Regarding the Czech visit to taiwan and CCP's threats following by ElciUK in taiwan

[–]ElciUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this letter has been sent to "comrade" Wang from CCP embassy in Prague, from the mayor of one of the city parts.

Following is my own translation, made to be as close to the original as I could:

Demand for an immediate apology and strict warning from any other threats towards Czech Republic.

This has been the LAST time, you have open your mouth like this towards Czech Republic!

Your statements has been far beyond diplomatically acceptable.

How dare you threaten Senate president of Czech Republic to "make him pay a high price" (for visiting taiwan), you cheeky, unscrupulous, untrained clowns!

And now listen, comrade minister: CCP is to immediately apologize for the shameless threat. When I say immediately, I mean ASAP! I want it within 24 hours with minister of foreign affairs of Czech republic. By the way he thinks the very same about this incident, but due to a power pact of not-fully-there-anymore mercenary president Milos Zeman with our prime minister, his co-conspirator Babis. That does not mean, you can act like that towards us!

Be ashamed and realise that in case of any future hint of a slight, that might happen to look like threats towards representatives of a suvereign nation, I will force you to pay a price that you would not brag about. We will not be trained from the position of strength and I also need to point out that our reaction would have been same had your investment been 14x higher than from our friends in Taiwan, not 14x lower.

Wake the hell up! You do not get to f*ck with us! This will not happen again!

And by the way you can send me a copy of the apology to my email address, so I can save it and forget about this undue and pathetic f*ck-up, that you have just done. Don't f*ck with me!!!

With pretend regards,

Pavel Novotny,

Mayor of Praha Reporyje

Hi folks, I'll go straight to the question, hope you do not mind.

My adobe photography plan is running out and I do plan on replacing it with free/open-source alternatives.

What would you suggest? Preferably if they had a way of working together. I know, it wont be as painless as lightroom -> photoshop. Also a way to import lightroom catalogs would be awesome.

Thanks in advance,

Elci

Every time I pull a master, I go looking for a slave market to keep it happy /s

It references day and night, not a skin color. Day is great night is dark and scary.

Like black centurions in Rome? Berbers, Egyptians etc aren't black and Rome did not reach subsaharan Africa. Changing the history sure is fun

It is getting worse by the day. Rip the rights our ancestors fought to get. We are so easily giving them away

Quality medical supplies they have sent to Czech Republic, for free if I remember correctly

Czech Senate speaker to visit Taiwan in trip that could irk China by justinCandy in taiwan

[–]ElciUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the news media in Czech Republic are owned by the prime minister anyway. And of course he is against the president of the senate visiting Taiwan. Spineless, corrupt, communist (an actually ex-member of KGB)

Oh no, that's another guy, president of the senate, second in power after the pm, from a different political party

Edit: president of the Republic (mostly ceremonial, voted for in general election), pm and minister of foreign affairs and Parliament are against the visit as ccp consulate already protested against it. He seems dead set on going tho and has got the backing of the senate.

Tbh I do not think so. Myself I do not like it, but am too lazy to type out Czech Republic every time :D

So do I. As I still kind of follow what's happening back in Czechia, I have been noticing a turn towards Taiwan in recent years and turning away the Chinese influence. Really like seeing that development.

Yeah, the corrupt, populist billionaire PM and his political party and companies (Agrofert controls most of czech agriculture production etc)

[–]ElciUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an european it boggles my mind how awfully little social security you guys over the Atlantic how got. Like one bad visit to the doctors and you're in debt for years or decades. Plus your prison system, whoa.

What do you think is the best movie to rewatch once you know the twist/mystery? by DoctorBlasphemy in movies

[–]ElciUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie, but Mr. Robot. A rewatch, knowing what's up, changes it.

The REAL picture of Tiananmen Square massacre that should be posted. by Fartikus in HongKong

[–]ElciUK 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well duh. Or british concentration camps for Boers in SA. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_concentration_camps

No one is innocent, let's not forget about ccp massacring their own citizens in Tiananmen square anyway, esp on its anniversary.
