What is this and what was it used for?

Buttons for bedclothes from PRL times?

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [421]

because about half of the Polish population watched TVP? (especially the elderly) and they couldn't afford to lose out on the market

Sorry, but this explanation makes no sense to me. Plenty of companies were advertising in TV Republika even when it was a niche TV channel. And now it's the second most watched news channel in Poland. So they would have the same reason to keep advertising in TV Republika as they had in case of TVP - a lot of people watching. Maybe not as much as TVP - but definitely a lot.

And anyway - private companies can advertise wherever they want. It's their choice, you can't force them. Maybe the public opinion can influence it - at least to some extent, I guess, because companies don't want to have bad PR.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [421]

this campaign is not a grass root campaing but it is orchestrated by political and financial structures

And of course you have a proof for that? :)))

who can stop companies from advertising when and where they see fit

So why didn't they stop companies from advertising in TVP and other public media when they were under PiS rule? :)

before the campaing there were ads every 15-20 minutes on Republika

Because barely anyone was watching that channel and so people didn't know what's going on in there. When it suddenly turned from a niche channel into the second biggest news channel in Poland, a lot more people started watching it. And with the spotlight comes scrutiny. That's my take on it.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [421]

there is an ongoing big campaign of getting advertisers to shun TV Republika

TV Republika brought it upon itself:

I guess because of this big increase in viewership people found out what is actually being said on that TV channel and got shocked lol

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [421]

he would like to do it! He took a big step in that direction.

You must be talking about PiS. Don't forget that they tried to finish off TVN.

Hey, that is true

Of course it isn't. Public media aren't the only media in Poland! LOL

Not that would match TVN and TVP combined.

TV Republika outmatched TVP Info and Polsat News already. And that's what matters in media pluralism - news, political talk shows, etc. And TV Republika has all of that.

So, it was no charity - Lis was making money for TVP.

Yeah, Tomasz Lis was a star in those days, even before he moved to TVP - earlier he had a popular show in Polsat "Co z tą Polską?" (2004-2007).

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [421]

TV Republika is not nearly as big as TVP

In what sense? As I already wrote - PiS voters switched from watching TVP to watching TV Republika and now TV Republika is the second biggest news channel in terms of viewership in Poland. It beat even Polsat News.

Why do you repeat that lame lie? Are you that pitifully lame?

What Noorbert1 wrote was pitifully lame and a LIE.
Noorbert1 wrote that Tusk "destroyed media pluralism in Poland", that "He took over all the media by force" and that "Currently, there are no nationwide media critical of the Polishgovernment". All of this are simply lies.

How is that a lie?

I've already explained it in my previous post.

There were two major TV NEWs in Poland TVP and TVN.

And now it's TVN and TV Republika. So what's the problem?

practically nullifying that two-way propaganda balance between those major parties in Poland.

But that's simply not true. Read that article I linked to.

Donald Tusk is definitely a dictator. He destroyed media pluralism in Poland. He took over all the media by force. Currently, there are no nationwide media critical of the Polishgovernment.

This is a lie. Journalists from TVP simply moved to rightwing TV Republika and PiS voters switched from watching TVP to TV Republika. Thanks to this TV Republika changed from a small, niche channel into the second biggest Polish news channel in terms of viewership:

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

You obviously don't care about scratching floors or damaging carpets.

I don't know, maybe I'm a magician, but somehow I have never scratched a floor or damaged a carpet when moving furniture :))) I guess you have never cleaned a place where you live in your life, Poloniusz :D Or maybe you have some really sh1tty floors and carpets? lol

But then again women don't pay financially into relationships

I don't know in what kind of cave you're living, but majority of women in Poland do pay financially into relationships, so stop lying.

Since it is a man who buys or pays the rent on a home, along with all the furniture, plus the vacuum cleaner

Again, majority of women in Poland are working, so cut the bullsh1t.

When women start paying 50/50 for everything in the relationship only then will they be able to speak with any credibility about "sharing".

Many women in Poland do pay 50/50 for everything in the relationship, if not majority. And it's not just about money, you creep. Even if the woman is, let us say, earning less than her husband - earning less doesn't equal spending less time at work and being less tired after work. So, sharing duties at home would be not only a humane thing to do, but also a smart thing to do on the part of the husband, because if apart from working the wife has to do everything at home, take care of the kids and remember and think about almost everything, then she's too tired and stressed out to have sex with the husband. After years of such marriage she may be so tired, burned out and disconnected from her husband that she will divorce him.

So, as you can see, sharing duties at home by the husband and wife together is also in the interest of the husband.

Also, I don't know what it's like in the US, but in Poland husbands often don't earn much more than wives. For example, my father was earning not much more than my mother and for some time she was earning more than him. And yet, she's been always doing much more at home even though my father had a much less tiring job than her and he was spending a lot of time on watching movies on a laptop at work. Even now, when they're retired, she's still doing more at home and she's the one taking care and playing with their granddaughter and taking her to the playground every freaking time. My father is too lazy to even peel an apple for himself - my mother has to do it for him.

Women simply want to be appreciated, not relieved.

Novichok, please don't say what women want. You're not a woman.
Different women may be in different situations and may want different things. For example, a housewife may just want to be appreciated. But a working wife and mother may actually want to be relieved.

Most would freak out if their husbands took over all kitchen and diaper duties

Most women usually want a fair sharing of duties. How many times do I have to repeat it?

Like this?

One can move a sofa from one place to another by pushing it to another place. You don't have to lift it in order to do the vacuuming and wash the floor lol I've pushed beds and armchairs from one place to another on my own in order to clean and I'm a petite weakling :)))

Btw, I've never seen a husband lifting a couch just so his wife could do the vacuuming lol So, that's unrealistic :)

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

I dream daily about gang-raping big beautiful butch lesbians by the dozens on my own

Sorry, gumishu, but considering that it's usually men who are doing the raping, men making jokes about raping women usually isn't funny to women, especially in case of that disturbing joke you made earlier.

I told you before that it is an individual thing, that can be solved by the individual case by case, there is no one general - men need to help with household chores manifesto.

You are the one who made this out of the blue general comment about "lazy women whining about home chores":

So, we explained it to you what this "whining" is all about.

If he is working his ass off and paying the bills, should a woman do at least that much as clean something

I'm not talking about housewives (although they deserve a break too from time to time). I'm talking about a situation when both spouses are working, but all or most of the chores and taking care of the kids is falling on the shoulders of the wife, while the husband gets to rest after work and enjoy his hobbies, sports, meetings with buddies, etc. Get it?

I'm not

Yes, you are.

He made a joke, it is certainly a joke, a bad joke but still a joke and you are scolding him for that and want to interrogate him about it and possibly apologize and humiliate him

Firstly, I don't know if that was a joke.
Secondly, I only stated that I don't know if that was a joke. Then you butted in by claiming that it is a joke, so I wrote that I'd rather hear it from gumishu. I see nothing wrong with that.

And yes, it would be nice to know if it was a joke or if he meant it.

Lastly, jokes often tell you something too about people who make them.

a totalitarian mindest typical in all kinds of leftist and most prominent in the case of Bolshevic comissar because they were given power and henchmen to act on their dislikes.

Simple you dumbo!

Aaaand you're attacking me again like some psycho...

Seems to me that women do not know what love is or that the 'concept' of love is different for women.

Seems to me that you have all kinds of f*cked up views about women.

Oh, I'm sorry that some men would like to experience some selfless caring love from their wives

That may shock you, but women are human beings too, not house robots and they get tired and they would like to experience that "selfless caring love" from their husbands too.

some stupid household chores that any moron with a low IQ can do without many issues...

Well then, if those household chores are so "stupid" and easy, then there's nothing stopping men from doing them! Knock yourselves out you lazy, selfish a$$holes! :)))))

yet women need a lot of help with it...go figure!

Fair sharing of duties at home would be enough. Go figure!

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

Almost as when lazy women tune in and whine about home chores...and men?!

Most women who complain about house chores do that not because they're "lazy". They're complaining about the fact that it's usually only or mainly them doing those house chores even if they're working too.

Of course, he was joking

I'd rather hear it from him.

you have the mindset of a totalitarian Bolshevic commissar!

What kind of bullsh1t is this... lol Jesus... *sigh* 🤦

@Alien, yeah, I was wondering about that too... Why the Czech Republic of all countries? 🤨

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [68]

So, the situation looks like this - communist Poland recognized the Palestinian Declaration of Independence issued by the Palestinian National Council in Algiers in 1988:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine%E2%80%93Poland_relations

In the link which you provided it is stated that:

"Palestinian authorities adopted the Polish position from 1988 and consider it to be still in force. Accordingly, the Palestinian authority did not expect Poland to reconfirm its adoption."

So, is the PRL position from 1988 also the position of today's Poland?

Poland had an opportunity to reconfirm the PRL position from 1988, but it didn't do it:

euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/eu-divided-in-un-vote-on-palestine-s-status/

"The 193-nation UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly approved, the de-facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine. Fourteen EU countries voted in favour, 12 abstained and only the Czech Republic joined the United States and Israel in opposing the move."

Poland was neither in favour nor against. Poland was one of those 12 EU countries that abstained.

Btw, this is me "caving easily to Zionist shaming tactics" lol:

Poland still recognizes and interacts with Palestine as a state.

If that's the case then why such info in this article?:

wnet.fm/2020/02/17/czesc-krajow-ue-uzna-niepodleglosc-panstwa-palestyny-tego-obawia-sie-izraelska-administracja/

"The remaining countries, like Poland among others, maintain diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority, but don't recognize it as an independent state."

Which showed nearly 30% (a third of the country!) still didn't want to live there.

And that's a minority. Majority wants to stay.

You don't know.

I do.

You only feel and your stance on this matter shows how you, as a "strong and independent woman", caved in easily to Zionist shaming tactics

You're talking nonsense :)))

will result in the creation of a Palestinian state

And until that happens Poland doesn't recognize Palestine as an independent state.

You complain that a poll taken within the last 10 years isn't credible

Don't make stuff up.
I didn't claim that it isn't credible. It's simply not up to date anymore. That's why I posted results of a poll from 2023.

Like I said, you don't know what you are talking

I do know.

In other words, you don't know what you are talking about.

What I know is that you were wrong, because Poland doesn't recognize Palestine as an independent state.

Great, just give them all their land back.

It's not mine to give.

This poll is from 2012. How about a more recent one?:

timesofisrael.com/28-of-israelis-considering-leaving-the-country-amid-judicial-upheaval-poll/

"The Channel 13 poll found that 28% of respondents were weighing a move abroad, 64% were not, and 8% were unsure"

So, a majority wants to stay.

Why would they arrest her

So her spying wouldn't be hurting the people she was spying on any longer?

Should be put under surveillance that could lead to something substantial in the future.

We don't know how long she was under surveillance and whether there was any hope for getting anything more out of this in the future.
