People are queuing for hours to vote, one lady said on TV that she's been waiting since 14:50 :O 😳


According to exit poll this is the highest turnout in the history of Poland since the 1989 partially free elections! It's 72,9%, so even higher than then!:

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


I didn't either, but right now I'm thinking about not taking part in the referendum at all. This makes the most sense to me, because most of those questions are a joke. I agree with what Tusk said here:

News / Why Poland has no problem with terrorism [64]

Some guy threatened today to blow himself up on the Smoleńsk statue in Warsaw and this area got sealed off by the police. A negotiator talked him into giving up on this idea. A few hundred police officers were involved, including counter-terrorists:

It isn't clear yet if he really had any explosives.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


I've heard about that, but why is it the case? Is it because of the refugee problem?

Off-Topic / Best posters [886]


On PF? You've come to such conclusions only now? lol I don't trust and don't count on anyone on this forum for quite some time now (including you) and never will...

But even here I don't cross certain lines... I didn't tell anyone who I think you are and never will. Also, I didn't tell anyone some stuff Ironside told me about himself, even though you tried to get it out of me, because he shared it in a private message. I act according to my principles... I'd call it what you claim I don't have - "basic decency".

So, you're going too far with those accusations. If you're serious with this, that is, because I never really know...

With the genocide of millions of people? How about everything is wrong with that??
Besides, it's just a stupid fantasy of yours. There are 1.9 billion Muslims in the world. How are you going to "vet" them and kill them? lol 🤦

@Cargo pants, are you calling for the genocide of all Muslims?

From another thread:


Those are the Chief of General Staff, Gen. Rajmund Andrzejczak and the head of the Operational Command of the Armed Forces, Gen. Tomasz Piotrowski:

Not so weird, if you think about it, but worrying.

@mafketis, no, I have a massive headache and I can't watch it (to be fair, I'll probably wouldn't be watching it anyway).

USA, Canada / "You have tornadoes in this country, we have graveyards" - What is meant by this statement? [14]


I don't get it either, to be honest... I mean, it's possible that it's what mafketis wrote - "an oblique reference to wars", but it's a strange thing to say... I've never heard any Pole making such weird comparisons and, personally, I wouldn't make it myself... 🤨

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [543]


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


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" :)

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*


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]


Yeah, it's something like that :))


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]


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:


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 :)))


I thought Feniks is a guy... 🤨

Wait a minute... 🤔

Ohhh....!!! :D

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

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


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:

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:


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]


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 :/


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.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]


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.


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*
