"The insistence on a military approach and the rejection of a political solution will only further complicate the situation," said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan during their phone call, according to a statement from Tehran. #Ιράν #ΣαουδικήΑραβία #Χούθι (translated)

R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

Veron wrote that he was looking forward to the return of the championship and the derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos. He appreciated that the three-week break for the national teams likely benefited Olympiakos, as the players who stayed behind had time to work, while the team, as he said, viewed the match as an important opportunity for a competitive and communicative "return." Regarding Panathinaikos, he mentioned that the break may have affected their rhythm and streak, but that the retention of several key players might have had a positive effect. He added that the team seemed to be expecting a strong reaction from Olympiakos and wanted to play their own game, rather than adjust to the opponent. He acknowledged that this approach had risks but said that this is how teams gain identity. Finally, he noted that everyone at the club really wanted the win, but that it was important to consider the long-term impact of the result, and expressed his faith in "Nistoupism" and the team. #Πρωτάθλημα #Ντέρμπι #Ολυμπιακός (translated)

XristosUE commented on a video thread about the Olympiacos–Efes match, noting the return of Milutinov, the dominance in rebounds, and the excellent performance of Jones. He mentioned the intensity in defense, with more energy and better communication from the weak side, as well as the "Pack the Paint" tactic that, as he said, Bi wanted. He also highlighted the Fournier–Vezenkov cooperation in the pick-and-roll, McIntyre's vertical play, Montero's versatility, and the energy of Ward and Enjai. He described the second period as very poor and mentioned an especially interesting week in Spain. #Olympiacosbc #Basketball #EuroLeague (translated)

The Pointguard strongly criticized the PAO BC for the allegations against Bartzokas and the angry articles on a website that he described as its mouthpiece. He stated that these practices were ridiculous and that they portrayed Bartzokas more as a victim than brought any substantial or communicative benefit. He added that the team should now focus solely on basketball. #paobc #μπάσκετ #καταγγελίες (translated)

🚨 Today we asked something very simple about the filling up in Tempes: Pavlos Marinakis had declared that the "work" was done to lift the carriages and find people alive. Adonis Georgiadis said that voices and cries could be heard. Makarios Lazaridis said it was a matter of human lives. 📌 However, the official report states that the last trapped survivors had been freed by 00:20. When large cranes and a bulldozer started arriving around 04:00, the operation was now about retrieving bodies. ❓ So we asked: Were you uninformed about what had really happened or were you consciously lying that the cranes were going to retrieve living people? ❌ To this question, the government spokesman did not respond. 🎯 Instead of answering, he followed the classic tactic: He tried to divert the discussion, attacking the journalist who posed the question, talking again about "career" and "weaponizing" human pain. ❓ But who is really making a career out of this case? The journalist who asks what the relatives want to be asked or a government spokesman who is paid to defend the government's positions? 💬 We are neither paid based on whether the government does well nor do we have any interest in whether a government that defends what happened after the accident will communicate well. Another ⚠️ And most importantly: these questions are raised by the relatives themselves. How is it that the one who conveys the relatives' question is "weaponizing" their pain, while the one who represents a government that treats the relatives as opponents (according to their statement) appears to be the one who respects human pain? 🔴 Then he said something else. That then he "had no such authority." And immediately afterward claimed that later he simply "transfers the real data as they are." ❓ But if he had no authority and did not know what had happened on the ground, how did he know that the work was done to find people alive? ⚖️ Here there are two possibilities. Either they did not know what had really happened and yet they spoke publicly with certainty. Or they did know. One is a huge issue of criminal incompetence. The other is much worse. 🕯️ And we are talking about a case in which there are people mourning their children and relatives. 🔎 That’s why we insisted. We asked him again, now that there is an official report: Do you still insist that the specific work was done to find people alive? Do you still stand by what you said then? ❌ He did not answer there either. ⚽ And then the familiar refrain followed. The ball is in the stands. 🎭 The classic Machiavellian tactic: I do not answer today to what you are asking me. I load it onto a third party and preferably into an indefinite future, when perhaps I won’t even be here to bear the political cost of the answer. ⚖️ The "independent" Justice will decide. Somehow. Somewhere. Someday. 📍 In short: you ask him if he acknowledges that the government made inaccuracies about the filling up and if he still defends what he said then. And instead of answering, he tells you that Justice, somehow, somewhere, someday, will decide. #Τεμπη #Τεμπη_εγκλημα #Τεμπη #Δικαιοσυνη #Ερωτηματα (translated)

11 years after I graduated with distinction from my master's in Petroleum Engineering, I walked through the door of one of the largest oil companies. 11 years ago, just before I completed my studies, I was selected among thousands of students in the United Kingdom for Shell's graduate program. But a few months later, oil prices were so low that every new investment froze, along with all recruitment programs. I worked in any job I could to make a living. From university conducting research to being a waiter and a mathematics teacher. I later returned to Greece and worked for a large Greek shipping company in Piraeus. There, I experienced the medieval times in the workplace. Insults, shouting, belittlement. From a person high up in the hierarchy but with far less knowledge and ability than me. When I realized that the situations I was living through were sick and that I was at risk of becoming like those who had gotten used to them, I made the decision to resign. I resigned in a way that made an impact. My resignation became a catalyst for many changes, and that toxic person was finally fired six months later. For 13 years, he shattered many souls, but today I owe him a thank you. Due to what I experienced with him, I decided to immigrate to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, I experienced another world. Respect, opportunities, recognition of value. Until today, I have always had leaders with abilities, knowledge, and above all, immense wisdom in managing people. Managing people through communication according to each person's personality, not through power and fear. In my new position, I was asked to travel to Norway representing my team. I just finished a presentation with representatives from major companies in the field present. Dozens of nationalities. Different backgrounds. But everyone shared the same culture. A culture of collaboration, respect, and safety (mental and physical) at work. I received compliments immediately after the presentation from my team leadership. A leadership that does not hesitate to reward. A leadership that inspires by example and shows genuine interest in the well-being of its team members in practice. As I was leaving the building, I took this photo to remember that it took me 11 years. 11 years after completing my studies in the field, I found myself crossing the threshold of a company in the industry. It's never too late... As long as you make the decision to leave any rotten environment before it starts rotting you too. #Norway #Netherlands #Νορβηγία #Ολλανδία #ΜηχανικήΠετρελαίου #Δημοσίευση #Εργασία (translated)
