Fair play, BB :) *high five*


It's only a couple of days and we already have 20% of the yearly donations gathered. Maybe it can work this way in the long run?

You don't know me. You have no idea who I am, and yet you see fit to write "men like you". Sometimes it's difficult to guess whether you are 80 (with all the grumpiness, moaning and complaining) or 14 (with all the pouting and immaturity).


You see? You think you know better than I do why I do things, what I think, and what my intentions are. :) Don't you see how ridiculous that is? As I said, you have this awful tendency to ascribe ill will and malice to people. If you do that not only online but also to people in the real life, then you must be a very difficult person to be around.

Even on this very forum I mentioned how sick and detrimental to society the "red pill" movement is.

Somehow you missed it, haven't you? You only notice (and create huge gównoburza) when I say something you don't like. Typical.


Indeed I could! I simply didn't think of this particular word. Perhaps you're a better poet than I am? :)

Not everything indeed.

However, thanks to feminazis (not to be confused with feminists), woke weirdos, and other neo-marxists, a lot of things in the modern world were successfully turned into a huge joke. A healthy reaction of any sane person is to make fun of this galactic nonsense.


That's precisely what I used it for.

As for the rest of frustrated, self-indignant, self-righteous vomit posted above - yaaaaaaawn.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


I did neither.

The only thing you can accuse me of is not mentioning in the original post (because I did it a couple of posts later) that the social media bit was from the comments section. Oh, and I used "feminist" for alliteration rather than a "woman" in the thread title. That's it; and it provoked the whole ungodly fury and the string of insults quoted in #15. Sad... really, quite sad. The frustration emanating from you is staggering.

But you know what, I'm wasting way too much time replying to you, as you are - as Johnny said - obviously trying to pick a fight over the most trifling of things. I have no time for this nonsense. If you wish to be a stiff, nitpicking wet blanket, constantly looking for an argument, then knock yourself out, but forgive me if I yawn.


Unfortunately, as Flannery O'Connor noticed a long time ago, a good man is hard to find. :)

*sighs*

Or maybe, just maybe, we are all a bit too serious about everything.

People are people, as a band that you don't remember - because you're too young - used to sing. People are people, Paulina. They will sometimes make a silly joke, they will say something inappropriate and they will, more often than not, behave differently than we would expect them to. Life.

What I find important is not to ascribe ill will or malice to them. People are very rarely malicious and to treat them as such, or even suspect them of being that, can make one's life a sad and frustrated one. So be happy, Paulina, and don't look for enemies or bad people where there are none.


How would you know what real men do or don't, British poodle? :)

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Paulina is said to be a man? Hmm... that would explain why my vast knowledge of women doesn't work in this case. Makes sense.

@the mod who changed the title of the thread

"Feminist Found in Forest" was deeply poetic, "A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest" is not even close. :(

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Women are like an open book to me. All in all rather simple creatures and easy to analyse. Complexity of women is a myth.

Anyways...



... please go away, cat lady. I do not wish to speak to you anymore.

*walks away with dignity, not wishing to fall below certain level*

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


"Mówią" and "mówi się" mean more or less the same - the doers of the action of speaking are in both cases people (who else?).

You are nitpicking to the point of absurdity.


Because I am a poet by nature, and "Woman Found in Forest" would be much less poetic. Alliteration is a very important device in English-language poetry, and if one wants to be anything in this cruel, heartless world, it is to be poetic.


You are, as usual, reading too much into everything.


I suspect you know very little of the very inner-core nature of men. But that's just my suspicion.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


I don't like women-haters. They annoy me with all the nonsense they talk.

Personally, I am a women-realist. The realism stems from my deep knowledge of the very inner-core nature of women.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


No, I didn't. We can continue like that :)

Here, look...

... "mówią, że nad blokiem krąży klątwa" - "they say that/it is said that the block of flat is cursed". Now, is it...


... and you believe in curses and ghosts? Or maybe - just maybe - you finally understand what "it is said" means?


A lot of things look like something they are actually not, as those who watch olympic games in Paris can attest. :D

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


I didn't. Nothing after "is said to" is confirmed information. In Polish it means "mówi się, że" and it obviously means gossip or rumors. If someone here says that I only eat strawberry jam, then you can write "Torq is said to eat only strawberry jam" and it's by no means confirmed information. :)

Anyways, you are again moaning and complaining. It bores me - go away. *yaaaaawn*

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


How do you know? Maybe it was someone who knows her? Have you seen her social media accounts? Do you know for sure she never posted anything like that?


No. I only repeat funny things, and the "man vs bear" stuff was funny. So there :)

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

Someone said it somewhere in the comments section (probably on Kwejk, I don't remember), that's why I wrote "the woman is said to have deleted". 🙂

Only 2 days out of 360 planned for the fundraiser have passed and we already have $480 out of $2400 needed. :)

Well done, people. ❤️

Fair play to Bobi and Milo who contributed the most, but all the others deserve a heartfelt thank you as well - every little helps, so keep those donations coming!

Polonia / Should I visit Portugal? [35]


With kids?

From Gdańsk to Lisboa it's 3300km. Such distance with children means at least three days on the road - one way! So altogether it would be about a week in a car, with two kids wanting to pee, wanting to vomit and constantly asking "are we there yet?".

Thank you very much indeed for your advice, Alien, but I think I'll pass.

Northern Italy is as far as I'm willing to go by car with kids, with one night stop in Ingolstadt.

Polonia / Should I visit Portugal? [35]

Nope. It's a very long drive and my wife is not a fan of flying, so no Portugal for us.

*off to catch some z's*

Good night, Anti!

It's a good thing you're not the kind of guy to hold a grudge for long.

No complaints. Enjoyed Genoa and Firenze a lot, the wine is amazing, and I hope to visit Torino next year.

Still, I would choose Gdańsk over both G and F. Call me biased, I don't care. :)

UK, Ireland / Moving from Ireland to Poland [39]

Visited? I spent three years there and checked many places for food. But maybe it's a matter of taste... de gustibum non est disputandum and all that.


Have you tried zander a la polonaise, pheasant roasted in bacon or żurek on real sourdough served in home-baked bread? If you call that bland, then I have no hope for you, Johnny.

EDIT: or wild boar baked in bread dough and then slowly warmed up over fire, served with hunter's bigos... mmmmm...

@johnny_reb

Ireland's a great country but the food's atrocious. My Irish pals, on the other hand, fell in love with Polish cuisine.

As for Switzerland... ekhm... make sure to let us know how you liked the Swiss when you come back xD

Maybe I'm just getting older, but the more countries I visit the more I appreciate Poland.

All it takes is for 20 members to contribute $10 each, every month, and the site stays online. It's a price of a couple of newspapers for the whole lot of fun that we have here.

Unless somebody decides to be exceptionally generous, like Bobko today, then even fewer people need to chip in that month.

I'm, frankly, surprised that some people don't like the arrangement.

Prehistoric Poles: 2019

Yes, yes - I know they weren't really Poles in full meaning of this word, but they lived in the lands of today's Poland (Holy Cross Mountains) and they were very skillful miners of Neolithic and Bronze ages. The latest addition to Polish UNESCO heritage sites - Krzemionki Prehistoric Striped Flint Mining Region - is an ensemble of four mining sites, dating from about 3900 to 1600 BC, dedicated to the extraction and processing of striped flint, which was mainly used for axe-making.
