Yes, possible, but the OP omitted it in the Polish translation, I suppose on purpose.
On second thoughts, no, Ziem. We śnie is close to : jak we śnie. You don`t need to use possessive adjectives in the phrase.

Not really coz the priest also mentioned euthanasia and I don`t think Trzask supports it.
The priest got carried away too much. Unfortunately, he forgot wise words from the Gospel :
Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

nie potrafię uciec od smutku

W mej głowie, jesteś moim przeznaczeniem
ale los mówi nie
Muszę pogodzić się z losem
iść naprzód
ale utknąłem
w błędnym kole.
we śnie, we śnie
Może kiedyś będziesz moja
I corrected the most obvious mistakes. One might still try to polish it a little, use more poetic expressions.

hahaha Sorry, you are daydreaming. Konfederacja will never get more than 10%, with the new system they disappear from Sejm.
If PiS offers them coaltion, their asses are saved, buit not for free, of course. If not, they have only one fekking chance - join a wide opposition coalition. Also with leftists. hahahahaha
In three years time, there will be an ultimate showdown between PiS and Konfederacja for power in Poland

Hey, all Konfederacja fans of PiS!!!
Have you heard about their latest idea? They are thinking of bringing back 100 multi-member constituencies (wielomandatowe okręgi wyborcze). In such a situation, the real threshold of entering the Parliament by parties is about 10-15%.
This means that either you go with PiS, officially as a coalition member, or you vanish into the thin air from the Parliament.

Yes, they can do it but they can also try to rip you off, arranging various scams, e.g., pretending the washing machine is broken and then expecting you to refund the repair costs to them. That is why you need sb on spot to make sure. You know the English proverb about doing things oneself.
but I guess they will have to take care of things like that.

The explanation is very simple but you don`t know it so let me enlighten you. Societies treated gays with utter hostility coz they were unproductive, I mean they didn`t bear children. Waging wars in the past caused a lot of casualties which had to be compensated somehow. Gays didn`t contribute to keeping society`s military power so they were useless.

Hmm, convenient service but I am afraid not too many Poles will use it. I presume you will focus on big cities first. So, in big cities, most of us live next to shops/stores which offer beer. Secondly, a walk to such a shop often turns into a social occasion coz you can meet your friends at the shop and have a small chat with them. You can even find a hidden bench and drink your beer together on it. Having beer delivered to your dorstep is for utter unsociable lazies. Not many Poles are like that.
