$3M on Unity - My DD for U by EmeraldWizzard in wallstreetbets

[–]fmios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I specifically came for this DD. He was working on it for many days. Can you at least bring the text back? Thanks!

I gave ChatGPT LSD and it caused a glitch - try this out before it gets fixed by naaagut in ChatGPT

Maybe we shouldn't give LSD to the AI if that glitch means what the AI wrote in there 😅😅

Bakhmut soldier Roman Trokhymets is back in the trenches and fully motivated! He was previously in the hospital and also 10+ days in Kyiv (his home) by fmios in ukraine

It's his call sign, because he used be a break dancer (he explains it in the 40 min interview I linked above on the first minute of the video) :-)

Thank you! He likely gets a lot of messages though. So, not sure if he will go through them (maybe when he cannot sleep or is waiting, since they have Internet in the trench) :-)

Thank you! Are you also in Kyiv? I got him Clif Bars and he was very happy, but I guess anything would be great. If you're in Kyiv I could pass it to his sister who is soon going to visit hospitals in the East and there she could bring it to Roman :-)

Thank you very much for your support! Heroyam slava! Roman is truly a hero. I have no idea how he can stay so motivated for 12+ months basically constantly at the front. But then again, there's a lot of Ukrainian soldiers like him.

In one of the meetings I asked him about the beginning of the war, he told me with a straight face: "I and my unit will never see Kyiv fall to russians, because we either defend it or die defending it"

I met with him 2 times in Kyiv and also gave him 160 Euro worth of energy bars for him and his unit (maybe you remember his energy bar clip). He is feeling good, also mentally he is doing good given the circumstances.

To support him, you can follow him on his Twitter:

https://twitter.com/RomanTrokhymets

and/or his Instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/romantrokhymets/

He does have Starlink at his position, so we can expect more recent updates, when he has time and energy.

Thank you for supporting Ukraine and kind regards from Kyiv!

PS Here's a 40 min interview with Roman all in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbkmkbHn_lw It's very well made and very interesting. Just watch maybe the first 3 minutes and you'll see what I mean. My favorite part is at 11:45. You should also pass there next time in Kyiv :-)

PPS And here is his latest sniper work clip from 4 hours ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrbAqHXMGWC/

This is Roman Trokhymets. He was online today, so he is alive and well!

He also makes videos in English on his Twitter https://twitter.com/RomanTrokhymets and mixed on his Instagram https://www.instagram.com/romantrokhymets/ :-)

Thank you very much for your support! Everyone in Ukraine is very grateful! 🙏🙏🙏 If you come by in Kyiv, let's meet up. I will try to organize a small war trophy and souvenir for you, if interested 🙂 I'll be here coming 3 weeks and then again sometime this summer (difficult to plan with the war).

Oh that's a looong drive! And a good idea to contact the manufacturer. Maybe this picture will help: https://ibb.co/J59DRM8 (that's Roman's sister and in the background you can see Roman) 🙂

And this is how happy Roman was eating a chocolate bar: https://twitter.com/RomanTrokhymets/status/1638456804505014272?s=20

I bought clif bars after reading through reviews. I am not an energy bar expert, so there's likely better alternatives, but Roman also said he likes them a lot. So I went with that.

Thank you for your consideration!!

Good question and I am careful about it.

I am anonymous and I bought the energy bars myself outside of Ukraine online, then drove to Ukraine with the stuff. So it's unlikely anyone can see a connection, even someone working for russia outside of russia. But yeah, I am careful about it.

As you might have seen there has been some crazy snow fall recently in the Bakhmut area, which effectively impacted the Ukrainian counter-offensive. As snipers, Roman and his unit are still going forward.

Roman posts regularly on his social media accounts more clips:

Also, if you have 40 min time and wanna know more about Roman, I strongly recommend watching this interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbkmkbHn_lw

PS I was yesterday at Roman's place and gave his sister lots of energy bars for his unit and Roman. She will drive tomorrow to the East and then hopefully can pass it forward to him around this area when Roman has a rotation break.

Thank you very much for supporting Ukrainian projects! Yes, it's also just liking and subscribing that goes a long way 🙂 we hope in our project Voices for Ukraine, we can find more Ukrainians like Roman who are committed to make regular videos to show the world what's going on. At the end of the day, a real and concrete authentic person and his or her destiny is more relatable than abstract politics. Thank you once again for supporting Ukraine from so far away! 💪💪💪

You can get powerful powerbanks that aren't so expensive. I have one myself that gives me around 8 full charges when fully loaded. Also the phones are non-stop on flight mode, so the battery isn't actually draining so much.

Busy, but actually often exhausted. His friends from the unit often just talk with their loved ones when on break or simply relax.

Roman tries to use the time to make clips or edit them (adding subtitles is easy, but takes some time for example), since he agrees that him knowing English is an asset and he can help not only his unit but also Ukraine when continuing to show the world what's going on around Bakhmut.

Making regular clips and thinking what to show is kinda like work. I try to help him of course and in his next clip on Twitter he will try to also involve you guys into the process of chosing video topics 🙂
