A Tiny Opening Between Clouds Shows Us A Luminous Yellow That Only The Life-giving Sun Is Capable Of.

A tiny opening between clouds shows us a luminous yellow that only the life-giving sun is capable of.

Looking at this scenario we realise that all the trees that are immobile were already there and will still be there when we are past.

Wet tarmac, cleaned city

An illusion of the moment.

But the real dirt cannot be removed.

Human abysses so deep and dirty, wet with rainwater with no effect.

Nineties a house is on fire the flatmates hear the fire alarm and run out of the house one after the other.

Everyone was rescued (ok there was no asocial media, sorry social media).

2024 a house is on fire all residents hear the fire alarm!

Flatmate one I think it's just a mistake, I'm staying.

Flatmate two really now I've heard that it's just controlled by the state to make us feel insecure, I'm certainly not going to go along with such nonsense.

Flatmate three I'd rather go out, I think that makes sense in the event of a fire alarm.

Flatmate four it's a conspiracy by the fire brigade to get more money from the council, I think they started it themselves. I'll stay but I'll express my anger and they'll only get one star.

Flatmate five nonsense, I'm not going along with such a left-wing woke thing, fire alarms only benefit the deep state. I'll fight it myself with all my anger.

Flatmate six have any of you left the cooker on?

Flatmate seven what are you talking about, it's all a fake. I'm staying.

Unfortunately, the fire brigade has to recover a lot of bodies.

One firefighter to another Something's changed, mate, I've been around since the nineties.

With this in mind, mod

Are you familiar with the bird 🐦 paradox?

Have you ever heard of a demonstration against birds killed by cars?

Or a demonstration against birds killed by the food industry?

We assume not!

But they have certainly heard of people demonstrating against wind turbines because they kill birds in masses.

It's interesting that people can eat their breakfast eggs and drive their cars and completely ignore the fact that millions and millions of birds have died since both products were invented or used.

But at the same time, when it comes to wind power, they act like bird protectors.

What does that tell us? It's about freedom, the freedom to simply ignore something that you don't really want to know about.

And the freedom to choose arguments that ultimately aren't arguments.

Somehow the world is still a disc on the basis of freedom, smile.

That's the way it is with the world - you choose your arguments and the world becomes a big slice. Plus, the cool thing about it is that you only have to say out loud that you're right and you're done.

The mass killing of male chicks has been common practice in the poultry industry for decades. However, many consumers do not realise how the animals are sorted out. They are shredded or gassed - for reasons of profitability.

Male chicks are considered an undesirable by-product in laying hen breeding. As they do not lay eggs later on, the hatcheries consider them useless. The roosters are also difficult to fatten and therefore have too little meat to offer. As a result, around 48 million male chicks are killed in Germany (Worldwide is not included here, but the other countries are doing well!) every year shortly after hatching. In the poultry industry, these are referred to as day-old chicks.

We don't think wind turbines can beat such a record.

We don't have any statistics for traffic, but we don't think this has ever really been recorded.

Yesterday the dead came to him, the one who had made such a long journey.

A journey from his childhood in a dictatorship with large landowners Into a foreign land through time until yesterday.

He was one of many children who were independent and free. Even in his early youth he was here and there and nobody knew exactly what he did during the day. Then the time came and he got married because that's what people did. He and his wife had two girls when his country was in upheaval. For him, work was a duty in which he went out of his way to give to his colleagues, he did his work for the sake of money and recognition. He didn't adapt, he prioritised his freedom over his family. The time of the revolution had come and he left the country to find a better life. For himself and his wife and two girls. The country he arrived in was foreign and needed him to increase its prosperity. But he was just a guest worker in a society that looked down on guest workers. He quickly made friends as he was sociable with colleagues who also became friends. Then the time came for his wife and two girls to follow him to the foreign country where the wealth resided. She had a flat in a large financial metropolis and he took care of her upkeep. His life at that time consisted of work, society and family, always maintaining his independence.

He was his own master even when he worked for other masters.

A man with a family who fulfilled his duties and what was expected of him, but only because it was a social duty. Not that he didn't love his family, but a man with a family. In the course of time their residence changed but they remained in the same town. He became well known and respected in the neighbourhood where he lived. He helped where help was needed and beyond. His independence was so great that when he was older he only came home to eat and watch television and sleep. He could be seen in the back of the house fixing bikes for anyone he knew or who knew him. His girls were out of the house, with one of his girls dying at a young age. This was as close to him as it had to be, he was a man and father of the old generation. But his life went on, he worked with many people even beyond his retirement. The times he lived through did not change him.

So he lived his life as the Portuguese man in his neighbourhood, always helpful and friendly to the world to get recognition.

He had a wife and two girls because that's the way men are. Now he is dead and even before his death he knew no compromise, he was free and did what was not good for him.

I didn't really know him because he was only ever nice to me and did his social duty when I visited him and his wife. We ate together and went on outings and once even a short trip to a big Catholic church that he really wanted to see.

I took one of his girls as my wife, or rather she took me, so I was part of his world and not looking for it.

He died yesterday after a short serious illness, today I saw him for the last time.

He lay peacefully in the sun in his hospital bed and is now extinguished and part of eternity.

Thank you that you had a family and that I can call such a beautiful woman my wife.

Mario the Portuguese may you rest in peace. A long journey has come to an end.

When you arrived at the hospital they asked us if you were really 84 years old as you were so fit and had all your teeth, well yes you were fit until just before the end. An incredibly independent man with a family connection. I said that without fervour, without anger, people can't go against their nature and yet are duty conscious.

The last of the grunge and more.....

Pearl Jam is an American rock band that popularised grunge in the early 1990s with Nirvana, among others. It is the only one of the big Seattle grunge bands that has been in existence and producing albums ever since.

However, their roots are not only to be found in grunge. Rather, Pearl Jam was influenced in many different ways. Pearl Jam's music is also much more diverse and cannot be categorised exclusively in the grunge genre.

Some boring background information about the music history of grunge for music nerds and all the others who can and want to read ....

There was grunge and Nirvana was just a spectacular part of it......and there is Pearl Jam which is still part of it and more...smile.

mod

Grunge was commercially successful in the early to mid-1990s thanks to releases such as Nevermind by Nirvana, Ten by Pearl Jam, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Dirt by Alice in Chains and Core by Stone Temple Pilots. The success of these bands increased the popularity of alternative rock and made grunge the most popular form of rock music.
