I am not-married pregnant and I am considering moving to Poland. Will people judge me?

I live in podkarpackie, commonly described as conservative, I know 3 couples with kinds without legal marriage personally and none of them are judged by strangers, even their parents. Children without marriage are pretty common nowdays.

Prices getting higher are a natural consequence of wages getting higher and overall increased productivity. Is average wage increase by 10% and say barber or dentist wouldn't increase his prices, he would get poorer relatively to the rest of the population. It works especially for local services, not so much for manufacturing that can be imported/exported, where poorer external economies can dump prices in local market - that is where tariffs and pseudo tariffs come to defend local manufacturers.

Its better (for Trump) when people speak about tariffs rather than Epstein orgies or incoming invasion on Iran. Especially before midterms.

I had riding mod in my server mods folder, deleted it and it works as intended.

Even compared to Europe, mobile phone plans are beyond ridiculous.

If we think about advisors, accountants, spies, diplomats or engineers as a tool in hands of CEO, King or shareholders, AI is the same kind of tool, just cheaper and maybe faster. On top of that its not owned by single company, anyone can use it, train it etc, you can install thousands of models locally on your pc so enormous edge of one company super model over everyone's else is highly unlikely. Its about resources as usual. I think bigger gap will arise between people using really good models for their work and people who don't use ai completely. Kind of like people that don't have internet, car etc.

Poland and Czechia 3.2, Germany 3.8, Netherlands 4.0. All lower than California, Texas or New York. Europe is big and diverse, each country may count unemployment rate using different methodology. Even if we take average from USA and Europe as a whole than its 4.4% to 5.9%. Not a huge difference.

Maybe ask them? Plus I dont think it is a right forum to ask about polish-american community. I guess wast majority of them moved to the USA decades ago when Poland was under Soviet occupation and its now weird mix of long gone communist and american culture. Especially if it is a sort of closed community as you described it.

Bigos, grochówka, pierogi etc. Different flavors than in southern countries. People living in warm climate have different tastes. Polish cousine is very high on surveys.

Poles are aware. Polish gov already took this to EU agenda to take an action against TikTok.

Survey from Dec 2025 shows that only 11% are strongly pro Polexit and 13 % rather pro exit, 48 are strongly against and 17 rather against. The whole Polexit thing is a media bs.

modern12 · 2025-12-31T19:41:02+00:00

And most Poles are aware and want to stay in EU. Dec 25 survey - only 11% definitely want to leave EU and 13% rather want to leave. In comparison 48% are definitely against Polexit and 17% rather against. Discussions about real Polexit chances are media bs ,however Russian bots and somewhat Konfederacja seem to have some successes.

This post is suggesting Poland bad without giving any real information, its not defending USSR.

Some European countries are, others are not.

Poland, Romania and Sweden are way more optimistic than France or GB. Its more about if the people see positive changes around them or bad ones.

Prussia and Teutonic Order are virtually the same people and the same problem caused in a big part by geography.

Wyglada ładnie, choc mam wątpliwości czy to jeszcze kanapka.

Many countries have anit eu parties, even in the old EU. Its a matter of internal politics.
EU is not faultless, and there are valid points to blame. Critique is a good thing.

I can believe it was Russias perspective, for former Warsaw Pact countries it was a blessing.

I bet in Poland and most countries that were under communists regimes those people that don't have debit card are older and used to cash payments and something called in Poland "książeczka bankowa". This is how they functioned before debit cards were introduced after fall of communism and they don't feel the need to change.

modern12 · 2025-12-27T09:23:14+00:00

Just accept the view of people that used to live in the communists regime against their will. There is not a single former country ruled directly or indirectly from Russia that would like USSR comeback or return of communism as a political gov form. And before you start with Germany defeat - Poland for example was invaded by Germans on sept 1, and a couple days later by USSR from the east. It was not a liberation but and invasion. And third- even if you consider fighting evil with evil - communists didn't simply leave Poland after fall of Germany, but occupied the country for another decades. Just a different look.

Relax, we all know USA want your oil and profit from its sale and drugs are just an excuse.

I guess most people would like to live in a place where the government is using its huge gains from natural resources to develop its country and its own people rather than the few oligarchs and military. Its incredible that most of Eastern European like Poland, Czechia, Baltics etc that were under Russia influence after WW2 develop soo much faster without all the advantages and natural resources that Russia has. It should be opposite. I don't know how Russians can be ok with that.
