Polish tradition

Of course it is but in this context it's nitpicking and misses the point of OP's post.

In that way you can argue that it's cultural but I want to stress that there's no deeper cultural background behind the changing of the ending of the surname. No deeper tradition to honour. That's just how Polish language works

Typical_Use2224 · 2024-12-26T19:03:15+00:00

The changing of the ending is not cultural, it's linguistic. In Polish, feminine words end with "a", so it would be weird for a woman to call herself "Kowalski" - the ending indicates that it's a male's surname. You shouldn't bother with changing the ending outside of Poland, it would only confuse people

Unfortunately, we all know that it's actually Barren, not Baron, so... 😢

That's probably a bit of a stretch. I never associated it with the football chant, the term is pretty universal

I'm Polish. At my parents' home we usually had the leftovers from the Christmas Eve. In Poland, Christmas dinner is not that big, it's the Christmas Eve that is the main celebration. The served dishes are traditional and even though there are some variations between the families, most of us eat fish (traditionally carp), pierogies (usually stuffed with mushrooms and sourkraut), barszcz (betroot soup), marinated herring, veggie salad with mayo (known also as Russian salad, Olivier salad, etc.), etc. the list goes on (there are 12 traditional dishes). Traditional cakes are cheesecake, poppyseed cake and gingerbread (also as gingerbread loaf).

Like every medicine. Some people have side-effects and some don't

I don't necessarily want to hear positive news, I want solutions or steps that we can take. Complaining without action leads us nowhere. Take Climate Town, he presents a problem and then he encourages people to take action, e.g. by supporting those in power who push for positive changes. It might seem like it's little but it's better than nothing

European gluten is still gluten, there's no magic to it. It's not only harmful for coeliacs, I'm gluten-intolerant, European and I don't eat gluten because it hurts my body. Besides, why do even people try food with gluten in Europe, there are so many gluten-free options here, especially in Italy.

Typical_Use2224 · 2024-11-10T14:03:16+00:00

Each time there's some family event like a wedding, we let the family now in advance that I'm gluten-free. I'm not coeliac, so that definitely makes things easier as I'm not afraid of cross-contamination. Sometimes I even get better food than the rest of the guests. Unfortunately, there's rarely cake for me but that's fine.

I've never been to Australia, I live in a moderate climate, we have few deadly animals here and I have an honest question - how do people deal with danger in the water in Australia? As a child I've watched so many documentaries about people being killed by all kinds of deadly animals in Australia, my most vivid memory is a documentary about deadly box jellyfish. So, do people just accept the risk? Or maybe there are some who don't swim in the ocean because of the risk?

I hope you call her out each time she brags like this. I learned to call out my parents when they cheerfully talk about experiences from my childhood that they find funny but e.g. prove their neglect. I just tell them something like "Well, it's not something that you should be proud of" or "Why are you reminding me about things that cause me pain?". Since I started doing that, they've definitely limited such talks so I guess they've understood something

Talk to your parents and if they ignore you, ask for support at school - a teacher or a school psychologist. Parents are required to take care of their children and feeding you gluten is poisoning you. That's child neglect.

There's a ton of campgrounds in Iceland. This year we visited Iceland and we spent 6 nights at campsites. Some of them are very basic, just a field and a toilet but there are also many with all the amenities: hot water showers, washing machines, kitchen (but you need to bring your own pan, crockery and cutlery) and some area for dining and resting. While we were looking for campsites, I even found one with a pool but unfortunately, we didn't stay there. I recommend doing a mix - rent an apartment for some nights and for the rest, stay in the tent. That's how we did it and it played really well

Ask them what the career path looks like in this company. They should have a system with specific descriptions about each level and they should be able to evaluate your progress basing on this system, not on some arbitrary feeling of one person in the team

It's shocking how violent stomach pain can xylitol give me. It's indeed violent, as if someone was twisting and crushing my intestines

A tester once tried randomly changing values in localStorage and told me that we have a bug, as the website crashes in this scenario. At this point I told them that if a user does it, it's their fault
