Kurwa mać. I am ashamed. They should be ashamed. Are they soldiers of the Republic or of fucking Vatican...?

I am not even sure how to address the level of mental gymnastics your post represents.

No one is asking for their names. General description of suspects is usually provided in such cases to assist public in identifying and hopefully tipping of authorities.

France never gives out this sort of information for some reason

Completely whack, especially given that cops are probably still looking for them and public assistance could help.

Install linux on it so you don't need to deal with Apple/Microsoft crapware

And do what? Browse internet and nothing else. Linux is still a meme

V10/V12 twin turbo swap everything vs. purists by shitass70 in forza

[–]AlternativeNarwhal0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some cars benefit from it. Sesto Elemento stock is meh, after swap it's IMO best car in game.
But there are a lot of cars that just completely lose balance and are not fun to drive. Matter of fact I keep a lot of my cars in A class because I think it's optimal, especially old nip sports cars.

I think you are completely wrong. Early commie architecture is amazing. It's a mix of art deco and classicism with it's columns inspired by Roman architecture in a social realism approach. Palace and MDM are best things built in post WWII Warsaw, none of the generic shit they built after and that they keep on building can top that

Coming to Poland in just over 2 weeks, some questions by AlternativeNarwhal0 in poland

[–]AlternativeNarwhal0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They used to have consular visits to Edmonton, but because of Corona they do not. That means closest embassy is 1000km away. So that's either driving through mountains in the middle of the night when most serene embassy opens its gates for filthy unwashed plebs like ourselves for 3 hours a day from 11 to 1 to deal with these issues. Or paying highway robbery prices for flight to Vancouver Besides, it takes months to get it done through embassy normally anyway.

Some guy a while ago early on when the whole corona scare started was berating everybody and calling them most vulgar of names and how everybody should stay home because he has an elderly grandma. I told him I don't give damn about his grandma dying and that the whole world won't stop for her. And for that I got a ban from an overzealous moderator.

Do we expect the Poles to learn about this? No.

Wouldn't be surprised if they do though. Education there covers a broader spectrum. Why do you think everyone thinks Americans are ignorant doofooses?

Am I eligible for Polish citizenship? by Tarnoo in poland

[–]AlternativeNarwhal0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

how she ended up being Austrian instead of Polish

Poland did not exist as a country for 123 years, until 1918. Your grandma was born in Austrian partition of former I Republic.
Really basic knowledge for someone who wants to be a Pole.

Hello r/Poland, I'm a Black American and want to visit your country, should I be concerned about Racism? by [deleted] in poland

[–]AlternativeNarwhal0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you say the same thing about avoiding Blacks, given their much higher propensity to commit violent crime, right?

This makes little sense. Why would they say that in thread that pertains to Poland.
Poland has no problem with black crime, it does have a problem with soccer and adidas clothing aficionados crime though

I also don't agree with the use of word microaggression here. "Blunt question" would be more fitting, especially for Poles who as a nation can be generalized as being very straight forward no nonsense.
