The worst part is how many crazies import their idea about what is in the constitution from misunderstood American idiots. No buddy, we don't have constitutional right to own weapons and that's good.

Speaking of constitutions, there is/was a fair amount of very tedious drama around the Latvian constitution and continuous attempts by nationalists and conservatives to constitutionally ban legal recognition of same sex unions of any kind.


Oh you have those fuckers too? I still don't get what makes people so broke brained about same sex marriages.

In utterly unrelated news, I learned about Volte Pravý Blok today. (And I won't write their full name because I don't want to summon a … gerontocratic demon right now)

And uh. Huh.

Cibulka is a mainstay of the elections and at this point it is kinda comforting to see the party, because nobody is crazy enough to vote for him, unlike some other unhinged parties.

Old school handling of foreign names in Czech was to just append -ová to the surname of women, so that it had a recognizable shape that you could use to form different grammar forms. Nowadays we don't do that until we need the suffix to change to carry meaning, and to use different suffixes according to the name.

There are some people trying to stop people from changing suffixes of foreign names, but I think that's wrong because it breaks the grammar, and the argument of "well the name doesn't work like that" is bad, because taken to the logical conclusion, you'd have to e.g. pick right one of 7 different forms of my name to use based on grammatical conceits that DO NOT EVEN EXIST IN ENGLISH.

I can't imagine having different surname forms based on marital status, but in Czech every surname has a masculine and a feminine form.

It's a tough dilemma, on the one hand I don't like adding "ová" to foreign names that technically don't need it, on the other hand using raw English names with no declensions (e.g. "viděl jsi ten nový film s Amy Adams?")is such an insufferably ostentatious dipshit poseur move, id rather slap myself than do it.

Right. I like "Amy Adams přijela do Prahy", but definitely go with "Nový film s Amy Adamsovou" for other cases.

I mean the spiciness level of other V4 countries is literally 0. I personally think the mass infatuation with over the top spiciness is largely performative and obnoxious and to the detriment of food culture in general, but then I get even more annoyed when I make something with a molecule of chili in it and suddenly everybody freaks out that is inedible, often before even tasting it.

BTW Hungarians make very good hot sauces imo.

It's because whipping out and measuring your dicks is seen as stupid by now, so people instead measure capsaicin tolerance.

Skipping over the fact that the Kia costs more than double of what we actually drive :v: my big issue with EVs is basically "where the gently caress am I supposed to charge them?". I live in a flat in Prague, so I don't have a garage to just charge overnight, I don't drive car to work, so I can't just charge it at work, and the one close-ish charging station has a 6 hours stand-there limit, so I can't let it charge overnight there either. This leave planning trips so that we visit and wait for chargers and gently caress that.

There is literally 1, maybe 2 evs which can accommodate a 2+3 family, especially if you want to put proper kid car seats in the back.

Not to mention the cost vs a 10 year old Volvo v70

Czechs are the guys who came out very much on top when the Berlin Wall fell, a better version of what happened to Poland.

They of course did that by being nationalist and xenofobic as gently caress, as Czechoslovakia dividing in half was due to economic disparities and "lol, sort out your gypsy problem yourself" from the Czech side.

e: If anyone not from Poland is confused about why I don't just register myself as living where I do, it's not that simple. Registering somewhere indefinitely requires you to either own/control the property or have permission from the person who does. And if you don't own the property you are basically out of luck unless you have a family member who likes you who owns property nearby. No landlord would consider allowing you to register in a million years. They often put up roadblocks to even temporarily registration. Basically during part of Communism apparently being registered as living somewhere meant a right to live there (because your registration was the allocation of a domicile). And even at other times there were certain rights like you might not own the house/flat or have the right to live there, but the owner needs your permission to sell the property. So actually even family who like you might not do it for you if they're old and remember commie days.

Interesting, in Czechia you always have the right to register yourself in a rented flat, you just have to bring the contract. Lot of contracts try to do the usual BS of "akshually you can't register permanent residence here", but that's illegal and unenforceable.
