How many hectares per tank of kerosene does that baby get?
About 0.0002.
Yu go, car doesn’t!
Ah, the old merge and commit genocide.
Seen this before, we don’t need a sequel.
merge and commit
Are we talking fast-forward or squash merges?
Squash, definitely squash.
Who do we git blame ?
Let’s just blame the Nazis to avoid making anyone too upset.
Bonus points if the different branches are all large, have a decent amount of overlap, and rely on different revision dependencies. And pushed through with minimal review or oversight.
And then wonder why nothing works…
git push origin main --force
Yolo
Let’s rebase, for the fun of it…
But they don’t need SQL.
Rebase/squash merge for sure.
Definitely lost some history in there.
What does the CI/CD pipeline look like for this?
Genocide in Eastern Europe? Never! Never I tell you!
That was after Tito died. He never would have let something like that happen if he was still alive.

Hey, I never said he was a saint. Plus this was pre WWII, partisans were already being recruited and yes, they hated Germans… because Gremans hated Slavs. You know what the Nazi plan was? One, eliminate Jews, two, eliminate gypsies, three, elimites slavs. We were on the elimination list, no doubt there. Just because we weren’t immidiately exterminated doesn’t mean our turn wouldn’t have came after the Nazis were done with the previous two on the list. You know how many slavs died in labour camps, doing Nazi bidding? My guess is, Tito did this to try and scare the Nazis away from the Balkans… can’t say for certain, but I do know that he was the leader of a federation with over 6 different nations in it, he never once showed pereference or hate for one or another. Sure, things needed to be balanced, so sometimes one came first, others second, third, etc., but in general, he really did try and treat everyone as equal.

Anyone that busts Stalin’s balls that hard can be forgiven those rookie cleansing numbers. (/S)
Shit, Israel beat it by a factor of ten in just three months. (No /s)
Some people were very cross with him for turning his back on Stalin and centering with the US. But, regardless, he needed them to run the country… so, he decided not to change the name of the party to “socialist” to get on the good side of the Stallinists in Yugoslavia. This was planned, but it was never done. The name stayed KPJ (Communist Party of Yugoslavia).
My point is, sacraficies have to be made for the greater good. Sometimes that means doing horrible things to others. Is that justified? Depends how you look at things… if killing a few thousand people will save you from having an actual war with hundreds of thousands of casualties… the choice is tough, but it has to be done. Tito knew this and he wasn’t proud of what he did, but he knew it had to be done. Same goes for Goli Otok and other nationalists that were killed on his watch. Yes, it’s not pretty, but it has to he done… to keep the piece.
You have to understand, the Balkans haven’t seen piece in centuries, there was always turmoil here. And then shows up a guy that promises piece, equality and ruling of the people… and he actually did just that! Not just on paper, there was piece! Yes, I do agree that that comes at a price. Would I make the same choices if, let’s say, I was in charge and that could avoid the war in Bosnia? Yes, I most defintely would. I won’t be proud of it and will probably try to forget it ever happend (so I could keep on living… otherwise, I’d probably commit suicide), but yes, I’d do it.
Sorry, I meant after the end… got mixed up (it was late).
Dude, this wasn’t before WWII, this was after the end of the war. Around 175,000 people whose families had lived there for a couple hundred years and spoke German for historical reasons were ethnically cleansed from Yugoslavia.
Hm, wonder why someone who spoke German on a teritory occupied by the Germans during WWII would be cleansed from that place 🤔…
A few hundred thousand people had to flee the country and walk to Germany or otherwise make their way to places like North America.
People hated Germans after WWII. My guess is, he was just trying to keep a clean slate, not let history repeat itself. There was enough bloodshed on the Balkans, it’s time for piece… and people speaking German RIGHT AFTER WWII in a place you’re trying to make into a federation and let everyone live in piece… yeah, I kinda get his reasoning.
Sure Tito wasn’t Hitler, but he definitely walked in his footsteps.
You didn’t live here, you have no idea how things were. It was nice, people had piece… not just bought piece, it was the true meaning of the word, something that hasn’t happened in centuries here. Agreed, that has to come at a cost, but the US does it every day and they rarely get backlash for it.
Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. It’s that simple. This is true in any society. People that don’t agree with that society’s leaders and strategies can make problems for them. Why make their lives harder.
As an older Millennial, I keep thinking Yugoslavia still exists. And the US 9/11 attacks happened last year.
I recently watched ‘robot dreams’ good animation movie from 2023, setting is 90’s new york. It was so strage seeing the twin towers in the background during the entire movie. But then i realized the new generation has no first hand 9/11 experience and would probably dont even notice.
That just hit me in the olds. Kids today are grown ups that can drink in America and it was after 9/11
In my eyes, Jurassic Park from the 90s is still so realistic looking. A lot of these films today look like shit.
It’s because of the crappy colour grading they do to merge shot footage with cgi effects. Jurassic Park holds up because it’s from an era of cinema where they didn’t do that grungy Blue-grey shit.
Blue grey shit is early-mid 2000 for me. Some stuff from that era is hard to watch. The lower the budget the worse.
Im a bit blind about the colors they exaggerate today but I am sure they are doing something like that.
I’m reminded I had a classmate who was Yugoslavian.
At the time I had no idea what was going on in the world at the time.
Romaina, Slovenia, ohh I wanna take ya
To Serbia, Montenegro, baby why do we go
To Bosnia, Croatia, why do we just make it
Down to Kosovo, they’ll shoot you fast and you’ll bleed out slow, thats how I wanna go
Get shot in Kosovo!
I wonder how many lemmings understand this is a Beach Boys reference.
Do they still get a lot of radio play in the USA?
Do they still get a lot of radio play in the USA?
I think it’s safe to say that anyone in the USA who still listens to the radio knows the Beach Boys.
Radio?
Oh, you mean the app with the heart my mom uses?
No, those are my DMs.
Jesus christ this man had a family
And now he has a new dad!
I’ll get the salve.
“what app is that”
Is the radio a new ai app?
It’s a stupid app that you need special hardware to use.
It’s an audio-only ad platform where they fill unsold time with most of a song or just people talking.
Sounds horrible
That’s raidio for ya
Or if they have seen the move Cocktail
Some people just like old music :)
Yeah, but on the classics channel, and they’ll play nirvana right after, and make you feel old.
My music was too shitty to become an oldie so I guess I am safe.

All we hear is radio gaga

Croatia: “Haha, fuck no!”

Meanwhile I’m here thinking it would be nice if the whole world was made up of countries of that size with a global alliance that will fuck up any country that starts getting all imperialistic.
“the circled region needs more countries. please break up the big ones”
I hope the Russian federation is going to look like that in some time.
We’re the second largest country
On this planet Earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking
Then soon we’ll be first
(As long as we keep Quebec)We barely have an army
The economy is lousy
But all that doesn’t matter 'cause
Canada’s really big!Do it again but with grocery prices and housing!
To improve the geopolitical situation or to brag about Kazakhstan being the largest country in the region? You could change your name to BigBorat1!
Pretty sure Americans are gonna do that soon. Then we can convince MAGAland to pay to build a wall around itself
Seems like that would be hard to regulate things like pollution, since there isn’t really effective treaty enforcement. Unless we give someone like the UN binding authority on global things like that and enforcement ability.
Dear Mr. President,
There are too many Balkan countries. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.
That’s me writing to the US president.
I mean do we really NEED two Dakotas?
Do we even need one? I propose we give them back first
- OK, let’s see today’s mail… oh, this guy says he’s not a crackpot, huh… OK, maybe I should do what he says.
- Mr. President, you do remember what happened last time you listened to someone who sais he was not a crackpot 😒.
Pain.
I’m sure they had no idea what they were doing when they randomly circled the Balkans and presupposed that there was no problem with their proposal.
Yea, prime c/thatsthejoke material.
Serbia likes this
*only Serbia likes this
Austria too
Damn Serbs, they ruined Greater Serbia!
Bosnia less so
Macedonia likes it as well.
Sure! What could possibly go wrong?
To be honest, things went wrong because the person who knew how to keep the piece died, so… nationalists rose to power (they didn’t rebrand communism though, so most got onboard the loony train thinking this is about communism and who is against it), and that was about all that was needed in a powder keg like the Balkans… a lot of war time profiteering as well, some people got very rich during those days… blood money, sure, but it didn’t seem to bother them. Some of them are still in power, or their children.
Bottom line, none of them are communists, period. They’re thieves and killers.
Why is it, every time some regime claims to be communist, they are never really communist?
Because it sounds conceptually nice to good people, but selfish people know that without proper transparency and checks, it’s very easy to consolidate power with it.
So the bad people get the support of good people and then exploit that flaw to do what they want instead of what is good.
The reason why it worked perfectly here, in the Balkans, was that Tito never actually lied to the people (OK, that’s an understatement, lol 😂, but in general, he did have the people’s best interests in mind)… so, everyone just thought that their leaders are actually being honest with them and that the other guy is at fault 🤷… it was easy to be honest… it was only after they were tried it became apparent that the only thing their leaders had in mind was money and power, nothing more… but, by then, it was too late… lives were lost, people’s lives were shattered… it was really sad to be honest… when everyone realized that they fought a war for nothing…
It WAS as close to communism (actually socialism… though yes, the party was called a communist party and all that, but in reality, the name didn’t really reflect the ideals of the party at the time, the name stuck for the sake of the Stallinists that were in quite large numbers and Tito and others were just trying to balance things out, since they needed some of those people to run the country and not turn their backs on them… some people were very cross with Tito when he turned his back on Stalin in the 50s, he didn’t need to iritate them further by changing the name of the party) as you can possibly get at the time. No textbook representation of a social or economical system is 100% accurate to what the books say… just like democracy (which is basically anything but democracy at this point) is flawed everywhere.
The perfect system doesn’t exist, but you can strive to make it better and serve the people, which is exactly what we DON’T have nowadays. Back then… to be honest, yes, it mostly served the people.
still hurts after all these years
Anybody tell him, he should go slavia.
do it and rename it to superfunhappyland
Do not taunt Superhappyfunland!
If Superhappyfunland begins to smoke, move away and seek shelter immediately.
I am a bit bothered by how the modern borders of Croatia seem like they are designed just to prevent Bosnia and Hercegovina from having a coast. I get that you can have a thin country, but they are really pushing it. Give them one beach!
They have Neum
They have one beach! Let them have 2.
croatia was already funny shaped when it was in personal union with the kingdom of hungary. that’s the upper half of modern croatia. most of the lower thin bit was dalmatia, which was also historically inhabited by croats and unified with (a newly independent) croatia immediately after ww1.
so while yeah, it looks like the west meddled to deny serbia access to the sea, i dunno how true that is. the region really was mostly croats and some italians, i think…
i could much more easily believe that montenegro was the result of such meddling
