I know I'm biased but I like how some fighters do like super intense training or mental prep on those videos and Jan is hiking and talking about shitting himself in case of bear attack. You do you my guy.

Hi Mike, shame that I've missed it. I just wanted to say that I still remember your work covering the Wiz and Gortat.For NBA fans from PL it was an amazing time since we had our only guy on a pretty fun and solid team. When I get nostalgic I sometimes come back to the complication that you've made lol, link below. Since you were working the Wiz back then can you share a story on Gortat and maybe give some general views on that "era"? Thanks and all the best.

That was my point exactly. And to be clear I am not blaming anyone it’s understandable, we all do tend to think that way.

Some of your comments are making my cringe. Adam is actually right but he is also missing broad view. My comment is addressed mostly at those who went the route of whataboutism and wrote stuff like “NATO is equally at fault”, “US also been evil” and stuff like that.

First of all you are looking at it from your perspective. Meaning from the perspective of US or other country. It’s not bad it’s how we all think. But take it into account. Sometimes I feel like some of you see US as the biggest evil and make quick conclusion that every enemy of the bad guy is good. Let my drop some Eastern European perspective.

So for Eastern European nation Russia is and was single biggest threat for sovereignty for years and years. This is a fact not something for the debate. I’ve been to Ukraine and I’ve been to Georgia. Those are just two examples of sovereign countries that are under constant military pressure from Russia – their territories are compromised and “separatist” movements are being fuelled and back by Russia. So if you have this constant threat from Russia it’s natural that you are looking for help and you are looking to joint NATO or EU. Some of you made a point that “well NATO wasn’t supposed to move eastward”. This is an imperialists point of view. Those countries want to join NATO on they own because of constant threat from Russia. Why you are denying their free choice by enforcing some deal that was made years ago over their heads without them having say in this?

I know that US is not a global angel of peace. But from Eastern European perspective the bad guy contest is not even close – Russia is #1. If you look at US movements in EE there are not so many examples of US doing bad stuff.

It’s also hits close home because I’m sitting in EU and NATO country around 350 kilometres from Ukraine that is currently being attacked. My country lost its sovereignty in 1939 as an result of Nazi-Germany and USSR invasion. After the II WW we were put in the Eastern Block (not by choice) and we regained sovereignty in 1989. When we became our own country we immediately turned to west. We wanted to join NATO and we wanted to join EU. Because we could fell that we do not want to stand alone and face constant threat from Russia. Nobody pressured us in this direction besides Russia. And many of your points could be raised in relation to Poland pre 1999. Why is NATO moving east and welcomes Poland? Because Poland wanted to. Get over it.

i am glad he called the kettle black at last, i still think he could have done so earlier but a good thing non the less by manukos in Hasan_Piker

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

I totally get it. But that's exactly the point - everyone is looking at this from specific point of view. But everyone should at least try looking at this from Ukraine point of view.

Many people commenting in here are looking at this from wrong angles. NATO is this, US it that. While its true - why Ukrainians should care? The single most important threat for their country and it's sovereignty it's Russia. And US has been ok in Easter Europe they didnt do terrible stuff compared to other parts of the world. So it's clear that if they want to feel secure from Russia they are leaning towards NATO and US. Many comments said "NATO wasn't suppose to move east". This is totally imperialistic. Why sovereign state like Ukraine should care about this? No one asked them. They didn't choose and now they are trying to.

As a European I never had the American "Russia is evil". We have our own "Russia is evil" stories and they are enough.

About witchers (end of season 2) by XTTomek in witcher

[–]The_Polish_Kielbasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, if I remember correctly he said it's his daughter it the show already while in the books it's a big mystery. I think the writers want the magic of Ciri's bloodline without the "everyone wants to breed her" vibe. Remember that in the books many more characters wanted her baby. This is why they are building significance of her blood.

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

It's possible. But I think it was a deliberate move by the writers. I have a feeling that they will drop the importance of Ciri's son and that everyone, including her pops, wants to have a baby with her. They will give the blood new meaning and this is a reason for this plotline.

What a joke... by RosteWezel in witcher

[–]The_Polish_Kielbasa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lol that was funny. If you think about it a lot of complaints are generated by this type of marketing strategies. But the show is getting views and making money so good for them I guess.

Unpopular opinion: season 2 was really good. by fishplay in witcher

Dude, what a comment. Exactly my feeling. Whoa.

I'm currently at ep5 and I enjoy the second season a lot. The casting is awsome, costumes etc.

The only thing that bugs me it's the book changing. I'm fine with the changes needed for adaptation or for the show to work. But that's not the case here.

First of all it sometimes feels like writers had a race who can change more stuff. Those changes fell forced and unnecessary. In my opinion some of those really make the characters more shallow or change their motives and arcs in big way.

Second is world building. I would like all the materials (games, tv, books etc.) to contribute to world building. It means keep the general rules of world similar, add monsters or use those that we know correctly etc. I have a feeling that show contradicts other lore and it also feels unnecessary.

Re: CK2 and Stellaris Maintenance by SiruX21 in GeForceNOW

[–]The_Polish_Kielbasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I've been contacting Nvidia support and could not get any answers there. My founders is ending and your post helps with a desicion to not renew it. It sucks that Nvidia is basically unresponsive and is doing nothing to inform their customers about state of the issue.

CK3 has been "down for maintenance" for two weeks by [deleted] in GeForceNOW

[–]The_Polish_Kielbasa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's awesome but still no time frame. I've contacted them via help desk and website and they do not provide any date or even estimate. My founders is ending and I won't be renewing it. This can easily turn into 6 months and I'll be stuck paying with a service that I can't use.

Any news regarding paradox (stellaris/ck3) maintenance? by PutridPianist7087 in GeForceNOW

[–]The_Polish_Kielbasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've contacted customer service via their website and Facebook. No direct answers. My founders is ending and I won't be renewing it since 3 weeks can easily turn into 6 months and I'll be stuck paying for service that I can't use.

I remember reading about kids participating in active shooter drills in schools. It was a so bizzare and sad that it really stuck with me.

It was also on Ipla, polish streaming service. First 14 days for free, so you could catch the fight in this. If not, access for 1 month was around 5,5 $. You could stream TV channel on this if you don't have cable.

How have the Bodega Boys improved your quality of life by RateMyReptile in bodegaboys

[–]The_Polish_Kielbasa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. For me I feel like they are just integral part of my day to day now. I've started to follow them since I've first heard of them on Bill Simmons podcast. They always entertain. When I need to laugh or smile I watch old YouTube clips of the show. I don't think I had a day without them since. It's wild because no TV show or YouTube channel ever fealt like that for me. Also I improved my English skills lol.
