There's always the Polish-language section though, if you prefer.

Work / Chances of working in Poland as an IT System / Server Administrator? ( I have 3 years experience ) [17]
Have you tried looking at praca.pl or any of their rival recruitment platforms? Having said that, it's a slow period for recruitment right now due to Covid.
The people there who are anti-migration would (and do) strongly disagree with you.
Anyway, your opinions on recruitment (apart from being anti-Polish) don't help the person who's asked the question.
Can you please tell me is there demand for sys admins in Poland?

From ancestors?
Not many people inherit a medieval manor house from an ancestor 10 generations back. Nor, necessarily, do they inherit any of that ancestor's genes.

What's the point of running a business if you don't hire purely on merit.
You evidently believe that companies abroad shouldn't hire Poles and instead take only 'local' workers'.
What about other countries 'swamped' by Poles?

Yet there's an option for someone not to be the parent of a profoundly disabled kid, or or not to give birth to a malformed mass of flesh without a brain.
Sadly, the monsters in government now expect women to carry such a foetus to term. Hence protests by Poles on a scale never before seen.

Pregnancies are terminated when appropriate. If you think they shouldn't happen, let us know how many severely disabled people you've cared for until the end of their short and difficult lives.
A foetus isn't a child.
Perhaps you prefer illegal home abortions.

This isn't about 'murder'. It's about forcing women to carry foetuses that aren't viable.
It's also about women being able to access terminations in sterile and regulated conditions, instead of getting out the coat hanger.
The scale of the protests show that Polish women want the same access to terminations as any other.
Pennyroyal tea was what they used to use in the UK. It's still on sale.

Travel / Pot in Poland for tourists [285]
I prefer anti-inflammatory meds and painkillers, however painkillers strong enough to actually work are habit-forming, hence the appeal of medical marijuana.
Flower remedies, incantations, reiki and hopi candles just don't cut the mustard. Amber spirit (maybe better in another thread) sounds interesting. How does it work?
If your joints ache, rub amber spirit on them until the pain is gone.

That will come. Interestingly, the police are often advocates for legalisation. They'd rather go into a house full of stoners than a house full of drinkers.
In Europe they're usually a lot more sparing than that, and mixed with tobacco or (nowadays) neutral 'fill' made from the leaves..
Sadly I am. If I go and get a prescription, it'll be back to the Camberwell Carrot (and my physical joints will stop aching).

And remember, it's now available legally on prescription here.

In the public sphere (shops etc), and especially those in cities there's very little bonhomie. Shop assistants even argue with customers.
Similar in Berlin and Prague. In Western Europe shopping etc is a more pleasant experience.
