I'm very proud of my Amaryllis. The flower has a bud. So so happy especially after all these years - it might actually blossom. He gapes most of the time, but I didn't want to throw it away because it has a very long life expectancy - over 70 years (like they say here). This is the first time Amaryllis has a bud since I bought it in the store.
I'm trying to experience this year's Veganuary in more detail. I'll do my best to implement lovely meals in my food plan for the rest of the year. As it is for now, I still enjoy some sort of 'back to basic' cooking - less than five ingredients for any meal. I call it 'cooking originals' because it's my favorite way to feel the taste of vegetables. Also, I don't have to bother myself much with maintaining the pantry - I prefer it compact.
Thank you Veganuary
If only I had known my winter coat was made of non-vegan material before I've decided to buy it. We need to help end cruelty to goats and sheep by urging to ban cashmere and choose only vegan materials.
I understand that leather products are not for sale; I respect that. But this time, the last time, I decided to use animal by-products (ABPs) - similar to those I'm using as a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Fix a goal.
“Reform global institutions” - a holistic approach or a prerequisite towards “Reform global finance institutions”.
The most notable “Unless... ...institutions urgently reform, they will remain ineffective, and even harmful”. To prevent this scenario Greenpeace and other NGOs have well documented alternatives, they need to be summed up and applied ASAP.
Imagine notions in some ball linked in a sort of conceptual project. The more of those conceptual projects you have the more notions come up. Many notions are similar and conceptual projects are interlinked.
Smart people must decide which way to go, to choose a proper path, a backup plan, second backup plan, third backup plan… with this “ball of notions & conceptual projects” all the way through-out the timeline.
It’s not just one or two things being misaligned, experts say we can expect a whole series of collapses.
Ensure the goals are realistic.
That would be a major problem for me cuz something similar hasn't been documented at all. I suppose here we should admire intuition, to keep us off the wrong path (knowing difference between right and wrong is imperative - in every step of the way; all Δ time).
To elaborate further, I try to define intuition like millennials do, not like the “ID” personal component in Freud’s handbook, but rather in compliance with human rights.
In the concrete case of the “Reform global finance institutions” project - how realistic is a place without corruption, without so-called “creative accounting”?
Motivate yourself to achieve your goals.
I could motivate myself and others, we could be enthusiasts like we were younger in no-time, I suppose. Exhaustion in finding proper words, proper deeds often leads to a burned-out effect. No man is a computer, a dedicated server. We need to design a caring, loving system that will be a win-win for all.
There was the first, second, third, and fourth industrial revolution, altogether a total of around 250 million deaths in direct armed conflicts. You should know that humanity was and is on the wrong path, only by looking at that important viewpoint.
Stop procrastinating.
How many times have you heard or read that António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, says the word “NOW”. There is even an emergency climate disaster conference happening right now, but local people aren’t interested. People need to find the proper modality between procrastinating and panicking cuz both are terribly wrong.
We need e-receipts now, we need global currency now, we need rich to poor and needful money transfer now...
Stay away from distractions.
That’s so difficult nowadays gangs pounding all the time, showing energy. Remembering MS philosophizing about the silent room… Only rich guys can afford this, I suppose.
My way of avoiding news saturation is blocking all IM, SMS, and mob app notifications.
Learn from other’s mistakes.
Here I would point out ongoing success of open-source software, and even Free Art License. Now is the proper time to think about collaboration, less on profit. And do not collaborate in the way some rich guy’s company is asking you to do the long hours…
Libarary:
massive scale during World War I, resulting in more than 100,000 fatalities and a million casualties
I believe that this day should also be a day of remembrance for all the dead and injured from Big Pharma's reign of terror. This sad day needs expanding; for example, look at a few random articles about the big scams in that mystical industry:
Business-as-usual is breaking our planet.
These are not brain tonics. We know that alcohol is nasty, but brother - this is not a multivitamin either. It won't hurt you for a few months, but it will for five years.
I don't like politics cuz sometimes it's closely related to torture and excessive use of arms. I stand with Ukraine, with their right to freedom - to get rid of the eastern Russian 'Big Dictator'. The thing I don't like about Ukraine's Zelenski - is his plans to expand the gun industry sector. I remember here, in Homeland War, guns were coming from all over - even with the UN embargo opposing gun import. There is much dirty stuff in affairs becoming visible with people's criminal activities.
I don't understand why the defense office has, for example, warships or warplanes under the counter.
With the green revolution, we need to completely dismantle the system that led to the sixth mass extinction; I want to live, I have so much love to give.
I remember the last economic crisis, how they jokingly said in the commercials that we should refill ballpoint pens if we want to save money. Analogously, it can really be said that the savings of switching from the kuna to the euro are great because - the battery on the calculator (display) is saved, it's so good conversion. Almost 1:10
"I don't conquer the prominence tops - that's where I live... But to get there, sometimes you have to smear your sneakers" ⎯ psychocratic viewpoint on changes, where they say there are always "political dead people". That's unacceptable.
'Z-world' sucks 😞 in that way pronounced.
We need to stop fossil fuels ⛽ & their show-off.
You can do almost anything by walking, keeping the environment nurtured.
Please stop devastating Earth 🌍 #ActNow
With ostensibly perfectly filled settlements Croatia is conserving the environment. 25 million overnight stays by tourists is only a fraction that doesn't influence the population density number.
Ever since 90's many firms went out of business, mostly in idle primary and secondary industrial activities. Imagine accidents that must've happened just with lubricating oil for machines - great savings!
We should focus more, I suppose on cleaning beaches, the sea, and forests for a start, and I've even planted a tree as a part of reforestation with the help of local newspapers. I've informed you about this incredible project a few months ago, dear people of the public.
It is time for a climate ambition supernova in every country, city, and sector.
hackers, hackers... the good and the bad... governmental or criminal... I prefer none - but sometimes I use tricks and other tips, you may call it HACkS (but I would rather not) to get things done ✅
I mean - ai.gov, ai.org... oh where does it all end? Is it sustainable development, or actually a marketing experience? People need paradise-like changes that are so hard to find in times of climate emergency 🦺
Suffering, ill from all sorts of 'Déformation professionnelle' little people can't afford an effective break. I appeal to those rich guys once again to get the Universal Basic Income (UBI) operational!
(underground water) 🌊 💦disappearing at a rate of approximately 17 km³ per year
Data of crucial importance is collected, a good start for all over the world. The bad news is that the water is disappearing, and no one knows what to do about it. People need to study environmental books 📚 to make some real-life contribution to nature.
Really, please stop devastating Earth. You need to make peace with it - no matter how raw it looks to your gentle 💞 spirit.
Speciesism is a term used in philosophy to explain how bugging animals is wrong. Nowadays, the Inspector Rex TV series misuses the train of thought - leading us to the undesirable conclusion regarding police dogs. Although the TV series is no longer shooting, it is still popular on the so-called small screen, so be careful not to be mistaken.
#Palestine is the well-known position of non-governmental organizations for human rights, similar to the way that no one has risen on that political issue, and many have fallen on the 'social ladder' because of expressing their views.
Democracy itself may depend on it, and also there is a time factor... Good luck! Another thing, I remember Yasser Arafat, who was to a certain degree modest. He won Nobel Prize for his efforts to create peace in the Middle East, but it wasn't enough.
After his death, Hamas took over the government on democratic elections. They were said to be fiercer. And as I say: the weather/time is like youth - hotter, hits harder, don't you think so? There should be a whole bunch of updates to patch society, wrong natural selection that has been carried out for millennia. I don't think it's ever going to happen from this standpoint of mine.
Good luck once again!
"food is not to be wasted" - but you cannot force someone into eating it either.
People need to work out a solution for better food distribution, just like any other resource.
Flash 📸 ⚡ haircut? -Yes or no?
I would say definitely yes. My only constraint would be like older clients - they do with bleached hair.
Back in the old days, you should beat your son if he has slept with a man, or a wife if she got high and burned a lunch. It was desirable action of the head of the family, seen as an "educational measure". Luckily, values have changed in just a few decades. Now you could be charged with domestic violence, but there is a lot of confusion. Here, in Croatia, domestic violence is a crime for about 20 years and legal practice is often misused. Nowadays authorities get confused with Istanbul Convention/Declaration of Istanbul, I'd say?! trib.al/SmSPCdb
Beating as an "educational measure" in school is unacceptable now, but still, there are "extreme" sports like boxing (olympic sport) or street fighting. From my perception, it is sadistic with a high gay factor (yeah gay 😘 🤙), something like bathing in freezing water during the night. People practicing such "extreme" sports should go to a shrink rather than to a ring hehe. Maybe it is a collective response to social traumas from the past like eunuchism?
I can imagine how difficult it is to explain to kids that violence is good if it is fun, I will never understand that worldview. It is confusing - you can applaud boxing/street fighting on TV, but cannot practice it on a street. Kids are very confused and they are often being recorded by smartphones in some "ultimate fighting" beating match in a playground or a street. Please stop such awful behavior.
The adults should take responsibility and blame for the confusion, it is their wrongdoing. I believe that boxing or street fighting are extreme sports and that extreme sports are lying and deceiving.
My life is not a video game, stop sports, especially the competitive sports industry crisscrossed by crime.

As I've said before - hate speech defined as an explicit call for violence is bad. Otherwise, with hate speech, you can describe something very bad, and express your feelings. Why not? Freedom of speech, expression - it's very important, but I would always rather communicate verbally, than non-verbally (gestures/body talk). For a sweet talker it's very difficult to sell transcripts in third-world countries. Indeed, people need more guidance for online blogging, that's a huge market for grammar/spelling correction software empowered with AI. Such a tool is a "must have" - it saves tons of money, a workaround to avoid lawsuits. Prevention programs like that, either as a standalone app or as a plugin, should be accessible to everyone ASAP.
