Did I hurt your feelings? Sorry but not sorry.
Ukrainians have every right to defend their country against Russia's aggression.

We know it would me more convenient if they just gave up and you could claim how they wanted it all along but though sh*t

I didn't. They were just so...normal :) But I'm wiser now

That for sure.

As to the 1670- I love how pretty it is. Being raised Polish I never realised how truly pretty the outfits etc were

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

I must say that if PF was representative of the whole population the birthrate would probably on something like 0.01.

Quite possibbly she doesn't live with them anymore even. And she is not responsible for that.

Even the good father's I see around usually don't bother themselves with stuff like the kids friends (at the age when parents have to arrange playdates etc) kids medication dosages and restocking, school events etc

You two judging by your own words.


Lottery offspring? And why should they have a problem finding a job?


We are not bothered because we don't aim to be breeders.

Go ahead then. If it's so nice and cozy why man don't want to do it?

I worked manual jobs. So what?

Do you meant them stomping their feet won't work?

Good luck with that then. Tell us how that approach works for you.

But it would have worked as a child's help as well

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]


Because those same government are telling us there is not enough births.


Well, they implemented it as a boosting birth rate programme so ..

Love / Smitten and Wondering [81]


I would assume there is a problem with your logic then.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]


And that is good but in that case it should have been run differently.


Better childcare arrangements, better housing situation, better employee/employer relationship

The government wanted to solve one problem (birth rate) and created that programm (that you calling in a plumber and him starting to fix your leak). It didn't work but helped some kids in poverty ( that is the plumber helping the shower pressure) but spend more than needed by giving it to anyone ( that's the charging twice but).

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

Ok, next time you need a plumber to fix you leak and instead he improves your shower pressure while charging you twice what it would cost you to do that be happy.

In that respect yes but then it should be introduced as such and selective.

And the alternative is to keep lying to your partner and hoping to be able to cheat on her. Great perspective!


Then please educate us and show us those studies

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]


Really? Anything to back it up?


And what does that change? If anything it gives better picture of the programme's impact on birth rates

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]


True but didn't boost birth rates as it was advertised to do.


Who told you I begrudge it? Projecting much?

Everyone knows it didn't.

I would say that West still wins in terms of wages (especially for the low level jobs), social security (but usually lower family, friends support). Where they still win 100% in my experience is employee/ employer relationships.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


My family has one flaw- while hardworking we are completely unmaterialistic and useless at business.
My mom was a well respected specialist recognised in the whole town and in some neighbouring. One of the first to use computer and software. My uncle even offered to buy her equipment necessary to open a business on her own. She said no.

My brother- masters degree and incredible talent at lecturing/speech and writing, just wrote some pieces for his field periodicals but never tried to actually make a living.

Me- knowing what a success private nurseries/kindergartens will be but never actually looking properly into opening one (well, probably wouldn't manage to get the capital anyway)

I would eat it but I can't say I like pork chops or cakes with cream.

I wouldn't say so. I would say in a way they were the winners. Still old enough to enjoy childhood of social interactions rather than social media but young enought that they escaped the drinking, auto destructive etc behaviours.


Even that simple change ' you can't drink at work anymore' left many behind. My mom said how suddenly with changing administration structures and switching between offices it was made clear - try the old sh*t and you are out.

Even if we assume that is right (which I think guys usually grossly overestimate to give themselves an excuse) that guy is not in a relationship with himself and it's not about if it will affect him but what it does to his relationship and to the women once she finds out.

Then he should decide whether he wants to stick around or not and act accordingly and not trying to fool around


This has nothing to do with love. He likes how she looks and that hug gave him a notion he actually has a chance and here we are.


Not necessarily. I don't think he would be mature enough to safe his marriage though.


I think you should evaluate your life/marriage outside of the recent lust and see how you feel about it. If you think your marriage is generally a happy one and you love your life forget the girl, work on your marriage and hope for the best.

If you feel the marriage is over no matter what happens with the girl talk to your wife now,

Great. So as long as there is still cross and kaplica you can stop moaning about Hanuka. It's 2 to 1.
