@pawian, from what I can see this was reported on most Polish news portals besides TVP:

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [492]

An actress encouraged people to take part in the elections on her Instagram account.

I remember her, she played the prosecutor in the "Wataha" TV series...

He wrote: you wh.re

I like what one GROM veteran (he himself an accomplished athlete) wrote to that actress in connection to this. He wrote that she shouldn't take this to her heart, because maybe word "wh0re" is normal for this guy. Maybe his wife and his buddies address him "You, faggot!" and so this is also a normal word for him lol He also concluded: "A hero on the internet, a pu$$y in real life" :)

Wow again, hats off to you, ladies and gentlemen of the Kaliska Club.

Love / Question about Polish dating/women [42]

@Lenka, I don't think women usually think about men's age in such terms (at least consciously)... But Newguy will face the same problem as in the US - why would a woman in her 20s choose a man hitting 40 if she can easily get herself a younger guy? Unless, of course, Newguy doesn't mind getting into a relationship with a gold digger - that should make things easier then, I guess *shrugs*

one being I can't have a kid with a woman my age.

Well, it may be not as easy as with a woman younger than that, but it's not like women getting near 40 become automatically infertile lol You could also date a woman who is at the start of her 30s. But I'm guessing that those other "many reasons" play a bigger role than a woman's ability to have a kid lol :))

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

To me, a better definition would be ' don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.

Yeah, it's something like that :))

Serio? 😂

Yes, because "feniks" in Polish language is a noun with masculine gender and so my Polish brain assumed you must be a man... ;D

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

I was catching at a straw to get the meaning closer to Feniks using the phrases she could know in English.

Yes, I know and my impression was that in doing so you maybe overcomplicated it a bit, because in my opinion that would be enough of a hint:

what is the formal term/words for their meaning??

Don't get me wrong though, I don't claim that I would make "better" hints or whatever, because I wouldn't lol - my brain feels lazy just from thinking about it ;D

But in retrospect, I probably shouldn't have butted in and should let you torture Feniks a bit more, so - sorry for that :)))

she

I thought Feniks is a guy... 🤨

Wait a minute... 🤔

Ohhh....!!! :D

@Feniks, don't worry, it was difficult and pawian's hints were somewhat confusing, imho :))

PiS strongly argues that Poland 2050 and PSL will fall short of the threshold, but they (PiS) can go on a ride with it.

I think it's the idiom "przejechać się na czymś/kimś". Which means that, for example, you count on something to happen, but you can get severely disappointed. So, PiS strongly argues that Poland 2050 and PSL will fall short of the threshold, but it can turn out that PiS will get very disappointed, because it may not happen.

It's the second meaning:

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]

but it is mentioned that some parts of the interview weren't conducted in English

Btw, it would probably be better if Zelensky didn't give such long interviews in English, because he's simply not fluent enough and due to that he may have problems with getting his point across...

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

From another thread:

Plenty of mud-slinging and childish lampooning going on from both sides in the present electoral campaign.

Sorry, but I'm not following the campaign that close, so you'd have to give me examples coming from the PO side (I know the usual crap coming from the PiS side, so you don't have to tell me about it lol).

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]

You can listen to the original interview here:

I've listened to it after I've checked that newspaper. Zelensky didn't say anything of that sort in the podcast, but it is mentioned that some parts of the interview weren't conducted in English, so maybe it's in the article. Unfortunately, I can't read it, because it's paid access :/

at least as far as internal/domestic politics is concerned.

But you wrote about diplomacy, not about internal politics. And there's a stark difference between how PO conducted their foreign policy during their rule and how PiS is doing that.

As for the rest of your post - we're going off topic, so I'm going to comment on the rest in "Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023" thread.
Paulina

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]

Unfortunately this is a bit of a Slavic trait - not very good at diplomacy.

I don't know about that - Poles, Ukrainians and RuSSians aren't the only Slavic nations in this world :)) Besides, there's a pretty big difference between the diplomacy of PiS and PO, for example, so I don't think you're being fair, imho.

Btw, despite the name, the source is not an Irish newspaper, just in case anyone thinks it is. It's Australian.

I see, I thought it's Irish and a legit newspaper, but I've checked now and it turns out it's an "online newspaper"... I guess I'll have to check if Zelensky actually said what was written there *sigh*

Australia / Power of Attorney to sell land in Poland from Australia [17]

@Atch, yeah, maybe it's better if he doesn't come to Poland after all - we have enough of nutjobs - no need for more lol

Ah this is getting funny

Indeed lol

I support "ruch dobrobytu i pokoju" but that party is not represented on your television so you would not know they exist in Poland.

You mean like this? lol:

Boy will you get a shock when you find out how many Polish soldiers have died fighting for ukraine.

Ooohh, are you some kind of RuSSian troll or an Australian version of a Konfederacja voter? :D
I rest my case then lol

@Gorilla, I see you prefer to believe your own delusions than the reality on the ground. That's strange, but whatever floats your boat :))) 🤦

Of course, it's possible that you don't want to waste your money on a trip if you can take care of that issue remotely - that would be a more reasonable explanation of your attitude to me :) I'm afraid I can't help you with that though.

like ukranians beating up Polish kids for refusing to say "slava ukrania"

As far as I remember those were Georgians, not Ukrainians.

the darker side of Poland

Every country has a darker side, including Australia lol Poland is still one of the safest countries in Europe though. And my guess is that Australia has many more immigrants from "incompatible cultures" than Poland does o_O:

@Gorilla, life in Poland is completely normal :))) It's probably safer here than in Australia with that crazy wildlife you have there ;D

You can come to Poland and take care of that issue in person, trust me - I live here :))

Mass migration from incompatible cultures

Where? In Poland?? lol 🤨

Poor Ukrainian diplomacy

I've got to say that this comment by Zelensky about Ukrainian refugees was a strange thing to say:

irishsun.com/news/273962752/zelensky-senses-weakening-western-support

He seems to forget that they are guests in our countries and they can be booted out if they misbehave. 🤨

As for Polish-Ukrainian relations - our governments may quarrel, but Ukrainian soldiers know who's a friend and who's a foe - this is what Mateusz Lachowski, a Polish war correspondent in Ukraine, wrote on his Facebook profile:

"When Polish and Ukrainian politicians are quarreling, Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline make such stuff to thank Poles for their help.
The society isn't the same as politicians.
Let us remember that and not allow for a division between us, because nothing makes Russia more happy than our quarrels.
Greetings from Ukraine!"

@Cargo pants, but according to that article on Onet it was Wawrzyk who organised everything and was directly giving instructions to those "low level people" which immigrants should get visas.

I doubt that,it is the low level people working in embassies who were making money.

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister isn't a "low level person":

Life / Why is women-hatred and stereotyping so popular in Poland? [181]

If they insult you, say "thank you" and just don't continue.

So, you think that Lenka and me were insulting Ironside too? You think that Iron has the same views as those men?

Value your amazing man-awesomeness.

And what do you think about the "amazing man-awesomeness" of Ronald Lasecki and Mateusz Curzydło? Do you agree with their views?

woha! so that your ovaries speaking? just chill...

No, this is my humanity and being brought up with Christ's teachings speaking.
Do you think those men who said those things are good people?

If you listen to women, when you are a man and especially to those who claims to be feminist is the same ...

What a load of bullsh1t. Women/feminists don't claim that treating men as their property, their livestock is a "healthy arrangement". They're not saying that beating and raping their husbands should be allowed by law. They don't claim that men shouldn't be allowed to vote and run as candidates in elections.

women will get some teast of their own medicine,

This comment really shows your stupidity and what a disgusting human being you are. Women were being served this "medicine" for hundreds of years. In some places they're still being served this "medicine". Men haven't been even close to knowing what it's like.

True.

most women today are morons..

What about men, according to you?

..if you think about it

And what do you think about what was said during that congress of the Patriarchy Foundation?:

Life / Why is women-hatred and stereotyping so popular in Poland? [181]

Lately a congress of the Patriarchy Foundation took place in Poland. I've seen fragments of the discussions of Polish men taking place during that event and I was... absolutely shocked. It's worse than stuff I heard from the likes of Andrew Tate, etc:

wiadomosci.radiozet.pl/polska/to-nagranie-szokuje-w-tle-politycy-konfederacji-kobieta-jako-czesc-dobytku

There were Janusz Korwin-Mikke and Damian Adam Marks from Konfederacja present there, among others.

This is what Ronald Lasecki, a journalist who published in "Myśl Polska" (surprise, surprise), among others, said during this congress:

"- Women used to be part of the household inventory with the status higher than animals or movable property, but they weren't nevertheless taking part in the decision making process on equal terms. And this is in fact, if we're talking about the relations between women and men, in my opinion a healthy arrangement. What I mean, the patriarchal system, essentialy - we're taking care of the well being of women that belong to us, but we're treating them not like partners, but as a part of our property."

Well, that's the most honest assessment of a patriarchal system that I've heard from a man lol

Mateusz Curzydło, the founder of Patriarchy Foundation was clearly agreeing with him.

I think these men are evil/psychopaths, btw.

In case you didn't believe he actually said that, here's a video with a fragment of his... utterance :

x.com/krz_luksza/status/1703073974890942795?s=20

And there's more - he also pointed out that the prohibition of men beating women is a fairly "new thing", that in Islam the husband is still allowed to beat his wife. He also added that it's the same with any physical contact unwanted by a woman. Mateusz Curzydło (the founder of this foundation) again agreed with him and said that it's also the same with spanking children - it's a completely new thing too!

In an interview with Janusz Korwin-Mikke Mateusz Curzydło stated that, unlike Korwin-Mikke, he not only thinks that women shouldn't have the right to vote, but they also shouldn't be allowed to take part in elections as candidates.

This guy published a video with fragments of those men's utterances that I wrote about:

instagram.com/reel/CxYA7Mrto8r/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

It looks like that Patriarchy Foundation is a gathering of not only misogynists, but also of psychopaths, potential rapists and wife-beaters.

"Traditional family values" at its best :)))))))
