Po polsku / Koniec Tuska [17]


Może w demokracji bezpośredniej, na wzór szwajcarski, ale nie w Polsce. Polska jest generalnie demokracją przedstawicielską, a elementy demokracji bezpośredniej, takie jak referenda mają miejsce sporadycznie.

By the way, I hope this new idiom catches on...

to go Paulina on sb - to severly admonish and rebuke someone under the mistaken belief that they were serious, when in fact they were joking

Example:
She went Paulina on him for the sarcastic comment, only realizing later it was all in jest.

Anyways, looks like the entire Israel-Iran drama is over...

There once was a man named Trump,
Whose stance gave opponents a bump.
For Israel he stood,
As he said that he would,
And dealt with Iran with a thump.

There. Courtesy of ChatGPT.

Oh, sh*t. You were joking.

I thought you were being serious and I went Paulina on you. xD Sorry.

Na pewno ta przysłowiowa Polska B najbardziej ucierpi ekonomicznie na masowym napływie imigrantów, ale duże miasta Polski A też będą miały problem.


Nie no, już odpuść w końcu temu Nawrockiemu. Błędy młodości każdemu się zdarzają, już nie ma co drążyć.

Hate to break it to you, Bobi, but "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" is probably (just probably) not the best slogan to win Polish hearts.


Also, I saw Italy related magazines in at least half a dozen languages all over Europe. Somehow I didn't notice similar periodicals about Russia.

As I pointed out in #716, Soviet Union aside from the real power had also certain amount of soft power to exert, at least in some parts of the world. Gold toilet sh*tters' putinist Russia has neither. That's why the current Russian government is such an abomination--they turned a huge country, rich in resources and inheriting the technological and scientific accomplishments from the Soviet Union, with amazing potential to get wealthy and exert cultural soft power all over the world, into a pariah state allied to and relying on weapon deliveries from North Korea and Iran. Russia's problem is not Ukraine, EU, NATO or GloboHomo; their problem is kleptocratic (on a galactic scale) mafia that rules their country.

But why am I stating the obvious here? Ehhh...


Such traumatic experience! Now I understand why you became a metalhead later in your life. ;)

Ha! Always good to have somebody with functioning brain at hand. Good thinking, BB. There were plenty of mixed families or even soldiers of purely German heritage (up to generals and admirals) in Wojsko Polskie in 1939.

Boring. We have it too. Officially...

Boring. Poland First is our motto since 966.


Boring. Are you sure you're not copying these points from Młodzież Wszechpolska website?


... or PiS/Konfederacja websites?


OK, this one point is original but the destruction of international organisations can hardly be considered an interesting "offer for the whole world", can it?

Genealogy / Russian POW Camp records [71]


Are you sure it's not the other way around?

Krzyż Walecznych (Cross of Valour) was established in 1920 but awarded also in the WW2 period and later. The "Polska swemu obrońcy" (Poland to Her Defender) medal was a memorial medal for 1918-1921 war, and as far as I know no version of it was awarded for 1939 campaign. Let me check...

...

Hm... OK, looks like there was a version of "Polska Swemu Obrońcy" awarded for 1939 campaign but it was a communist medal, established in PRL (People's Republic of Poland), and you say that your grandpa moved to West Germany before the end of the war (which is rather odd as well for a decorated Polish soldier).

Strange history...

I thought you liked Putin. Why would you call him imaginary? Weird...


No, thank you. I'd rather take Abrams and HIMARS.


What's the putinist vision for the world then? I don't mean the historic stuff: Cossacks, March to the Pacific, All Slavic Rivers Flowing to the Russian Sea etc. I mean the Putinist Offer for the World 2025. What is it?

Soviet Union and the communists had electrification, liquidating illiteracy, equality and brotherhood of workers, farmers and intelligentsia, lifting millions out of poverty, exploring space, developing all areas of science and so on. What do the putinist gold toilet sh*tters have for the world?

I'm genuinely curious.

Enraged leftists are always good news to me. :)


As far as I know Americans never sold B2s to any country. :(

Erm... *goes checking* ...

OK, looks like "miód na moje uszy" doesn't translate directly into English. I should have said "it's music to my ears". :)


Hear, hear.


We need tons of weapons ASAP. European industry is not able to provide the amounts of stuff that we need quickly enough. Besides, our politicians think that if we are armed to our teeth with American weapons, America won't stand idly when we're invaded (and they might be right).

🤣 🤣 🤣

I bet that's exactly what JR is doing at the moment!


Aaaah, you are pouring honey on my ears, BB. There is still hope for Europe then.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


Oh, I do.

I am not blind though. In its current form the EU is an empire of clerks, with a thousand pens but no sword - as Bobko said, hopelessly impotent.

... and it is rather leftist-leaning too.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


Correct. It's a Soviet Union but without army. :-/

Proving to the world that his parents were first cousins.

@Bobko

From Zelensky's point of view trying to drag the US deeper into war makes perfect sense.

You gotta hand it to Trump, he really has a way with words.

Here's a size comparison between Tipo Estate (what Alien recommends) and 208...

carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-208-2019-5-door-hatchback-vs-fiat-tipo-2015-estate/

... 208 would maybe be enough for you and your guitar but that's pretty much it. ;)

Travel / Traveling! What to do in Warsaw and Krakow? [39]



Two different cars. 208 is definitely too small for a travelling family of 5 with luggage.

1. You omitted the best part about your footballers/hockeyists playing with their dicks.
2. It wasn't me but my evil twin brother Kania.
3. You will still lose this war.


Don't worry about it. It was fun all in all.

Nothing looks good for Amiga.

Imagine if Britain got drunk, wrestled a crocodile, and woke up as a continent - that's Australia, and he has to live there!

Why would anyone coming to Poland choose to live in that kip Warsaw? If I lived there, I'd probably hate Poland myself. :D


Sometimes too clever for his own good. ;)
