Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

Or maybe God smiting members of Konfederacja?

lol

I grew up close to a huge airbase

Oh, that's cool! And probably loud too lol

With your interest in astronomy I was expecting something a bit.......cosmic maybe ;)

But it did look astronomical, didn't it! ;D

It can't be contrails from aircraft, can it?

Yes, they are! You've guessed again! :D

Anyone can guess what kind of airplanes those are and why are they flying in a group?

@Feniks, it's not a meteor shower or falling Starlink satellites, but something that isn't unusual to see that clearly in the day :)

@Feniks, yes, exactly! You solved the riddle :)

You couldn't see the damage, because in my first post the firefighters were blocking the view on the passenger side. There was a couple with a kid travelling in this car, but fortunately noone got hurt.

Most of the passenger side got damaged - this is only a fragment:

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

To be a heterosexual man and not be a Russophile is near impossible.

This isn't even remotely funny, Torq. I'm pretty sure most of the men who fought for our country's independence and those Polish officers in the ditches of Katyń were heterosexual and not Russophiles.

I shall explain later

Please don't lol Spare us this Russophilic bullsh1t. 🤦

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

Do you really think they will leave you alone?

Of course not. Torq is a Russophile and as such he isn't thinking clearly ;) It's a lot of wishful thinking on his part.

We would probably be Russian friendly, because why not?

Because of all kinds of reasons most sane Poles are aware of...

And right now that means Putin-friendly....with all that this entails.

Exactly.

What personal jabs? Jaysus...

I'm talking about this:

"When one has children the belligerence level tends to shift to 'neutral' rather quickly. You will see it yourself one day. ;)"

Impact?

Yes.

So what could it be? What happened?

only causes wheel damage and nothing to bodywork.

Hmm, are you sure about "nothing to bodywork"? Is the whole car well visible from every side? 😉

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

No, but nukes and strong army will.

Even more nukes and more armies will do even a better job and make us safer.

And then, being neutral will decrease the probability of war.

Neutrality won't decrease the probability of RuSSia invading Poland if it deems it "necessary" to do so for whatever reason. RuSSia will either take our lands or turn Poland into a satelite state, as before. It boils down to RuSSian nature this time - which didn't change, in case you haven't noticed.

When one has children the belligerence level tends to shift to 'neutral' rather quickly. You will see it yourself one day. ;)

I'm not talking about myself, so keep those personal jabs where they belong. I'm talking about Poland and Polish nature. Poland is no youngling, it's been around for quite a while and it had children long before you ;)

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

that neutrality seems a better idea

I will repeat this again - not with such neighbour like RuSSia. Neutrality won't save us from RuSSia.

Switzerland (...) Ireland and Austria

Those are small countries. Besides, if I'm to be honest, I don't think it's in Polish nature to be neutral lol ;)

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

Your thoughts?

That would all depend on the behaviour and credibility of the rest of NATO, imho. Also, we can't be 100% neutral while being a member of the EU - we have to look out at least to some extent for the well being and interests of other EU countries, because we're all in it together.

We share many values with the majority of the countries that are part of NATO and the EU. For me the most important one is democracy. I think that with the anti-democratic powers on the rise in the world it's better (or even crucial) for us to stick together. 🤔 W kupie siła - Poland is stronger in the EU and NATO and the EU and NATO is stronger with Poland.

Don't get me wrong - it would be nice to be completely neutral, I guess, but with such neighbour like RuSSia - I'm afraid that's impossible/dangerous.

Poland will never get consent to this, neither from the Americans nor from the russians.

If Americans will abandon us then they will have nothing to say on this matter. And RuSSia can stuff it - they didn't ask us for our consent when they were getting their nukes lol o_O

If there's no danger to life or fire, not usually.

Yes, it depends on the situation, I suppose.

He sunk into pot hole

Nope.

Wheel nuts worked loose and fell off or weren't tightened enough?

Nope.

or hit a concrete barrier

No, I think if a car hit a concrete barrier there would be some damage visible on the front of the car. 🤔 But you're getting closer...

It looks like he broke a tie rod and the wheel must have went rolling off in another direction. A scary situation for sure.

The situation was actually more scary than that. So what happened? What could be the other reason for a wheel to fall off?

They use the jack to lift the car so they can slide the dolly underneath. Then they can roll the car wherever they want.

Yes, but they used the second one, because the wheel on the other side got a flat tire:

but surely this wouldn't normally be their job?

Well, if the car is viewed as a danger (it's on the road and not in a ditch, for example) firefighters in Poland have to remove it, from what I understand. 🤔 It's not the case in the UK?

The car appears to be missing a wheel on the passenger side and there doesn't appear to be anyone in the vehicle.

Wow, yes, exactly - you're so observant! :D

The fire brigade are moving it off the road for some reason, breakdown? blocking traffic?

Yes, they're moving it off the road! :) It wasn't due to breakdown though, so what happened? Why the wheel would fall off?

Btw, for moving the car they used those thingies with wheels that I think are called car wheel dolly jack (?) in English. Can you guess why they would need two of those for one car?:

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [203]

I expect there will be a formal apology tomorrow

I doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if they demanded an apology from Sikorski for daring to open his mouth and not thanking often enough and not being grateful enough lol Thank God he's wearing a suit in his profile photo at least ;O 🤦

all Poland is a close ally, not woke, not a free loader.

Well, clearly that means sh1t to the current American administration.

an important ally like Poland

I think we can see now what an "important" ally Poland is for the US lol

I don`t recognise them. Gradually, they are turning against Ukraine and for Putin.

Apparently they do that to steal some votes from Konfederacja for presidential elections. I think they are also simply sucking up to Trump. Being in power is more important for them than Poland's security, moral values and basic human decency.

Life / Immigrants in Poland [26]

I know that there are threads about immigration to Poland, but they're more specific - I think the forum lacks one general thread about this topic.

I'm really happy that this guy got a political asylum in Poland - this is Viacheslav from RuSSia (I posted two videos of his before on this forum) - the letter with the decision moved him to tears :))) (he got over 3000 comments on that video):



One of the comments:

"Our country did the decent thing. ❤️❤️❤️Congratulations"

When I clear my history or use my CC Cleaner it always clears all my passwords and log in names.

@pawian, most of the time I'm using my phone when reading and writing on PF.

A login cookie automatically expires after a few months (meaning you would get "logged out") and then it requires to login again.

Thanks for the explanation, I don't think I've logged out in a very long time though (as far as I can remember)... I guess we'll see in a few months. 🤔

I log out but then find I'm still logged in when I come back to the site later.

Huh... o_O

It did happen to me few times in the past

Ah, OK... Thanks Lenka :) I was worried that maybe my account got hacked or something o_O

Nope....still in!

So it happened only to me today (or yesterday, I don't know)?

When I came today to PF it turned out that I'm logged out even though I didn't log out o_O' It's weird, because I don't think it ever happened to me on this forum...

Why did this happen?

Has anyone else experienced this?

USA, Canada / What I don't get about Americans vs Polish [56]

They realise they are immoral scum but react allergically when sb reminds them about it.

Yeah, narcissists flip out when their bullsh1t is being challenged.

He wants a minerals deal from Zelensky

From what I've read there are probably no minerals, there is no mineral deal and all of this is apparently bullsh1t... So I don't know what's going on anymore...

I don`t get it what sensitive pussies suffering from inferiority complexes those MAGA Golden Cow gangsters are

It's honestly hard for me to believe that they're really such oversensitive snowflakes... I think they're just giving it as a pretext to sh1t on Zelensky and d1tch him. Maybe they think that he will be replaced by someone who will just agree to whatever USA and RuSSia will demand... Or they're some kind of unstable narcissists o_O

Yes, he was looking for adventure when his marriage had fallen apart

I don't what he was looking for, but he definitely was very interested in knowing whether I'm single or not lol I've been torturing him with this Great Unknown ever since ;D

Paulina you are a better person and have a good heart, you are pretty and have a high IQ, possibly higher than mine.

Wow, that's some desperation lol Good effort though ;D

I'm only trying to make you think. That is all.

No, you're just being a nasty a-hole.

and like, eh?

Nope.

Oh, yeah? Have you ever seen a man going boo hoo?

You mean crying? Yes, one guy completely fell apart during a reality TV show "Siły Specjalne Polska" on Polsat.

How many ways do women dry "cry" while delivering endless and incoherent speeches?

I don't know, I don't think I ever witnessed anything like that. 🤔 Why, did you count? lol

the cops were ready to let the stupid bit*ch go but she decided that a little show was just what she needed...

That's also what happened with white American men in the videos I posted for you. With all that "What have I done?????" and "You can't do that!!!!" , etc. included lol

That's how stupid women are.

No, that's how stupid or unstable some people (both men and women) are.
