Bene Gesserit burials in “Chapterhouse” sound like it: dig a vertical hole, put the body in with (presumably) biodegradable wrapping, plant a tree on it.

To be fair, this is looking more like late XVIII century man with advanced syphilis, but after looking some of late XV century portraits the point still somewhat stands anyway.

I have Soviet Republic on my wishlist, so it was literally first game i saw just below the “Capitalism and Economy Fest” sign.

Even Warhammer 40000 chainswords usually have the blade shielded from the wielder’s side. Yes, even the chaos and ork ones.

According to the Minka Lesk omnibus after the Cadia destruction they did broke for a time before gathering their remains and losing half of their remaining numbers in incredibly suicidal but spectacular attack just to show the rest of Guard they didn’t lost the edge.

Define “many”. San Marino? Probably not very many. UK? Oh boy.

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

No, San Marino is independent state since 200 years or so (Edit: actually over 700). Sure, a very minor one, but still fit the incredibly sweeping definition of the guy i was answering to. Also why i would count Rome, it’s over 300 km away from it.

@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Undoubtedly they do have some, but the number is not comparable to for example UK. I meant that sweeping statements like above are basically useless, even for a meme. Also this particular usage in this meme definitely sound like “all lives matter”.

Real. solidarność is not even an yellow union, it’s anti-union. During 15 years after its victory Poland was deindustrialized, deunionized and had its already flimsy labour law not even applicable for 50% of jobs. solidarność still exist as the biggest “union” and mostly does things like supporting PiS, doing all possible manner of church servilism and sabotaging other unions.

Not my experience though i think i do remember hearing rumors or memes about something similar few years ago.

That’s not true. Poland don’t have any new ships.

Well one patrol boat but we build it something around 19 years so i doubt it count as “new”.

In Poland there is mostly no choice anyway, unions only exist in state owned workplaces and big private, plus also in the administration. And often it’s the solidarność which have way closer ties to boss, local PiS bonzos and priests than to workers. Therefore often the choice is to antagonise the boss for basically nothing and end up even worse just with extra steps or just eat the shit up but retain the job. I think the historical trauma after solidarność also lingers still.

I’m not against foreign labour, but using foreign labour to manipulate and subvert the local labour market is not cool, and again, I’m not blaming Polish people. I mean get the bag, lol.

Sure. We are on both ends of that stick actually. I remember around 2013+ the job market was finally getting a bit better, largely due to lots of people going to west EU for years, and of course local porkys started to grumble loud that they are forced to raise wages and give people some benefits or maybe even employ them on real contracts instead of trash gigs. And when year later, Ukraine had a coup and started to hit their people with yet another round of shock therapy causing massive economic emmigration, voila! Polish govt drastically lowered all formalities and restrictions for them (while at the same time very loudly protesting against few thousands Syrians which EU wanted to place in Poland) which resulted in 2+ million Ukrainians immigrating to Poland with expected result of social dumping.

What’s your take on Tusk and the new government?

Tusk is undobtedly better than Kaczyński, since he’s more pragmatic and realistic, but still he’s the absolutely old neoliberal vulture, worse, a successful old neoliberal vulture, along with Kaczyński those two are the most veteran politicians on the top of Polish politics (Kaczyński is longer in it but he got significant period of being ousted in the 90’s).

This is of course very low bar, and i expect the harsh austerity, but i at least hope they won’t try any funny meddling in the Ukraine war.

Well depend on which side you were, in Czech it means iirc “fuck”, in Polish we have related word “piździec”, usually used in “ale piździec” or “ale piździ” which means roughly “it’s windy as fuck here” - pretty relevant in Tatras.

That said, that joke was probably invented around 1590 about Spanish

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

That was stereotype, also now we have cities where there are 2+ cars per capita.

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Nah, partially because we were buying all the German crashed cars for years, but mostly because Poles after 1989 eaten up the car culture especially the part of car being status symbol.

It’s pretty much bog standard anticommunism, we already dunked on it in grad, but rather perfunctory since it’s so boring and didn’t even had much attention.

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Why would angel of death be interested in a grave? That’s someone way past his attention.
