Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


Which makes my point even better...
Hi, did you see my new Rolex?
No. I thought it was Timex. How much was it?
50 grand.
Wow. What time is it?
It's 4:37.
Guess what! My Fossil for 75 says the same thing!!! Isn't that cool?

Even if they can't, the best way a listener can show his appreciation is if he wants to play it again. No garbage like that German rock meets this condition. In fact, we are grateful and feel relieved when it's over.

The best way for a Polish person to learn English is to use it every moment you are awake and stop looking back. There is no back.

In Poland, English is like riding a bicycle. It's fun to be able but the opportunities are rare.

And her sister.


Yes. Not on the piano but humming. Good enough as a test. Certainly recognize.
Synthesized stuff is cool but that's all.

No kidding...Contacting Polish Consulate in Chicago from Chicago is harder than reaching the White House so I am shocked that some naive soul gave you that advice.


You are assuming that your physical presence would change things. I wouldn't be so sure.
I don't know how much that land is worth and who will get the money when sold. If it's not much or if it's somebody else who will get it proceeds, just walk away. At some point, I had an opportunity to buy my parent's apartment at one of the best locations in Warsaw (Nowy Swiat 47a) and realized that the gain would not be worth the aggravation, so I just let it go.


Even if she did, she is not your moral or legal responsibility. With that attitude, you are in the clear if you just let things be. Are you going to be there to argue, lose, and feel like s**t that you didn't do enough? How long are you willing to be there? Until she dies or when you will get to the end of your rope?

Acting on emotions is never good. Think things through, have a clear "what if" plan before you take the first step.
My best advice and the bottom line: let it go. You have your own life to live.

My definition of music: a series of sounds an average person can repeat - if not the whole thing, at least some of it. Therefore, random sounds without the beginning, the middle, and the end are not music.

Also, real music does not tolerate errors. Banging a frying pan on another frying pan can easily tolerate errors in the intensity and the frequency of banging, hence, it's music only to the weirdos who play it. Based on this brilliant definition, Asians are not capable of composing music.

On the other hand, hit the wrong key playing Chopin, and 6 billion people would notice it.

She needs medical care, not you. Don't go.
The property can be taken care of by lawyers. Problem solved.

...whiplash and a wife telling you to never do it again.
Seriously, a Tesla that does 1.8s is like a 20,000-dollar Rolex. Both present the problem for the owner how to smuggle these two numbers into the conversation since he knows that the incremental value of both items is about zero.

Why would anybody buy an electric car? Please no lectures about global anything. Selfish reasons only.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]

I think it starts with contempt and the false sense of non-existing superiority. Just look at the Brits here.
Hate comes in when they are proven wrong.

Power: enough for 5.5s 0 to 60. Price: 30k. I always buy them used so that's not a problem. Size: 4-door sedan. Quietness: Low enough so I can whisper and still be heard at 70 mph. This last spec is mainly in the tires and the road if it's a V8.

Illinois roads in the Chicago area are so damn noisy from those left to right grooves.
The last and the most important spec is reliability after 100k miles. This eliminates all American cars from my shortlist. All those I had lost transmissions at 100k.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


I don't like the concept and the price. A car that cannot go 400 miles on one fillup is a go-cart. Plus, the recharge time. Five max. But I admit that 1.9 seconds is amazing.

That's the advantage of DC motors with their flat torque curve - even at zero speed.

USA, Canada / Just got out of jail in California and met a young man of Polish ancestry whilst in prison [27]


Just imagine what these parasites - I mean the "prison-industrial complex" and the rest of that rotten "system" - would do if one day we all quit criming. (I just made that word up). What would they criminalize next to get new meat into the grinder?

I have zero doubt that their incompetence in stopping drugs from the Latin s**tholes is premeditated and well-calibrated to maximize the system income. That is why they will not make them legal or go China's way. That sick Western center seems best for cash flow and pensions.

And then there are those detox centers at 40 grand a month with 5% success rates. Snorting white s**t is an illness, of course, and the snorters in need of and deserving our love and compassion.

USA, Canada / Just got out of jail in California and met a young man of Polish ancestry whilst in prison [27]

I have a deal for you. If you take our Africans and Latinos, our prison would have an echo in them. Instead, every time the subject comes up, you put that idiotic sarcastic smile on and wish more of these scumbags here.

Also, how about that wall you hate so much...It would keep the hordes including the MS-13 lovelies away from the whites who, btw, are just as peaceful as the Euros.

So now, under the US umbrella, how about exhaling and chilling?

And the difference between "pandering" and acting according to the needs of the voters is exactly what?

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


That should not entitle Poles to act up and hate on Russia if for only one reason which stupid people always overlook; there is no upside to it.

Off-Topic / Anyone into soviet synth wave music here? [21]

Yes, it is. The most perfect composition ever if you want to think about the meaning of life. It also shows how men and women working together in harmony can create magical things.

UK, Ireland / The best way for a Polish person to learn English? [46]

One problem for any immigrant including Poles is other immigrants who speak lousy English as well. That is why on arrival you (editorial) should avoid them like a plague or you will be speaking that awful immigrant English in your coffin fifty years later.

That was a really bad idea to call him dumb. How many friends do you have here, after all?
My suggestion is that you reserve such things for your enemies. He is not one of them.

Other than that, can you state your point clearly, in one paragraph, without swearing, and in decent English?

Sorry for pissing on your parade but God wins again...

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]

Quoting:

Rosjanie nie wycofują się jednak ze stwierdzeń, że ich jeńcy byli w Polsce eksterminowani. Przyznają, że nie było egzekucji, ale twierdzą, że to Polacy i tak są odpowiedzialni za śmierć Rosjan, bo stworzyli im tak fatalne warunki, że ci konali z głodu i chorób.

In English:

The Russians, however, do not withdraw from the claims that their prisoners of war were exterminated in Poland. They admit that there was no execution, but claim that the Poles are still responsible for the death of the Russians because they created such terrible conditions for them that they died of hunger and disease.

That difference is very small but still exists. Add to it that the Russians were the aggressor whereas Poles in Katyn were not. Now the difference is huge.

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


That was bad but not equal to Katyn. Even the Russians agree that these POWs died from hunger and diseases, not a bullet in the head.

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


Which is good and bad at the same time.
Ether way, it's artificial, temporary, and scary. I wonder what will happen when the music stops if that money goes mainly into consumption.
It reminds me of our deficit-driven fake prosperity.

...because it's not nice to criticize females - no matter what they do, how often, and how stupid. Always trust a woman, never blame a woman or you are fired.

Poloniusz told you what he thinks of your q for q method. I agree.

So I'd like to know your opinion about the human-trafficking of adults.

Life / I love Poland, but... [53]

Strzelec, don't do that. No matter what you post, they will dismiss it. Been there, done that. This is not the court of law. Take it or leave it.

Life / I love Poland, but... [53]

I read that thing. Polish government got pussified like the rest of the Western touchy-feely matriarchal swamp. Instead of assistance to the "trafficked", they should be charged criminally for their illegal entry, stay, and work without a permit. Yeah, I know, human rights and compassion...

Human trafficking is a bs phrase meant to diminish the culpability of the woman. You know, women are never wrong.
If she goes from A to B to f**k for dollars, it's prostitution, pure and simple. If some guy in a black leather jacket pays for the bus ticket, it's "trafficking". Sure. I got it.

And it's never that he is a trafficker and she goes with the plan. Oh, no! Ladies and gentlemen, she is BEING TRAFFICKED! Passive voice for that extra impact.

The insinuation: tied up, gagged, thrown into the trunk, and coming barely alive to the destination.

Life / I love Poland, but... [53]


Who gives a crap about human-trafficking in a thread like this. Did you bother to read Post One?
I got enough reminders from the posters and the O violations to be synthesized to the vandalism going on here in this thread.
