That's your opinion, and I have to accept it. But for me, fascism starts when people are classified just by the colour of their skin, their religion or their sexual preferences. In 1933, the same happened in Germany, and we all know what happened to Europe after that 
At the end of the day, there is good and bad in all races or countries for sure. What I say now may sound weird since I come from this background and immigrated during the same period of time, so I basically benefited from this (chaotic immigration). But, and that's a big but, what she says is 100% accurate. I won't live in neighborhoods with a high population of Middle Eastern immigrants.. I have been to some of these places and it's not a place where you want to live if you're not one of them. and by being one of them I am not referring to the race! I am referring to the mentality. A Syrian friend of mine who lives in Sweden was attacked brutally by a group of Middle Easterns who live in the same neighborhood and left bleeding just because he's openly Atheist. I don't see your comparison accurate because the Jewish population in Europe didn't impose a cultural threat to the European communities. Nazis just wanted a racial enemy to fuel their populism, Jews fit well since immigrant communities didn't exist back then. Fascists will always find an enemy or even invent one... Muslim communities in Europe on the other hand are growing rapidly and may change the demographic situation in Europe. And guess what, this change isn't for the favor of the Western values and civil rights that women and men fought decades to achieve! Fascists / neo Nazis are always happy to find new enemies to increase their popularity. But to prevent them from doing so you should try to solve the root of the problem. I totally understand the concerns and even fear of the average European citizen. I myself have more concerns in this regard! Thank you so much for your contribution, Cyrax! As always very eloquent, extremely well substantiated and showing a lot of insight. I greatly appreciate it! And especially this what you said, which is exactly what's at the heart of it all! And guess what, this change isn't for the favor of the Western values and civil rights that women and men fought decades to achieve! It has nothing whatsoever to do with fascism nor racism. (People these days are so quick to accuse you of the latter as well.) Again, thank you! Reading it in other words from another person's view, a man at that, might shed some better light at what I meant :)

It must indeed have been tricky to shoot. But Terry said in interview he never captured nor saw prey because of the camera crew.
These were highly experienced outdoors people who used camouflage and whatnot and weren't that close to the prey. I believe they also made false track every now and then. They indeed went back to do certain shots later on. Can't have been easy to do all that. I found a whole lot of episodes that I hadn't seen yet and am still watching. Yesterday watched 2 good ones from season 4. One was with 2 blond sisters who went running off in very short skirts and bare legs. The cameraman must've had a field day, haha. Then 1, who also did pole-dancing, scratched her leg and whined about that. Yeah, deuuuhh!! What do you expect when you go off in the wilderness like that? LOL Another episode was with 2 citidiots, one quite fat and big mouthed. He was having a hard time, at some point thought he was getting a heart attack. Unbelievable that such unfit overweight people even sign up for it. At some point he was saying stuff like hitting mantracker with a stick and cutting the horse's Achille's heel with his knife? WTF? Was a good watch as you cannot wait for mantracker to chase such nasty people down, at the very least. I think I found that the best episode yet, haha. So I'm not done with the series yet :D |

I had a few fries, minced beef Bretons, and a nice salad with all kinds of things in it (cheese, nuts, raisins, tiny bacon pieces etc).

I prefer the full length episodes.
I did notice at some point the editing was weird a couple of times. For instance Terry saying they were going to tether the horses to go check something out concerning the prey. You then see them tie the horses to a tree. But the very next scene both Terry and his sidekick are riding their horses again? I was like, "Did I doze off???" I was curious what Terry had planned to do but never got to see it. Oh well, I've seen most episodes by now, so it's okay to get a bit bored with it, hihi. I have enjoyed it though. Some episodes were really good. You know, I'm not certain but I think maybe in season 3 the area they were in was more equal in chances for both tracker and prey. In other episodes it was mostly in favour of the prey, always having opportunity to get up or down a high slope or something. That's what was p*ssing the tracker of, but me as well. Takes the fun out of it when you know the prey do that each and every time. Makes it too predictable. Time for something new :) |

Having watched quite a lot of them now, close to all of 'em, I feel the first ones I watched were the best. I believe those were all season 3 episodes.
After those I kind of feel the same as you. But maybe that's also because I binge them. Often when you watch a show on and on it starts to wear thin. Whereas if you watch 1 a week they remain exciting and fresh for a long time. |

I do agree with that, but that's not what's going on here at all. So the fascism label isn't applicable at all.
You can be okay with religions and other cultures but doesn't mean they fit into your own country. Skin colour is irrelevant. The way it is we are being discriminated, have less rights and get less and pay more for the same services. And many refugees aren't even refugees but fortune seekers. And they pose a serious threat to us -esp girls and women- based on their religion and cultural beliefs. Maybe you're okay with all that, I'm not. We too have rights and being safe in your own country is certainly one of them. And I know this is the same in all western EU countries, including Germany. That immediately sets aside Ukrainian people who are real refugees, and generally very well behaved. They also blend into our culture more easily. They're also very grateful for what they get. That's how it should be. |

Since you mention finding the first 4 seasons on Tubi...
I haven't come across a single episode beyond season 4 on YouTube either? And there have been 7 seasons... I watched a couple of them last night, I will say that the ones on tubi, I do not think they are in order. By looking at the wiki site for the show, it says the first season is only 24 minute shows and season 2-7 are 46 minute shows...all the ones on tubi look to be the 46 minute shows. And the show they list as Season one, Episode one, one of the guys on it talks about watching the show for a while...lol Season 7 should be an easy one to spot also, it will have Chad Savage Lenz as the mantracker instead of the Terry Grant you like... I've come across the shorter ones on YT as well. And I read about the replacement tracker. Only one season so I gather he wasn't liked as much. A daft move of production. You can't simply replace a main character, not even on a docu. They should've given Terry the pay-rise he wanted. Better lose a bit of money than to lose the entire show and all your income of it. |

I've always believed in it, found it too but it didn't last.
I still believe in it, but what I do see a helluva lot with men my age is that they demand way too many things. The image they have of a partner is too detailed, totally filled in. It leaves little room for... anything really. For instance, they play golf and expect & demand you play it too, or you have to learn it. They ride a motor bike and expect you to as well, or you will have to learn it. It's all 'must do this' and 'must have that' and must be this'. In the end you get something that no person can live up to. And why can't men simply keep an open mind and curiosity about who someone is and what they're like? Then there's a vast group that never had children. Their lifestyle isn't compatible as all they do is go to parties, festivals, concerts, hiking, sky-diving, more parties & festivals and so on. |

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/dutch-elections-rob-jetten-geert-wilders-results-b2855067.html That looks pretty tight alright. But let's hope, that fascist will be kicked out 
Geert Wilders is not a fascist! He's the one who wants to stop our country from being exploited. Which has happened for decades and has bled us dry. It needs to stop. Women and young girls aren't even safe anymore, get attacked, pulled off bicycles, threatened, harassed and so on. We have become prisoners in our own country. Aside from that, our own population numbers are declining, yet the number of inhabitants has increased a helluva lot! This is caused by the vast amount of refugees we have to take on. And most of them are from cultures that do not gel with ours. It's gotten out of hand and has to stop. It's utterly ridiculous that the majority of our people voted for Geert Wilders in 2023, yet he didn't become our PM because other politicians were pestering him and refused to form a coalition with him? But... we are a democracy?! Meaning we get the PM & leadership we choose! It clearly doesn't work that way. That is fascism. Not him and what he wants. What he wants is what would revive our country, something we direly need. |

I see tubi has the first four season there (free). I will add it to the list of shows to watch...lol https://tubitv.com/series/300006576/mantracker Yes, check it out! I think it's a good show. Just something different to watch. What I do find shocking is that the 'prey' sometimes use barely visible tripwire. That I find ridiculous as it could serious hurt the tracker and/or his horse. So I guess their backpacks aren't checked before the start. At some point a woman threated the tracker with a slingshot? The interesting thing to observe is that almost all underestimate the primal fear of being capture/killed. They brag about their physical strength and bladibla. Yet often, when it's all over, they all say it feels like being chased by a real (serial) killer. The primal fear gets triggered which they clearly had no knowledge of. Except when they had 2 military vets that were trained for exactly that. It does make me wonder how many of them have recurring nightmares afterwards, hihi. I'd never participate myself. F that! But to watch it on the screen... good entertainment! |

Love works out the way you are. In other words, what resonates with you.
If you have a skewed belief & view about relationships, that's what you will attract & manifest. If your self-esteem and self-love, feeling of worthiness, are low, you cannot attract a great partner. If you have a good healthy view & belief of relationships, healthy levels of self-love and self-esteem, it shouldn't be very difficult. Love certainly isn't hard work and fighting for it to last and so on. In a good relationship you may have the occasional bump, but you talk about it and move on. |

Feeling good :)
Went to get more knitting yarn for the pixy vest I'm making, then got some more groceries in, taking advantage of the fact I was with the car. Meaning I can get more heavy stuff in one go than on my bicycle. Now done. Coffee, cake, got a nice lasagna for dinner. |

He's only 5' 9" without the hat. Considering I'm never going to meet him nor date him that doesn't matter. But have to disappoint you regardless: he's 1,83m. Which is the exact height I'd like a man to be 
I hadn't bothered to look up his height, now I did, and it makes him even more appealing now, haha. So thank you! |

I happened upon the Mantracker series on YouTube a few days ago. I had never heard of it, decided to watch, and dang, I love it!
Just the whole thing is great, the thrill of it all, the skill of some people, the stupidity of others. Some totally surprise you by how good they are. And the fact that the mantracker is incredibly attractive certainly makes it even more enjoyable to watch

Feeling relieved, hihi ---> Meggie is back!
Yeehaaa! She's fed as well, including from the bowls of the other 2 cats. Greedy kitty-cat! |

Mildly concerned... I went for a walk and my li'l Meggie was curious. I was afraid she'd follow me and I kept checking all the time, looking back.
Didn't see anything, but now she's not coming home for her meal, which is highly unusual for her. |
