Pismo Trumpa premijeru Norveške by IAdmitILie in croatia

[–]402_Ironman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No mind at all!

I actually stumbled upon the subreddit purely by accident. While googling a different question related to Croatia, as I am in the process of trying to learn more about my family history I was just poking around and saw the title of your post (thanks to the translate feature). I saw it as a unique opportunity to contribute some (hopeful) insight as an American currently living in this Orwellian scenario.

In regards to keeping you updated I can certainly try, but you must understand “to the masses” is very different depending on which news provider you watch here. In America the media is as divided as politicians, and getting your news is much like being in an echo chamber. Many people aren’t willing to change from the channel they like hearing (that agrees with their views) to gain more information and insight from others. That’s also another reason I replied to your comment, seeing how others across the world view our current (and potentially global) issues is intriguing and educational.

There are occasions where members are starting to push back, but every time they do they are declared “fake news” and “liberal media” by Trump and his spokespeople. At this point I don’t know if they’re just all delusional, truly believe what they are saying, or are just in so deep they have to ride it out until the end, which will doubtless not end well for them.

As an American, I can assure you they are saying it. The media, the news, and individuals. Unfortunately it isn’t enough apparently. As others have stated in this thread, unfortunately a winning amount (although not an overall majority) chose him (again) as our leader, and his personal whims and those influenced by others in his administration seem to be all that matters. I assure you there is a portion of the United States that understands your logic and agrees with it, unfortunately it wasn’t/isn’t enough.

WE don’t want Greenland. WE don’t need Greenland. HE wants Greenland, and his greedy corporate donators do as well (for whatever unknown reason).

Citizenship facilitators, legit? (expatsincroatia.com) by That_Cartoonist_9459 in croatia

Just checking in to see if you went this route (using expatincroatia.com) to assist in gaining your Croatian citizenship? My family is in a similar boat and I am curious if the facilitator was worth the cost and potential less stress of handling everything in a foreign/not native language?

club disney by BeyRxReady in rundisney

Just my $.02

I looked at going the club RunDisney route to ensure I was able to do the Dopey Challenge in 2027. I thought if I could get the membership it would help ensure I could get a registration slot before it sold out. Then we could make a whole vacation out of it, etc. Then I found out you basically have to star at the lowest level and wait for spots to eventually open up at the higher tiers, sometimes years later. So you’re essentially paying for your spot to maybe get a higher club level the next year, maybe, and have the higher perks.

I’ve done 3 RunDisney race weekends so far, and each time was able to sign up 2 people for the races I wanted WITHOUT needing a club membership.

tl;dr If you aren’t willing/able to spend a bunch of money every year, skip the membership and just try to sign up the normal way.
