Yes. I lost my uncle that way. His genius children decided forcing him without any precautions would be a good idea. He was a long time alcoholic. Had many problems but the doctor said withdrawal was the last straw that killed him.

11 daysI’ve been banned on bluesky because I choose to follow a curated group people’s accounts (I don’t remember what it was called that someone shares a bunch of people where you can choose to follow all with one click) about books which had over 100 people in it. Never went back…

Yes, we all came from Africa and yet we all managed mingle, change and to develop distinct different cultures along the way. This doesn’t make Greek, German, French or any other cultures rooted in Africa. They all originated somewhere along the way. Roots means the origin of a culture where it comes from and where it was first established. Considering the Greek culture was already established by the time of the war of Troy, it came from modern day Greece geographically to Anatolia. The ancient Greeks were seeing Troy as a foreign kingdom other that Greek, Heredotus and others write so.
As for the Huns, yes they disappeared and turned into different cultures like the Magyars and Bulgars. They are established as these culture where they are now, distinct from the Huns. They have historical ties to the Huns.
As for your culture of course you are entitled to your opinion, however writing in Greek doesn’t mean your culture and the ancient Greek is the same culture. Anyways, I wish you a pleasant day and I hope I made my point clear.

Again it seems you’re mistaking roots of a culture with historical ties/relations and bundling up ancient Greek culture with Greek culture is another obvious mistake you make. Considering the ancient Greeks and Greeks after Christianity are two very different cultures. Meanwhile calling Ottomans having deep roots in Europe shows how much your mix and match the cultures. By your definition Atilla the Hun must be rooted in Europe as well considering he achieved his fame in Europe’s history and Genghis Khan must be rooted in China or Anatolia or Arabic Peninsula. If you can’t see the difference between roots and historical ties/relations there is nothing to talk about.

Claiming ancient Greek culture has deep roots from Anatolia is a Western narrative if you ask me. Considering the Greek culture only managed to get in and establish footholds at mostly the shorelines with the Sea People’s invasions from the west and never managed to establish full control over Anatolia or hold their holdings for a relatively long time. By your definition you can call the Ottoman Empire having deep roots in Europe. Considering they conquered Kosovo before Istanbul. Roots and historical ties are very different things.

And there was an adventure tour I wanted to get on unfortunately they discontinued the Indonesian tour.
I don’t ever remember feeling ewww towards the moths or others like it. In my mind they are not that different than butterflies. Am I weird?

1 monthI did that too and screen didn’t even last 6 months. That’s the problem with cheap screens. You don’t get much out of them.


Is that why bluesky closed my account? How ignorant of me that I couldn’t realize someone personally blocked me but not the bluesky.
I was talking to some other people about books in general. Someone shared lost of accounts which you can follow I checked the accounts and saw that most are from sci-fi writers and publishers. So, I clicked follow all kind of a thing which let you follow everyone on the shared list. And afterwards my account was banned by bluesky. I told them what happened but they didn’t respond and I didn’t try again.
