Every time I read about a new retarded PiS idea (so just about daily), I have a strong urge to go to the Sejm and punch every single one of their MPs in the dick repeatedly.

At airport duty frees you can see plenty of Russia speaking tourists buying copious amounts of alcohol, even though the same stuff is available in the supermarket five minutes from their house, but maybe costs a dollar a bottle more.

I preregistered at the beginning of the year, so I got my prescription and signed up last week. The shot (AZ) was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday, but I got moved to today - it'd probably be still fine if I showed up two days ago, since the staff told people they had spares and any close ones/family could be given a shot.

Also the ratio of positive test results was pretty wild in the previous waves (like 30+%), so the testing methodology wasn't that useful (not sure how the results are now though).

In Polish news, seems like the leader of opposition campaign staff has been hacked with Pegasus during last parliamentary elections. Also totally unrelated - at the same time the contents of his SMS and phone records were being reported on in state TV in a smear campaign.

I'd also like to point out that this thread isn't that active on its own, on regular days you'd get 2-3 posts a day on average, it's the recent buildup that understandably increases the rate for exchanging information for people living here, which attracts people who want to debate the just giving Putin whatever (which, while tiring, at least it has some discussion behind it) and the epic trolls discussing the merits of genocide or whatever.

I've got a sort of weird question - where did the 'Ukraine' vs 'The Ukraine' come from? I know the meaning that's currently assigned for each of them (country vs some breakaway part of Russia or something like that), but how did this article become the defined difference between the two. From quick wikiing (and consulting 20-year old knowledge about Polish grammar lodged into my head) I don't think there's a equivalent in Polish for the 'the' article and the map on articles, suggests that neither Russian, nor Ukrainian have those either. So how was this article translated into English x years ago (and when did that start appearing?)?

Cool, thank you both. I think the stuff that tripped me up when I first heard about it were countries like The United States, The Netherlands or The United Kingdom and I wasn't exactly sure how those were accepted as the proper form and that there was an issue with Ukraine.

Mokotow posted:There’s a senate inquest going, since the opposition has a slim majority there. Sadly, the senate’s inquiry doesn’t have prosecutorial rights, and can’t obligate anybody to anything. PiS is ignoring it, but they’ve also blocked an independent security expert from a military academy from testifying by threatening him with who knows what. Also the narrative by PiS was absolutely hilarious: What is Pegasus, you mean the game system (NES clone), right?  There was no Pegasus anywhere, that's fake news There was Pegasus, but it was used against criminals and only a few people, they were bad (this was actually reported by Kaczynski himself) We didn't use Pegasus a lot, like no more than a few hundred people (reported by the most broke brained and dumbest PiS guy of them all, Suski). There are a couple of confirmed cases reported every week or so, including spying on prosecutors not aligned with the party line. The Supreme Audit Office also reported quite a few of illegalities and irregularities, but lol at it being prosecuted right now. EDIT: Mokotow posted:
I think the standard way at my place was: Pork - floured, egged, breaded; no extras on the meat usually - sometimes a slice of cheese on top at the end of frying (kids love melted cheese everywhere right) and I think there was a pineapple slice under the cheese like once or twice in my life Boiled potatoes; sometimes puree/mashed Either tomatoes with chives or cucumbers; with either some cream, or greek yoghurt mmkay fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Jan 28, 2022 |

Captain Melo posted:Is there a good primer for someone who is completely ignorant of EE and just wants to understand what is happening? All I've seen lately is headlines but I'm woefully underinformed and I probably shouldn't be. 8 years ago the Ukrainian Russian-aligned president rejected association with the EU, this caused a wave of protests that eventually ousted him. Russia seized control of the Crimea with the help of little green men stationed in their naval military base leased from Ukraine in Sevastopol. They also incited rebels in the Eastern part of Ukraine, which were fairly swiftly beaten until they found that the power was in their hearts all along (also Russian artillery/tanks/anti-air helped) and were able to fight the Ukrainian army back. This was also when MH-17 was shot down by the separatists. Fast forward to now and Putin is extremely mad that the rest of the Ukraine for some reason doesn't want to stay Russian aligned and hopes another quick invasion will help with that (or maybe give him a boost in polls or rebuild the balls of influence or whatever are the main reasons).

Crosby B. Alfred posted:For those of us that aren't well versed in recent Polish politics, what's a quick summary of that? I'm assuming by recent you mean in the last x years. The short version is that in 2015 PiS won the trifecta of presidency/senate/sejm (lower house) and steadily began dismantling democratic institutions, which began by ignoring the constitutional court rulings until the majority of judges were switched to PiS aligned ones. The public television steadily increased the propaganda until it reached absolutely ridiculous levels (blaming absolutely everything bad on either the EU or Tusk), culminating in stupidity like increasing the red and positioning the main opposition party logo to give Tusk horns:  The senate was lost to the collective opposition in the last elections, but it's a relatively toothless branch of the government - the main difference is that instead of rubberstamping acts, it can delay them by a month and the sejm can then overturn the veto anyway. Lately the main topic was the wiretapping of opposition party during the last elections, prosecutors which are still anti-PiS and members of the agency that check for government overreach. There's also stuff like general corruption, but the target voters don't care, because PiS gave them lowered retirement age and 500 PLN/child/month ($125 roughly, 1/6 of current minimum wage).
