Ce să vă zic, mă, bine ați venit? bine ați venit, rău ați nimerit. La locu’ ăsta îi zice șerpărie, de la șerpii care umblă pe-aicea. Dracu’ știe cum au ajuns…

    @101 In my country the Russia-friendly folks are more creative: they take advantage by the crime that Moscow did prior to WW2 in order to justify their opinion that we should not involve in helping our neighbor. And the fact that they somehow discriminate the Romanian minority in the territories formerly owned by us (of course they do not do that as they’re eyeing European integration, but fake news need to go round) is used to somehow temper the sympathies for Ukraine.

    It doesn’t matter that Ukraine is fighting an enemy that is even less likely to return these territories to us, who will more than certainly treat the Romanian minority in these territories at least 1000 times worse than they are treated now just to get rid of any trace of Romanians living there if they control these lands by any means. It doesn’t even matter to them that the enemy that Ukraine is fighting actually owns our entire national treasury since the end of WW1 (comprised of old documents and art pieces but also tons of gold) and if we would border them, we would share half of our border with a hostile neighbor owning the biggest nuclear stockpile in the world.

    All it matters for them is to not get involved into other’s wars

    @alyaza it’s always great to hear about someone listing their ideas on their own blog rather than on social media. It just gives the message and the space more personality and offers a different experience than posting the same message on a regular social media platform.

    I also saw your article titled what i would do for a third party i actually like and I must say that I do agree with you, despite being on a slightly different political leaning, but I totally agree with you on the topic that more parties would be needed in America. Like, if I was an American, I wouldn’t know who to vote (I don’t know who to vote here in Romania either, lol). And I also saw the argument that the two-party system was there, among other things, to keep extremist political forces away from the mainstream. Yet we nowadays see how one of these two parties has a candidate which is a threat to democracy himself, and a threat to the entire Western world as we know it. I believe that any political system which allows for multiple parties voicing their different opinions is what we need in a healthy democracy, otherwise the system is not fully representative for the regular citizen.

    Keep up with your blog 😁

    About my last week… well… how could I put it… hectic would be a really mild word to describe it. It was rather surreal. I’m now sitting in my bed and I still cannot believe it happened, and I still hope it was just a bad dream or something…

    Last Sunday, I received the news that a friend of mine passed away. He was an awesome friend, always there for you, always of help and not only. We knew each other for more than a decade already. We’ve been to countless concerts and music festivals together, we traveled to a lot of places, I’ve even stayed at his place overnight on multiple occasions. He was about to turn 30 the next month. He did not show any signs of depression. He didn’t really have any issue that I was aware of. Last time we saw each other last month, at a friend’s birthday. Nothing that would make us aware of his problems at all, if he had any. He was also earning quite above average, had quite a good car, and he was about to move in an apartment that he just bought, in a new building (from what he said, it was a fairly large apartment).

    He was buried this Wednesday, and many of his friends were people that I knew as well. And they said the same thing: we did not expect he would do this. We were all in shock, we just saw ourselves in a way we never saw each other so far…

    I put a CW on this comment because this is really something that can come as a shock to anybody. I’m sorry for you if you’re reading all this from Lemmy and you feel affected by all this, because it is not easy for me to talk about it (I think Lemmy doesn’t support CWs as Mastodon, for example). Every time I tell someone about this, it is just too difficult for me to speak about it.

    I just want to tell you to seek help whenever you feel like you’re seeing no reason to continue with your life. I know it can be hard for you to see things differently, but do not stay quiet about it - speak about it. Speak to a friend, speak to a therapist if you can find one, create a burner account somewhere and post here on Beehaw, just don’t let any of these things affect you so much that you decide to end it all. This friend of mine probably thought at some point that nobody could help him, but that was really not true. We are all deeply affected by his death and we (or at least I) just don’t know how, don’t know why he did this. Do not end your life, whoever you are. You still have people that look after you, you still have someone out there who cares about you, even if you do not feel like it, even if you feel lonely. And all these people would be deeply affected by your possible disappearance, more so if you are the one who takes your own life. Just don’t do it!

    Also, if you have a friend to who you might have become a bit distant for a while recently for whatever reason, take your time to message them - now, later, tomorrow, sometime this week - or give them a call, tell them what you feel about them and that you care about them. It will probably mean a lot to them.
