In that case, accept my apologies.

We read The Bridge on the Drina back in high school as required reading.

Jacob Morgan said:There are some great stretches in there, sure, but I have to admit it gets a bit tedious at times—especially when it starts leaning into those grand universal claims. They aren't necessarily wrong, but maybe the delivery just didn't sit right with me. I suppose it might be because I went in with such high expectations, especially since I've heard nothing but praise for it from people whose taste in literature I actually respect.

With Hemingway, it was almost the exact opposite; I practically had to force myself to pick up his work, and then, once I did, I was just completely floored.

Anyway, I'll give Sapiens a look soon enough, now that the local libraries are finally opening back up.

Ryan Vaughn7 said:Small tangent here, but every day driving through downtown feels like a total dream. It’s pure fantasy. You’re cruising along Fifth Avenue, Vlaška, or Jurišić, maybe even cutting against the grain on Gaj or Masaryk, and you don't even have to wait for a green light because the streets are empty. It's beautiful. This is one of those rare moments—now or never.

Paul Martinez73 said:For fuck's sake, they already posted this a few times. The inspector was actually out on the field during that open mission and stated that everyone was keeping their distance...
Do you guys at least bother to read the news before commenting on it?...

And here we go... get ready for the inevitable debate over some random image where everyone argues about whether there was a space or not. Three, two, one...

brightpilot6 said:Charles Roberts33 writes exactly how darkseal9 would want him to. Of course, that assumes he actually possessed the courage to shape his thoughts into something coherent and finally stand behind them, rather than choosing this cowardly route of hiding behind a veil of sheer ignorance. ☕

Charles Roberts33 said:The barbaric break-in at Saint Leopold Mandić's cathedral yesterday shouldn't be viewed as anything other than the long-awaited fulfillment of the Šugosloven ambition: using brute force to disrupt a liturgical service—something they failed to achieve even during the darkest days of the communist era. With stricter bans on public gatherings now in place, they’ve essentially handed themselves the perfect alibi to finally force their will upon reality.

There is a deep-seated malice within that group. Truly, it's immense; don't underestimate them. They will seize any opportunity to spit on our sacred sites. Today, Father Joseph stood his ground and shouted "no pasaran" to those radicals.

Don't kid yourselves thinking today's events were driven by journalistic zeal or concerns over public health. It wasn't. It was pure malice, with
serving as the sole motivation 😉

brightpilot6 said:So, I already said it—you report it, and if you see that the authorities aren't doing anything about it, you start taking pictures. In that case, you go (i) through media pressure. It’s basically the standard operating procedure when you're dealing with a broken system like ours.
