USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


Ciri and Renfri don't look "anorexic" in those TV series.


My sentiments exactly.

@Novichok, I don't know what they looked like, but my grandma is has been always very slim and she chopped wood all her life. If you can chop wood, you can chop people too, I guess.

But women fighting with swords against men isn't something that never happened in the history of mankind :):

rp.pl/archeologia/art10205051-kobiety-tez-walczyly-w-szeregach-wikingow

And already ancient Greeks were creating stories and myths about warrior women - the Amazons:

national-geographic.pl/artykul/amazonki-legendarne-wojowniczki-mitologii-greckiej-czy-istnialy-naprawde

Those stories were based in reality (a quote from the article):

"Around 450 BC Herodotus and other writers described Scythian women fighting on horses next to men"

@Novichok, how are stories like this anti-women? lol This is a fantasy story where there are all kinds of creatures that don't exist in the real world and where people do magic. Are those stories anti-men, because men can't do magic in the real world? Men are smart enough to know that they are simply not capable of making magic lol


Noone fights with swords these days anymore lol These days we have guns. Guns are quite an equaliser - even kids can use them. And women can use guns as well as men. So get over yourself and stop worrying so much about fantasy stories that are supposed to be entertaining. If you were to write novels they would be terribly boring and... very short, I imagine lol

Well, Ciri was trained by witchers in Kaer Morhen, you know. That could give her some advantage in comparison to an average teenage girl, I suppose :)

Ciri's sword was a gwyhyr made by gnomes. It's blade was very light :):

@Novichok, more popular among people like Strzelec35 maybe. Ciri in the books was 16 years old, you sick f*ck.

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


You're both disgusting and an idiot. Ciri wasn't an ordinary girl. Everyone and their mother was after her. She had to know how to defend herself.

It's like you, let us say, sending you granddaughter to krav maga classes.

Anyway, Ciri was one of very few females that I recall fighting with a sword in "The Witcher" books, I think. Another was, for example, Renfri, but she wasn't an ordinary woman either:

No, it isn't.

@Novichok, you can't use poison if someone is coming at you with a sword lol


"The Witcher" is a type of fantasy story with the world based on stuff from Middle Ages, Renaissance, etc. AR-15 wouldn't fit in such a world. Swords do.

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


But in the books Ciri is fighting with a sword. So what were they supposed to make her fight with in the TV series? With a broom? lol

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


You didn't read "The Witcher" saga, did you lol


Well, in "The Witcher" books they kill them with spells and swords, etc. :D

Relax, Novichok, it's just a fantasy story ;D

I didn't watch the whole 3rd season yet, but it looks like they're going to turn Jaskier into a bisexual...

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


Yup, I agree.


lol
Thanks to your comment I just had an epiphany why that review site Rotten Tomatoes is called like that ;D

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


Well, you know, there are changes and there CHANGES... :) I'm a Tolkien fan and even though they made some changes in the movie trilogy they were minor enough and they didn't mess up the plot and the characters. I loved the movie. Netflix's "The Witcher" is a different matter entirely... Also, LOTR movie was great, some even say it's a fantasy masterpiece... You can't say that about "The Witcher", unfortunately...

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


o_O

I see you don't understand... Tomek Bagiński, the Polish producer, is one of the people responsible for those changes, for that "bastardisation" of "The Witcher". He claims that deviating from the books was necessary. He is being heavily criticised by Poles, especially by Polish fans of "The Witcher" saga.

Didn't you read the article?

Who?


I know that...


Aaand... how did you draw this conclusion exactly?? o_O

@pawian, I didn't write that you participated in our discussion (I noticed that you didn't). I wrote that you posted in that thread in the middle of our discussion, because you claimed that you "didn't look there".

@Lyzko, I'm honestly happy to see that you're capable of apologising and admitting that you were wrong. Respect.


You did and you posted there in the middle of our discussion:

Po polsku / Gdzie kupić sztukę? [6]

@amiga500, szczerze mówiąc nie orientuję się żeby była w Polsce jedna taka platforma jak etsy.com, która wszystko naraz sprzedaje. Polscy artyści często sprzedają właśnie na zagranicznych stronach, takich jak etsy, redbubble, society6, itd.

Jest niby polska wersja etsy:

etsy.com/pl/

...ale jest nowa i ma złe recenzje (i sprzedają tam głównie zagraniczni artyści):

mycompanypolska.pl/artykul/czy-etsy-polska-odniesie-sukces/6299

Artyści sprzedają też na allegro, ale trochę ciężko jest tam coś znaleźć, a przez tą całą rewolucję ze Sztuczną Inteligencją (AI), każdy może sobie wygenerować grafiki w kilka sekund albo kilka minut, produkować je na masową skalę i potem tacy "artyści" sprzedają to na potęgę na kubkach, koszulkach, itd. po normalnych cenach po jakich sprzedawaliby prawdziwi artyści albo nawet zawyżonych.

Na przykład tutaj jestem pewna na 100%, że ta grafika została wygenerowana przez AI, a sprzedający chce za nią 129,99 zł (i to jeszcze jest niby promocja z 259,99 zł! ;D)

mrgugu.com/pl/product/t-shirt-bubble-gum-skull

Zdzierstwo! lol 🤦

Polscy artyści i rzemieślnicy często też sami sprzedają swoje wyroby (trzeba po prostu "śledzić" ich na mediach społecznościowych), albo na różnych stronach internetowych dedykowanych rękodziełu albo przeznaczonych np. tylko do sprzedawania obrazów.

Jest taka dobra strona z rękodziełem, która już od dość dawna funkcjonuje na polskim rynku:

pakamera.pl

Są tam różne rzeczy, od biżuterii po ręcznie robione meble, koszulki też są:

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

@pawian, my immortal, unbeatable, super granny has only grown potatos, wheat and strawberries in the field, as far as I can remember, so I don't have any ideas anymore :)) ;)


The only thing that came to my mind was digging out potatos with the use of a hoe - the hoe hitting the ground makes a sort of blunt noise... Not sure about "hollow" though...

@pawian, I have no idea then :)

Digging out potatos?

Love / I am going to poland to meet my boyfriend's family and friends and need some advice [8]


I'd say this is rather reserved for family and close friends, so I'd probably wait with that if I were you - Poland is not France :)) You could try to give his family members a hug though, I guess. In case of friends I'd just give them a handshake - I'd say this is a safe choice for a first meeting (unless they're huggy people, then they'll hug you first).

Poles are often pretty reserved people, we aren't very expressive, at least in comparison to Latin people, but they get warmer once they get to know you.


Your boyfriend is going to be your host, so it's on him to organise everything and make sure you'll have a good time with his friends, imho. Just talk to him about what you'd like to do.


That's nice, Poles like it when foreigners know something about their country or at least show interest - I'm sure you'll score points with that :)

As for his mother - a way to win her over could be eating whatever she gives you to eat and say how tasty everything is lol ;)

As for language barrier - just ask your boyfriend to translate for you and maybe you could use Google Translate or some app.

Don't worry, Poles know how difficult their language is ;D

Sorry, but what was "nasty" about that?

I don't think I've ever heard of that before. What are your sources for that info?
Here's an interview with a Hungarian historian about Polish response to Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and he doesn't mention what you wrote about:

Because you were right about that, so I didn't have to correct you.


Eh? You do realise that they teach history at Polish schools, right? o_O


Sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Life / The Pole is happy when someone else cries... [75]


What a load of bullsh1t. Don't you know your own history? You don't get to have a country as big as RuSSia by being "docile" o_O


Why Chechens?


Bobko, I think you should learn by now that Poles know the history of their country better than you do lol Polish army didn't participate in quenching the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. It's you who should educate yourself.

Life / Are Polish Women very promiscuous towards foreigners and refugees? [197]

@Novichok, for me it would be enough (to at least question my knowledge about that period) if Lyzko posted a link to an article in a reputable newspaper, if he quoted excerpts from a book written by a serious, renowned historian, if he gave us a title of a documentary made by a reputable TV station.

Even if Lyzko answered my 4 questions right away at least that would make him more trustworthy in my eyes. But he didn't. He didn't answer them repeatedly.


Why do you claim then that Lyzko is being "smart" by not answering some basic questions? You don't know if he's being smart or a liar or someone who exaggarated and is too much of a coward to admit that he was wrong.
