We spent 3 nights in the Freezing Alps to Save Wolves
We volunteered to spent 3 nights and 4 days in Swiss mountains to protected flock of sheep from the wolf. Or actually to protect wolves. Because if wolves will attack sheep they will be hunted and killed. So we don't want that to happen, that's why we went to Switzerland to join OPPAL mission.To volunteer for OPPAL : oppal.ch/en/

True. And in many cases they do not dare to say much since they have deep relationships with Israel and USA...they do not want to "upset" these tribes. Especially the monster the USA has become.
Israel has really impressive war technology too, which is part of the reason why no other countries wants to cut ties with them. And USA is ofc the capitalist kingdom that everyone wants to trade with, who also has one of the strongest military force in the world.... Yeah really a lack of spine and humanity in these world leaders if you ask me, and such fucked up society we have always prioritizing the wrong things....

I really like the point he makes at the end, we need to have a change in mindset to appreciate every person watching - quality views like you say are more important than a bunch of people mindlessly watching some stuff just 'cause they're bored.

The usual updates PLUS a fix. Here is the problem: As you may know we struggle a lot to make all apps (GTK or QT, flatpaks or not) look the same on TROMjaro. To basically use the same theme.

Author and rehabber Terry Masear wants to save every injured hummingbird in Los Angeles. Terry takes in the most fragile of patients through her volunteer hummingbird rescue, but the path to survival is fraught with uncertainty and drama. Over the course of Sally Aitken’s intimate and moving documentary, we become invested in Terry’s hummingbird patients — including Cactus, Jimmy, Wasabi, Raisin, and Mikhail — celebrating their small victories and lamenting their tiny tragedies. Through the eyes of America’s busiest bird rehabilitator, each bird becomes memorable, mighty and heroic. As she nurtures the wounded hummingbirds back to health, Terry finds herself on her own transformative journey, unraveling a visually captivating and magical tale of love, healing, and the delicate beauty in tiny acts of greatness.

Humans have divided themselves into tribes, groups, beliefs, genders, kinds, colors, etc.. In fact we are all the same, part of the same wonderful story of evolution. Of an universe that evolved into us and many other things.
So far there is little to no sign of intelligence on this planet.

The can be radically different if the culture pushes them to be, but in fact we have similar needs and mostly same problems. We all need food, shelter, safety, healthcare, access to information and so forth. So yes, we are more alike in that sense and we are all indeed part of a greater story, far greater than any simplistic cultural/religious story humans have invented.

in reply to Dima • •Thanks Dima. We will see for now is nothing much we can do but take care of each other, try to have some nice time, keep him more mentally engaged. Truth is he is not diagnosed with dementia or anything like that. But he has these brain holes and for sure his behaviour worried us for the past years a lot. Also idk about his heart issues but we are very careful and try to take care of this situation.
So idk...we will see....I dont want to stress myself or us too much over things we cant do much about, if possible.

I knew little bits about what you were going through these last few months from our conversations on matrix, but reading this blog post is what really gave me the full picture.
First of all I wanna say great job on building that wooden house, that looks like a lot of work but I hope you enjoyed the process.
BTW this was kinda funny to read, man you talk about watching movies like some hardcore Christians talk about watching porn lol 🤣
But in all seriousness let me tell you that I can totally relate with that feeling of darkness and depression when being exposed to people's "normality" like you say. I usually try to ignore these things for the most part and it's not very often I go out to interact with people, but sometimes you get confronted

I usually try to ignore these things for the most part and it's not very often I go out to interact with people, but sometimes you get confronted with that reality and it can push me into that depressive state when that happens.... It's a totally different experience when you're having to watch movies to escape the reality like that, this is not like watching something you enjoy for fun once in a while but for you the goal is to escape - yeah terrible feeling I know......
BTW, isn't this statement true for people everywhere not just Romania? I can see maybe the things you miss from being in a more "developed" country like better healthcare and education, but I think the above statement is true for most people on a global scale. I have a feeling that perhaps when we're in our hometown we get exposed to these things a lot more, by interacting with our family or people we know there.
And now about your father... I knew about the fainting and his hospitalization and all that 'cause you've told me before, but I did not realize how nerve wracking that experience must've been for you until I read this blog post. What you went through on that airplane is a literal nightmare scenario, and then the Uber drive and everything - man I don't know how I would've handled it if something like that happens to me, I might get a panic attack or something lol 😅 Anyway, I'm glad that you were able to get him to a hospital safe, let's hope there won't be any more serious issues like this in the future.....
It's an incredibly sad thing to watch your parents age out like this, I feel so sad every time I think about how much healthier they used to be and how they will continue to age as time goes on.... And yeah dementia is a real bitch man, I hope we make some progress in the science of how to treat this disease or prevent it from happening.
And I'm glad to hear that after going through all of these stressful experiences you were finally able to get back to your motorhome and get some sleep for yourself. And don't worry man we will for sure reboot TROM back to life! 🙂 You are not alone in this fight 😉

in reply to Rokosun • •haha yes it is because I know that movies get you out of the real world, and I hate that. Maybe it is hard to understand me and why I regard watching movies as being so bad. Not all movies are bad ofc, and is not always a bad thing, but the culture around movies and their influence coupled with the zombiffied state of most people today, make me hate it.
It is but as I said in the post there everything is so much more obvious. You have to live that to understand.
And thanks for the nice words man! Yah my father is ok now, but idk...he does not seem to me to be doing that well cognitively. We got him a tablet and we are installing

We got him a tablet and we are installing some "brain" games to keep him more active and such. I hope I am exaggerating with this, but we know 100% for sure he had has brain damage and brain atrophy so there is no way this has no effect on him. Will see how things go and try to enjoy life ;)
Thanks again for sticking around the project! We have a lot of work to do.Get ready because I aint joking! In a few weeks time I`ll stress you out with a bunch of things :)

... Show more...Yes I totally understand this, I feel like most of the "highest grossing" movies are just made using the same formula again and again - it is kinda like the junk food of content, you won't see actual creativity or get any insight from such films. But I don't consider "highest grossing" as a good criteria for picking movies to watch, actual good films tend to engage your mind more - makes you think or feel something so deeply, sometimes change your perspective about something. But yeah such movies don't give you that escape from reality, so if people want to turn off their mind they watch these formula movies - this is the saddest part to me, the fact that people are so tired and stressed out from work and everything that they often feel like they need an escape.....

I don't think I'm that far separated from this nonsense where I live, but I guess I have no frame of reference since I've been here my whole life lol 😄 Perhaps for me not going out much might be a way to ignore all the BS going around.
Sad to hear the situation about your Father man, but yeah don't stress out too much over it.... Installing those brain games on his phone was a good idea, I've heard it helps people with dementia....
Oh don't stress me out man! 😝 haha 😄 But yeah I'm currently doing an HTML & CSS course, will try to use those skills to improve some of our websites maybe..... And yeah I haven't forgot about my little Videoneat project, that's my long term goal to improve videoneat.com
