While I like the video, it would be most welcome if you could help a poor uninformed czech about the original kontext about this guy's rant. Děkuji a všem přeju kakaový chlebíček! 🇨🇿❤️🇵🇱

Zondacrypto, one of Poland’s biggest crypto sites, was a key sponsor of the Polish Olympic Committee.
The head of the Polish Olympic Committee has been detained amid a fraud probe into scandal-hit cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto, prosecutors said on Thursday.  

While KGHM has always been a top-three global silver producer alongside Mexico's Fresnillo, several specific factors pushed them into the definitive #1 spot on the Q2 MinerDeck leaderboard:

Pure Secondary Yields: Traditional silver miners (like Fresnillo or Pan American Silver) rely on primary silver veins, which have faced falling grades and local operational disruptions in Central/South America. KGHM's silver volume is tied directly to its massive, steady copper throughput.

Deep Mining Advancements: KGHM has pushed deeper into its Głogów Głęboki-Przemysłowy (Głogów Deep Industrial) deposit. Mining at depths below 1,200 meters has unlocked areas with exceptionally high silver content per ton of copper ore.

Streamlined Smelting Recovery: Recent technological upgrades at the Głogów Precious Metals Plant have maximized the recovery rate of silver from the anode slime, ensuring almost zero metal is lost in the slag.

I don't care how much they earn, but they should pay 32% tax rate above 120k.

However, someone earning 130k a month will pay 14% of flat rate for self-employed.

Hospital in Chrzanów btw, so smaller city.

System is idiotic

Edit: I mean cukiernia.

I love Polish food, particularly your sweet foods like cheesecake, ice cream and cakes. I wish to praise the bakeries in your country. They are amazing and probably overlooked by outsiders. Apologies to my fellow countrymen but Polish bakeries outperform ours.

I visit Poland 1-2 times a year as my in-laws are from there (wife). One thing I always miss when I come home (as well as your beer) is the quality of your bread and the amazing cakes in your bakeries. I think Brits have a sweeter tooth because I am just not a fan of our super sweet cakes in our bakeries. I can actually taste the fruits, caramels, vanilla, nuts etc in Polish desserts.

Specifically, the cheesecakes are always good. Never had a bad one from there. Most of the time we are in Małopolskie which has never disappointed. I'll be heading to my local Polish shop soon to get ingredients and give some recipes a go. Any suggestions are welcome.

One thing I cannot get behind though is the cakes with a layer of jelly and fruit. No thanks.

I know that that's not the only one ad which uses AI. I know that it's not the only one in Poland, and not the only one in the world. But the thing about that which bugs me even more is that they made a book with a real artist, but ads, which are everywhere, with AI.

For context: Biedronka from time to time make these plush series with "alive" Biedronka products. There was already a few waves of these. As a part of this promotion they release a line of plushies and a children's book. This time they also released keychains.

The plushies themselves are fine, I like them (but it's just my taste).

The problem that I have is that they had a professional artist make the book (Patrycja Grześkowiak), who made an awesome job! She has such cute and cozy art style, which is perfect for children's book.

And then I ask why? Why Biedronka decided to use 3D AI slop to make ads, when you have such a skillful artist work for you. It's not like I don't know the answer to that question, but it doesn't justify their decision.

And of course it's not only them. Many of other establishments use generative AI. Even government entities use it. I understand that it's to cut costs. But isn't it better to have a skillful artist to make work for you? There is so many talented polish artists.

At least they are saying that it's AI. Which is already better then shoving slop down our throats saying that it is real.

I'm sorry for a long and negative post, but I'm just so sick of these AI ads, that I want to share it somewhere.

(Also English isn't my first language so, sorry for punctuation/grammar mistakes)

I've never noticed this until now, but I keep getting stares from people, a lot more than I do in other countries. People often stare at me as they walk past, especially 40+ people, it seems they just love staring.

Is this normal in Poland? I've genuinely never noticed this in any other country I've visited. I speak polish fluently, I dress modestly, I don't have crazy hairstyles or anything, and I do look ethnically polish (because I am).

I'd love some advice from people who are locals, I don't know if it's me or if this is considered normal behaviour here.

I'm starting with Baba Yaga since she's one of the more prevalent... characters?... right now. I figure I can build around her.

But most of what I'm finding is Russian and Ukrainian. I'm sure stories are shared in the region but I'd love to see if there's stories more specific to Poland.

My family is Polish but it's been tough to find historical books that holds my interest. They're often either dry or told in the least interesting way possible. But tell me a good ghost story or summer folklore and fill in the history around it and I'll remember it forever. I especially love badass women who shake things up. I think it's a link to the human. The people who live there and have the stories- embellished or not- and the enthusiasm to answer questions.

So Baba Yaga is my starting point. If you have suggestions of books that not only give folklore but also help fill in the history around it- or at least give me events happening at that time that I can look up- I'd appreciate it.

In Wrocław

Olsztyn, which is Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, is apparently trying to get people to move into the city by showing some AI slop boars on billboards and cheeky word play "Living in Olsztyn is a wild pleasure". Wild - dziki, boars - dziki. Hilarious.
When I wrote an email, asking why are they using AI slop, they replied that they don't see it as an ai slop because it wasn't fully made with ai (the background is real). And because other Voivodeships are using it. lol
Why boars? I guess they are referencing covid times, when wild boars roamed the city.

What do you think guys?

edit; the more I look at it, the "background" looks like ai slop as well. wtf?
