History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

Wearing jeans when going shopping or to the park is "revolting" to you??

Changing your story as you go along I see.

I haven't noticed such a problem where I live.

Really? Where do YOU live, Paulina?

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

if women there dress in a "revolting" way? lol

It was you and your female cohort who made your admissions:

I love jeans and trainers...my physical freedom is important to me.

It's not that I "love" them, but I simply can't imagine my life without them :)

This is such a problem that even HR departments try to address it as tactfully as they can knowing that it is women who are ALWAYS the absolute worst offenders:

The Difficult Conversation about Inappropriate Attire

Consider clothing which is unacceptable by virtue of:

- Place and time such as wearing yoga pants or gym gear to a job not in a gym, wearing an cocktail dress to a manufacturing facility, or wearing jeans and tank top when in the office,

- Lack of fit (which can be when clothing hangs off the body or when the body hangs out of the clothes).

- Style and organizational culture including: Too revealing, think low tops, high slits, short skirts or shorts, backless or strapless tops, sheer, undergarments or lack thereof showing, etc.,


lovehr.ca/2019/10/the-difficult-conversation-about-inappropriate-attire/

Have you ever worked in a 21st century office environment which tried to formally publish and enforce a dress code? No, clearly you haven't.

The backlash is ALWAYS from women. A-L-W-A-Y-S.

It is immediate and intense too with shrilly outrage over even the mere thought of having them conform to any dress standard which is considerate of other people.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

one cannot help but wonder what went wrong

Clothes were used to signify social status. The better you dressed meant you didn't need to do manual labor.

Working class people used to dress up as best they could and when they could for aspirational reasons.

Then socialism and communism came along to eliminate social distinctions. No one wanted to be targeted by appearing to be rich (or richer than they actually were) so they dressed down.

The advent of cars. It meant the end of hats and long warm dresses.

What a ridiculous answer!

You can thank feminism, sexual liberation for women and ultimately "SlutWalks" for the pathetic and even revolting way women "dress" in public today.

Women also used to stay at home and knew how to make and mend their own clothing. You can forget that skill ever coming back.

Women also dress trashy in the workplace because they know they lack other skills so it is the only trick that still works in getting advanced especially with Boomer managers deciding who will get promoted.

Women are still the largest segment when it comes to buying and following fashion trends. They are happy to spend what little money they have to wear something for one season (if that) and have it all end up in a landfill.

No, there isn`t. You are lying as usual.

Like a true ex-communist and blindly loyal Tusktard you are instinctively self-censoring. :)



You need to find the courage to be brave.

In case Tusk is abusing his authority and personally blocking this particular YouTube channel in Poland then do what dissidents do under any tyrannical regime and use a VPN or cross over the border to a neighboring country where it isn't being blocked.

Here are the links to the videos.

Share them with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers and fellow dissidents and repost them before Tusk has the channel terminated.

Be the voice of freedom! Be the resistance! :)

News / Ups and downs of the democratic government 2023-2027 in Poland [342]

Who can ensure Honourable Saviour Donald Tusk will remain the PM till the next elections???

Putin! Fact!

The Russians literally refer to your personal lord and savior as "Nasz człowiek w Warszawie!"

There is an entire YouTube channel showing over five hours of a damning documentary investigation.

youtube.com/@OurManInWarsaw

Russian diplomatic cables testify that Moscow actively courted Tusk and gave him much more favorable treatment compared to Kaczynski.

I even noticed this disturbing pattern of Tusk always meeting, smiling and shaking hands with Putin and called it out!

https://polishforums.com/news/lithuanian-diplomatic-war-last-47397/18/#msg1960336

Not only that but the investigative reporting also alleges that Russians were not only taking advantage of the turmoil between Tusk and Kaczynski but Tusk knew they were and went along with it!



(Notice how the true Pole glides confidently and defiantly in front of the stone-faced, Poland-hating tyrants sitting side-by-side,)

Tusk even publicly thanked the Russians for their support by taking a very different stance towards them than Kaczynski did.

In his own words:



And never once was this even mentioned by any Tusktards on PF! Not even to refute it! But they can't refute it so they hope by ignoring it that it will go away. But it won't!

In fact, Tusk and his toadies desperately tried to go through the courts to have the media investigative report yanked off of YouTube!

And this shocking move at Sovietesque censorship came from a smirking pygmy of a Prime Minister who had the gall to dismiss Poland as being "mediocre" but abundant in "freedom"

Life / Polish church music versus African-American gospel [29]

Polish church is BORING!!!

There is no Polish church.

If the abrahamic god actually existed then no place of worship would be boring and you wouldn't need humans to put on a show to make it exciting.

That is why so many youths don't want to go there.

It's simply a case of demographics. There are fewer young people. They are outnumbered by older generations who have a lot more time, money and fear of death to keep them in the pews.



African Americans like going to church

No they don't.

Black Americans See the Biggest Shift Away from Faith

christianitytoday.com/news/2022/february/black-american-nones-faith-unaffiliation-nothing.html

If they do then increasingly it isn't christian.

Black Muslims account for a fifth of all U.S. Muslims, and about half are converts to Islam

pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/01/17/black-muslims-account-for-a-fifth-of-all-u-s-muslims-and-about-half-are-converts-to-islam/

these ppl are fun.

They have a routine: Saturday night sinners and then Sunday morning saints.

No wonder more and more younger wankers leave church and even if parents force them to go , once they turn 18 they show it the finger and rebel against it.

The women mostly return when they are older hoping to find a husband or when they are really old to make sure they can get a funeral and proper burial.

At that point you aren't going to see and hear entertaining services. It is just a bunch of hags who were male-hating feminists for most of their lives now shrilling praise to a male god figure. If the spectacle of that isn't entertaining enough for you then nothing will.

The problem is that there is a threat of abuses of power with every government. Anyone thinking these restrictions are not being studied by goverments for the future needs to get some new glasses.

The normal pattern of development in older and more developed societies

Were a complex network of roads (built and maintained by men of course) crisscrossing a continent to connect urban centers (built and maintained by men of course) for commerce with villages (built and maintained by men of course) spring up along the way to accommodate travelers.



each of which maintains its individual character, services and amenities.

And yet you abandoned the individual character, services and amenities in Ireland just to remain a mere housewife 2,240 kilometers away in Poland.

Here is a meme of you posting on PF:



There is a difference between stopping people's movement and making sure they have what they need close by (but still not limiting them if they want to go further.

You think billions if not trillions are going to be spent creating 15-minute cities under the guise of personal convenience while still maintaining the choice to go wherever you want and whenever you want.

You are wrong.

15-minute city planners and advocates don't want people using cars to get around because they claim it is suddenly bad for the environment. It won't end there. If you have everything you need locally for food, shelter and clothing then there won't ever be a sufficient justification for you to venture beyond 15-minutes.

Enjoy your corral. They used to be called ghettos.

the winner will be from the same party as the government; a good thing right now.

The election is one year from now.

There is already voters' regret with Tusk.

It's only going to get worse as time goes on and this always favors the leading opposition party.

something nothing whatsoever to do with you

Keep dreaming but keep it to yourself. You have no choice anyway since no one in Poland understands you in any language.

You are in quite the conundrum actually. Poles ignore you because they can't understand you and if they did they would still ignore you once they realized what sort of character you really are.

your assessment of the language skills of people you've never met.

Pawian put paid to your boastfulness before I even posted. Has he met you to do any formal assessment? No.

Like I said, you suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect. Doubling down that you don't won't change that and you know it.

Besides your decade-long posting on PF (often between 10 and 20 hours each day) and current record of over twenty thousand posts is all the proof needed that Poles don't understand your Polish and won't accommodate you by speaking English. So you take refuge on PF.

By the way, did you ever get your O-level in English? Poles probably don't understand your English either. You are from Leeds after all.

Given that he only missed being elected by a tiny margin, I'd say that millions outside Warsaw related to him.

the mayor of Warsaw...ran for presidency in 2019 and lost it to PIS candidate.

That's because Poles outside of Warsaw can't relate to him.

Whenever I see and hear Sikorski, I get depressive feelings.

Imagine how he feels having to wake up next to this face each day? And that's without the makeup on! :)



Trzaskowski...is the best of all.

He has taught English and that is why you are biased in favor of him.

He may inspire you that there is life beyond teaching but that is not a reason to vote for him. By the way, Tusk already paid off you teachers for your votes so you shouldn't expect that gravy train to go on forever by voting for Trzaskowski.

I'm fluent in Polish.



This is the condition you are suffering from: The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs when a person's lack of knowledge and skill in a certain area causes them to overestimate their own competence.

Tusk who never sold visas to migrants like PiS did

Better for there to be orderly and legal migration along with fees to help cover the costs and visas with expiration dates than for there to be out of control illegal immigration with spiraling welfare costs in the billions and no way to ever get rid of them.

doing his best to protect the border.

Closing it off to Ukrainians and Belarusians in the East and opening the flood gates in the West to every unskilled welfare recipient coming in from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Germany reportedly requested the most returns

applications to send

But did Poland agree to these requests and accept the applications?

Requests and applications by Germany two years ago asking Poland to accept these migrants is a very different story from today where Germany is now physically dumping migrants in Poland and Tusk is working as a hotelier to accommodate them.

And carried out by Tusk!

Why should they lie? It's not like Tusk is going to kick them out. Tusk is going to take good care of them in Poland and then send the bill to Tusktards like you who voted for him! :)

Hey, stupid Poles...

The Germans were smart to wait until after Tusk was installed. If they tried dumping migrants before the last election then PiS would have won again.

Tusk is already doing better - for the Germans.

Germany Has Begun Dumping Migrants In Poland

"...migrants are being handed over to Polish border guards by German officers and are then transferred to hostels in bordering areas...many of the migrants have told staff that they arrived in Germany from the Netherlands, Austria and other countries, rather than via Poland. Germany makes no secret of its hope that the migration pact will enable it to reduce the number of migrants on its territory."

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [90]

Polish bread is also chałka - it takes its origin from Jewish ritual bread called chala.

Manna from heaven.

Thank goodness for the Jews. If it weren't for their arrival in Poland, Poles would still be eating grass.



Anyway, here is a much better and more interesting origin story:

Poland's Daily Bread

Polish folk culture celebrates bread and grains in a very special manner. Its roots can be traced back to the old Slavic beliefs, which have become mixed with Christianity over the centuries.

Priests don't "take over" parishes.

Of course they do. To take over means to become responsible for a task in succession to another even if assigned to it by someone else.

But then again you are British so no one would expect you to understand how expressions are used in English.

Anyway, like the infrastructure throughout the Western world which went neglected for decades thanks to the self-absorbed Boomers who were left in charge of things, the traditions in Catholic Churches also went neglected or changed for no other reason than to satisfy Boomer vanity.

We are talking about Polish people.

Yes, overwhelming Roman Catholic followed by Orthodox.

Germans were less likely to have to flip flop according to their landowners.

There you go again. Spinning falsehoods because you don't know what you are talking about, were called out on it, and now you are trying to save face.

Poles were never compelled to become protestants because those who owned the land were.

At best there were enough Polish nobles in the late 1500s in the Sejm who were protestant and they pushed through the Warsaw Confederation which ensured freedom of religion in Poland and Lithuania. It never worked in their favor anyway.

The liturgical changes that occurred post-Vatican II were not the intention of Vatican II.

But the changes made were intentional and brought about the Hippie Generation of priests taking over parishes and moving up the clerical ranks.

The document on liturgy even states that the organ is to be the prime instrument

It didn't matter. The Boomers were never interested in maintaining traditions but hoped to replace them with their own.
