@AngloVarangian There is no European nation, despite what many EU propagandists are claiming. Consequently, there is no EU nationalism, just EU propaganda.

EU nationalism has to be the dumbest form of the nationalism in the year of our Lord 2026

@DoliwaGorska Ten gość podstawia mi się co jakiś czas tutaj. Typowy ignorant z Wysp. Nic nowego. 🤷🏻♂️

@DoliwaGorska Przepraszam, ostatnio sporo ludzi w moim otoczeniu umarło, stąd ta myśl. Również życzę dobrego dnia i wielu ład w najlepszym zdrowiu!

@3m6yh Z tym "umarła" to proszę nawet nie żartować. ;)
I dziękuję!
Dobrego dnia.

@DoliwaGorska No to akurat prawda 🤣 ale serio myślałem, że albo mnie Pani zbanowała albo skasowała konto albo umarła. Miło, że jednak nie 😄

@Real_Rye_Bread Fair enough, maybe you just don’t like Polish food. Bigos is also a side and I don’t like it either. I know Silesian food very poorly, so I can’t really give an opinion. This said, I will always choose Polish over German, for me it’s not even close (but I’m obviously biased).

@3m6yh I lived there and tried a lot, i never managed to understand Bigos. The few delicacies that were decent were just German food from the Silesian region. The polish version of the cabbage rolls also was the most disappointing one i ever experienced

Eastern Europe is in a constant fight to claim the most mid dumpling you’ll ever taste.

I congratulate Orthodox Christians on Easter!
I wish you love and peace! In our homes and souls.
Easter’s gift is Hope. Everything will be fine and right. After all, a miracle has happened! Christ lived and rose for us! Kindness and Love always win!
Christ is risen!

ein griechischer Bekannter hat mich gerade darüber aufgeklärt, dass der Name Anastasia von der Auferstehung kommt und dass sich alle in Griechenland noch Tage nach Ostern mit Christos Anesti begrüßen. Sehr schön.

@THEORTHOCHAT I love the sound of this bell. It sends electric current down my spine every time.

The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem used their notoriously large bell during the Great Friday service

@TheDealMakerGuy Quite new solution is using Pan + basic/diminutive form of ones name: Panie Tomaszu/Tomku. It is quite nice when someone knows me quite well - my barber diminutive,but I don't like this style when talking with smn first time in my life. Hopefully my name sounds too childish when

Polish has two gears - distant and familiar. No middle ground. And that's the real problem.
As a Pole - Pan/Pani is a bug, not a feature. It creates social distance that takes real energy to bridge.
I see it even at networking events in Warsaw (the white collar ones, not the cool startup ones). People are rather formal, rather sit in the corner than go and approach new people. In London or NYC you talk, exchange value, move on. No one is offended when you leave after 5 minutes to connect with someone else.
This is why Poles come across as cold to foreigners. We're not. We just have a hard wall between formal and familiar.
But then you want to order a flat white and a purple-haired barista hits you with "co dla ciebie?" instead of "co dla Pana?" and that's equally infuriating. Now you've skipped all formality with a complete stranger.
English has "you" and it just works.

My favourite thing about Poland is that you don’t address strangers as “you.” You say Pan, Pani, Państwo (Mr/Mrs/+this plural I can’t translate): formal address is built into the grammar. Even in a shop, you’d say “Czy Państwo mają…” not “do you have…” and it isn’t performative politeness but actually structural respect. There is no casual “you” for someone you haven’t been invited to be familiar with. When I do this, people often rush to correct me or rather announce familiarity. “Oh, don’t call me Madame, call me Catherine.” And I’ll still address them formally until they give me clear permission to stop or until I decide I’m familiar and done with the formal. Pure elegance. The kind that assumes every stranger deserves dignity before they’ve earned familiarity. The West abolished formality for uhhh friendliness. Poland kept it bc respect.

@AngloVarangian @GMDavisAD33 Such moments of crisis are a blessing in hindsight, provided that you do not lose hope, do not give in to dispair and trust God’s mercy and love.

@StavrosHadjiyia I consider the money I invested in gold “lost”, which is why I never panic sell and always win in the end.
English
Gold rises before a financial crisis hits and falls while the crisis is unfolding. Once the depth of the crisis is passed, gold rises again.
Rory Johnston@Rory_Johnston
People seem confused by this but for what purpose would you ever buy gold if not for the ability to spend it during a war that has prompted the largest energy supply crisis in history?
