Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]

Hint for both riddles - just like delph, I'm predictable ;)

Hint for Riddle 1: this building isn't new - it was built by the Nazis during occupation. Back then it was a research and testing centre. What do you think they were researching and testing over there?

Nowadays this building is used as something else though. What is it now?

As for the cap riddle - if you don't know the answer yet, then you can start with identifying what's on the cap. Do you recognise anything? Any symbol?

Oh for God's sake... I didn't write that aggression shouldn't be resisted, I was just explaining what are the reasons for it.

I see that you guys are getting into some kind of frenzy because of this border crisis, to such a point that you are either starting to have problems with reading comprehension or you oveinterpret what I'm writing, despite the fact that I made clear already what I think about crossing the border illegally, about how this crisis should be resolved and that I feel for the members of Polish forces securing the border and their families.

I don't have time right now to explain myself and comment on everything in detail though, I'll probably do that in the coming days, so show some patience, guys, and don't lynch me just yet lol

Apparently majority of them are Kurds. What do you know about the situation of Kurds in Iraq?


Why? Because I'm trying to be objective and not forget that those migrants are human beings? I'm not saying that we should be letting in anyone who wants to cross our border illegally. But we shouldn't be demonizing or dehumanizing those people only because we don't want to let them in. Btw, young men are people too, not only women and children.


Even if that's true, they still could be sending money to their families back home, just like Poles do. My relative who worked for years in Germany also didn't bring his wife and daughter there - he was sending them money. When he went to Germany he also was a young man.

Partly it is Poland's fault, because of the policy of "push-backs". And I'm just saying that in such circumstances people more easily become aggressive.


Do you have any proof for that?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


The men usually go first in order to bring their family later once they settle in.
I'm not surprised that people become aggressive when they get trapped in a cold forest with not much food, no place to sleep, no barhroom and toilet and being treated like a tennis ball by both Belarusian and Polish border guards. Some of them have been there for a month already and experienced many "push-backs".

As for money - often the whole family chips in for such a journey. I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling stuff to fund it too.

I don't approve aggression or violence, but some of them may have enough already - I think that's understandable.


It's possible that I would if I lived in Afghanistan, for example. There are worse things that can happen to kids than being stuck in a forest, trust me. Much worse. We don't know what's the situation of those people back home, so I wouldn't be so judgemental.


How? By being a GP? lol Sorry, but that's your job and you're being paid for that. Stuhr and his wife aren't being paid for what they're doing. And it's hard not be in the spotlight when you're a famous actor. I also think celebrities should be letting the public know about such actions, because they show a good example in this way.


Why don't you read the interview?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

@Cojestdocholery, I don't think Stuhr is a show off. I'm guessing that you haven't read the interview with his wife that I linked to. Earlier Stuhr and his wife took a woman and her kids from Chechnya to their own house, they lived with them under one roof for almost a year. She and her kids got an asylum in Poland thanks to the couple's help.


Stuhr and his wife clearly have more to show: compassion, charity, empathy.

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Could be. However, some of the Polish show-business people are going to the border to help the migrants, they give them food and clothes (and meet up with local people who are helping the migrants too), like a well known actor Maciej Stuhr and his wife, for example:

kobieta.wp.pl/katarzyna-blazejewska-stuhr-o-sytuacji-na-granicy-jak-slysze-te-historie-to-nie-moge-spac-6702964742007680a

So, another possibility could be that they're getting some expensive clothes from them.


They are breaking the law by crossing the border (which I don't approve, btw), but wouldn't you be doing the same if you were desperate enough (living in some sh*thole where your kids would have no future or would be persecuted)?

That's also the title of the painting (by Juliusz Kossak) and the original was painted by Rembrandt​ (you can see it in New York in Frick Collection) :)

I'm posting the first riddle to celebrate something and the second riddle for a reason that I will explain later:

Riddle 1 (the building): What is it? And more advanced (and tricky) question - what is the nickname of the sea creature which has it's "lair" in there?

Riddle 2 (the cap): Who do you think own such caps?

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

@Ziemowit, that's common knowledge (based on research, polls, etc.), so you don't have to be an expert to know about this.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

Is it? One can have satisfying sex without love and unsatisfying sex even when people love each other. So I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Love does make it a lot better though, especially if people know what they're doing and are honest about what they like and don't like.

So, besides love I'd say some other factors are:
- knowledge
- honesty
- respect


Well, having an orgasm for men is a given, but not so much for women, so it's easy for you to say :P A woman won't have an orgasm from just love alone lol

For example, there are sex positions thanks to which women are more likely to climax:

womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19902021/sex-positions-that-make-women-orgasm/

Hmm, this article is better though and closer to reality, imho:

yourtango.com/experts/sexyoudeserve/how-make-woman-come-fast-3-different-sex-positions-her

"Contrary to what many men think, the reason she usually outlasts you in bed has nothing to do with your size or stamina.

Rather, it's because most guys have sex in positions that stimulate their own areas of sensitivity, not their woman's."

So, the bottom line is - technique does matter - what you're doing and how you're doing it.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

@Novichok, you reminded me of this awesome video:

youtube.com/watch?v=fZPabO7fY-U

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


No, I was just saying that having some type of sex doesn't automatically mean having an orgasm or even enjoying this kind of sex altogether. Sometimes women force themselves to have some kind of sex they don't like in order not to disappoint their partner.


And I've found this:

uproxx.com/viral/study-orgasms-through-anal/

"But it should be noted that out of nearly 2,000 respondents, only 31 women said they'd had anal sex. (Twenty five men were on the receiving end.) That is barely representative as compared to vaginal sex, which 730 women and 830 men reported having."

And this:

healthline.com/health/healthy-sex/benefits-of-anal-sex#orgasm-frequency

"For cisgender women and people assigned female at birth, anal sex can hit two hot spots: the G-spot and A-spot. Both are located along the vaginal wall but can be indirectly stimulated during anal."

So it looks like I was wrong (I didn't lie, I simply wasn't aware :)) - apparently it is similar like with men - just like prostate, G-spot and A-spot can be stimulated indirectly during anal sex. Higher rate of orgasm than vaginal wouldn't make much sense physically though, since G-spot and A-spot are parts of vagina, not anus. So, I'm guessing that either the author from the article you linked to is right that there are other factors than physical, or some women are built a bit differently and their G-spot is closer to anus' wall surface than to vaginal wall's surface. 🤷

Either way, that's actually good news that there are women who enjoy it, I guess ;)

But, wow, johnny_reb, have you become a promotor of anal sex now? :D I thought that for you it's a sin, "sodomy" and all that! ;D

I think it wasn't stated though whether the same women who had anal sex had lower rate of orgasm during vaginal sex. It's possibile then that those women had the same rate during both types of sex, because for them orgasm simply comes easier in general.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


It doesn't mean that they've enjoyed it lol

In Polish both rape and groping are called "przestępstwo seksualne". I don't know what is the right term in English. For me it would be a "sexual assault". How would you call it? "Sexual misdemeanor"? lol


Well, if he was a woman men like you would claim that the acuser is lying because Spacey is rich and the woman wants to get money from him. I'm guessing that this man was also suspected of such intentions?

Oh, and what about boys and then grown men accusing Michael Jackson? Were they telling the truth or not? Were they after his money or not?

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


I'm guessing it's because in this way a prostate is being stimulated and a man can have an orgasm in this way (or the orgasm is being intensified, I'm not sure). So, unlike women (who don't have a prostate) men actually can experience pleasure and achieve orgasm during anal sex.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

@Novichok, I don't remember what that case was all about exactly. If it was about groping then it's still a sexual assault about which, in theory, one can lie about.


I don't, but apparently he claimed he had some kind of proof a (a video?) that he didn't provide in the end? I didn't follow that case further, so I don't know how all of it ended. But apparently there were some doubts whether he's telling the truth.

Life / Good account of Poland's Andrzejki? [23]


Yes, yes...! I remember that one too :)) Names written on pieces of paper, I think...

The only custom that was continued in our family after I became a teen was the one in which you were pouring hot wax through a keyhole, because it created cool shapes on the water and so was most fun, I guess. Mainly me and my female cousins did that though (when we were visiting our grandma in the countryside) and the problem was with finding a traditional key with a keyhole.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


He wrote that they turned "leftist", so I'm guessing they're simply normal ;) :)


That's unrealistic for Polish conditions though... Majority of people in Poland live in small flats. Two kids is the norm where I live, max 3...


I think I recall some accusations by some guy against Kevin Spacey that turned out to be false? You don't hear about rapes on men often, because men are usually too ashamed to report them.


Can you prove it?

Life / Good account of Poland's Andrzejki? [23]

We did that thing with shoes at school :) I also remember peeling an apple at home and throwing that one long peel behind me - it was supposed to form the shape of the first letter of a name of the future boyfriend or husband.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

@pawian, exactly :)

Although:


I wouldn't go that far :P ;)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


Noone claims that no woman ever lied about getting raped. False accusations happen in all kinds of crimes. And that Wiki article is about rapes in general, not only about rapes on women. Not only women get raped. Girls, boys, kids and men get raped too.


So? Do you know of any nation that is dying because of abortions? Also, lesbians and gay men aren't exactly "multiplying" to such an extent that would endanger the existence of whole "tribes".

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

@Cojestdocholery, yes, "because of the law in Poland" and not that there's a law that prevents saving the mother's life by performing an abortion. And I wrote that, among others, because that's what the patient from Pszczyna wrote - that the doctors were waiting for the baby's heart to stop beating because of the abortion law.

Btw, earlier you compared performing an abortion in such a situation to "treating a headache by beheading the patient". Have you changed your mind now, Mr. "Doctor"? So an abortion may be necessary in order to save a pregnant woman's life after all?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


I never claimed there's such a law. But it turns out that's just theory, because in practice, as we can see, in Poland these days it's more problematic.

@Korvinus, I bet you live in your mommy's basement and such fantasies of yours help you to cope with the situation ;D


What's wrong, "macho boy", you can't handle me? Haha :D

Get back to the topic please

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

@Novichok, people with functioning brains don't answer your "percentage questions", because those questions of yours are often ridiculous. Just like when you ask "how many gays are too many?". We don't get to decide how many gay people are born. Nature takes care of that and they've always been a small minority in the society. And in case of abortion - if a 16-year-old girl gets pregnant, since her boyfriend asked her not to use a condom, because he "loves her so much" (*rolls eyes*) and she wasn't able to get contraception pills, it doesn't mean that this girl once she's an adult and ready won't get pregnant. So how are we supposed to answer your question?

Majority of women usually want to have children eventually at some point in their lives, so you don't have to worry about babies not being born. And if you want more babies to be born then make becoming a mother an attractive option for women. For example, by making them feel safe to get pregnant (without them being afraid that they'll end up dead, because a dying fetus is more important than their lives).

"if a 16-year-old girl gets pregnant"

and gets an abortion (sorry, I forgot to add this bit).

I've already debunked this lie of yours at least once before already. It looks like pawian is right - you must be suffering from dementia.


Are you sure you live in Poland? ;D

Yes, and they all liked (and are known for) painting horses :)

I know, I know...! ;) But maybe someone else will guess... Hint: the artist who painted it is Polish, the man depicted is too, I suppose, but this art work is inspired/a copy of a painting by a famous foreign painter.


It is/was a bit different with licea plastyczne - typically they used to be usually 5 years, sometimes 6, for example, and later it changed to 4 or 6 (or both in one school).

No, but Serbia drove those people out of their homes:



Btw:

"The program receives the bulk of its funding from the EU, and plans to find homes for around 8,000 families in Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia by mid-2019."


And not China?? ;D Wow, you're quite a fruitcake, haha! :D


And Syria. Actually, Russia was and is meddling in all kinds of places and as Soviet Union and Imperial Russia was meddling, invading and occupying countries for decades and centuries, so it's hardly a good example.

Why "naive"? Probably there are always going to be drug peddlers, human traffickers and other criminals. So? What is your point? Shouldn't criminals be arrested for that reason? Fingernails keep growing back too and yet we cut them.
