Where? Pax Americana enveloped all of the developed world and American shanenigans have an impact on everywhere it would be nice to live. Late stage capitalism is a global problem nowadays. Americans are getting fucked economically but europeans are facing the collapse of security structures and the need for huge arms investments, also the wave of right wing populism doesn’t seem to be receeding. IDK too much about situation in south America but apart from Argentina 100 years ago SA countries never seemed to be the best of countries to live. Developed nations of Asia probably have the same problems as Europe right now.

I guess we should just hope that China doesn’t turn their strategy from economic expansion to something more imperialistic and will still be satisfied with us just consuming tons of their plastic shit.

Of course, first things need to hit rock bottom for regular people to demand fair treatment.

If people loose their jobs due to society being fed up with certain companies then it’s bad, it would be praiseworthy though if the same companies fired people due to automation or outsourcing to India. “Economics” media is a codeword for bootlicking propaganda.

Plague massively increased economic situation of peasants in western Europe.

He got so rich thanks to corporate welfare. For more than a decade he has been selling far fetched sci-fi ideas intended to save the future of humanity and received billions that fueled marketing campaigns which pumped market value of his companies like it was a meme shitcoin.

Every lottery run by private business is not a lottery but transfer of money from gullible to someone’s friends and family.

Good, whoever cooperates with Lukashenko’s regime should be completely denied entry to the EU under any circumstances.

No. The insanity of hustle culture there is off-putting to me and offers I got from there were always worse than whatever I could find through real life network.

CO2 saturators are cheap. I love carbonated water and all I buy is a gas bottle fill every two months or so for 15 euro, on top of that I don’t need to carry any heavy bottles upstairs.

Tap water here has a lot of calcium in it. Good for drinking but without filtering it would destroy my espresso machine in a month.

There literally was never a valid reason to use this service. Knowledge about possibility of my great x 30 grandmother being raped by a Mongol raider is not even a fun fact to say at parties.

Generational shift means kids bad and stupid. That’s all.

A tip for millenials: Whenever you cringe at zoomers for their dumb tiktok dances, remember the badger song and realise every generation is stupid and cringe.

Back in mid 00s I created a forum for fellow classmates to share notes, info on exams and whatever. It was active for a year or a bit more, then someone set up a Facebook page for our group and the forum died in about a month. I could not understand why people migrated so quickly, Facebook group was atrocious when it comes to search functions, any files, notes or anything you didn’t download immediatelly were lost to time never to be seen again. If the forum is still up I’m sure I’d still be able to easily download exam schedules and all notes from all the classes there, with Facebook it was a pain even a week after someone posted. There is something fundamentally wrong with society if an inferior product can sweep the board so easily. People do not care about quality or usefulness of anything, all that matters is marketing and trends.

Naleśnik in Polish. Etymology is unclear but certainly slavic. Most current hypothesis claims it’s from “na liściu” meaning something baked on a leaf.

We eat them with various jams, Nutella, anything sweet, sweetened cottage cheese or quark or curd or whatever a “twaróg” would translate to is a popular filling too.

Paving all of them over would be a huge endeavor. I hope Putins orange labrador doesn’t take is as a challenge.

I don’t read much, probably still more than most people but that is still only 3 or 4 books a year so I just buy my books and after a couple years when im sure I won’t be reading them again I donate them to libraries. Libraries are a marvelous invention, I love those places even though I almost never use them. Just imagine how controversial they would be if they never existed and someone had the idea of them now. People would be crying piracy and socialism until their faces turn red.

Storing valuable information on paper is a good idea, I have always done that anyway. I’m not buying dvds and cds though, lowering consumption of media never hurt anyone. I don’t need to watch all those Netflix shows and I don’t need to listen to music.

I never know if they are Jewish or not, the groups themselves are distinct because they are always in large groups, with multiple guides and guards, but I can’t tell Jewish or non Jewish Israelis apart just by their faces. Idk why they behave like that. It’s all ages. I sometimes see them out in the city but I heard more chilling stories about them from a guy who operates a bus transfer business to Auschwitz.

Oh believe me, Israeli trips in Kraków are the worst kind of tourists in every aspect possible. They are louder than British stag parties, more obnoxious than Americans and their favourite thing is crying about antisemitism when they are removed from somewhere for causing disturbances or making a huge mess. They do not understand the idea of rubbish bins and you can trace their paths by following cigarette butts, empty crisps packets and spit.

Hattifants?
