@GCElLLC @PronouncedHare My husband was asked when he came in with arrythmia. He wasn’t dying.

@evakiwi @PronouncedHare Do. Not. Resuscitate. In order to resuscitate, you must be dead first. Has zero to do with keeping you alive. It is my job to ask for DNRs and wishes in a dying patient, bud. By law.

When my grandmother was 99 she had a pacemaker fitted. They flew her to Wellington for the operation. Before they went the guy asked her if she wanted to be resuscitated. She said yes. The guy then asked her again, explaining that it can cause quite painful injuries. She was a completely capable woman of full mental capacity and said yes she understood and please resuscitate her if she needed it. He then asked her a third time, telling her that her quality of life might be different. At that point, my grandmother turned to my father and asked “What does he want me to say?” and Dad then intervened telling the now very defensive guy to knock it off. That kind of low level pressure happens in the health system every day.

@MurfittTauranga We are paying the highest rates in the country, $9k on average. Add insurance around $5k Where does he think ratepayers are going to find water rates as well. My friends in Sydney pay $2800 in city rates. No wonder we all want to move across to Oz.

Andrew Little has announced that household water costs will significantly increase. Up to $6,000 per year over the next 10 years. He appears uneasy, stressing "under the law". What are your thoughts?

@GCElLLC @PronouncedHare Easy…when they deny you medical aid to keep you alive, they are assisting you in dying. I have seen foreigners being asked to sign DNR they don’t understand. It’s not a medics job to ask you if you want to be resuscitated. I’ll stay home if want to die, not go to hospital.

@evakiwi @PronouncedHare Explain how a DNR is “assisted dying” lol

@MarioNawfal That is dirty and more dishonourable than most other things they have done.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is reportedly scattering land mines across Iranian soil for the first time since 1991 Images from outside Shiraz show American BLU-91 anti-tank mines dropped from aircraft near ballistic missile sites. Four munitions experts confirmed they're from the U.S. Gator mine scattering system. At least one civilian is reportedly dead, a 31-year-old father. The Pentagon won't comment. But the tactical logic is clear: Iran's mobile missile launchers operate from mountain roads near these bases. Scatter mines across those roads and the launchers can't move to fire positions. Last year, Hegseth reversed the Biden-era ban on land mine use. Now we're seeing why. These weapons have a self-destruct feature that can detonate hours or days after deployment, and they're sitting in residential areas where civilians are already warning each other about "metal cans" on the ground. The U.S. hasn't used scatterable mines in combat since the Gulf War. Thirty-five years later, they're back. In neighborhoods. Source: Washington Post

@Glenn_Diesen Thank you Glen. how about your channels in Greek as well, they would appreciate.

A big thanks to the ONE MILLION subscribers and for the 45 million views over the past month. Please like, subscribe, and share so we can double this number by the end of the year. * My main motivation for this podcast is to discuss the dangerous time we live in, as the world must adjust to a multipolar distribution of power. After the Cold War, security was based on the notion of a liberal hegemonic peace, in which stability depended on the uncontested dominance of the Political West rather than on mitigating security competition between the great powers. During this era, we developed a powerful ideology that assumed peace could only exist under liberal hegemony and sovereign inequality. We insisted that our dominance was a “force for good” and even stopped discussing the security concerns of rivals. Unipolarity is already gone and has been replaced by a multipolar world—yet we still continue to follow the rules of a hegemon to the detriment of our own security. The wars against Russia, Iran, and future war with China will predictably end in tragedy as a workable peace is ignored, and the reluctance to recognise the security concerns of adversaries will continue to result in self-delusion.

@TwilightZer0 Frustrating for you when you put in so much work. It can be a thankless job. Hope it works out.

Just when I had the AliveGR revival, the greek-movies.com website has pulled much of its sources out of the page. I am going to investigate if they do a cleanup/refactoring, or if it's a sign of demise. I am also investigating potential alternative sources of content.

@krassenstein Pathetic playing good guy, bad guy, like we are a bunch of toddlers

BREAKING: Trump just said that Pete Hegseth was angry that there may be a settlement in the Iran war. He said that Hegseth doesn’t want it to be settled. "I don’t want to say this but I have to… Pete didn’t want it to be settled." In other words our Sec. of War doesn't want peace, he wants war.

@AdameMedia Shoe is in the other foot…how does it feel? Will you have more empathy now?

You’re never going to believe this 😂 Israelis are crying about damage to buildings. They’re even using the word “war crimes” You can’t make this up.

@s_m_marandi @X @elonmusk Stay safe Professor. You gave the world a glimpse of Persia, not the picture we have all been wrongly fed. Wish you long life and freedom.

For over four days, @X and @elonmusk have allowed a Zionist-Ukrainian group to use X to raise a million dollars to kidnap me. It, of course, clearly implies torture and murder. Yet not a single Western official, journalist, or media outlet will condemn it, let alone investigate.

@realstewpeters This is so wrong on every level. May the pepertrators of these attacks never sleep and be haunted for their evil.

All power is out in Cuba. Doctors are manually operating ventilators in order to keep babies alive. NICU babies will die because of Donald Trump.

@IRANinGREECE Heartbreaking to see such beauty vandalised and brutalised by the ignorant. The great Persian scholars will be looking down on this with tears.

Μεγάλες ζημιές στην πολιτιστική κληρονομιά του #Ιράν. Έχουν πληγεί 114 χώροι, μεταξύ των οποίων μουσεία και ιστορικά αξιοθέατα. Οι πράξεις αυτές παραβιάζουν τη Σύμβαση της Χάγης του 1954 για την προστασία της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς σε περίοδο ένοπλης σύρραξης.

@SamiAlArian I can hear the horses…amazing.

The Epic of Resistance 🎼 This is not just a symphony. This is what resistance sounds like. Composed by Majid Entezami, the Epic of Khorramshahr is not played… it is remembered. It carries the echo of the Battle of Khorramshahr during the Iran–Iraq War... when a city was shattered and occupied… then reclaimed by a people who refused to disappear. They believed fire would silence it. They believed steel would break it. They believed time would erase it. But they misunderstood something fundamental: You can destroy buildings… but not belief. You can occupy land… but not dignity. Listen. The violins do not mourn defeat— they rise like voices from beneath the dust. The drums are not war— they are the pulse of a nation that never stopped beating. The crescendo is not sound— it is return. Like Jerusalem… Khorramshahr fell— and then Khorramshahr rose — and so too will Jerusalem. And in its rising, a message was written into history: That oppression is loud… but resistance is eternal. Today, the same rhythm echoes— in every people who refuse humiliation, in every nation that stands when it is told to kneel, in every voice that says: enough. The oppressed the world over, do not hear this music as the past— but as a covenant. A promise carried across generations: That injustice exhausts itself. That arrogance overreaches. That truth, though tested, does not break. This is why the melody does not end. It advances— from rubble to resistance, from resistance to resurgence, from resurgence to victory. History has a pattern: Empires arrive with certainty. They leave with silence. But those who endure— write the final verse. And so the symphony continues… not as memory alone— but as prophecy. Victory is not a moment. It is a direction. And those who refuse to surrender are already moving toward it… They see victory—and joy and smiles— in Tehran and Gaza, in Beirut and Sana’a, in Baghdad and Jerusalem… in every city with a resisting soul and a tight fist... as candle by candle is rekindled, and as light by light is ignited across the world… until the darkness fades, until racism ends, and until supremacism dismantled.

@TwilightZer0 Any time you use Greek-movies.com you get bombarded with heavy porn ads and great difficulty to actually watch any serial content. For this reason have not been able to share it with any older Greeks. That’s why Alive Gr on Kodi has been great for them.

Just before deciding if I am going to return back to AliveGR development I noticed the greek-movies.com website does not have the once-rich library of cartoon movies and shows unfortunately. This in good because I don't have to worry much about copyright claims.

@FurkanGozukara Sadly, the most dangerous is always the one who has nothing more to lose.

Absolute bombshell. Col. Macgregor predicts Putin has already delivered a terrifying ultimatum to Netanyahu: If Israel dares to use a nuclear weapon in the Middle East, Russia will drop a nuclear weapon on Israel. The US has no idea what it just walked into.

@MarioNawfal No one is factoring in North Korea if he hits the power plants…

🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran just made the one threat that could bring the Gulf to its knees Iran's military headquarters warned that if its energy infrastructure is attacked, all energy, IT, and desalination facilities belonging to the U.S. and its allies in the region will be targeted. Desalination. That's the word that matters most here. Gulf nations get most of their drinking water from desalination plants. One report estimated that hitting Saudi Arabia's Jubail plant alone would force the evacuation of Riyadh's 8.5 million residents within a week. Trump just gave Iran 48 hours to open Hormuz or he starts destroying power plants. Iran just responded by putting a target on the one thing Gulf nations can't survive without: clean water.

@MarioNawfal It was also very difficult for the people of Gaza and South Lebanon to see their kids screaming in agony and no one cared.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 Drone footage shows the Iranian missile crater in Arad, sitting right between apartment buildings. Over 50 wounded. A 5-year-old girl in critical condition. Rescuers still searching the rubble. Unreal scenes. This is what this war looks like up close. Source: TOI

@ElcibeyYolunda Well described. We are all humans first and want peace to enjoy our homes and families. Think how much benefit both countries would have if threats were not made and hatred not passed down through generations. The young of both countries have the power to change history.

As Turkish and Greek people, the overwhelming majority of us DO NOT WANT WAR. More than 100 years ago, imperialist powers pitted these two nations, who had lived together for 1000 years, sharing their bread, their bulgur, their onions, their hunger, poverty, and wealth, against each other. As a result, thousands of people died on both sides. Yes, there are still political problems between these two countries today. But we must clearly acknowledge that these are FAMILY MATTERS. They are NOT anything more than a father's two sons having problems with each other. Are the Greeks my enemies? Why? Because their religion and language are different? Is it because I call it cacık and they call it tzatziki? We are capable of solving our own problems, and that's what we will do. The Turks and the Greeks both received and shared much culturally. If I asked a Greek person what their favorite food was, they might say moussaka, beans, or baklava. If you ask me, I'd say lakerda, fava beans, or bonito. We are like two different lights emitting from the same lamp. Of course, in both countries there are fanatical warmongers. But sensible Turkish and Greek people don't want such tension. WE DON'T WANT A FRATRICIDAL WAR. No politician will be able to turn brother against brother for their own interests. We will not sacrifice either the Turks or the Greeks, neither Türkiye nor Greece, to imperialist games. Ως Τούρκοι και Έλληνες, η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία μας ΔΕΝ ΘΕΛΕΙ ΠΟΛΕΜΟ. Πριν από περισσότερα από 100 χρόνια, οι ιμπεριαλιστικές δυνάμεις έφεραν αντιμέτωπα τα δύο έθνη, που ζούσαν μαζί για 1000 χρόνια, μοιράζοντας το ψωμί τους, το πλιγούρι τους, τα κρεμμύδια τους, την πείνα τους, τη φτώχεια και τον πλούτο τους. Ως αποτέλεσμα, χιλιάδες άνθρωποι πέθαναν και από τις δύο πλευρές. Ναι, εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν πολιτικά προβλήματα μεταξύ αυτών των δύο χωρών σήμερα. Αλλά πρέπει να αναγνωρίσουμε ξεκάθαρα ότι αυτά είναι ΟΙΚΟΓΕΝΕΙΑΚΕΣ ΥΠΟΘΕΣΕΙΣ. ΔΕΝ είναι τίποτα περισσότερο από τους δύο γιους ενός πατέρα που έχουν προβλήματα μεταξύ τους. Είναι οι Έλληνες εχθροί μου; Γιατί; Επειδή η θρησκεία και η γλώσσα τους είναι διαφορετικές; Είναι επειδή εγώ το ονομάζω τζατζίκι και αυτοί το ονομάζουν τζατζίκι; Είμαστε ικανοί να λύσουμε τα δικά μας προβλήματα και αυτό θα κάνουμε. Οι Τούρκοι και οι Έλληνες έλαβαν και μοιράστηκαν πολλά πολιτισμικά. Αν ρωτούσα έναν Έλληνα ποιο ήταν το αγαπημένο του φαγητό, θα μπορούσε να πει μουσακάς, φασόλια ή μπακλαβάς. Αν με ρωτάτε, θα έλεγα λακέρδα, φάβα ή παλαμίδα. Είμαστε σαν δύο διαφορετικά φώτα που εκπέμπονται από την ίδια λάμπα. Φυσικά, και στις δύο χώρες υπάρχουν φανατικοί πολεμοκάπηλοι. Αλλά οι λογικοί Τούρκοι και Έλληνες δεν θέλουν τέτοια ένταση. ΔΕΝ ΘΕΛΟΥΜΕ ΕΝΑΝ ΑΔΕΛΦΟΚΤΟΝΟ ΠΟΛΕΜΟ. Κανένας πολιτικός δεν θα μπορέσει να στρέψει αδελφό εναντίον αδελφού για τα δικά του συμφέροντα. Δεν θα θυσιάσουμε ούτε τους Τούρκους ούτε τους Έλληνες, ούτε την Τουρκία ούτε την Ελλάδα, σε ιμπεριαλιστικά παιχνίδια. #Iran #IranWar

@MarioNawfal I wonder what your position would be if you weren’t still living in Dubai where you are no longer freely permitted to show what’s happening there and grieving for the return of a very wealthy lifestyle.

In January, I was the loudest voice on X criticizing the Iranian regime. Result? All regime supporters flooded my comments calling me a ‘zionist’ and an ‘Israeli asset’ Now, as I criticize this war (I’ve always been anti-war), some pro Israeli hawks voices are labeling me a ‘regime sympathizer’ The same happened during the Gaza war: I got called both a zionist and an anti semite, and received death threats from both sides Here’s my stance so you don’t have to guess: - Very critical of the Iranian regime. What they did in January was horrific - The current war is a mistake, and if the objective is regime change, then I am very worried about Iran’s future as risks of civil war increase - I am very critical of what Israel did in Gaza and the West Bank, and more nuanced on their attacks on Hezbollah and Iran - I believe Hezbollah should be disarmed - The U.S. objective in this war is control of the Strait of Hormuz, to beat China in the AI race. I’ve always said I want the U.S. to win the AI arms race, as I do not want to live in a world where AI is controlled by an autocracy - As an Australian citizen, I am a believer in our democratic way of life and have always been critical of anyone threatening democracies (EU, Brazil, Pakistan). But this does not mean I support the various interest groups pushing our world into endless wars - As the son of a religious Christian family, I respect all religions, but don’t think religion should ever justify wars Did I miss anything?

@TwilightZer0 We look forward to it. Thanks for all the work and time you put in. Είσαι τρομερός!

I 've done some significant work on AliveGR and all the accompanying libraries while I prepare for the 3.0.0 version! New logo too!
