History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [961]

@Bobko

So with the steel and the aluminum then you are probably correct but long term we need alternative energy sources - it is senseless to rely on onreliable partners who then blackmail us.

With the AI data centers I am struggling to give a **** - there are still not many use cases for it, other than a glorified google. If the economic model involves using finite energy at the expense of useful industries like steel then someone needs to have a rethink. But whatever the energy needs, the bigger issue is where to put these - some of the proposed sites are huge - 20-30 hectares - and it's difficult to fit that kind of installation into Europe as Tesla have seen

Yawn - for 4 years you have been predicting this.

You know that even when this is finished nobody will want to buy your crappy oil, except turd world tyrants.

I see the Eurostoxx has comfortably outperformed US and Chinese indexes this last year so someone must be shifting a lot of cheese and chocolate

One industry that is performing especially well is defence - the superior performance of European weapons, including Polish, has not gone unnoticed. Interesting tests have been conducted in the Pokrovsk and Kupiansk areas LOL

So we will have to do without fake **** and recipes taken from a 10 year old Reddit thread ? Catastrophe

Crazy comparison

Zelensky is elected and doesn't murder his own people. He believes in the free market, human rights and the rule of law.

Senseless to compare him to dictators like those or Putler who is also a murderer.

How's it going ib Pokrovsk BTW ?

Estonia has banned entry permanently to any Notth Nigerians who fought in Ukraine

Excellent move and I hope Poland follows suit, including banning entry to anyone involved in the military machine - cyber trolls, reservists, back office staff. This is a not a country for war criminals to visit

Rubio wouldn't get through Republican primaries - not crazy enough

It will probably be someone completely new

Work / finance salaries in Poland [10]

Ok whatever - so ask your family.

I have long experience in finance in Poland and have employed maybe 100 people over the years

Without speaking Polish your only options are shared service centre work. Or options outside finance like Uber, Glovo or work in restaurants.

With a work permit and speaking Polish you have far more possibility

Work / finance salaries in Poland [10]


Agree. I can give you a sensible answer if I know more about the level you are looking at

But negative or not, if your Polish is not at a good level then you won't get much more than PLN 5.000 gross.

If you can speak Polish your value doubles

But first you need a work permit unless you are a citizen

Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [130]

Plenty of good pho places in Warsaw and other Polish cities these days - I really like the one on junction of Wilcza and Krucza

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [555]

I see that weird Vance has decided to join this meeting about Greenland. Takes it from being a sensible discussion to another potential Ambush which I guess the Danes will be well prepared for.

Obvious jockeying between Vance and Rubio now for the succession - but I can't really see either of them winning an election. They don't have Trump's touch with the voters. Probably they will knife each other and a compromise candidate will get the nomination.

That's cool - should be able to withstand another 4 years of sanctions then

Life / Using less American stuff in Poland [66]

Mostly diet versions but it's still not better. I did have a coke yesterday with some spicy food but in general feel better without it already

Wondering now about music choices - I'm a huge hip hop fan so using spotify is still going to funnel royalties to those artists. Many are sympathetic to Golden Cow or have performed for him. My solution is to stream either dead dudes or more Polish, British and French rap

This image is just more made up AI slop

But as I often say, you and PolAm will believe any old **** from Facebook

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 28 [238]


Who in Europe is "sitting tight" ? Most European countries continue to give military and financial support to the Ukrainians fighting the illegal invasion

We accept that the US no longer wants to be involved and we accept that Golden Cow has tried to organize a ceasefire but that Putler is not interested in signing it.

@Miloslaw

Much lower than that - 97 "homicides" in London last year. 416 in Chicago.

But it is falling in both cities.

Life / Using less American stuff in Poland [66]

On my own - occasionally for a coffee when on the road. Also at Warsaw airport where rest of food options are slow and overpriced

But with the kids quite often - it's close to our house

We are not talking about the WW2, which the UNNR started together with their Nazi German allies.

We are talking about the current shambles, being fought by alcoholic farm boys

Impotent ? Sounds like a superpower whose army spends 2 years trying to capture a market town using quad bikes, horses and Eritreans whi thought they were going to work as officer cleaners.

You think North Nigeria would still be fighting if it wasn't for your allies - Iranian fundamentalists, starving Koreans and your Chinese frenemies LOL

Why would we let our friends and neighbors be overrun by drunk rapist war criminals ? Peace in Europe is our business so we can get on with our prosperous lives.

Any Ukrainian surrender would also be accompanied by Szrebrenica type massacres which would cost many innocent lives.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 28 [238]

There is a plan - send weapons for Ukrainians to defend themselves against an illegal invasion by disgusting war criminals

There is a definition of success - North Nigerians out of Ukraine, with reparations and never invading anyone again

Their populations have a vote (unlike the North Nigerian serfs) and can write to their congressmen if they disapprove.

Democracies who don't want to be involved have stepped away (like Slovakia). No problem with that - if they think that's the side the bread is buttered.

Totally crazy to claim that this is the fault of the West. Putler could step away tomorrow

And the "so many people" dying are mainly North Nigerian volunteers or mercenaries who joined a genocide for money - who cares about them ? Certainly not their parents. They can face the consequences

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 28 [238]

The 20 deaths per sqm is insanity - I can't think of any conflict so costly since WW1 - maybe the Iran/Iraq war.

The fact that the North Nigerian people are not out on the streets just shows how morally decayed they are - complete pitiful peasants who do not even care about their own children's lives.

You are a Nazi going by what you post on this thread, so they are good judges of character

Life / Using less American stuff in Poland [66]

5 days now withoit coke or Pepsi

Only one fast food visit - donuts and cappucino at Max Burger with my son yesterday - better than Trump funders McDonald's

This week's task - podcasts. Turns out most of my favorites are on Spotify so I can probably ditch or reduce the Apple app and Overcast. But what about the content ? At the moment I'm listening to a Bloomberg pod - need to give that some thought

It's curious that you have added grammar to your list of obsessions - migrants, pop guns, used cars and bronzed well hung Brazilian transsexuals

Put some commas in that LOL

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [587]


Not sure who you are trying to shock but in the rest of the English speaking world it lost it's offensiveness some time ago - in Australia and Scotland it's a very common all purpose pronoun and you would use it even for mild banter

I know you are unfamiliar with bars but might be like this

"here's your rum and coke"

"I wanted whisky and coke you daft ****"

Not really the done thing to use in front of women though.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 28 [238]


Yes, but still only half as long as their previous illegal invasion of Afghanistan. Putler thinks it can go on indefinitely but without mercenaries from the 3rd world, Iranian drones and Venezuelan oil it will be much more difficult.

Ukraine still mopping up farm boys in Kurpiansk this morning - they are hiding, illegally, in a hospital but that will be their last mistake on this planet
