All in all, you made a silly mistake

All in all, you made a silly assertion.

They weren't in any sense nobility.

At best, a traditionally privileged caste who degenerated quickly.

But some part of it

Or none. Despite the tax free thing

Why do it a harder way?

But you can`t know all stall sellers

A thousand vans is a good enough sample.

Open air markets

They just get it from the wholesalers like any shop.

I know people who have street stalls selling fruit and veg. Everything from tomatoes to potatoes comes from the wholesalers.

I've been at the wholesalers at 5am watching them buying it. From big sacks that say 'Produce of the Netherlands' on.

much more popular in Poland than in Britain.

Or less popular.

Pretty well every town in the north, small or large, has an open air and a covered market, some of them huge, many open for 800 years. The difference there is that the produce really does come from local farms.

Like child p0rn

I'd guess it'll be prosecuted in the same way. There are already 'virtual' images of child abuse and these are certainly illegal.

Some countries' precise laws may need a little tweaking however that is normal.

You can`t turn the tide back

Remember, AI is only a step towards something that will follow it.

are considered

By some.

They were mostly just fairly ordinary people. Very few of them were nobility or anything like it.

Something that should be replaced? Whatever for?

Cheapness for the provider, increased profit margin.

CDs had a massive margin compared to vinyl.

Downloading music and those appalling talent shows have only made things worse however the companies that push them make a higher margin.

There's nothing good about it.

That's just... f*cking sad

Very

imagine an AI celebrity singer concert the ticket for which will cost you 50 PLN instead of 500 PLN.

And the next thing is a hologram of the AI in your home.

Yuk

Love / Polish guy canceled 3rd date on me, is he uninterested or am I reading too much into it [43]

resorts to online dating

Some people do like it. And remember, we're relatively old. People under 25 or even 30 nowadays think that the internet is real life rather than a newspaper small ad that blinks.

sth in your handbag, btw, just in case

And always tell someone where she's gone and with whom. That or leave a note.

Law / Weed laws in Poland [25]

wax paper liner and the outer paper of the bag is a real lightweight paper

That's a bit like parts of Africa except there they roll a cone of paper first and then tip the herb in through the wide end of the cone.

Save yourself time from building another one later.

I'd probably have docked it already and had it put aside early on.

It's amazing how much gets wasted sometimes. You see people chucking away dimps with a one sheeter's worth in.

Indeed.

To get back to the lady who made the first post, it's just the same online or off with some guys. They'll promise anything but just want a notch on their bedpost.

If she's doing online dating she needs to remember to treat it like TV ads in that 90% of the ones she sees are either lying or aimed at someone else, 9% sound better but are timewasting and within that remaining 1% there's a product that suits.

And she should remember that as a woman, she can call the shots.

tasteless tomatoes

There are some very very nice ones there, for those who like those things. Perhaps all these 'comments' are from people who buy at supermarkets which have rubbish tomatoes in Poland as well.

That or people originally from villages who have a genetic need to touch soil and probably grow their own.

socialist terms

Middle class isn't a socialist term. Bourgeois is, so I'll use bourgeois.

considered themselves

And each Kaczynski considered himself a great leader.

history books

Yes, the most distinguished Polish historian, Norman Davies, points out the inconsistency with numbers and terminology.

Jamaica

That's nearly an ounce in one joint.

Way too much, even if it's low quality.

nobles

Not many of those. 1% of the population. You're maybe confusing them with the middle class (szlachta), around 15% of the population.

No reason they shouldn't pour water or any other non-toxic substance. After all, in Czech they got the young ladies with sticks on Easter Monday.

I wonder if CBD is any different there

It's freely available in shops in Poland.

Cats are selfish stubborn and smelly creatures
