Love / Do Polish guys like girls who are shy, modest and sensitive [41]

No, I'm simply acknowledging the fact that the reality is more complicated than how you picture it.

Because I picture the reality in global context, and I mean millions!!!

While you prefer to focus on individual cases like your family`s, for example.

Hence we can`t reach an understanding as we don`t know what each other means. :):):)

Goddess and History will judge who is right!! hahahaha

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

kaczynski always wins,

Yes, even when he loses, like lately. hahahaha

This is far from impossible

If he offers them a chance to join his party in the near future and promises he will support them at the next elections, I am sure a dozen or two reasonable guys from PIS will change the colours. They should know that PiS is going downhill very fast.

Having some PIS members on his side, Tusk will abolish President`s vetoes on his gov`s decisions.

You could say - both, I guess

In this way, sitting astride on the barricade, we can say anything: that black is white and white is black - when needed. :):):)

But running a discourse like that is a waste of time. That is why let`s agree to disagree although I am not sure what your real point of view is on the subject and about what you agree with me or disagree.

Never mind. :):):):)

Hmm, I get an impression you contradict yourself a few times in your recent posts.
E.g,

those generations that grew up under communism got f*cked up by those times

For example, having and keeping a job in communist times was usually a given. My parents worked in the same place all their lives.

So, were the oldies fekked up or they had easy comfortable lives with stable jobs, low rents etc ????? :)::)

When I was a kid during the 90s my biggest worry and constant stress was that my parents will get fired from their jobs

You can be a youngster from a greenhouse kid generation. You didn`t experience the harsh reality of the martial law. Ha!

I sometimes wonder if people are getting more and more sensitive

Yes, they are. Today youngsters are raised in greenhouse environment instead of harsh communist winter like us, oldies.

We, oldies, survived the martial law. It didn`t kills us but made us stronger.
And what did those youngsters live through?? Pandemics when they didn`t go to school and played computer games during online education?????

History / Unforgettable quotes about Poland and Poles from Polish and world`s history and culture [99]

The conclusion of an article on Polish politics by a foreign analyst:

At a time when the war in Ukraine has shifted the EU's center of gravity to the East, Poland's return to the European mainstream is of fundamental importance. Improving Polish-German relations today is as important for the future of the EU as the rapprochement between France and Germany in the 1950s. A self-confident and pro-European Poland may prove to be a key force in rebuilding the EU.

But Poland is Poland, we should be ready for any surprises.


It is funny and sad at the same time. Other Europeans still consider us unpredictable. We are like Russians to them.
Thank you, PiS. You have been fekking up the image of Poland for 8 years. I will never forgive you that, you PiS whorres.

Po polsku / Karma zawsze (zwykle?) wraca - przykłady z życia [62]

Dołożyła swoją cegiełkę do klęski PiSu. Te ich kłamstwa w sądzie na temat wypadku, zaginione dowody, długie 5 letnie postępowanie. To było jak rządy PISu w pigułce - oszukańcy i mafia u władzy. Ja o tym doskonale pamiętałem w czasie głosowania. Na pewno nie byłem jedyny.

PiS, brawo wy!!!! hahahahaha

There is no shortage of political lunatics in the world.

The world is the world but Poland is Poland and lunatics have been defeated which is a good omen for the future.

Food / Best Polish vegetarian food and other general queries [21]

but where is the meat or fish?

Here you are - a lunch/dinner without meat or fish is a lunch/dinner lost. I need high calorie food to feel full for a few hours when I am busy at work, either at school or in the fields.

The first pic shows a fish fillet, pork chop, fava beans and lettuce straight from the field - I didn`t even have time to cut off their roots.

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]

Nope. Let`s go back to your suggestion which I commented on with: On the contrary.

You suggested growing more of the plant in that patch.
I replied on the contrary which means no more growing.

What does it all mean? Why is there a tape like object in all pictures? Did you notice it changes its position??? How???

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

whatever tastes good is healthy .

Unfortunately, it doesn`t apply to most dishes in the Polish cuisine. Due to harsh winters, Poes always needed to eat more fat and meat than Italians, for example. Such traditions are hard to beat.

That is why I eat so many veg and fruit.

Don't you know how to pour a beer? It's 3/4 full of foam!

I know and that is exactly the proper style of pouring beer to see if it is good quality. Poor beer doesn`t make foam.

Your silly words suggest you know little of beer or you drink pee beer without foam. Which one is true for you??? hahahaha

It's probably pi$$ warm as well.

Nope, I keep all my beers in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving. Especially on hot summer days.

going to take 20 mins before it settles down.

As I said, you know nothing about good beers. :):):) AmaSSing!

Look at sth you have never tried in your pathetic life of an Am azhole!!! :

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

EU is still blocking the funds coz PiS refuses to cancel their deforms.

During the election campaign, the opposition will claim they are going to unblock the funds as soon as possible. Millions of Poles are waiting.

My words from early August proved prophetic. Mr Prime Minister Tusk had just gone to the EU to negotiate unblocking the funds for Poland. 57 billion euros.

Thank you, Mr Tusk!!!

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

Experts are unanimous - PIS` decision to drastically restrict the right to abortion in 2020 was the turning point for Poland - it was the time when PiS permanently lost the support of moderate voters some of whom had voted for PIS before.

It means the society and its views on abortion have changed in recent years., Anybody who plans keeping or gaining power in Poland has to take it into consideration from now on.

Such a climate, my dear. I can`t help it.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

A good article which could be summarised:

Antiliberal campaign by PiS paradoxically ended with the rise of liberalism in Poland, supported mainly by moderate voters who had enough of PiS` autocratic agenda.

polityka.pl/tygodnikpolityka/swiat/2232474,1,krastev-dla-guardiana-kaczynski-znow-zrobil-z-polakow-liberalow.read?src=mt

That is why I am looking into the future with optimism. Those rightists won`t change their agenda and methods coz if they did, they would stop being rightists. Their antiliberal attitude will further antagonise decent Poles who reject autocracy. In result, PIS will never gain power again. Excellent!

I wouldnt eat that

hahahaha You say so coz you are a rightist azhole biased not only towards decent liberals but also their food. Everybody knows about it here.

That is why we don`t treat your azholing seriously. Ha!

inspiring cuisine.

Of course. I only show meals which are tasty to me. My comfort food. Sometimes healthy too. Mostly I don`t cook inspiring dishes coz I don`t have time, even in the summer holidays.

Nope.

A hint: Contrary to what you said.

Hint 2: the plant is balloon berry aka strawberry raspberry.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

Let me remind you that Walęsa persuaded the communist party`s allies to break away and make an alliance with Solidarity. Thus, the pro democratic opposition got an upper hand over communists and created their own government.

I am waiting for another repetition of history - Tusk convincing some PIS members to join him, thus getting rid of the risk of their President`s veto on the new gov`s decisions.

That would be a stunt equal to Wałęsa`s genial move in 1989.
