This is exactly the same issue as with first-past-the-post elections. Diversifying votes on one side of an issue weakens that side. Eurovision isn't meant to be a political game, so when political forces become involved like this, the votings become extremely broken, and if this continues, the only natural endgame is a two-party system.

I don't think the votes in eurovision has ever been this politically driven. I have been receiving adds from several sources. It's disgusting.

For a system I worked on a few years ago I got the password requirement:

  • Only upper case letters A-Z, no letter or symbols.

  • Exactly 7 characters.

I was also recommended to make it a single word to make it memorable.

They were banned. There is a whole thing about why Russia is banned while Israel is not. I don't have the facts, but comes down to something about membership in EBU (the european broadcasting union).

Maybe Animorphs was onto something with the Yeerk's requirements.

I love how I know the name Bagger 288 because of a 16 year old meme

I hate when I wake up with clear sinuses after a cold, and my mind is just in neutral mode: No happiness of being over a week of clogged and runny nose. Things are just ok, as they are supposed to be. None of that euphoria I was craving for.

I'm finishing my parential leave, so most of my time is dedicated to being with my kid. But whenever there is time, I will be delving into Oblivion.

I have had a similar scenario. I was in the shower, letting the shower thoughts run. Then i suddenly flinched as I became unsure if I had taken the phone out of my pocket before entering the shower. I slapped my hand instinctively towards my naked leg to feel if my phone was there. Then I instantly realized how stupid I was.

But I'm guessing it also yields more exotic results, depending on the rest of the search term?

It had a good few first episodes with fun geeky jokes, but it quickly turned to bad jokes and lazy stereotypes and relied loosely on stereotypes to contain the geekyness.

It's weird how the price drops when something "included' gets removed. Am I misunderstanding that word?

During the big wave of Among Us, it was also interesting to see "sus" become a popular term, probably because people don't know how to spell "suspisus".
