I consider it a personal failing that I could never learn to like bigos. It looked disgusting as a kid, and that stuck with me.

(I hope no one minds the image dump) I don't think it's a good game, not my really my genre either way, but there's some quality post-communist 90s greyness in The Medium.       The Beksiński inspired stuff looks to also be quite well done.  It leaves GamePass on the 16th if anyone else wants to have a look.

It's also a point of pride that ours, Polish, came just years after the US (course, it didn't last long). I had that repeated to me a lot when I was growing up.

szary posted:Same in Poland, a broken leg or cancer won't put you in debt for life, but on the other hand waiting times times are so long that you either pay out of pocket or your "super urgent!!" procedure gets scheduled for 2025 and you'll be treated like poo poo at the hospital. idk how much things have changed in the last two decades, but a little "donation" used to help with line placement. some doctors were less subtle than others about this.

my family went full trump/antivax the last few years, so i wasn't sure anymore, but it seems there are some limits to just how broken their polish brains can get. i'm still a bit worried that after the early feelgood period, there'll be a growing anti-refugee sentiment fueled by agitators exploiting the troubled past of our two nations.

Mr. Apollo posted:In Polish there are masculine and feminine forms of some surnames. If a masculine surname ends in i or y, the feminine form ends in a. However, names that end in consonants don't have male and female forms. And the masculine form is usually adopted when anglicized (Yvonne Strahovski, Emily Ratajkowski), which took me a while to get used to.

Anne Frank Funk posted:Without going into this to the level of American weirdness I’m basically half Russian. Having been the subject of ethnicity/religion based slurs for half my childhood I decided way back that I will never stoop down to the level of saying “ruski/ruscy”, which if you spoke casually about Russia with anyone in Poland is loving weird because what are you going to say, rosjanie? I don't know what else to say, except that it's utterly devastating. I have to take a pause from following this stuff, because combined with realizing what's tolerated in that one putrid subforum, it's broken me.

Kaczynski on Orban (radio interview): “If Orban’s behavior doesn’t change, we can’t cooperate the way we have in the past” and “If Orban can’t see what happened in Bucha, he might need to visit an ophthalmologist” (Orban wanted an investigation first, because stuff is easy to fake in the modern world) https://www.rp.pl/polityka/art36040291-kaczynski-krytykuje-orbana-nie-mozemy-wspolpracowac-tak-jak-dotad

Sorry if this was brought up in the war thread already, but I've been trying to stay away for a bit. https://twitter.com/TadeuszGiczan/status/1514894841309708295?s=20&t=TFMxD3e_sl1SzNjqBxjFSw What the gently caress? I can't find much coverage of this elsewhere, but I don't think an image like this needs much context (yes that's a Z flag)  gently caress these people.

SlowBloke posted:I always had a weird feeling about brutalist architecture since i have a few buildings that follows those styles in my town, which are so painfully ugly the world would be a better place without but they are old enough to be granted historical site protection(and will be maintained as is forever). Yeah brutalism is something I like to admire at a distance. It can make for some pretty pictures, but I loathed it when I actually lived around it.

alex314 posted:Brains rot with age. I see it with my family, people that never held any extreme opinions start sharing such nuggets of wisdom like "let's not vote for PiS (yay) because Kaczyński is a Jew (huh?)". But is that age, or the indoctrinating power of the internet?

Had a doctor (Australian in the states) today that wanted to make political small talk ask about Poland’s problem with Russia when we’ve historically had plenty of adversaries, like the mongols, yet don’t hold a grudge against them. Also brought up the Maidan “coup”, and German tankers in Ukraine that no one’s talking about. I think it was Epoch Times assisted brain rot.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:Meat and produce mostly tastes better in Poland imo than in the US, with the exception of beef & bacon. The beef here just doesn't have the full, rich flavor of american beef, and the bacon is just all wrong and far inferior. Though the US, being the heart of empire, has a much much much bigger selection. Can’t say I agree about the bacon. It’s one of the things I try to buy at Polish stores (I’m in NJ) because it’s so much better. Maybe I need to try fancier American bacon because what I’ve eaten really doesn’t compare.

Mokotow posted:Someone’s importing Polish bacon to the US? The times we live in. I’m actually not sure how much of the fresh stuff at these stores is imported, versus made here but ~differently~. Whatever it is, I love it, but maybe this place just has particularly good bacon.
