Sometimes when I read old threads I start feeling sorry for myself for missing out on the Golden Years of PF. At the same time, back then there was no Novichok. The appearance of Novichok, aka Rich Mazur, was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day. Immediately it became clear that this kind of razor sharp logic and powers of deduction are without precedent on the server.

Also, those veterans that stayed have fermented and matured, like the famed canned suckers that JR consumes in his hut. Pawian of 2014 vintage, is not the same as 2022 Pawian. His wit is more ascerbic, his gardening knowledge more perfected.

To be fair, when I was sixteen I also marveled at how anyone past 60 was able to continue interacting with technology. Now I recognize how utterly insulting this should have been to my grandparents that built all the infrastructure on which my life was based.


Jesus, get a clue - Novichok is 76. Honestly, you are embarrassing me. Velund and I have worked very hard to get to the point where we are now - where all people on the forum respect Russia and the views of Russians. I'm afraid your thoughtless posts can erase years of labor. Please check yourself before you wreck yourself.

History / Current Polish-Russian relations.. What do the Poles think? [60]


There is a quote from some Greek, regarding the Romans: "Conquered, we conquer." It was in regards to how the Greeks, despite being militarily subjugated, conquered the Romans through culture.

How do you know, then, that merging with Russia would not forever change the fabric of Poland? Russians are not as small as Lithuanians which you can systematically sideline and dilute. It would effect changes in your society that would have made it unrecognizable to you. Poland, with all its idiosyncrasies, is a product of history and geography as any nation is. Including Russia. Your freedoms and our autocracy have reasons behind them. Could Poland control such a territory while keeping in place the highly decentralized form of government you poets enjoy so much? Perhaps an absolutist autocracy is the only way dozens of peoples can be kept in check, without everything descending into a bloodbath regularly?

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]

@Crow

I would like to think that the reason Serbs are pro-Russian in their orientation is because they haven't forgotten about a little thing called loyalty. Serbs don't have to go far back in history to see that Russia supports its friends.

This admirable behavior stands in stark contrast to that of some other characters, like Germany or Greece, for example. Germany repays a once in a lifetime gift of national reunification by taking an absolutely one-sided stance in the current conflict in favor of Ukraine (neutrality would have been nice, nobody expects support). Greece owes its entire existence to a Russian foreign minister of Greek origin, and the blood of thousands of Russian volunteers - yet it also succumbs to Western pressure (perhaps it's the recent experience of bankruptcy that makes them so pliable). This cannot but leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Bloody Felix to some, Iron Felix to others. His parents named him " Feliks Szczęsny", due to the fortuitous circumstances surrounding his birth. His mother had a bad fall, but survived and carried the baby to term.

Plus, why is he Bloody to Poles if he could not even reach them? You were, by that time, under the reliable protection of the first marszalik (who studied at same school).

If one practices a trading strategy of "buy high, sell low", the amount of time you can spend engaged in this activity is finite.

I remember there was an octopus, some years ago, that could predict the result of World Cup matches. Some bookmaker actually purchased him afterwards.

Perhaps Johnny is a sort of anti-octopus. If you short every stock he picks, you come out winning.

Who can recognize this famous Polish hipster?

Born in same area, and nearly same time as Pilsudski. But unlike Pilsudski, who called himself a Litvin in his youth, this man was Polish to the core growing up. Apparently, his dream as a child was to "own an invisibility cap, and kill all Moskals".

@Pleuvoir

When going from Russian or Ukrainian to English the only way you get a Charles is if you work with a Karl to begin with. Maybe some friendly person, perhaps a German, heard your Grandpa say in a heavily accented way that he is Kiril, and was asked to spell it, and that person decided - "oh this is like German Karl, so then you are a Charles".

The reason I spelled Makaryuk as I did was just through muscle memory, because I was trying to spell the letter Ю using Latin letters, which is"yu". That is, in Russian it would be spelled Макарюк.

Finally, don't be misled by Russian Orthodox vs Ukrainian Orthodox, etc. There was no Ukrainian Orthodox Church until 2018. It was quite a big deal actually, covered all over the news. The Greek Catholics existed, and in large numbers, but mostly in a part which did not yet belong to Russia then. So any Orthodox person from the former Soviet Union with the exception of Georgia (which has its own ancient church) and Armenia (different type of Orthodox) would be Russian Orthodox.

Makaryuks and Savchuks are 100% Ukrainian. How Kiril can become Charles? Strange indeed. Kirill is the Russian version of the name Cyril. To become a Charles, you would first need to be a Karl. The distance between Kirill and Karl is just a few letters. So maybe in the pre-Google days your grandpa just figured that anglicized Kirill is Charles, because someone who advised him thought his name was Karl?

Finally, if his name was in fact Karl, and not Kiril, then it is a very rare name for a Russian or a Ukrainian. Kirill, on the other hand, is very common.
