History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]
It's ironic you mention this, because one of the foundations for the creation of the EU was the desire for this history to not repeat itself again:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union
"In this light European integration was seen, already during the war, as an antidote to the extreme nationalism which had devastated parts of the continent."
People like Pawian who praise the EU need to remember their history

Work / How can I found job for Hebrew speakers in Poland? [46]
At the University of Warsaw and at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, for example.
It is interesting, especially considering that the guy who's the co-creator of "Fauda" and portrays the main character basically plays himself in a way. He served in the Duvdevan Unit (and his father served in Shayetet 13 and Shin Bet). After his military service he moved to the United States and worked as Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodyguard. After he came back to Israel he enrolled into a drama school.
When he was 19 a Palestinian Arab stabbed his girlfriend to death with a 15-inch knife in Jerusalem.
That's weird, because there's a lot of dialogue in Arabic there... I've watched one season on Netflix and there definitely were subtitles for Arabic.
So where in Poland, specifically?

Yiddish is spoken by approximately 200,000 Israelis, mostly in Hasidic communities. Hebrew is the official language in Israel and is spoken by majority of the population there. It used to be a dead language, but was, clearly, successfully revived :)
Yes, "Fauda" is very popular, apparently, for example.

Life / Why is women-hatred and stereotyping so popular in Poland? [181]
Alien... ;D
There's this conviction that women are inherently worse at chess than men, but I'm not sure if that's true. I think many factors may be at play here. I mean, I know that there are differences in the brains of women and men that result in them excelling at different things. For example, women are better communicators, they are better at social interactions, at listening and at languages. Men are usually more introverted than women and dominate in IT jobs, for example.
However, it was me and my female cousins that were more into playing chess when we were kids than the boys in our family (in the end only girls ended up playing chess, because boys got bored, I guess). And it is those two female cousins of mine that have more "scientific" minds than men in our family - one works in IT and another one ended up with a PHD in biotechnology and doing scientific stuff.
First of all, there are more male chess players than female chess players and this may simply account for that phenomenon of male chess players being "at the top of the game":
slate.com/technology/2020/12/why-are-the-best-chess-players-men.html
Quote from the article:
"A 2008 study led by psychologist Merim Bilalić points out the logical flaw in citing differences in top rankings as evidence of inherent differences: If one group (female chess players) is much smaller than another (male chess players), then just by chance, one would expect that the best member of the larger group outperforms the best member of the smaller group."
The thing is, there are also many more male chefs working at restaurants than female chefs and I don't think that anyone would claim that women are inherently worse at cooking than men :)))
So why are there less female chefs? I've watched once a documentary about female chefs and one (Western) male chef working at a restaurant in some luxurious hotel in China was asked this question. They asked him whether women are worse at it than men. He said that no - they're great. They're actually better employees than men, because they're more hard-working, diligent and they don't get drunk at work. So they asked him why there are so few female chefs. His answer was: "They get pregnant."
And another quote from the article:
"But in math - a field much like chess in several ways - a fascinating "natural experiment" occurred when Germany split into East and West Germany. The gender gap in math ended up being much smaller in East than West Germany, arguably because the East's radically egalitarian system encouraged girls' self-confidence and competitiveness in math. This demonstrates that gender differences in intellectual performance can be caused by society-level beliefs."
a woman will not sacrifice him because... he is so pretty.

Pawian quoted a black guy from the comments on YouTube who has exactly the same view of that performance as Nick Sinckler does. So, I suspect there are more black people out there who would agree with him too.
By "associating" I meant making friends with such people or supporting their views.
As for our PF racists then I discuss and argue with them and not "associate" myself with them.
As I wrote already - Poland has a different history and different take on this. Whether a Polish TV show will take into account sensibilities from "across the pond" - I don't know, I guess we'll see. I personally think it would be taking it a bit too far and I'd rather have a discussion with black people about this than a total ban on white people performing as black artists.
So a comment from one bod in Poland who earns money from the same TV show makes all the difference then, does it....

I'd say that the effect should depend on the intent.
A black contestant of the show, Nick Sinckler, defends that performance:
"I can see them celebrating greatness that we've introduced into the world. If you can't see a difference between ridiculing/mocking and paying tribute to wonderful black artists whose music influenced the world... then that's your problem, not mine."

There's nothing "inane" about this, considering this is the point of that TV show - impersonating singers.
Why? If a man can impersonate a female singer on that show then why can't a white man impersonate a black singer? Here's that Nick Sinckler that I quoted earlier impersonating a female singer on the show - Libianca:

Yes, exactly, I remember that too :)) There were those TV series from communist times called "Zmiennicy" about a woman pretending to be a man in order to be a taxi driver or something and I remember that there was a "black guy" character there at some point (I remembered it, because it was so unusual). He was supposed to be a foreigner, an American I think, but it was pretty obvious that it was a Polish actor with a make up. I'm guessing that they simply didn't have a black actor speaking Polish with an American accent at that time :) ;))
Whites impersonated blacks coz there weren`t enough original blacks.

I'm guessing that it's because they don't know what this TV show is about. And if they know and still have a problem with it then it must stem from the American issues connected to slavery, racial segregation, etc. Not a Polish problem, imho.
I disagree. There was no I'll intent behind it, so I see no problem.
Perhaps "most places" have more black people that could compete in such a TV show - Poland doesn't. We also have a different history than the US and Western countries - we have no history of colonisation of Africa and enslaving their people. There was also no tradition in Poland of using "blackface" make up to ridicule black people, as far as I am aware.
Also, sorry, but this is hypocrisy - if a black girl can play a role of a white Disney character in a movie in the US ("The Little Mermaid"), then why a Polish guy can't impersonate a black singer in Poland? This is crazy.
Yes, but strictly politically correct people still feel disgusted.

She's 14.
Holy sh1t... I thought she's much younger than this... You don't have much time left of her being a kid then... Use this time well...
I shall, therefore, reduce my working hours (a little!) and spend more time with my family.
That's amazing, I'm happy for your family, especially for the kids :)))
P.S. I'm still not doing any cooking. That's not even negotiable.
You wouldn't have time for that with those working hours anyway :P Better focus on your kids...

How about both spouses work 1 job each and share chores and raise kids.
Why men don't want to do them then? lol
You would say that, because you have no idea what you're talking about.
So, what would you rather work 2 jobs and bring in a lot of money into your hosehold or have your hubby do all the chores and rise kids or the other way around.

Home chores are not that hard.

As a role model and quality time is more importand than the lenght of that time, I would say he is doing all right

I never wrote whether I like it or not. And every country usually has its pluses and minuses.
You think that now... What about your kids? Wouldn't your daughter be more happy if she got to spend more time with you rather than go to a private school? The girl's relationship with her father is very important for her future relationships with men (and not only) and her self-esteem. We'll see how your kids will fare in the future, I guess...
First and foremost I don't need to have a family of my own to know what it's like to be a kid and how important a relationship with their father is for kids, especially for girls. I'm saying this from my own experience.
And I'm not saying this to put you down, Kania. It's just I'm not sure if you realise how important you are for your children...
I just don't want you to screw it up.
What? You don't like Japan anymore??? lol

My family is quite happy, thank you. :)

No, I am not :(
So f*cking sad...
Yeah, and their kids seem so happy, right... Not suicidal at all... lol
Now you are being dramatic.
No, I am not :(
A man has to do what a man has to do, a woman has to do what a woman has to do. Old school.
So f*cking sad...
How much time do you think Japanese fathers spend with their kids when they are very young
Yeah, and their kids seem so happy, right... Not suicidal at all... lol
