THE LEGAL SCAM // So social media companies are using your data in the shadiest ways, reselling it, and making billion of dollars out of it.

One of the main reasons why you open this app every day is to consume more content.

I, Not only participate in this system by consuming more content, but enable it, by creating more content that bring more potential personal Data (you).

I do not think that I’ve ever been actively participating in such a dishonest project - that’s literally scamming people - in my entire life.

One day I’ll stand in front of God, and he’s gonna ask me on my actions.

What should I answer?

Imagine running a YouTube channel where I not only dive into the intricacies of STEM through science videos but also take you along on my travels. It’s a blend of education and exploration. 🚀🌍

Rather than sitting on a couch for science videos, I decided to elevate it. I travel to the very places where scientific breakthroughs happened. For instance, to explain the workings of the AC electric machine, I ventured to the birthplace of its inventor, Nikola Tesla. ⚡🌍

In April 2021, I kicked off this journey by recording my first science video at the Marjan steps in Marjan Park, Split, Croatia. 🇭🇷🎥

In less than half a year, I covered diverse topics:
- AC Electric machine from Smiljan, Croatia (Nikola Tesla’s birthplace) ⚙️🏡
- Electric Marine Propulsions from the Port of Split, Croatia 🚢🏞️
- Mathematics from Greece, a hub of mathematicians 🧮🇬🇷
- Nuclear Power from Ukraine, delving into the physics of nuclear power and the Chernobyl disaster ☢️🇺🇦 (including the Soviet RBMK 1000)

Realizing I couldn’t finance both science and travel simultaneously, I made a tough choice. I paused science videos and fully embraced travel for two years, with . 🌎💼

Logistics:
It’s been countless sleepless nights as a one-man show, handling everything from content preparation to video recording, editing, and dealing with unexpected challenges. Shoutout to all the Karens; I appreciate your engagement! 🌙💪❤️

Finances:
Let’s not get into the nitty-gritty, but it involved a significant investment. 💸📊

What’s next:
…hmm, maybe delve into the scientific mysteries of Egypt (2555 BC), Ancient Greece (1200 BC - 600 AD), Spain (711 - 1492 AD) and Italian Renaissance.

Side Note:
Greece stands out as a unique country for intellectual pursuits. Every morning there is an inspiration to learn something new. Not even the USA - despite its vast resources - compare to Greece’s healthy, stress-free, and historically rich environment 💡. Just my experience 😉✌🏼🇬🇷

Anyway, stumbled upon these pictures and wanted to share the story behind them! 🤗📷

It’s a complicated conflict.

16/11/2023

1. Have a blast in whatever you’re up to. It doesn’t need to be crappy, and it sure as hell doesn’t have to be bitter.

2. Screw taking lousy advices from folks with messed-up careers, disastrous marriages, basically a crappy life. They’ll try to sell you on the idea that you need to wade through their garbage to succeed. Truth is, if they could help, they’d fix their own mess first.

3. Shake up your destiny. An ancestral French saying nails it: “Forcer le destin”. Translation? To change your fate, you’ve got to mess with it. Nothing’s gonna budge without a bit of disruption.

4. Your alone time is gold, way more valuable than any toxic crew. Hanging with the wrong crowd messes with your biggest asset: the brain and the choices it makes.

5. Forget playing referee between good and bad buddies. Spend that time figuring yourself out and growing personally.

6. Embrace flying solo for however long you want, even forever. I met 60-year-olds who never tied the knot or had kids, they’re rocking lives full of kindness, happiness, success, and gratitude. Contrastingly, some married individuals harbor discontent, though there are, of course, happily married people as well. ✌🏼❤️

7. If you’re only seeking company to dodge your own company, and can’t enjoy your own solitude, consider it a long-term warning.

8. Trust that good people will naturally cross your path; no need to go on a hunt.

The Battle of Posada, occurring from 9 to 12 November 1330, pitted Basarab I of Wallachia against Charles I of Hungary.

In this pivotal clash, Basarab led a modest Wallachian force comprising cavalry, foot archers, and local peasants. Despite facing a formidable 30,000-strong Hungarian army in the rugged terrain, the Wallachians executed a successful ambush, securing a significant victory.

This triumph “sanctioned the independence of Wallachia from the Hungarian crown,”. Georgescu goes further, labeling Wallachia as the “first independent Romanian principality.” 🏹🛡️

Step back in time to Reșița’s railway heyday! 🚂

In the 19th century, as steam locomotives chugged along these tracks, the city’s industrial heart began to beat stronger.

Steel, heavy machinery, and other products forged in Reșița found their way to destinations near and far, shaping the city’s identity as an industrial powerhouse. 🏭

Today, these railway remnants serve as a living museum of a bygone era, a testament to the city’s remarkable past. Explore the tracks, explore history! 📸🌟

Amidst the turmoil of war, winning the hearts and minds of the people becomes a critical endeavor. This vintage propaganda flyer from the German Empire, dated 1917, sheds light on the art of influencing perceptions during World War I. 🌟

In German, it boldly proclaims “Die Bezwinger Rümanien,” translating to “The Conquerors of Romania“, who are: Marshal August von Mackensen (on the left) and General Erich von Falkenhayn (on the right).

This flyer was circulated during the German occupation of Bucharest, which took place between November 23rd and December 6th, 1916, with the Imperial Government of Bucharest established by December 8th, 1916. The German forces were stationed in the historic “Cercul Militar National,” a building that still stands on Calea Victoriei in Bucharest, facing the Old Town 🏰🇷🇴.

In the early 20th century, boasting “we conquered that nation” was seen as a triumph. However, today’s narrative has evolved, and “Conquerors” have transformed into “Liberators” 🗽.

The means might have changed, but the goal remains the same: Influencing the other. Taking from the other. Dominating the other. We can’t help ourselves!

As for Germany’s fascination with Romania during WWI, that tale is coming soon 😌

Hi everyone,

As many of you noticed, I didn’t post anything for the past 2 months, and I took this time to think of what I should do with my life, and if I want to continue traveling or...

Spoiler alter: as much as I like 🇷🇴, I won’t create any further content from Romania 🇷🇴, nor be there.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve spent one of my best life moments there, but I feel it’s better for me to settle in another country 🌎. Why?

Tomorrow Monday October 16th, evening time I’ll release a video explaining my reasons. My reasons might not please you, so I count on your understanding in advance, and I’ll be thankful for it!

Thank you ✌🏼💔

And this is where I get confused: they used to give them jobs and apartments out of school no question asked, during the communist (socialist) era - at least it’s what Romanians told me. This sounds like Barbie land 🩷. But then if it’s all pink and pretty, why Romanians revolted on November 15th 1987 in the peaceful city of Brasov 🏔️. How many revolted? +20000! Sounds more like a Moldovan or Wallachian army fighting the Ottomans, but this wasn’t against the Ottomans, but against their own government.
After months of research I still can’t even figure out how life was during the communist-socialist era of Romania. Locals tell me it was good; internet says it’s was bad. Expat Romanians tell me it was perfect during communism, but then it went down hill in 1990, that’s why they left…
🕰️ It’s 03:31Am, I’m still reading about it, I’m tired, and I don’t know who to believe tbh.
Anyway, I’ll get ready to go to the Mosque of Bucharest 🕌; It’s prayer time (04:13am), and hope I can find an UBER, Inshaalah 🚗
📸: I bought these two magnets from a street seller in Vama Veche 🌊. He recognized me from Facebook, and he lives half year in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and the sunny half he helps his aging mother with her business in Dobruja. One magnet is the Logo of the Romanian Socialist Republic (from end of WWII till its collapse in 1989). The other magnet is the Wolf emblem of Dacia, the Kingdom where I’m from, last to resist the Roman Empire until our King Decebal died in 106AD against Trajan ⚔️. We will never forget 🐺

There isn’t a single LinkedIn title that could’ve brought me the satisfaction I have whenever I hit the road and explore histories that are underrepresented in the mainstream media 🗺️.
No hate to LinkedIn lovers 💔, but you can’t imagine what you’re missing out in this life by putting all your eggs in the basket of annual performance reviews, battles for cashless certifications, and taps on the shoulder from your boss ❌.
Speaking of battles, the battle of Rovine 1395 ⚔️ is being prepared and going to be released in couple hours, so stay tuned🍿🎞️📽️

I’m reading about the Sack of Constantinople 1204 financed by Venice, Pope Innocent III, and the Catholic world in general, and It saddens me to see what Catholic Christians could do to other fellow Christians (Orthodox).

Art of an immeasurable value was either looted (in the best cases), or cut in piece and melted to make some extra coins.

Orthodox Christian women were dragged and rapped by Catholic Latin crusaders, which was against the orders of the leaders of the sack, as they feared ex communication from the pope.

Ok, I’ll stop here.

I’ll end on this:

#1. It took the Catholic Church 800 years to formally apologize to the Orthodox Church (no joke, the pope of Vatican apologized in the early years 2000 to the patriarch of the Orthodox Church).

#2. I’m surprised that Constantinople didn’t fall earlier to the Muslims Seljuk, giving all the division among Christian world that was ruled by an unbelievable greed. Alp Arslan conquered Anatolia in 1071 (ancestors of the Ottomans), and in 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottomans and the East Roman Empire was no more.

#3. Finally, It shows also how sophisticated and civilized the east was compared to the west. Because the art, relics, and manuscripts that were looted or simply melted were countless. Even pillars and marbles were stolen from orthodox churches, shipped in boats and sold.

📸 Pictures/videos: taken from my visit to Istanbul on May 29th 2023, marking 570 years, day for day, since Mehmet Fatih (or Mehmet II) conquered the city.

📝 Just some simple and modest unforgettable memories from “The Queen of the Cities”. It hasn’t lost a iota of its indescribable beauty.

P.S.: After the sack of Constantinople, the 4th crusaders and Venetians transformed Hagia Sophia from an Orthodox Church to a Catholic Church. It remained that way until the Orthodox took back the city almost 60 years later. The Byzantine empire will never recover from the events of 1204-1261, leading to its fall in 1453.
