Is that the lingering German-speaking (aka Yiddish) Italian converts variety?

Ashkenazi Jewish women descended mostly from Italian converts, new study asserts

Another twist in the findings: Jewish women may have been assimilated in Europe as far back as 2,000 years ago-earlier than most other studies have projected. The researchers believe the DNA could trace back to the early Roman Empire, when as much as 10 percent of the population practiced Judaism, many of them converts.

Overall, at least 80 percent of Ashkenazi maternal ancestry comes from women indigenous to Europe while 8 percent originated in the Near East, with the rest uncertain.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [177]


Yes, that's definitely an option for women. Has been for centuries.


Many women already do that too and have done so since the dawn of humanity.


There is no stigma for women in giving up their children. Only regret that they gave up a future meal ticket once the father/husband dies or is no longer legally required to provide financial support.


Great and the responsibility will be for the woman to identify him because women always know who the actual father is.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [177]


Indeed, 40 weeks of a full-term pregnancy and 12 to 24 hours of labor is a vacation when compared to the actual burden of child support lasting years and even into decades.

Don't compare maternity with paternity either. After all, maternity is a matter of fact whereas paternity is a matter of opinion!


Let's sweeten the deal and require a paternity test before any man is ordered to pay child support.


What are the chances that your dad isn't your father?

"Interweaving strands of evolutionary research suggests that paternity confidence forms part of the glue bonding men to their children and to the women who bore them. Undermine that confidence and men invest less readily in the subsistence and safety of their families, and become more likely to abscond."

They fake it for the paycheck.

That's why publicly they are all for open borders and for defunding the police but will be the first ones to find a majority white neighborhood, install fences and security systems, and instinctively call the police for help the moment a non-white knocks on their door.

The conditioning for compliance starts early too. I've heard since forever that students will always complete their assignments to quack back the leftist dogma of their teachers. Not because they believe it but because they know they will be given failing grades if they don't.

Leftism amongst "teachers" is a serious problem worldwide. You are proof of that! :)


100% of those who work at places which offer a health benefits package in addition to salary! :)


Then they should work at a place which offers a health benefits package in addition to salary! That or they shouldn't get sick! :)


It's not uncommon. Look up medical treatments in the United States for the Dalai Lama, Saudi royalty, African presidents, etc.


Like the American "teacher" you admire who is singing praise for Poland's health care system.

Here's another perspective:

If You Thought U.S. Healthcare Was Bad, Try Poland's Universal Healthcare

Mostly, the complaints are directed at the outrageous costs and the slippery, backstabbing nature of insurance companies. But rarely do [Americans] complain about the quality of [their] healthcare. It is among the best -- if not the best -- in the world. Americans take it for granted.

Poland, the eighth-largest economy in the European Union, ranked 32nd of 35 countries in the 2018 Euro Health Consumer Index, which compares European health care systems based on accessibility and wait times, patient rights, and health outcomes. Poland also has just 238 physicians per 100,000 inhabitants-the lowest ratio in the EU.

Polish doctors are overworked and underpaid, which is why there is a shortage of specialists in the country.(The shortage is particularly acute for pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and surgeons.) Many doctors leave for other EU countries. Some of those who stay behind will accept payments under the table in exchange for faster, better treatment. This former socialist nation is now capitalist, after all.

acsh.org/news/2020/06/02/if-you-thought-us-healthcare-was-bad-try-polands-universal-healthcare-14828

There is a lot of sugarcoating in the following article but basically the US Army had to take the lead in integrating Poland's medical practices and procedures and bring them up to 21st century standards because they were incoherent, ineffective and inefficient.

U.S. Army Expands Medical Interoperability with Polish Allies

Interoperability is key to U.S. Army Europe and Africa's vision. This MOA marks a significant milestone in combat medicine training and supports continuous interoperability with Polish allies. The resulting training opportunities will enable U.S. and Polish forces to routinely act together coherently, effectively, and efficiently to achieve tactical, operational, and strategic objectives in support of maneuver operations.

And expense elsewhere in Europe too. He admitted this in the interview.

MG: Why Poland?

TH: Actually, it was by accident. I was wondering where to go where it was relatively cheap, but I also wanted the country to be properly developed. I wanted to change my life, change my environment, I needed something new and fresh. I had some savings and I wanted them to last as long as possible before I settled somewhere permanently and started earning money there. So, after properly understanding European realities, we chose Poland.

He had savings (obviously from his time in America) and settled for Poland because it was still cheap.

MG: Was it a good choice?

TH: Perfect and I have never regretted it. Poland met all my expectations and even exceeded them. When I came to your country, I only worked online, teaching English on various platforms. It was a job with not very stable income - sometimes it was better, sometimes worse, depending on the number of clients. However, it was enough to settle and support themselves in Poland.

Like any teacher he is ultimately a slacker.

He doesn't have the talent or motivation to work a full-time job (and contribute meaningfully and financial to others) yet he has very high expectations of what society should be doing for him.

In other words he is a leftist who is originally from Colorado (a leftist state) and then New York (even further left).


Why is he comparing Poland to New York? And is it New York state or New York City (there is a big difference)?

Here are closer comparisons for where he has lived before:

- California and New York costs are most similar to Denmark. The median cost of living in the second- and third-most expensive states in the U.S. is $3,155 and $3,126, respectively. That's only slightly less than the $3,176 that's needed to get by in Denmark.

- Colorado and New Jersey have similar costs to the U.K. The median cost of living in the U.K. ($2,827) is comparable to both Colorado and New Jersey, where a single person with no kids spends $2,843 and $2,798 per month, respectively.

ktvz.com/stacker-news/2023/11/29/how-does-the-cost-of-living-in-each-us-state-compare-to-the-nations-of-europe/


If Americans wanted a universal (aka single payer aka national) health care system they would have voted for it. They don't.

Americans have a very low opinion of their government's ability to deliver quality services and prefer to get their health care coverage through the companies they work for (this includes many unions who use it to bargain with their employers).

This American carpetbagger is also not acknowledging that the wealthy and even the heads of state of other countries with national health services often go to the United States to get treatment and leave the long lines and poor quality to the lumpen proletariat back home.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


You're wrong.


Those men are submissive and don't question their wives about what they are buying, why so much of it and how much money they are burning away.

Instead, they keep quite just to have some peace.


It's not about remembering every outfit and accessory.

Obviously as a woman you lack the visual acuity of men.

Men notice patterns and changes to them better than women.

That's why men are better not only at hunting but navigating, medicine, anthropology, engineering, solving puzzles, etc.

When you notice something is forever changing its appearance that's what's called paying attention.


And right on cue starts the shaming language in a desperate attempt to try to win the argument. I would say you instantly failed with that obvious ploy but you lost the moment you decided to start posting in this thread because you don't know what you are talking about and are taking this conversation in endless circles hoping something will pan out in your favor. It won't.

Remember it was a story from millennia ago which said paradise was lost because of a woman.

That story may have been a fable but look at the sorry state of it today in the feminist world.


No it wasn't. It was about any workplace found throughout the feminist West.

There are Americans living in Poland. Some even post on here and have no Polish heritage.

Polish immigration to America didn't stop in the 20th century either nor do Poles in the 21st century only go to other EU countries to study, work and settle.

Whatever upbringing you had that taught you about the world in your provincial corner of Poland simply doesn't reflect reality (past or present).

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


It's evolutionary.

Men are better than women at spotting fine details and rapid movement. Some theorize that this difference has its roots in the hunter-gatherer days when men did most of the hunting and women did most of the foraging.


You mean moth-worn because you waited too long. That's okay, women are known for their procrastination but it always comes at a cost.


I don't need to. They wear them once. Whether they toss them out that day or have collapsing closets full of stuff they only worn once is their business.

The point is they are not frugal when it comes to showing off and don't care about the impact it has on the environment, their own purse or the wallets of the men who put up with them.


How do you know where they shop? Do these foreign men stalk them and report back to you? Do you stalk them and take notes yourself?


They usually don't though.

Read my early posts in this thread about this problem and how women react negatively in public and the workplace when anyone tries to point this out to them.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


I don't know. It sounds very unsanitary.


Like I said they always wear something once. This isn't an exaggeration either.

You admitted you hold onto clothes for a special occasion which will never come. Even you will then throw them away when they become too dated, too moth-worn or too small to fit into any more.

Still, the clothes get thrown away.

Whether the Polish women I know do it in the the same year or stuff them away in a closet and thrown out in another year it doesn't matter.


They are the ones vying for attention by always wearing something different. And like I said, they always look in stark contrast to how dressed down their husbands and boyfriends are or they look completely out of their league when you know they live with their parents or in a tiny, cheap apartment.

Maybe, just maybe, you are a woman because you are clearly very bothered when a man like me comes along and points out your obvious and laughable behavior to you.

It's the current year though so quit squirming over your angst of having female behavior noticed and explained to you.

I thought leftists like yourself love to deconstruct things. Obviously you don't when you are the subject of it. :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


LOL! If only you knew the social circles I move in! :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


I know many Polish women both personally and professionally. But wasn't there a comment made on here recently by a different poster saying they believed you were actually a man posting as a woman? :)

Anyway, at every meeting, at every event (formal and informal) with them each one always wears a different outfit each time. This is without exception and I've known them for years and some for over a decade!

Nothing is worn twice or mixed and matched. Nothing.

This includes the accessories.

And each one obviously has a shoe collection that could give the legendary Imelda Marcos a run for her money.

Where do they get the money though? If they have husbands or boyfriends the telltale sign is that their male significant others always drive beat-up cars and dress very shabbily. It is the men in their lives who get the most mileage out of their own clothes.

If they don't have a man in their life to pay for their expensive lifestyle then they live with their parents or alone in a low rent apartment in some sketchy neighborhood.


Yes, they are known to have a fashion sense closer to most men than women. From butch haircuts, to a preference for jeans, to comfortable footwear that is always too informal and out of place for any social gathering. Based on your posts you seem to have a lot more in common with them than the typical Polish women I know.

Welcome back!

Everyone thought you fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital after learning from the exposé videos that Tusk is a Putin puppet after all - just as I've pointed out before on PF! :)


I never said they were made by Russians. It is a Polish investigative report on Tusk's collusion with the Russians to get favorable treatment, how in return he took a very friendly stance towards Russia, and then his attempt to use the courts to censor the videos which exposed his true allegiance.

Previously I thought Tusk was only loyal to Brussels. But now I see he is also loyal to Moscow.

Does that mean Tusk has divided loyalties? No, because in one of the episodes Kaczynski points out correctly that Russia already has deep influence over the EU.


Nope you are the boldfaced liar! :)

I said there is an entire YouTube channel dedicated to exposing Tusk's collusion and you literally said there wasn't.

Torq confirmed the channel was real and so you were exposed for lying to protect Putin's puppet! :)

Do you get a commission on top of your 28.57% payoff each time you lie for Tusk? :)

How much do you think Tusk is getting paid by Brussels and Moscow to do their bidding? :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Right and then you said you wear that for shopping and to the park. That's why I called you out for changing your story.


You have to guess because you don't know. Women always have closets full of clothing worn once (if that) because they are slaves to fashion trends. I pointed this out earlier and the harmful impact it is having on the environment. You said you didn't care because at least someone is making money off of it.


You know what I am talking about and you should realize by now that the female game of playing dumb in order to gaslight doesn't work anymore.

Seriously, it is so obvious that is comical.




You need to work in a real office that is busy and with heterosexual men and women working there. Not some hideaway back office operation managed by a butch lesbian.


The world is my domain with Poland at the center. :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Nope, but I would never expect you (a woman) to be honest in a conversation. You lost the argument and that's why you needed to change the setting of when you dress inappropriately to make it sound appropriate even though earlier you said casual clothes was all about your freedom and you couldn't live without them.


Where did they get those clothes from? Obviously there is a demand for them.

Granted women will wear something once and throw it away but don't tell me revealing clothing like that is limited to private bedrooms and street protests.

Woman will wear elements of that at work and make sure to reveal it to key males they want to manipulate for sex and/or promotion. It happens all the time. But your earlier description of your workplace sounds like it is run by a lesbian so it is highly unlikely any men ever worked there and so weren't confronted with the inherent problems female coworkers bring to the work place.


After you, women first! :)


Indeed, and then she would be the first one to complain that she can't find any men to date, marry and provide for her.

She looks oblivious that her appearance and attitude are completely off-putting. But then again maybe she isn't and is angry because she knows at her age she could never turn things around and hopes to poison the minds of young women as a way to get back at men.

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



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]


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.


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.

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.

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!
