@iamharaldur I could imagine the future where space exploration is something that gives human meaning - this will be an unknown for humans & AI, spreading life across galaxy might be the ultimate purpose (:
@iamharaldur Collapse also might mean redefinition - we don’t know if the future purpose of our lives won’t be more exciting, and I think it’s at least worth checking it out (I’m also aware it might turn otherwise but hey, humanity was always exploring the unknowns!)
Yeah obviously earlier comments that you were responding to were frustration driven, and it should not be communicated in such way. But even the original post do not give some of the accomplishments to Poland, which shows the lack of awareness of the origin of Maria (: I also understand that there was no robbery - France had nothing to do with Poland during Cold War and that’s when globalization started to happen, so they were able to tell the history (or other Western countries) how they liked (also - that’s how history is written, there is nothing bad about it). It’s now up to Poland to take care of legacy, offensive comments are not gonna take us closer to that.
Regardless of the validity of examples (I agree about them
missing the point), the problem here is that France wiped out „the Polish” side of Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Starting with shortening her surname, also the knowledge that she was Polish is not really widespread.. that’s why this topic is really frustrating for Polish people. You’ve mentioned Nikola Tesla - everyone knows he was a Serbian immigrant in the US. You can’t say the same about Maria Skłodowska-Curie (:
Ta mapa też nie oddaje dokładnie rzeczywistości - duża część z tego majątku na zachodzie pochodzi z nieruchomości, a cena ziemi (nawet jeśli to ta sama ziemia) + cena budynku (nawet jeśli to ten sam budynek) w różnych krajach będzie różna (: w Polsce też większość majątku jest w nieruchomościach, ale czy gdybyśmy nagle wypchnęli ceny nieruchomości x3 to Polacy staliby się x3 zamożniejsi? Na papierze tak, ale nie mogliby sobie pozwolić na x3 większą konsumpcję. To ile gospodarka wytwarza jest lepszym wskaźnikiem imo
We can't forget about history, but bringing reparations topic in 2026 is completly unnecessary - ok history between Poland and Germany was tough, but we as Poles need to stop with this victim mentality and just move on.
Our cultures are way too similar, and yeah our great, great great granparents were fighting with each other, but throughout history sometimes it was Poland that was winning, sometimes Germany. It just happened that Poland was losing the last 200 years of battles (: We should be a proud nation, and we can't be proud if we will always be thinking about ourselves as a victim of history.
In our best interest is to have strong Germany as our neighbour - the only reality in which Poland and Germany mean something on the world stage in the future is if there will be cooperation between these two. Instead of looking for money from a struggling country we should find finally a niche in which we could excel.. this will bring much more profit than reparations, we have enormous potential, let's not waste it on unnecessary arguments.
@MorawieckiM@RozwojPlus Przydałby się w Polsce produkt inwestycyjny cos na kształt ISA z UK - możliwość wpłaty do 100k PLN/rok, możliwość inwestowania w dowolne akcje nie tylko GPW i brak podatku od zysków z inwestycji. To byłby dopiero produkt który zachęciłby ludzi do inwestowania (:
@Options4Fire Amazon ma dużo większy sens za granica niż w PL, przykładowo w UK masz dostawę do domu w ten sam dzień lub jutro, jest to dosyć wygodne. UI to inna sprawa, to faktycznie jest dramat.
think I was trying to explain with my question that's not as simple task as "let's just build a big pan-european exchange" - European countries still don't think about Europe as a whole, so for them their priority is protecting their national interest. Now, you could argue that in their national interest is to not be irrelevant against US / China, but if you place this market in London (Paris / Frankfurt) for most of the countries it's still a choice of not being irrelevant vs UK/France/Germany or US/China.. the former three countries also prioritize national interests above European :) So it's quite difficult task to accomplish
@KrzysztofLisek sprowadzanie bycia "za" lub "przeciw" euro tylko do porownywania oprocentowania kredytow hipotecznych pokazuje jak bardzo potrzebujemy otwartej dyskusji na ten temat ktora pokazalaby wszystkie strony medalu (:
@KaziuWu Kobieta z portu - z jakiegos powodu mega wciagnal mnie ten film, chociaz widze ze na filmweb i imdb oceny okolo 5 :) ogladalem po hiszpansku + napisy, pamietam ze nie moglem sluchac angielskiej wersji, moze Ci co daja te zle oceny wlaczyli to nie w natywnym jezyku.
I remember seeing for the first time “Poland. More than you expected” couple of months ago at the Chopin Airport. It made me angry and sad - this feeling of inferiority needs to stop if Poland wants to get where it should/can be in terms of its political & cultural footprint.
Hey it’s beautiful country, let’s stop assuming tourists coming there think it’s some shithole!
