I agree with you on all points, but I'd also like to add that there's an argument the current system in sports discriminates towards women.

In many sports, there's a top league for men and a top league for women. Since men on average perform better, the men league is almost always favored, meaning there's more money from advertisement and sponsorships, providing more lucrative contracts for the players.

Even if a woman would be among the very best in a sport, she'll never be able to actually play in the top league in the best teams with the most lucrative contracts, which I think is 100% sexist.

Can someone explain to me in what world real mozzarella cheese is a weird square? I've only ever seen the white blobs which definitely aren't squares.

Cute of you to think the US still respects any laws.

To be honest, there is some pretty credible evidence that Maduro in fact was a dictator. There's a whole section on it in his Wikipedia article.

HOWEVER, that does in no way justify this oil war the US is starting, nor will this kidnapping in any way improve things for the people of Venezuela.

The whole man/woman categorization is a social construct trying to simplify something incredibly complex. Sometimes the simplification works better (with typical cisgender people) and sometimes it really doesn't describe the underlying complexities well (with transgender/intersex/etc).

Pretty much, because the organisers of this event won't follow their own rules and does anything and everything to keep the genociders participating.

To reiterate, the turmoil is not directly because of the genocide, but it's because EBU (the organisers) refuse to allow its members to even vote on whether Israel (who have constantly been breaking the rules in recent years) are allowed to participate, despite EBU's own rules clearly stating that such votings should be conducted.

The double standard is unbelievably biased and has permanently destroyed the contest's reputation.

I'm pretty sure the real reason it's projected is so it doesn't get covered by snow in the winter. At least that's the reason for projected street signs elsewhere in Finland, such as in Oulu.

Not necessarily bad, but it is quite rare. It only occurs when something doesn't work properly.

I think there are many people (me included) who have no clue what that icon means.
