I mean using unwrap is not bad practice if the value is guaranteed to not be none, which can happen frequently in some applications.

Why is saying oh it'll be emailed scam behaviour?

Okay, I legitimately thought you were talking about not drinking… like at all (water and such) until I read the text. 😅

Honestly, the most horrible thing about this is that people like you are even more cautious

how i was disbelieving in their kindness, and they reassured me every step of the way that there are good people out there and sometimes good things do happen

Because that's just true. I often get emotionally attached quickly to people, and there are situations in which I've done similar stuff to help people.

I don't really get the scam though; in what way would they have scammed you by giving your email address?
I don't feel like the takeaway should be being more sceptical though. I mean, in the end there always is a point at which a scammer would… well, ask you to do something that would enable them to scam you. And if you truly let your whole worldview be determined by them, you just let them win.

Holy shit. The game pineapple is literally almost 1:1 this Greentext as a game. That's so funny, I wouldn't have known.
I also now finally understand the intent of the game. I didn't like it that much because the ending is so pretentious, and I don't agree with the message, but it definitely comes across differently in the game.

Is that some kind of trope? Or why pineapple specifically? Because that literally is the exact plot of a specific game called Pineapple: A bittersweet revenge

That's amazing news! I'm still so pissed about Europapa that this year's ESC has been the first I haven't seen live since 2020 (I actually still haven't seen it at all, but I probably will eventually).

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It genuinely looks really great (but scawy :c).
But no macOS :C

Well, it's difficult to define movie. There will be the last big blockbuster production. But maybe there will still be a smaller production that counts as blockbuster for some people. There will be documentation of stuff probably, does that count as a movie when people film their last days? I don't think there will this one clear final movie, but yeah, it will (probably) end eventually.

Tor is slow and has a reputation of being used by pedophiles and drug traffickers.

It sucks that literally using something that should be the default, truly protecting privacy, has such a bad reputation because… well it protects privacy.

 

According to updated Eurovision rules, artists aren't allowed to wave any pride flags on stage. While most pride flags have already been banned last year (Nemo, for example, wasn't actually allowed to wave the non-binary flag), this now even includes the six-stripe rainbow flag.
However, before last year, it wasn't something very special to also wave a pride flag or have one in the Greenroom.

 

As the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is approaching fast, I'l opening a new general discussion thread to bundle all kinds of general conversations, like your favourite songs, staging suggestions, rankings or predictions. :)

 

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!

(Full transcript and video on the linked site.)

 

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.

And some background information:

 

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.
