Travel / Do Poles like to hunt? Hunting in Poland. [211]

Killing things yourself is entirely unnatural and primitive. This is why the overwhelming majority of people avoid it.

It's actually more moral and natural to kill your own food, than to whistle nothing to see hear, and let the proleteriat do the nasty work for you at the slaughterhouse. if you want to get on your high horse at least claim to be a vegetarian first.

just have to wait until the '68 generation dies out (should be soon enough) and conservative politicians take over

A very good point, yes history works in cycles, and the children of those parents, who are dragged to drag queen story town will be conservative as ****.

it's staggeringly sad to see how people don't realise how they're being played.

The feeling is mutual, all that money being made by the trans industry and shonky doctors by selling unproved for safety puberty blockers, mastectomies, genital tucks to ignorant parents to mutilate their children. And as if that doesn't have money, PR companies behind it that seek to influence the public debate, perhaps it's you that's being played, sucker. Luckily the U.K goverment wised up and shut down tavistock, USA next to go.

This isn't a 'political movement'. Where are the political parties?

Now you're nitpicking and making yourself look silly, the fight for legalisation of homosexuality and later the legalisation of gay marriage in some countries did not require a 'political party.' As with any political movement, boots on the ground, organisational structures, influential allies, money, and most importantly pasage of time are the keys.

loving his neighbour and not judging people.

Demanding someone change their use of language and modify the definition of the english language without an invitation to do so, to satisfy that persons personal beliefs of their identity and entitlement and then explicitly ostracising and punishing them for not doing so is neither nice or charitable and definitely does not contribute to a better society.

Very hard to know what they mean by 'a sin'.

As in a english school teacher recently being suspended and banned from school grounds, and then chucked in jail for returning to the school, for refusing to address one of their students as 'they'. Yes perhaps I should have used the word crime instead of sin.

"No such thing. Unlike PiS' theocracy, there simply isn't an 'ideology' at all."

Abortion is a sin and must be punished.
Refusing to use someones choice of 93 pronouns is a sin and must be punished.

A person can be cured/saved through the power of prayer ie thought
A man can give birth and a woman can have a penis through the power of thought.

Sounds all the same to me

Life / Can they use my stolen iPhone abroad / in Poland? [11]

I called the Polish t-mobile

An IMEI block is done by the telco you are using, if you did not have a Polish T-Mobile plan or prepaid sim that was in the iphone recently, then there is nothing you can do.

Of course on android there are ways to remotely kill the phone if you know your marbles.
But the fact that it's an iphone means your relative will be having fun with some bath salts.

only to receive those desired billions from the EU. Funny.

It shows that PiS fundamentally believes in europe as in a community of nation states working together for better economic outcomes, would you have prepared we had gone to war with EU and won, like Hungary did?

Just last few days Hungary got their money by threaten to veto aid to Ukraine and mimimum corporate tax rate in EU, and Eurocrats folded like pack of cards.

It shows that apart from ziobro, kaczynski and morawiecki and PiS are moderates willing to compromise. Plus this money will boost lots of infrastructure development and help PiS win next election, good news! Bad news for traitors like pawianowicz!

News / The Baltics states rely on Poland as their main defender against Russian aggression?? [213]

Angry leftards should really be removed from positions of power - t

I think the definition we are looking for is fedralists vs the nation statists, and with the invevtible collapse of the euro, the ones that want to get rid of nation states and centralise power in brussels will be discredited and we will return to the concept of the EU as it should be.

Congrats on finding Perun, his videos are excellent. Very intersting the picture that he presented, that Poland is working with Korea to set up a joint venture for technology transfer and manufacture and sell weapons in Europe as a competitor to France and Germany. Hopefully PO won't rip up the contracts and kowtow to the krauts again.

The Korean equilivant to HIMARS, the K239 looks pretty sweet, and high probability it will be manufactured in poland.

Australia / Anybody send parcel with POCZTA-POLSKA to Australia? [16]

Use postal.ninja/en to track your letter between national carriers, also polska poczta sends parcels to australia by sea if not expressly advised, not sure how letters work, but it might be the same deal. if postal ninja shows that the departure point of your letter was a seaport then u know it'll take a couple of months

And people have newspapers on their phones

u know as well as i do the business elite love the touch and feel of a real paper newspaper in the morning. nothing better to do on a train than hear the page turning of a Fleet Street broadsheet and a coffee, or in this case gazeta prawna.

as you'd know if you used them regularly rather than commenting from two continents away.

stop playing the man rather than the ball, i love my rail and planes, and rail in poland, how about u stop resorting to the bbc tactics (brit bully boy club) when having a internet postathon.

'Business class'? Like first class with lounges and drinks? PKP has that already

No like actual wifi on trains, a power point to charge your laptop, a proper table to do work, and newspapers being brought to your seat along with mint tea

Travel / Weird and wonderful Polish train fares [79]

who you'd like to see making and taking profits from Polish public services.

As i mentioned, private operators under the open-acess model pay money to the goverment for using the gov owned rail infrastructure, the decrease in prices and niche bussiness class offerings leads to an increase of revenue, and more importantly better connectivity to polish society, and thus more economic mobility. currently the warsaw-krakow price is set artificially at about 60 zloty by pkp ic and tlk, imagine if the low cost seats by regiojet was 30 zloty, how much that would stimulate the economy.
