BTW @nike
I completely misread the whole "where I live" = Malaysia post, you were still in Croatia in my mind. I thought you were straw-manning, not speaking to your actual experience so I sincerely and genuinely apologize for being an *******.

I still say stay away from Malaysia though, and that's good advice for anyone. Several years ago a friend of mine was living there teaching English and he ended up murdered in a Malaysian prison after being arrested for suspected marijuana use. They found one joint in his house, about half a gram worth of weed. RIP Kurt.

Thanks for the apology, that's genuinely rare to see on the internet. And sorry to hear about your friend. SE Asia is mindbogglingly strict with drugs.

@OH, if you consider the war has been over for 25 years (although in the minds of many Croatians and Serbians is still going on) and I joined this forum 15 years ago, either I joined as a 10 year old (which granted, some of my early posts might lead you to believe), or I was very much alive and well during the war...(I was living on an island that was hardly touched by it, although my brother was on the front lines, which probably contributed to his alcoholism, but he's a homophobic prick so who cares anyway)

And Marie thought she was good at oversharing...

It must have been mind blowing too see a place change so quickly. That was one of the most shocking sudden deteriorations, if not THE most shocking - Sarajevo was so impressive when they hosted the Olympics and then the footage and the rubble and death. And rather this is racist or not at the time seeing white people suffer like that -African style - even from afar it felt as though something unthinkable had happened.

Different country, different war, but same general neighborhood.

And yeah, it's a little hard to grasp that that happened in Europe only 25 years ago.

Was Yugoslavia already dissolved - it seems like it was all a part of the same cluster****.

Curious question, I did a bit of googling just now (in my mind it was clearly dissolved by the time hostilities started), but actually, it was a little more complicated, some skirmishes started in Croatia since March 91' while the declaration of independence was made in June (which was then placed on a moratorium for 3 months), while a full blown war started after July 91'.

Similar to Bosnia, they declared independence from Yugoslavia in March 92' and the official hostilities started in April.

Same clusterfuck but are considered separate civil wars.

I’m so thrilled with today’s success! For years I’ve had two cheap record shelves which were collapsing, so I’ve been stalking sales listings for quality cube shelves for months. Today my efforts paid off and I scored a matching pair of the most-trusted units on the market - the Ikea Expedit/Kallax shelves locally for a fraction of their normal price.

They’re usually $238.98 for a pair of the shelves with shipping from Canada, but I scored both of these just-like-new for $50 apiece already assembled and just 5 miles from my door! They were an absolute perfect fit to replace the portion of my collection which occupied the former shelves.

Extra special thanks go out to a dear friend in town who offered his truck and his strength to haul them home in the pouring rain. I am SO GRATEFUL for his help! It was far more work than it looks like but at last the project is complete!

Here they are in action in my listening room!

this went on longer than was even funny anymore before I had to tell him it was none of his ****ing business

heh

I was downtown and there was some guy with a maga hat walking around trying to tell people to vote Trump and he came up to me and I thought he was going to talk politics but he just started rambling about the book of Revelation and the whore of Babylon. I couldn't really understand what he was getting at so I was just like "what's wrong with the whore of Babylon?" and he just looked at me scornfully and said "yeah and I bet you like Queen Elizabeth the 2nd too!" and walked off.

As a citizen of Her Majesty's state I am offended.
