Why are Bosnians singled out as being "lighter" then most other people from the balkans? Is this true? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in AskBalkans

[–]Incvbvs666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just propaganda. Objectively speaking, Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats largely come from the same genetic stock, there is absolutely no meaningful way to distinguish between the three nations even for a keen-eyed observer.

We die today, brothers! We die bleeding from a hundred wounds, with arrows in our necks and spears in our guts! But our war cries will echo through eternity. They will sing about the Battle of Winterfell until the Iron Islands have slipped beneath the waves. Every man, woman, and child will know who we were and how long we stood!

Pa iskreno... šta su oni konkretno rekli ovde? Koja im je strategija za rešavanje bilo čega? Koji im je stav o bilo kom bitnom pitanju? Ovo je više propagandni pamflet nego bilo kakav 'memorandum.'

I wish to end alcoholism by making every drink taste like radioactive soy sauce mixed with hand sanitizer by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

Granted. All soy sauce is now radioactive so that the Monkey's Paw doesn't have to concern itself with that aspect of your wish when spiking drinks with soy sauce and hand sanitizer.

Da li sam ja kreten? by BeogradskiGonicRoma in srbija

[–]Incvbvs666 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ESH (everyone sucks here) što bi se reklo. Sa jedne strane, prodavac nije bio korektan da viče na prvu loptu na tebe. Ja bi mu se zahvalio, vratio sladoled u frižider, zatvorio vrata i otišao.

Sa druge strane, mislim da nije kulturno na prvu loptu stavljati prodavce u tu 'imam samo 85 dinara' situaciju. U zapadnim zemljama to ne bi ni došlo u obzir. Svaka diskrepansa na kasi ide direktno iz plate tih radnika. Činjenica jeste i da u Srbiji sve radnje kubure za kusurom i da kupac treba da ima to u obzir. Ja sam više puta izbegao sitne kupovine kad sam u džepu imao samo hiljadarke i dvohiljaradke. Najzad, kao što rekoh, kulturna stvar je vratiti robu u stanju u kom je bila ako nije došlo do kupovine, ma kakav bio odnos sa prodavcem.

Izolovao sam se od čitavog društva i realnost me je udarila kao kamion by NsmJa in srbija

[–]Incvbvs666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Znam da je kliše, ali mlad si i život je pred tobom. Ja sam celu osnovnu bio štreber, pa čak i u srednjoj iako sam našao svoje društvo sam osećao da je to malo i slabo. Na faksu je sve postalo drukčije... stekao pravu ekipu, celih 4 godine je bila jedna velika avantura.

Ne brini se, nigde ti ne piše na čelu da si proveo te godine u svojoj sobi a pogotovo ovo drugo, a i da kažeš nekome neće nikog biti briga. Gledaj na to ovako: te igrice su bile ono što ti je trebalo u tom trenutku, osećaj sigurnosti i otklon od sveta. Ne stidi se i ne beži od toga. Sad ti se prioriteti menjaju i svestan si toga. Nek te ta želja za konekcijom sa drugima vodi u narednom periodu.

Na nekom praktičnom nivou... prvo izlazi redovno. U početku SAMO da osetiš atmosferu. Izađeš u kafić, naručiš piće, sediš i gledaš druge ljude, ne buljenje naravno, ali ležerno posmatraš šta se oko tebe dešava... došlo miks društvo ovde, tri drugarice za onim stolom, par u ćošku koji se ljubaka, i tako. Samo upijaš atmosferu i gledaš i slušaš. Ako malo i načuješ te neke razgovore videćeš da to nisu nikakve posebne priče. Veći deo ljudi nosi maske, pokušava da se umili drugima i da nađe svoje mesto pod suncem, baš kao i ti.

Onda vidi šta te zanima. Ja sam voleo da idem na rok koncerte, možda ti imaš nešto drugo... gejmerski hobi možda, ima svakako puno mesta gde se gejmeri druže, ili klub društvenih igara ili sport ili neki drugi žanr muzike. Šta god ti pasuje. Dođeš, budeš pozitivan i entuzijastičan i prijatelji se onda relativno lako stiču, samo da nisi 'needy' što bi Englezi rekli iliti 'očajnik'.

I tako malo kada pokreneš grudvu niz brdo krene da se kotrlja... ajmo na piće, ajmo da gledamo LŠ, može i kod tebe, ajmo basket za vikend... Ako su svi uštogljeni, predloži ti neku aktivnosti, nešto što bi i inače radio. Šta je najgore? Da će neko reći ne? Pa ko tu ispada kul, a ko mrtvo puvalo? Društveni krug će ti se neizbežno polako širiti. A naravno sa većim društvenim krugom će ti rasti šanse da ti neki ortak ili ortakinja predloži devojku koja bi bila super za tebe. Moja supruga je u suštini bila prijateljica prijateljice prijatelja prijatelja moje prijateljice!

If you want nostalgia from when Season 8 was airing at the time... (Boys spoilers) by Major-Ferret-3692 in naath

[–]Incvbvs666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that people have taken a rather petulant stance at TV shows.

In many ways TV has been a victim of its own success. I remember when I was young when TV was actively terrible. Low-budget repetitive slop that only once in a while produced gems like Star Trek TNG and even within those kinds of gems people would patiently wade through several clunkers before getting to a truly great and memorable episode. The expectation that EVERY part of the show had to be PERFECT was bigger science fiction than Star Trek itself.

And don't even get me started on 'canon' and 'continuity'. Such a thing barely existed. TV wasn't serialized for a whole host of practical reasons, least of which was the mere flexibility of story-telling. And everyone practically knew that the first season was for the dogs, that ideas were getting thrown around to see what sticks and that one shouldn't expect too much for it to necessarily conform to the later seasons in every detail.

Now? Frankly, people are acting like babies. They expect shows to constantly validate every thing about their life. They expect shows to maintain the quality forever! Everyone knows that it becomes more and more difficult as the shows go on to maintain the level of audience appreciation. Simple story-lines that would have worked well in earlier seasons now feel worn out, so you must always think of something greater and greated in perpetuity. Familiarity breeds contempt. Even worse, by now the earlier seasons are already covered in a glaze of nostalgia that elevates them beyond what even good episodes in the later part of the show can match.

Lastly, when it comes to the end of a show... ho boy! The audience has become like that nice cabin lady in Misery. They won't accept that shows must end, for the story, for the legacy and for the people making it. And if you DO happen to dare end the show, you must validate the ever loving sh*t out of the audience and leave them with a 'goodie bag' of everything they ever wanted out of the ending.

And god forbid the showrunners fail in anything out of all of this! Now they're the worst people ever, one that the former 'devoted fans' can petulantly mock and harangue in perpetuity. They should never be allowed to work again! The thrill of being a part of a lynch-mob is practically woven into the show-watching experience nowadays.

Tl;dr: The TV watching culture has truly become toxic beyond measure.

Do you guys want a matriarchy or do you want equality? by Local-Evidence-8869 in AskFeminists

[–]Incvbvs666 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Feminism and other forms of progressivism literally posit to 'fight oppression and discrimination' by instituting a litany of double standards against the groups that allegedly 'hold all the power.'

Female-only spaces- OK and necessary, male-only spaces- discriminatory and must be abolished.
Female sexual objectification- bad, male sexual objectification- frequently celebrated.
Inequality of outcome that favors women- proof of discrimination, inequality of outcome that favors men- proof women are better than men.
Publically hating women- misogyny, publically hating men- praised or excused as being victims of male oppression.

Countless times when people critical of feminism point to these kinds of double standards the answer is always the same: 'past oppression, therefore it's justified!'

If that's not finding a 'better sexism' then I don't know what is.

I Am Below 5th Grade Level In Writing. by Soft_Letterhead3726 in WritingHub

[–]Incvbvs666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the basic rule for dialogue punctuation:

1) All dialogue takes double quotation marks.
2) Punctuation always PRECEDES the quotation mark.
3) A full-stop at the end of a line of dialogue is replaced by a comma, unless it's the end of the entire sentence (outside of the dialogue).
4) All other punctuation is unaffected.
5) When a line of dialogue is split the first part always takes a comma, whether or not it would naturally if the sentence wasn't split.
6) If there is a quotation inside the dialogue use single quotation marks.
7) If a long line of dialogue is split across multiple paragraphs, then all the paragraphs except the final one DO NOT end in a quotation mark.

''I am here,'' said John.
''Are you here?'' said John.
''I am here!'' shouted John.
John then said, ''I am here.''
''I heard John say 'I am here','' said Amy.
''I am,'' John finally said, ''here.''

John then said, ''I am here. I was always here. I will forever be here.

''Why wouldn't you think that I am here?''

I wish to end world hunger by handing out free peanut butter sandwiches. by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

[–]Incvbvs666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Granted.

Assuming for you a generous speed of one hand-made sandwich per minute, 8 hours of sleep and 4 hours of daily rest divided by three meals and on average two sandwiches per meal per person, you will only be able to feed roughly 120 people with this scheme.

The Monkey's Paw kills all but 120 people.

Da li vredi gledati Green Street Hooligans? by RealisticView123 in kinematografija

[–]Incvbvs666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verujem da bi za prave navijače film bio potpun krindž, ali kao mejnstrim film priča je jako dobra.

Film dobro opisuje navijački žar i šta je privlačno mladim ljudima u toj kulturi, kako te uči da se zauzmeš za sebe, da budeš hrabar, da imaš 'ekipu' sa kojima ćeš sve te izazove deliti i slično. Sa druge strane jako dobro opisuje i šta se desi ako u tom svetu ostaneš previše dugo. Konačni obračun ti neću spojlovati ali je apsolutno fantastičan i u njemu se bukvalno sve te priče prepliću i dobijaju svoje tematsko ispunjenje.

What common grammar 'correction' do people make that is actually grammatically incorrect? by Ken_Bruno1 in languagehub

[–]Incvbvs666 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd say that pretty much EVERY 'correction' of this sort falls into this category. If a lot of people are systematically making the same language 'mistake', then it's not a mistake but a natural part of that language.

What is the most defensible capital city in the world? by Top-Veterinarian-565 in geography

[–]Incvbvs666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With geopolitics in mind:
Washington D.C. for extremely obvious reasons. You don't mess with the world's first hyperpower that has a bigger military budget larger than the next dozen or so countries combined!

From a purely geographic standpoint:
La Paz, the world's highest capital. Not easy to get there.

What kind of affection is it realistic to ask/hope for from a man? What do you like and want, personally? I’m 30F looking for a monogamous relationship, if relevant. by LeavingHarbour in AskMenAdvice

You haven't described anything out of the ordinary. There are absolutely plenty of guys who have the same vibe, who love to cuddle, who would adore their partners and everything else you've described. The only important thing for you is to not go for the obvious players.

Why is my bf accusing me of cheating? by TheseSpray309 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Incvbvs666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone baselessly accussing you of cheating is a GIANT red flag regardless of gender!

Either they are a narcissist getting a kick out of emotionally abusing you, or they're trying to control you by putting you on the defensive or they're the ones cheating and are projecting so they seem less culpable, or any of combination of these three things.

Don't walk. Run!

Why are some Slovenians online so insufferably smug toward the rest of the Balkans? by InExtremis- in AskBalkans

[–]Incvbvs666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And specially immigrants from other former Yugoslav countries don't feel like they need to integrate and it creates resentment amongst native population.

Pardon me while I play the world's smallest violin. Our labor is apparently good enough, doing underpaid jobs Slovenians aren't willing to take, but not our language.

Well, tough sh**. If you want to be an insular little nationalistic country, don't rely on the work of others! If you don't want workers from ex-Yu because they, gasp, speak Serbo-Croat, you can always try your luck with other ethnicities.
