This is a BBC article about Pizza Hut in the UK, posted on the unitedkingdom community.

Reminds me of someone here on Lemmy recently who had switched to eating nothing but steak and insisted it was giving them superhuman powers.

High risk drivers identified researchers and sent them letters urging them to quit sending letters and get out of the goddamn way, some people have places to be, jesus christ MOVE YOUR ASS GRANDMA. They found it had a profound effect

Either find a writing community that offers a feedback channel (probably on a Discord server these days, and you will likely be required to offer feedback on others’ work first as a show of good faith), or pay for a professional reading/feedback service.

It’s good fun! I’ve played around with it a fair bit and I enjoy the constraints (although I do wish there were some standard/official function libraries for common stuff like collision detection).

I’m curious on the mental gymnastics involved in claiming that an organisation holding a vote to make a decision is somehow crooked. Like, that’s what democratic organisations are supposed to do, rather than acting without consultation.

I feel like this gets asked often. There are several countries that aren’t in Europe but that currently participate in Eurovision: Israel, Cyprus, Armenia, and Australia.

The contest is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which is made up of various broadcasters from countries across Europe and beyond. The BBC is a member of the EBU, as is RTE in Ireland, Rai in Italy, SVT in Sweden and so on. There are 73 member stations from more than 56 countries, and they’re entitled to send acts to Eurovision if they wish.

So as long as a nation has a broadcaster that operates inside the EBU, they’re allowed to enter.
