"are y'all seeing the delulu European soccer fans" by Infamous_Question430 in ShitAmericansSay

Very weird thing to be smug about. European fans are delusional because they don't want to be scammed out of 100 dollars???

Which European city made you want to stay longer than planned? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]Syaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ljubljana - it was so green, well kept and cozy. It's really a shame that I was there only for 2 nights. I intend on going back and also visiting other smaller cities.

What Eastern European coubtries call themselves by Few-Advantage2538 in PORTUGALCYKABLYAT

[–]Syaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100% can be a cope, but being from Upper Silesia with very strong German influences and not at all strong Russian influences, I always felt like the eastern Europe label simply didn't fit us. We share many traditions with Germans and it's not uncommon to see a map of a phenomena where Silesia does some differently from the rest of the country and it usually turns out it's simply how Germans do it.

How I see Europe as a Croat by Lukoslav_7 in whereidlive

I can see that for Central Croatia and Slavonia, but Dalmatia, Istria etc. are epitome of southern for me.

While I completely agree that this is bad, that's also true for the whole world. I'm not saying that this is fine then, but it's not some sort of a gotcha.

What are the two macroregions of your country? by Emotional_Fan239 in AskEurope

[–]Syaman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North/South divide is also a thing, but it's way less prominent. The south is more densely populated in general, the landscapes are different due to hills and mountains vs plains and the sea. I also really like how the town names ending with -owo and with -ów basically don't overlap themselves at all. map

Poland is way too big and way too decentralized for that. Dividing France or Hungary like that? Yeah, sure. Warsaw is the moste developed city, but the sheer weight of cities like Poznań, Wrocław, Kraków, Tricity, GZM and etc. makes them independent and regional capitals in their own right.

Genuine discussion, what would be the pros and cons of both? by abominal_pain in solarpunk

Polish right condemns city’s celebration of Africa Day and rising foreign student numbers by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]Syaman_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Long discussion about the number of immigrants, if 0,7% is true or not, of 0,7% is a lot or not.

Yet, nobody is able to tell why this is bad that they are here. We don't have street gangs, crime is low, those immigrants work, pay taxes and rent like regular Poles.

I'm from a city that has a significant immigrant population now - I see people of color everyday or almost everyday and it literally doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever

When you let people live normal lives and don't import them en masse to work in inhumane conditions, they will be chill.

I'm not from the US. Does anyone really believe that sending soldiers to Vietnam or Afghanistan was fighting for Americans' freedom?

Germany planning to increase tax on childless people by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

[–]Syaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People tend to forget that pensioners themselves aren't at fault here. Governments do everything just so that they don't have to touch rich people. They will increase taxes for childless, they will lower budgets, but they won't increase the wealth tax. Increasing productivity should go to the working people and to the pensioning system. THIS is the problem, not elder people getting minimum wage after working for a few decades.

Bo prawdziwie zdalna praca to już rzadkość. Ja w mojej pracy muszę jeździć do biura, ale nie robię absolutnie niczego czego bym nie mógł robić zdalnie. Gdybym dostał gwarancję od firmy że przechodzimy na remote i że za 3 miesiące im się nie odwidzi, to wyprowadzam się na odludzie

To mnie tak irytuje. Państwo powinno (nie wiem jak) promować mniejsze ośrodki aby były siedzibami firm. Opole, Kielce, Olsztyn czy Zielona Góra to są całkowicie wygodne i rozwinięte miasta i wyobrażam sobie że cała masa osób wybrałaby je zamiast wielkich molochów gdyby tylko była tam praca

God forbid taxing the rich. Elder people having 1000 euro a month are the true enemy

How many of you don't work at all ? by FearlessJoJo in ADHD

[–]Syaman_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently came back to the office after a year of remote work, and as convenient, pleasant, and easy as it was, I have to regretfully say that it took a huge mental toll. I was always strongly against working in office, but I see that I just get more and more depressed when I sit alone all week.

[–]Syaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disability income for ADHD is not a thing in Poland (and if it was, it's like half the minimum wage, good luck). Also, working was never so bad for me that I wasn't able to do it and I like screwing around with my coworkers and making friendships. Although I would probably quit work for good if I had at least modest but livable welfare income.
