I mentioned both their competitions in my comment.

This year in 2025, they even made fun of the Armenians. I can't remember exactly what they said, but it was definitely something along the lines of "I can't believe we gave these guys a quarter in Jerusalem"

I have ultimately lost faith in these commentators. So much for being an "independent reporter", EBU. I mean yeah, they're facing the threat of privatization, but for now they're public and state-owned, so there's literally no excuses here.

Countries are finally speaking up about this, I've been waiting for like, 2 years already.

Israel has undeniably brought the contest into disrepute twice in a row with them sending basically political entries with shady ad campaigns that made a select few voters disproportionately vote for Israel, causing them to spike up in the ranking (almost winning the 2025 contest; JJ is our savior), and yet the EBU just doesn't even care about this? And when Russia did the whole "let's take all of Ukraine" move, it took 10 countries to immediately speak up for them to get suspended. Ukraine won that year btw. Like... if the EBU are gonna keep saying the Eurovision Song Contest is "apolitical", then they have to accept the harsh reality that making your participants be countries immediately makes it otherwise. And this is not the exception, it's the norm. Both the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup have had similar disrepute incidents in the past, most notably with apartheid South Africa.

Either way, if more countries drop out due to Israel's continued participate, that could ultimately result in enough awareness for the EBU to finally kick them out for good. Otherwise, the only solution is the privatization of their broadcaster, which literally nobody wants.

Armenia being outside of Europe is still kinda debatable if you ask me.

This time they're actually kinda creepy.

Me neither, I actually like being aroace and not having to worry about taking care of a wife and children when I've had trauma issues with my dad.

Funny enough, my dad called me an atheist for not wanting to be married. That's the stupidest comparison I've ever seen, I'm not even atheist.

Bullets are fast.

No, but maybe the one pictured was just the most common.

I had something similar to these, they had a "3D sound" button that just made the audio much louder.

I think the eMachines eOne (that iMac G3 knockoff) playing a weird buzz sound when Windows is running might also be related to poor shielding, but I could be wrong about this.

Classic Belgium.

That's even more next level.

I'm not exactly specifying that they're originally from these regions, but just the fact that they're most well known for being associated with these regions. They're the first place that comes to my mind when I hear these dishes.

Couscous isn't exclusively Moroccan either, but when I hear couscous, the first place that comes to mind is Morocco.
