One of the more beautiful places in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is little known, is the Istup waterfall near Stolac. After arriving in Stolac, continue driving towards the village of Barane. The road is paved but quite narrow. From the village to the waterfall, there is a dirt road, which is not suitable for lower vehicles. You can park your car in the village and walk to the waterfall (about 1...
I’ve written a very lengthy post six and a half years ago about my journey from Android to iPhone (here). After seven years, I found myself making the familiar journey back to iPhone from Android. In December last year, I took the plunge and invested in an iPhone 15 Pro along with an Apple Watch 9, eager to explore the latest offerings from Apple. I’ve been using it for a few months now and I’m...
There are many forms of censorship. It’s most commonly mentioned when the government or media censors someone, or in the modern era, when a person gets “cancelled”. Also, censorship is synonymous with dictatorial regimes and totalitarianism, such as in China, Russia, North Korea, etc. However, the most common form of censorship, which sometimes goes unnoticed and comes in many...
Considering that I’ve spent my entire life avoiding public exposure, launching a podcast where I’ll be publicly exposed is a step that’s completely out of my comfort zone. As someone who only takes photos for personal document needs and has used the selfie camera solely for video calls, except to test it out, the idea of public exposure was always unimaginable to me. I decided...
In essence, almost every neoliberal society employs monetary fines as a method to direct citizens’ behavior towards adhering to laws. However, this system of penalties is often criticized for its inherent unfairness; it does not punish the rich and the poor equally. For instance, a fine of 100 KM (convertible marks) might be negligible for some, while for others it represents a significant...
Imagine a situation where an airplane, ready for flight with 350 passengers, is left without a pilot due to an emergency. In an unexpected turn of events, the passengers decide on an unusual approach: they will vote to choose a replacement pilot among themselves. Ten candidates volunteer for this peculiar duty: two athletes, an actress, a professional driver, two engineers, a doctor, a plumber...
In my hometown, there are three taverns and a “shop and a half.” You might wonder, how ‘and a half’? The other shop often doesn’t operate regularly, being closed more often than open. Every time I visit my hometown, I inevitably come across people spending time in the gardens of these three taverns. I am fascinated by the fact that some of them arrive in the morning...
What candidates with a quality portfolio most often highlight in elections is their level of education, work experience, achievements, and similar attributes. This is certainly commendable, and candidates who hold public offices should indeed be educated and capable. A person who does not understand economics, law, medicine, engineering, etc., cannot make correct decisions in these fields nor...
One of the fundamental challenges during the election process lies in the fact that candidates are primarily chosen based on their popularity, rather than their abilities or the correctness of their ideas. The main ambition of every candidate during an election is not to become the best person for a particular position but to win as many votes as possible. To achieve a high number of votes, a...
Often on the streets, in the news, and on the internet, I hear people use the term ‘democratic’ and democracy as something most positive, something unparalleled. ‘That’s not democratic’ – is used instead of that’s not good, that doesn’t suit me, I disagree with that. Democracy is taken as the pinnacle of social organization, as a kind of utopia...
