Neograničeni letovi prvom klasom za ceo život!

Neograničeni letovi prvom klasom za ceo život! American Airlines i katastrofa sa AAirpass-om Reklamne kampanje dolaze i odlaze. Dok većina nikada ne postigne značajan rezultat, neke se završe toliko loše da se zapitate kako ti rukovodioci zarađuju toliko novca sa tako malo moždanih ćelija. Ali, to je lepota retrospektive. Ovo je priča o American Airlines-u i genijalnoj reklamnoj kampanji koja je…

[darko-pribeg]

Kad se pojavi idući impuls, intencija da nešto poduzmeš, pokreneš, da nekamo usmjeriš pažnju, nešto promijeniš, postigneš, poboljšaš… to može biti i najmanja svakodnevna stvar.. zapitaj se - Odakle dolazi ovaj impuls? Iz kojeg dijela mene? Tko je taj koji želi, mora, treba, nešto napraviti, postići, promijeniti?

I ako se iskreno zapitate i pustite da pravi odgovor ispliva, vrlo često odgovor će biti - ego. Ego je taj koji nešto mora, kojem je bitno, koji kreće u akciju iz otpora prema onom što jest.

Onaj pravi mi, ono što jesmo ispod slojeva identifikacije sa slikom o tome što smo i što nam treba - taj pravi mi nema potrebe, njemu ništa ne smeta, njemu ništa nije krivo, ništa mu ne nedostaje. Taj mi je već potpun, potpuno zadovoljan i potpuno u miru.

I ako primijetimo da je sljedeća intencija krenula iz ideje ega (a ideja ega je između ostalog i ideja da je potrebno da oslobodimo onog pravog sebe (pravi ja nema tu ideju jer se nikad ni ne osjeća zarobljeno..)), da li ima smisla uložiti svoj fokus i energiju u tom smjeru? Ili više nema potrebe za tim? I primjećujemo da kad samo primijetimo da je to bila želja ega, instant u trenutku postajemo lakši, mirniji, protočniji, potpuniji, tj. prepoznajemo da to sve jesmo uvijek - ispod vela iluzije ega..

Cashtokens Upgrade 3 Months Out: BCH Developers Building NFT Creator Studio, Marketplaces, Wallets, and More

Little Green Monsters, Gurus, Cats, and Prediction Markets After the May 15, 2023 Bitcoin Cash upgrade, which effectively enables smart contracts onchain for BCH by utilizing unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), much development has been ongoing on the network surrounding Cashtokens, a feature that has inspired the creation of numerous non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and marketplaces like tapswap.cash. NFT sales and trading activity are still modest compared to other networks, with marketplaces in their nascent stages, and decentralized exchanges (dexs) in test phases. That notwithstanding, development has been occurring at an industrious pace in the background, as advocates of Cashtokens point to the power of the upgraded chain to enable even more types of permissionless peer-to-peer exchange directly onchain, for lower fees than other leading protocols. Some NFT collections of note include Emerald DAO, Bitcats Heroes Club, and BCH Gurus. As developer Jason Dreyzehner mentioned to Bitcoin.com News back in May: “Suddenly it was possible to build very efficient, UTXO-based decentralized applications while preserving important features of Bitcoin Cash: stateless transaction validation (low fees) and zero-delay re-spending (fast transactions).” Paytaca, creator of the Cashtokens-friendly Paytaca wallet, is now working on a tool to enable anyone to create their own NFTs via a project called Cashtokens Studio. CEO of Paytaca Joemar Taganna is also involved with the Bitcats Heroes Club NFTs. Taganna told Bitcoin.com news: There is a need now for a tool for the general public that will allow anyone to create tokens using the Cashtokens protocol. Currently, the process is largely manual, so it is tedious and error-prone. That’s why we are building Cashtokens Studio. One popular NFT project springing up after the May upgrade has been the BCH Gurus. This project is a multi-dimensional NFT endeavor which is currently building price prediction games fueled by NFTs and other tokens on the new protocol. “The Cashtokens upgrade has allowed for an entirely new ecosystem to develop directly on Bitcoin Cash mainchain,” the BCH Guru Team told Bitcoin.com News via Telegram, elaborating: “The BCH Guru combines the fun and addictive element of a uniquely designed NFT collection, along with a fungible token (Furu), allowing users to play price prediction games onchain through a Cashtokens smart contract.” Community and Tech Developments, Crypto Custody Ethos Noting that Cashtokens’ simple token primitives “that can allow you to create most (if not all) of defi applications you see in other chains” will require some tooling developed from scratch, Taganna says his group is “happy to take on part of that huge challenge.” Speaking of Bitcoin Cash development over the last few years, the Paytaca CEO notes: “The BCH community is becoming more vibrant and productive, a breath of fresh air from the prior years of political conflict leading to splits. We now have individuals, dev teams, and entrepreneurs, supported by well-aligned donors / investors, all working together to make the peer-to-peer cash revolution happen.” Part and parcel of refusing to compromise on Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision for a money which can’t be censored and can be traded with no need for a financial institution — an ethos enthusiastically championed by many in Bitcoin Cash communities — is keeping complete control over one’s crypto. Non-custodial bitcoin cash wallets supporting the Cashtokens upgrade include Paytaca, Electron Cash, Cashonize, and Zapit. What are your thoughts on this story?

Walenie przez całą noc, poranny szlug, klony zapite kawą i idę udawać, że żyję.

U svom životu upoznajete ljude. Na neke više nikada ne pomislite. Za neke se pitate što im se dogodilo. Postoje neki za koje se zapitate razmišljaju li ikada o vama. A onda postoje neki o kojima biste poželjeli da nikada više niste morali razmišljati.

[netrazime]

Prilagođavajući se drugima i tuđoj volji s vremenom počnete gubiti sebe. A kada izgubite sebe postanete tužni i neispunjeni i obično ne znate razlog tome jer više ni ne razmišljate svojom glavom nego razmišljate kako da se postavite da drugima ugodite. Upadnete u taj začarani krug gdje vam skroz nesvjesno postane nebitno vaše mišljenje i osjećaji, i uporno se prilagođavate tudjoj volji i željama kako bi oni oko vas bili sretni. Zapitate li se ikad koliko ste vi zapravo sretni u tom svemu? Iskorištavaju li vas pojedinci samo kako bi sebi punili baterije, a vas stalno ostavljali na rezervi? Jeste li sretni uopće sa ljudima oko sebe ili ste sretni samo kada nešto učinite za njih dok je njih briga za vas i vaše emocije? Ako je ovo drugo, nadam se da znate što vam je činiti. Daleko od njih.

Wesele (2021)

Smarzol prosto z trzewi. Treści żołądkowe z wszystkich dotychczasowych filmów zjedzone i zapite wódką, wyrzygują na ekran w gorzkiej konstatacji. Ale i nadużyciach narracyjnych. "Wesele" idzie w rejestry beznadziejne, tyleż wulgarnie prostackie, co czasem celne, ale równie często przesadzone. To nadal Smarzowski, to nadal wysokiej jakości kino, ale niebezpiecznie zbliża się do ściany, za którą zaczyna się degradacja typu Vegi i tanie atencyjności. Zero zarzutów w warstwie estetycznej. Bardzo udany zabieg artystyczny z kiczowatym filmem ślubnym remixującym zjawy głosów przeszłości i tandety ślubnej. Światy stopniowo mieszają się, aż do ostatecznego zrównania, co jest chyba najmocniejszym momentem filmu. Oniryczne w efekcie, mocne narzędzie. Po raz kolejny obrzydliwość tradycji wesela, autor wykorzystuje do obśmiania i skrajnie przekontrastowanego spojrzenia na Polaków. Z pewnego jasno określonego siedzenia, co może drażnić. Cóż, fani autora będą zadowoleni, ci, którzy lubią babrać się w niestrawionej wódzie z weselną sałatką również. Ja - choć zaliczam się do obu zbiorów - to jednak mam pewne uczucie przesady.

Da li ste primjetili koliko je samo pravih ljubavi ugaseno zbog inata? Onih ljubavi koje vas ni godinama poslije nisu prosle, i tog dana kada se probudite sa pogresnom osobom kraj vas, zapitate se sta bi bilo da se nisam inatio toliko? Zar je vrijedno citav zivot provesti sa pogresnom osobom zbog inata? Ponekad je vrijednije staviti inat ispred nego vlastitu srecu, valjda je ono sto moramo svi da radimo, lazemo sebe a idemo spavati sa pogresnima. Uzmimo minutu sutnje za sve pale ljubavi. Mozda se jednog dana ipak uvjerimo da je bilo vrijedno.

Bunch of anons about Carina and Roswell NM drama

Under the cut because it’s long and gossipy...

Anonymous said: Whatever nonsense Carina may have been up to with Jeanine and Nathan, both the leads have seemed to keep their private issues to themselves by not telling other cast or friends. That's why it angers me that the person who leaked the information disregarded Jeanine as a person and victim.

I’m of two minds on this.  On one hand I totally agree and I hate that Jeanine’s name was drug into this and her involvement was shared by the multiple inside sources, but on the other hand I do not like Carina, I think she was awful to work for, and I think it’s a good thing if it’s know in the industry that she created friction on set and was investigated by HR.  

She was so unprofessional, just from what we could see as fans, that she should NOT be put in charge of another show any time soon. So I think for the sake of people she will work with in the future, it’s a good thing it’s out there.  She has a whole lot of growing to do before she should ever work in television again. 

You make a good point about Jeanine and Nathan keeping their business to themselves.  Carina is out there over-sharing constantly, putting every neurosis on full display, and forcing half the cast to be out drinking and entertaining her on a regular basis. While those two, kept quiet and out of the spotlight. In interviews/panels they’ve both been completely professional, doing their jobs while also being charming, funny and eloquent.  

It was obvious to those of us watching closely that all was not well between J/N and Carina when the season started shooting. Carina was bitchier when she talked about them and those characters than she had been before, and J/N were nowhere to be seen in her braggy out-partyin’-with-my-cast IG stories and posts.  

As you say, it doesn’t look like J/N tried to drag any other cast or crew into whatever the issue was. I’m not sure the same can be said for Carina, that speaks volumes about the character of all involved. 

Anonymous said: I saw that abnormallyadam is doing a live social media thing with Jeanine and Vlamis soon. I guess we might get more information then and if Jeanine decides to say anything.

How hilarious would it be if Adam gets the scoop of a lifetime!?

I’m guessing this chat or whatever it is was set up before Jeanine and Vlamis knew the studio was going to swoop in and make their lives a whole lot better by firing Carina. So it will be interesting to see if it still happens on schedule or if it’s postponed for awhile.  

If it does go on, I think they will probably cover it really quickly and superficially like Vlamis did when he was schilling his merch the other night and then move on.  They won’t deep dive into it, that’s for sure. 

Anonymous said: Carina has been tweeting incessantly today! Like tweeting about other meaningless things won't make people forget lol. Also about that anon message you received about unfollowing nathan - wowwww she used to be up his butt.

Yes, remember the days when Carina used him as her social media crutch (every post she makes like that with a hot actor or country singer is basically her rampant insecurities saying: “hey look at the hot guy(s) who hang out with me and take pictures with me, it means I have value ya’ll!”) before she moved onto Trevino and then Vlamis.  So sad.   

They were clearly friends after The Originals and she invited him to audition.  I’m glad she did, he’s great in the role. Although it sounds like he was lucky that the President of the CW saw him and told her he was a leading man, since she didn’t see him as a lead. Sometime a friend’s preconceived notions might actually hold a person back... 

Who knows what happened, but just knowing human nature and Carina’s energy, I’ve always wondered if she thought she was going to have her friend on set and he was gonna be her social crutch, her go-to to entertain her and party with her, but right off the bat he and Jeanine got together so during the first season filming he wasn’t so much interested in the single, going-out partying lifestyle that she’s clearly addicted to and that rankled her a bit. Perhaps she lost her party buddy to her leading lady, and the loss of that attention “displeased” her. (to quote Kamran who said Carina told the writers to punish actors who displeased her by reducing their screen time. Interesting thought, no?)

Anonymous said: Well the interesting thing is some of the other people she follows don't post much either and she continues to follow them. Interesting interesting.

I know. She didn’t unfollow him because of that. That was definitely a show of cutting ties with him. It was probably in a fit of rage because she can’t unfollow Jeanine (because that would look terrible).  Also she has been so humiliated between being unceremoniously fired and losing her development deal with WB, the Hollywood Reporter article making her look terrible, and that writer spilling tea, that my guess is she’s hoping to shift focus to someone else and she knows unfollowing him will make us all wonder why. 

Anonymous said: Well shoot, maybe it was Nathan and not Jeanine who went to hr? And Carina found out? Or Nathan took the fall? Sorry I'm just going down a rabbit hole of conspiracy.

In my opinion there’s no reason to think those sources got it wrong. I would guess that Jeanine was involved, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t also involve Nathan.  Those two are a self-professed team, so no reason to think they wouldn't be in this instance as well. 

Anonymous said: Does this mean she'll unfollow Jeanine too??

I’m sure she wants to, but she can’t unless she wants to confirm that, yes, there was friction on the set and, yes, there was a specific problem with her leading lady.

Carina went out of her way to try and combat the “rumors” about her and Jeanine not getting along, addressing the situation in her goodbye post-- drawing more attention to it in the process-- so unfollowing her now would just make her look foolish and like everything she said was a lie and everything from the inside sources is true.  

Anonymous said: Carina will definitely do something stupid. She can't help herself. But even though there's no reason to follow Nathan, he's been inactive on Twitter for over a year and for her to unfriend now during this drama and mess...how is that a coincidence?

As I said above, I know it’s not a coincidence.  She’s dumb because by doing that she pretty much confirmed that there was friction on the set.  If there wasn’t, she wouldn’t be unfollowing the person in the main cast who she was closest too prior to the show. 

Part of me wonders if, as an old friend, she asked him for something (to defend her or a show of support) and he wouldn't do it.  Perhaps she’s most hurt by him not supporting her since they were friends before and she did give him a lead role on a network show (and also accidentally introduced him to his girlfriend.)  Maybe she thought he owed her and he didn't step up to defend her or even just give a tacit show of support by responding to her social media posts on leaving??

I’m guessing if he had come out of social media hibernation to give her one of those paltry “Thanks for everything” responses to her IG post like the other actors she wouldn't have unfollowed him. 

Anonymous said: Someone said the writer deleted all his tweets about Carina.

Not surprising, it was a crazy spree he was on, who wants to bet that he got contacted by a lawyer late Friday night?

I’m sure Carina was doing everything in her power to threatened him and to get him to stop. 

Anonymous said: I remember the writer also referring to Nathan as Carina's "friend." Is it in quotations because they are not actually friends? Frenemy? Carina was recently saying nice things about Nathan so based on her perspective, she thinks they were still on good terms?

Well they were apparently friends before he was cast, what happened after that is hard to say. They seemed fine during the promotion of season 1, but as soon as season 2 started filming, Carina’s tone when talking about him and Max got ugly and Nathan and Jeanine were staying far away from her socially. I mean Jeanine hosted a ladies Friendsgiving at their house, where 40 women from the cast and crew came over for a Thanksgiving feast, but the female showrunner wasn’t there. Hmmmm...

However, this spring things seemed to have thawed a bit.  Jeanine and Carina would occasionally like each other’s IG post (someone pointed out to me that had stopped during summer of 2019 and they didn’t engage with each other’s posts much if at all during S2 filming) Jeanine and Carina did that IG live and Carina was talking positively about Nathan and Max and seemed to be setting him up for a big season 3 with the dual roles and talking excitedly about that, so honestly, to me, it seemed like they had made their peace.  Perhaps Carina getting fired (and the straw that broke the camel’s back on that was clearly her idiotic tirade against the UK distributor) brought back up all the issues??? Or maybe Carina blamed them because of the prior issues? Or maybe they didn’t support her with the studio when she was trying to salvage her job? All I know is that Carina’s public behavior on social media is enough grounds to fire her, so she has no business blaming anyone but herself. 

Anonymous said: Someone said to the writer that jeanine, amber and nathan are staying silent on the matter and kamran replied that "Silence speaks louder than words." just above that they also were wondering who Carina harassed and bullied into silence? was it nathan?

Who knows... ask the writer. 

Anonymous said: Carina going from Zapit straight to writing for TVD is peak white privilege. After that THR article you could tell she believed a little too much how far that privilege would get her. Good riddance. Good luck getting another job for being such a big liability. I don't see any corporation hiring her again.

I think the only way she’s getting another job in TV anytime soon is if Julie gives it to her. She’s talented, once she grows up maybe she’ll be capable of running a show, but it was clear from the peanut gallery she should never have been given that amount of responsibility that she had on RNM.

Young Justice, Season 3

[asweetjane]

Kada pređete dvadeset i petu, vreme je da se zapitate s kime ste se družili prethodnih godina i na koji način vas je to dovelo do onoga što ste sada.

Nije slučajno što ćutite ako vam je neko govorio da previše pričate.

Nije slučajno što mislite da ste dosadni ako vas neko od najbližih nije slušao.

Nije slučajno što verujete da ste naporni ako s nekim iz užeg kruga jedva uspevate da komunicirate.

Nije slučajno što nemate strasti ako za ono najbolje u vama ljudi nisu imali sluha.

Nije slučajno što ste postali prosečni ako ste dobijali poruke da ne treba da talasate.

Naravno, prijatelje ste birali sami. Dakle, sve je počinjalo i završavalo u vama. Ali dokle ćete vući za rukav ljude kojima jednostavno nije dovoljno stalo? I dokle ćete pristajati na to da budete nule?

Kada se pređe dvadeset i peta vreme je da se sedne sam sa sobom, napravi kafa i započne jedno novo prijateljstvo - sa sobom. Ko vidi u vama ono što ste zaista vi, i ko ne želi da to menja ili unižava, rado će biti deo tog prijateljstva. A vi ćete napokon biti dobro društvo, i sebi i drugima.

Zapitate li se: koliko daleko čovek ode tražeći sreću?

Jurimo, tražimo, ostajemo razočarani.

Ne zato što ona ne postoji, ili zato što nije nama "sudjena".

Tako je jer ne tražimo srcem.

Zaboravljamo da je ono radar, i jedino sposobno da sreću prepozna.

Jer ona nema standardni oblik, ili veličinu.

Može se sakriti na raznim mestima.

U prvom prolećnom pupoljku.

Prvoj pahulji. I prvom požutelom listu.

Naizgled malo, ali značajnije od svega velikog što na ovom svetu postoji.

Nečija čak ima i ime.

Moja se na tvoje odaziva.
