How would the world change if you could trust everyone to be a good person

Being a "good person" would imply things such as not lying (apart from white lies, ie nobody could claim they paid for smth when they havent etc) or stealing, murdering...

Everyone on earth wld have ideologies so similar or harmonious that war is not morally justifiable to anyone.

it would not mean everyone randomly started giving all their money to charity or stopped having personal ambitions.

How would security change? With no more wars being started, what would happen to military budget? Which jobs would be lost, and what opportunities wld arise?

Seeing this in person definitely changed my ranking a lot- Viva Moldova was bottom 5 for me but the performance was sooooo good and energetic and overall an amazing start to the evening. i could hear that everyone felt the same too.

Watching the absolute SPRINT finland had to do was really impressive as well.

Really disappointed by Greece!!! The show was really boring to watch- purely imagined for a televised audience. wasnt impressed by the costumes and vocals either.

Still really annoyed by portugal. if ure gna keep sending these lame ass salvador sobral songs js stop participating 🙄🙄

Eurovision Semi 1 Ranking (before the show)

This ranking is based mostly on the "vibes" the song emits. Also i'm a strong strong proponent of singing in national languages. If the song is in english randomly (without clear reason) it has to work much harder to earn my favour.

1. Per sempre si (saw some posts saying italy has gone downhill the past year i DISAGREE so strongly. Especially Volevo essere un duro was SUCH good quality and i cannot believe so few countries have made use of subtitles in their way. this song is such a bop and the artist is so funny, he was so awkward on the turquoise carpet. I have to supress the urge to dance whenever i hear this. also whats nice to me is that its like simultaneously a song that would pass very well as non eurovision as well but it still fits in SO WELL. it takes a lot for a song to be able to do both.)

2. Solo quiero mas (proud of lithuania the last few years. songs in my top 3 for 4/5 past years. like the drama, and similar to italy, this makes me want to get up and perform the song.)

3. Ferto (this is stuck in my thought patterns for hours after listening. idk if that makes sense.)

4. Liekheitin (i honestly do not care abt the fact that they were allowed live instruments. Everyone can ask and its a source of risk as well. good song overall. Otherwise really nice. doesnt make me wanna move haha which decreases its rating here)

5. Fire (people need to stop hating on germany just because its germany. ill admit lyrics are very lackluster (sing in german ffs. baller SLEW) but again this is more vibes based, and the rhythm pleases me)

6. Nova Zora (dk if people agree but this reminds me of Zjerm somehow? instant positive association, plus i like the sound of the lyrics)

7. Too epic to be true (love the opening lol. not much more to say)

---- Would listen to outside of eurovision limit -----

8. On replay (again, OPENING big yes i love the ba ba ba ba, giving evil oompa loompa, sadly takes a turn for the worse once the text starts lol. keep me on replay is the only other part i like)

9. Dancing On Ice (has something, but it annoys me. would benefit a lot from own language. makes me feel like i have 50 degree fever)

10. Kraj Mene (intriguing, but doesnt capture me idk. not enough coming my way)

11. Andromeda (really boring too me, maybe its type is js oversaturated in eurovision in the past)

12. My System (would maybe like this more if it werent from sweden. they have been taking no risks since more than a decade. this song has no soul to me, id expect it out of the radio but not on esc. also the mechanic "my system" voice stirs hate in me, cant explain it)

13. Superstar (sing in ur own languageeee im begging you. as a ESL speaker myself i dont dislike accents normally but this annoys me for some reason. Its also a really basic song with nothing special imo)

14. Pray (this feels rlly cringe and disjointed idek. i think you need a sip of holy water. )

15. Viva Moldova (honestly js cannot stand this type of song, sue me)

15. Rosa (portugal has been my enemy since sobralgate '17, and has not impressed me since with the possible exception of saudade. please please please leave it in the semi i am BEGGING)

Ive been going to the gym for about 4 months, training arms regularly (2-3x per week) for 1 month. I think I had a solid foundation going into the gym because I did sports most my life, but Im concerned I may have bad form because of the weight I can Tric Pushdown.

On a rope attachment I can do 25kg, and on bar 40kg (8 reps 3 sets). I try to lean forward, extend up to elbow height, and keep my upper arms and shoulders still, upper arms about parallel to my body. I dont know how well I succeed in all that, but I do think its not terrible.

Ive seen its possible that because of the pulley Im really lifting less, or that the gyms weights cld be off. Online it says 40kg is very advanced for women. Could I actually be lifting that much? If not, why? Thanks in advance!

Last

Pebbles' crisp collisions forced,

I know the sound, I know the morse

By water, waning, reaching out,

made tacitly to leave no doubt,

Nature calling me to join it.

I know my white speckles of hair,

And furrows struck quite everywhere

I know my tendons growing pain,

And shades of fog all up my brain.

I know now time's upon me.

The rhythmic ebb and flow does share

Some subtle lessening of my wear

The sudden droop of my good eye

Will now bid my first sense good bye

I grapple

Hot take, but I feel like the show didn't do a great job at establishing the relationships between the four CBI agents. Especially during the storyline of Lisbon being fired and them all standing up for her at the start of the show, I felt surprised that they all even cared that much.

I wish there had been some more interpersonal development between the characters amongst each other, or in general showing more personality and private lives, even as Jane is the main character of course. Although it is obviously rather plot driven too, there are many chill filler episodes which would've offered ample opportunity to.

Also minor nitpick but their calling Lisbon "boss" when she doesn't seem to act very "boss" apart from saying who's "in charge" whenever she leaves a scene feels jarring.
