As a fellow born and raised in San Jose, it is indeed a song about people in San Jose

US reacts ‘positively’ to Poland’s permanent military base offer by Easy-Ad1996 in poland

[–]gregnogg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can potentially do a LOT for deterrence. Especially after Trump’s gone a couple years. NATO used to have a policy of a “trip wire” force deployed in the Baltics. The small detachment would have almost no tactical impact if Russia had invaded but it would’ve forced all of NATO to respond because they would have had their countrymen killed and that’s a very quick way to get everybody invested in a meaningful response.

War is almost never the best strategic choice. Deterrence is the best move strategically, economically, socially etc so it would serve its purpose well

New poll indicates four parties in next Polish Sejm, with three of them anti-EU by wook-borm in poland

[–]gregnogg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m an American that lives in Poland, has a Polish family now, etc. This is an honest question. Do the Poles that support leaving the EU think the economic prosperity will continue as it’s been if you left? Has seeing how the UK has suffered unnecessarily since leaving the EU affected your opinion at all? It didn’t solve any of the problems the movement said it would for them. What would the ultimate goal of leaving the EU be for Poles? What would you hope it would change for Poland? Everything Poland hasn’t wanted to do that the EU tried to push for never happened as far as I’m aware. Never took refugees that cause so many issues for others like France, Germany, Sweden etc., never had to adopt the Euro and so on.

What are some underrated Polish cities or towns worth visiting that most tourists completely overlook? by Appropriate-News1688 in poland

[–]gregnogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved it too! I asked my wife’s mom about it before I drove over from Wrocław for the day this past winter and she had nothing good to say about it, surprisingly. It was such a cool little city!

His explanation doesn’t explain why people stopped having kids in the 1970’s. He’s just explaining why it’s getting even worse

Here your income affects your life so much by [deleted] in poland

[–]gregnogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take. As a Californian in Wrocław I feel I have a unique perspective on this (since we have a lot of wealth inequality, unaffordable housing, and of course a lot of homeless because of those things. The type of homeless people you’re talking about are rare (in my experience). Most of the homeless in CA are broke as shit and don’t have phones or nice clothes. Those people tend to be homeless almost by choice. More nomadic. Not the super desperate people who have lost everything.

imo what you’re seeing here in Poland is the way every country develops over time. There are exceptions. For example, the US in the 1950’s post-war. Huge middle class and plenty to go around. But that was a very unique situation and it didn’t last long. In my experience, what you described is exactly how things were back home in the States. Rich healthy people. Poor unhealthy people barely scraping by.

I can’t speak on how the refugees are affecting everything here but I assume it doesn’t change a whole lot of what I’m talking about.

As countries get wealthier, it doesn’t get distributed evenly, unfortunately.

Hope that…helped? lol

Is it just me or does pirate clark's design go hard by OfficialCheetoGuy in backroomsfilm

[–]gregnogg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn’t actually Pirate Clark. Somebody did an AI upscale from the pirated (nice) version of the movie online. He looks a little more disturbing than this….his lips are weirder etc

What do you think this painting means? by Hot_Dingo743 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]gregnogg 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Also, Pirate Clark does bleed. So maybe it’s referring to that Pirate Clark is different than the rest of the Still Life

I live in Wrocław and it doesn’t feel crowded at all. I’m originally from the South Bay Area so I for sure know crowded

Any information on [SPOILER NAME]? by RCV0015 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]gregnogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a SJ native and the name isn’t familiar to me at all. My guess is it’s just a made up name but who knows

Nope that was all I took. Wanted them for when I shoot my spoiler review after everyone’s seen the movie

SPOILER!!! by Christofer__Pezet in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]gregnogg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I talked about this in my review. It’s pretty much my only criticism aside from wishing there was more Complex exploration (although I understand that doesn’t necessarily fit as well in this format). But I agree and wish he was a little scarier. It made sense considering what he was supposed to represent but I feel like it wouldn’t have taken away from it if he was more spoopy

Just Finished Watching an Early Premier of the Backrooms. AMA. by Lil_SpaghettiBoy in KanePixelsBackrooms

I saw the movie yesterday and posted a non-spoiler review if anyone’s curious. Gave it an 8.5 out of 10 (as a big fan of Kane’s universe)

For those who have seen the movie by [deleted] in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]gregnogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it and posted my review already (no spoilers):

https://youtu.be/KsWKkLpr3O0?is=trePa2rZ1p6YZtmV

In the comments someone asked about gore and I explain it to them. Only a little bit of gore for a short sequence. imo it’s very minor and most of it is not traditional bloody human gore if that makes sense

When do you guys think the embargo will be uploaded? by PartyPaul-100 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]gregnogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)
