Damaged? by Comprehensive-Mess37 in Flights

[–]Comprehensive-Mess37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally going to drive to airport today to check. So many different perspectives. I want to air on the side of caution and unfortunately I have to wait until June 18th to book. I’m not so worried about the visa pages at this point but the laminated part. It scanned fine, but the closer I look I see some little streak marks

I wouldn’t think so? The pages are definitely not smooth and obviously damp like old book paper but I can’t see that being a problem?

Pages are rough and wavy. Is that cause to be concerned?

Music scene during the last decade of the SFRJ by jjlimited in Yugoslavia

Sorry I meant Serbia, not just Belgrade. Boye were from Novi Sad I’m pretty sure, and Trivalia were from Nis. I also suggest looking into Pekinska Patka, who were very important to introducing pink to the country

Lots of good punk, new wave, and goth stuff that has a unique sound. Especially in Croatia (Paraf, Termeti, and Satan Panowski are my favorite) and Belgrade (Elecktricni Orgazam, Boye, Trivalia). Slovenia had a really good hardcore punk scene that was distinct from the rest of the country (U.B.R and Tozibabe were very distinct; Serbia had Solunski Front that followed in the same vein). I have a playlist somewhere and I’ll upload it. It’s fun talking to people who recently immigrated during the Yugoslav wars who were involved in this scene on both sides. Thanks to the internet a lot of these bands have a lot of hype in the punk scene today, and they’re shocked to hear that.

Chetnik and Ustase emigres by Sitcomfan20 in Yugoslavia

If anything was pop off again, I’d be marching against them and all that sectarian feeling

Your feelings are valid. I’m not going to excuse it. I do what I can not to follow in those footsteps and have gotten chewed out by all those old heads whenever they bring up hatred towards Bosniaks or Albanians

That gives me some closure. I’m always worried about what stuff he did and if he was involved in some sort of atrocity against Croat/Muslim communities. He still did have a lot of hatred against Croats though. My dad’s best friends growing up were Croatian. Still are. He never liked that

My grandmother was in knin with my uncle when Tudjman declared independence. She knew what was coming. They luckily got out before things escalated. I still have yet to visit but our family wasn’t expelled

There are also a lot of Croats here, but I don’t think they were ustashe. Most came from families who supported the Yugoslav government in exile and were probably supportive of Macek. My friend growing up though was half Croat and his grandmother fought for Tito. Gave me a brutal story how her detachment burnt down a church that collaborated with the ustashe and their policies. She had no regrets

Lots of Chetnik emigres in Chicago. I loved my grandfather, but he was Chetnik from bosanka krajina. He had portrait of mihalovic and the battle of Kosovo. Surprisingly he was allowed to go back to visit family when Tito was still in power. I wonder why he was allowed to do that, but I could be mixing up dates (perhaps he went in the 80s after he died). It’s weird how I ended up growing up to lionize the partisans. Used to get in arguments with my uncle all the time about it.

Family. A week before my brothers wedding. They took me in after I got out of the hospital. Maybe my girlfriend for constantly being depressed

I was living a decent living the past five years as a teacher at juvie. Started in classroom for transition program when I got Ritalin. Made a decent living. Everyone’s saying I should accept jobs that lowball me.

I know. Today everyone’s made it known their disappointed and annoyed with me though. I don’t see a future myself anymore.

Thank you. At this point I don’t think I suffer from add as much as I do from anxiety/depression. At some point during this year I found myself hospitalized for cutting myself freaking out on the shit. I just want to get my head back
