I always thought that at least Poland and the Czech Republic belong to Central Europe together with us here in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland).

Yeah that Czech Republic bit was mostly to tease Czech posters a bit, I remember having somewhat fierce discussions on this some time ago. Central Euorpe is basically just Czech Republic. Maybe Slovenia too, but is slightly stretching it I think.

If it was just a fun-opt in sort of thing and no one was pressured or the photoshoot determined who would be hired or not, why not. Like "hey great, all you interns are in. PS to get people interested in nuclear power if we're going to have a silly bikini photoshoot inside the cooling tower with hardhats to show nuclear science can be sexy!" sure, it's still pretty ridiculous, but not horrible. But if they actually did pick based on this content, or anyone felt at all pressured into doing this or if it was pushed as part of the job requirements of the internship then everyone involved needs some pretty severe discipline or firings.

In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, a tradition of spanking or whipping is carried out on Easter Monday. In the morning, men spank women with a special handmade whip called a pomlázka (in Czech) or korbáč (in Slovak), in eastern regions of former Czechoslovakia Moravia and Slovakia they also throw cold water on them. The pomlázka/korbáč consists of eight, twelve or even twenty-four withies (willow rods), is usually from half a metre to two meters long and decorated with coloured ribbons at the end. The spanking may be painful, but it's not intended to cause suffering. A legend says that women should be spanked with a whip in order to keep their health, beauty and fertility during the whole next year.[4]

An additional purpose can be for men to exhibit their attraction to women; unvisited women can even feel offended. Traditionally, the spanked woman gives a coloured egg (kraslice) prepared by themselves, invites to eat and drink as a sign of her thanks to the man. If the visitor is a small boy, he is usually provided with sweets, and a small amount of money.

In some regions, the women can get revenge in the afternoon or the following day when they can pour a bucket of cold water on any man. The habit slightly varies across Slovakia and the Czech Republic. A similar tradition existed in Poland (where it is called Dyngus Day), but it is now little more than an all-day water fight.

The Czech Alcoholic-in-Chief now has a transparent bank account for campaign purposes, as in you can actually see the balance and all transactions. The account number is also published and you're free to donate to him if you want, so...



TBH he should be just glad it's not much, much worse than this.

Omer Hodzic, a comedian who once hosted a “Daily Show”-like programme called “Monty Dayton” (tipping his hat to both the Pythons and the 1995 Dayton Accords), insists that politics is always funny. He makes a point of performing his act in Bosnia’s Serb-majority areas, precisely to push himself and his audiences into uncomfortable territory. “You guys are Serbs, right?” he asks crowds in Republika Srpska. “Am I the only Omer you’ve ever met without killing? I have to thank you for my pension, by the way. I wouldn’t have gotten it if you hadn’t killed my father.”

Well, yeah, but their votes went to Babiš and Lobotomio, same demographic, same ideals.

I bet PiS is making GBS threads themselves at least a little. They tried to do it differently this time: the proposed bill "only" banned aborting deformed fetuses (they tried to pass it as defending the children with Down's Syndrome, but the bill would, of course, ban aborting fetuses with all kinds of illnesses and mutations, including such fun and lethal abnormalities as anencephaly), because they probably realized after the last time that there are plenty of people who are generally against abortion, but think forcing women who could die if they give birth and rape victims to have children is a step too far.

Their latest effort is a bill that supporters say is only about protecting unborn babies with disabilities.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the Law and Justice leader, has argued that it does not matter if a baby’s life is short, saying in 2016 that it was his goal to “strive to make cases of even very difficult pregnancies, when the child is doomed to die because it is severely deformed, finish with birth, so that the child can be baptized, buried, given a name.”
[...]
Mr. Januszewski, whose group drafted the proposed legislation, said that of 1,100 abortions performed in Poland in 2016, 1,042 were related to the health of the fetus.

“It’s 95 percent of all abortions, and that’s what we want to ban,” he said. “Almost 40 percent are the abortions of children suffering from Down syndrome. This illness is a genetic condition, but many of the people with it enjoy a normal life and are aware of this discrimination. We regularly receive thank-you cards from many of them.”
[...]
Meanwhile, a Health Ministry ad has been encouraging Poles to “breed like rabbits.”

“If you want to become a parent one day, look at the rabbits,” encourages the narrator, himself a bunny. “I know what I’m talking about, my father had 63 of us!”

I just can't believe in a country that's such an agriculturally rich land like Ukraine, and has been famous for its honey production for centuries, they can't even get good honey. It's never been great, but they say in the last few years quality of everything has dropped. Even the small upper middle class can't get quality stuff locally, there's just no products to buy. The wealthy all go abroad and buy their non-garbage quality items to bring home.
