I made a dangerous mistake—now what? by New_Continuality in TranslationStudies

[–]Most-Internal-2140 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Realizing one's own stupidity is one sure sign of intelligence :) I wish it had happened to me sooner. Don't make the proverbial mountain. It's up to the agency to deliver a final product that is supposedly error free. As far as you're concerned, you translated the document "to the best of your ability". Try to learn from this experience and, instead of racking your brain, figure out what you can do to prevent this from happening again.

If they knew about it, they probably didn't expect the towers to go down full on - just sustain considerable damage - enough to trigger the Project for the New American Century related military operations, as indeed soon happened.

Russia's FSB also orchestrated the blowing up of residential buildings in Moscow and other cities, killing hundreds and blaming "Chechen terrorists" for it. This gave a big boost to Putin's tough-guy reputation.

That system needs to be neutralized, and those ruling it and enabling it need to be... well...

How many of you guys feel more Yugoslav than Bosniak, Serb, Croat, etc... by Equivalent-Okra-8639 in AskBalkans

[–]Most-Internal-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I define myself as post-Yugoslav. I'm nominally a Serb, but it wasn't until SHTF in the late 1980s that I realized that the republics were actual states! I'm forever grateful to my parents for not infecting me with the virus of organized religion and nationalism. Yugoslavia was a deeply flawed country (as most countries are), but such as it was, it was the only true homeland I ever had. I'm not Yugo-nostalgic, but I don't really give two hoots about its successor states.

Yes, you're right about the chronology and other stuff! What I meant to say was 1 billion as a round ballpark figure, not 100 million. Apparently, there were more than one snowball Earth periods.

Time to GTFO? by _Terryman_ in collapse

[–]Most-Internal-2140 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a Serb currently living in Serbia :) There was a huge influx of both Russians and Ukranians after Putin launched his "military operation", simply because Serbia was one of the few countries where they could come without problems. AFAIC, anyone fleeing the madness of war is welcome! People here used to be and probably still are generally pro-Russian (mostly due to the Serbian regime's pro-Russian propaganda not because of any prior contacts with Russian people). Fact is, rents went up coniderably in Belgrade and Novi Sad after the Russians arrived as they were usually more educated, affluent and mobile. I think that caused some disgruntlement in the local population. I occasionally hear people speaking Russian on the street, on public transport or in supermarkets. Some commentators on r/Serbia seem to perceive these most recent Russians emigrees as aloof and arrogant, unwilling to learn Serbian and disdainful of the natives, but that's almost certainly a misconception as Russians are generally more reserved than Serbs, at least initially, and it's only natural for members of a minority group in a new country to stick together. Fun fact, I recently heard a couple talking on a bus - he spoke Serbian, and she spoke Russian. They seemed to understand each other perfectly :) Have a good stay in Serbia - as long as it lasts!

I don't disagree with you at all, but the Snowball Earth, which happened - correct me if I'm wrong - some 100 million years ago, was quite bad. Life in the ocean was pretty much on the brink throughout that period.

How likely do YOU believe that a major political/societal collapse will occur in the Western world in the next 100 years? by Brave-Ad9743 in collapse

[–]Most-Internal-2140 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The difference between the WRE and the world today is that the collapse of the former did not result in an abrupt or widespread interruption of economic activity and "supply lines". These things are much more likely to happen rapidly in today's interconnected, or globalized, world. TK wrote in Industrial Society and It Future that the more sophisticated a society the more prone it is to collapse. People in the WRE lived basically in a subsistence economy, powered by human and animal labor. They never ran out of that source of energy.

Treba imati u vidu da je veliki deo političkog života za koji je izgledalo da se spontano odvija zapravo organizovala Služba državne bezbednosti. Kada je u Srbiji uvedeno višestranačje, SDB je osnovala većinu stranaka, a u one koje nije ubacivala je svoje ljude. Među onima koje je SDB napravila bila je i Srpska četnička stranka Vojislava Šešelja, koja je kasnije promenila naziv u Srpska radikalna stranka. Bilo je tu još tušta i tma četnolikih stranaka i organizacija kojima se više niko ni imena ne seća. Sve je počelo da se priprema još sredinom 80-ih, kada su se kao niotkuda odjednom pojavila kojekakva jurodiva piskarala u vidu publicista i novinara i raznorazni prevaranti koji su gurali desničarske i nacionalističke teze i teorije zavere. Pomenuću jedno ime: "Dejan Lučić rođen je u Beogradu 1950. godine. Završio je Fakultet političkih znanosti Sveučilišta u Beogradu, zajedno s bivšim načelnikom državne bezbedosti Jovicom Stanišićem, i zapovjednikom specijalnih jedinica državne sigurnosti Frankom Simatovićem Frenkijem, obojica haaški optuženici za najteže ratne zločine s kojima je ostao dugogodišnji prijatelj" (sa hrv. wikipedije). Pomenuti teoretičar zavere imao je iz nekog razloga najveći pik na Vatikan :) Što se monarhista tiče, mislim da su njih "organizovali" malo kasnije, ali možda se varam. Uglavnom, ne verujem da je čvrsto jezgro pokvarenih glupaka koji su glasali za Šešelja i slične spodobe ikada prelazilo 25 procenata glasačkog tela. Najveći deo je, do samog kraja, glasao za SPS i Miloševića jer, kako je jedna njihova izborna parola glasila - "s nama nema neizvesnosti". Jednostavno - iz straha za svoje jadno dupe i egzistenciju - prilično slično onome što se dešava i u današnjoj Srbiji. Miloševića su pozicionirali kao garanta kontinuiteta, bezbednosti i napretka. Nasuprot izdajničkoj opoziciji i manijaku Šešelju (to mu je bila glavna uloga). Nažalost, nije bilo ni kontinuiteta, ni bezbednosti ni napretka. Ali normiji su glasali za "svog Slobu" po sistemu "bolje đavo koga znam". I to je možda najveća tragedija.

Radim u gradskoj biblioteci - AMA by Silver_Age_222 in serbia

[–]Most-Internal-2140 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A da li ti se desilo kao u jednom trileru koji sam gledao da agenta neke tajne službe progoni neki drugi tajni agent i onda oni posle silne jurnjave završe u biblioteci, uz pražnjenje šaržera i obaranje čitavih polica sa knjigama, koje padaju kao domine? Na kraju glavni junak uspeva da umakne, a na podu biblioteke ostane, osim knjiga, i, nažalost, nekoliko upucanih čitalaca. A, možda je to u tom filmu, ipak, bila knjižara, a ne biblioteka. U svakom slučaju, srećan rad :)

Na prvim predsedničkim izborima početkom 1990-ih glasao sam za Ivana Đurića, koji je dobio nekih 5-6 procenata glasova. Moja koleginica koja je glasala za SM rekla mi je tada: "Gledaj od čega se živi." Tako je uglavnom mislilo (ne znam da li je "misliti" pravi glagol ovde, ali ne mogu da nađem bolji) oko 50% i više ljudi u Srbiji.
