@onlmaps Here it would be much more interesting to see bear population density per km2. Romania would have 2.51 bears/km2, Slovakia 2.24 bears per 100km2 and Sweden 0.733 bears/km2.
@pony I have no clue about the half-burning coal mining waste places, but artillery practice ranges are seriously interesting - I hear from 1st hand accounts. Since these military areas are a no-go for most people, wilderness seriously overtakes. Occasional mechanical turmoil does not harm small plants that much (trees are another story of course), but what is most striking what people tell me is the number and behaviour of wild game animals. First of all, they are plentiful. Second, since they are not hunted there, they do not consider humans a threat. In result, one can meet a herd of deer, or a family of wild boar from really close close-up.
@pony The point is, aggressive plants are what we call "weeds". And actually it's those weaklings we often want to have on grasslands and meadows - because they for example provide nutrition to animals, flowers for insects, or enrich the soil, etc.
@pony re lol: Maybe you'd be surprised, but there actually is some serious science behind that - and actually, quite plenty of it.
@EU_Commission Interesting. Shows which countries "promise" and which "deliver" (red outline).
➡️ Hungary, looking at you!

@apilsetas This raises such emotions in me...
@sesivany right. my morning coffee did not kick in yet 😄
@sesivany you've got the 252% wrong. There's no decimal point in that figure. Whatever the source of this, but it seems to rather say that it's 25k% growth - which is staggering.
war porn, tank explosion, turret throw

I don't like posting this sort of stuff, somebody died there. But technically speaking, this is a clear shot of a crazy Russian tank explosion throwing its turret to a record altitude.
@Laszlo Very nice. Sorry for naivete, can you share a bit about how you make such photographs?
@baldur it's the writing where the value lies, not in the tooling around it.
@baldur Totally agree. A directory of markdown text notes/files is just about what one needs. Potentially structured and/or in a git repo, but that's about it. Or anything else equivalent - e.g., a plain wiki or such. Whatever fancy tooling around is just as you say: fog.
@jens (and here I shall stop my rescuer tendencies triggering me 😄 - unless prompted/asked)
@jens I am glad this is a little bit helpful. So to speed up some reading and sifting through chaff, here I dig up some stuff from my own journals:
* https://bpdfamily.com/content/karpman-drama-triangle -- also on how to escape the triangle and a lot of the context too.
* playing a rescuer role is one of the most intriguing pieces in all this. For me, it collided with my sense of "how to be a good person" which equaled (and still to some extent does equal - if left unchecked) to help others, i.e., some form of rescue - which is somehow wrong - they say... But how wrong it was, was seriously intriguing to me for a long time. Until...
* ... until I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSdODaTeHXw - the most striking point was when the psychologist says that rescuer's intrinsic position is to see people as "one-down". Which horrified me (as it clashes with some other deep values hold) and opened my eyes to what is really going on.
Good luck there!
@jens Just one "fav" to the first toot of the thread. I am not going to comment much, there's a lot to unpack there. And I also sense a personal struggle behind all this (in a sense of trying to make a sense of this). Just: 1) "thank you very much for this". 👍 and 2) this is a good path and it leads out of the quagmire you describe.
@jens The whole thread is good, thanks for it. I react here (though I was triggered several times already):
> so what's the choice for them
Here's a proper psych theory about the dynamics you describe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpman_drama_triangle
Keywords: Karpman drama triangle, co-dependency, emotional abuse
There is a way out of the triangle and it is by refusing to participate in the dynamics. I experienced it as an "escape through the centre" of the triangle. There are smart articles and youtube videos on this just a google search away.
