auch mal in Ruhe lässt, sondern die ganze Zeit mit mir schreiben / reden willst. Kannst du vielleicht mal etwas Abstand nehmen und mir Freiraum lassen?

The stock market averages are only true if you look at it for a really long time, like 30-40 years. In 10 years, the value can definitely go down a lot, but if you view it for the long-term, it will still be an improvement.

I understand that looking at it like that is unnerving though.

This might be a hot take (that's why I put it in a separate comment), but I think that the system is bad doesn't mean (in my personal opinion) that it's morally wrong to use it, at least if you take care that you don't invest in really awful stuff like coal. Especially since the rich ones use it, not using it just leads to a bigger gap between poor and rich. Living and wanting to improve the society doesn't mean having to reject it.

(I'm open for any arguments though.)

I dislike the stock market. In the end, just like in capitalism, most of the companies profiting the well, are just the ones screwing over their customers the most. Of course there are exceptions, but that's the system. You only earn money if customers have to always pay more, not for the lightbulb that never pay. Focusing the economy on the stock market and its wellbeing denies the basic facts that we have a finite earth and that maybe the companies shouldn't be maximising the profits but rather look for their customers. It's sad, but the less you care about ethics, the easier it is to make money.

Yeah. The joke is that this is the obvious solution always used in practise, but the programmer is that bad that they don't know it and use some ridiculous alternative solutions instead.

 

So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”
Well, that would have been good to know that before 1600 people got charged! It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, put out a no fly list, banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing!
Would have been good to know that. Before I, you know, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year old in college. Just feels like a big rip off!

Europapa got 182 out of 216 possible points and scored the second place in the second semi-final. Only a bit less than Israel, this would have probably meant a top 5 placement in the finale.

 

Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/, the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

As there are so many posts about this topic and it's getting a bit out of hand, I'll create one central place where we can talk about this stuff and share updates.
If there are very big updates, I might create a new post as the new megathread but for now, please don't create new posts for updates but post them here as comments.

Latest news: AVROTROS (the Dutch broadcaster) released a statement. The full statement is in the comments but roughly, they state that against made agreements, Joost Klein was filmed directly after getting off the stage and getting to the greenroom. He indicated he didn't want to be filmed, but this was not respected, leading to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera, but he did not touch the camera women. This was the whole incident leading to the investigation by EBU and police, according to them.

According to several news outlets, Joost Klein will not perform in the Jury show of the ESC for the Netherlands.
It’s still open whether he will perform in the Grand Final or not.

A Dutch article additionally states that

Joost Klein is not allowed to participate in the jury show of the Eurovision Song Contest. The investigation into the incident that came out earlier on Friday has not yet been completed, AVROTROS reports. Klein does not miss out on any points: the professional jury assesses his performance in the second semi-final.

Sadly, I didn’t find any Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/. But as this community is still pretty small, I think refreshing the website once after each song should be okay.

I think it makes sense to have a general discussion thread to build this community and for you to be able to interact more with each other and talk about stuff.

You can write about all kinds of Eurovision related things here: What are your current favorite songs? Which one grew on or off you recently? What are your staging suggestions? What are your rankings? What are your predictions?
Have fun talking about the songs :D

 

The Netherlands just released their song for the Eurovision song contest 2024: Europapa by Joost Klein.
