I see, thank you

"Oh, I don't want to talk politics at all, I just want to treat work as work"

or other variations of it. Good enough for a few months.

Would a good answer be "I can do it as a constraint problem, but since I guess you are not asking for this, the solution is..." and then proceed as usual?

In Poland, many schools pride themselves for how good they are at preparing for end of high school exams. Nobody fails, nobody gets bad score.

Because if they as much as suspect you will fail, they will not let you graduate.

But statistics are kept clean :)

Yup, they don't trust mainstream, only to fall into niches. But they don't see it.

Kanał Zero is the best example.

Their slogan was "Nie chcemy Żydów, homoseksualistów, aborcji, podatków i Unii Europejskiej".

"We don't want Jews, gays, abortion, taxes and EU."

My take from it is, why the workers are punished for their leadership?

One ought go after them, but instead it's the workers that will take the blame, and leadership will go business as usual. You can't say that higher-ups didn't know what was going on, getting them there.

My uni performance would always drop whenever my parents would fight at home.

You aren't doing your homework when you're trying to not have a panic attack from shouting.

I'm ESL, I'm Polish native speaker.

I had, and I still have a lot of issues with understanding his accent. It's very hard for me to get what he's saying.

After over 20 years of nonstop streaming, Proton Radio is evolving!

Starting August 26th, the 24/7 live stream will officially shut down, and all Proton Radio shows will move to YouTube.

:(

I love their SF radio with police chatter - I can't explain, but it's just so engrossing. Genuinely my favourite.

Also, I learned about SomaFM in the past from HN too :)

Are you saying that opposition had a puppet candidate all this time in Turkey, like you'd see in Russian elections?

Could I ask what region you are from, then?

I was, without doxxing myself, somewhere in central Poland. Whether it's Łódź, Toruń, Bydgoszcz or Poznań, I leave that unsaid :D

By not watching it.

I know how I sound, but... For me it's the only approach possible. I cannot moderate myself. The only way for me is to quit cold turkey.

For many websites, I had to attempt this many times because I would fail. But I don't see any other way.

Gotcha, thanks. (tbh I don't know anyone on NFZ anyway, if I wanted to meet a psychologist, I'd wait close to 300 days and I'm in one of major cities.)

What's your general region you live in if I may ask?

And yeah, I've read it. I'm happy it got better for you. (not saying that sarcastically, I just have trouble with tone over text) How hard was the process for you to get it diagnosed?

With therapy I of course agree - I do think that people are overmedicated. It should be the last resort.

But even on that, it's unlikely that someone will concur it might be that. General vibe I got was that, as I said - it's something you grow out.

And sometimes I find myself doubting, maybe they're right and it's something wrong with us? Many times I have wondered if it is just my subconscious way of trying to avoid responsibility for myself.

In Poland, you are basically unable to get diagnosed if you are an adult. You will be treated like drug-seeker.

You did okay at school? Clearly it's not ADHD. And so on. Heard similar stories from my friends and colleagues.

Americans have that one easier, ngl.

I think it's cultural too. (But I'm Polish, not American)

I was raised by very anxious mother, until I was like 20-21, I never got out of the house unless it was for school. And nowadays I just... don't know how I would even meet people.

10-20 years ago, someone would tell her she's insane. Later, she'd be seen as a protecting parent.

Damaging economy - and slowly, but surely, closing America from the external world. It does feel very much this way. :|

American own Cultural Revolution.

It makes me so happy that he's still going. I remember listening to him when I was like 15, and now I'm way older...

Don't forget about Wagenknecht though. Very conservative socially, very left wing economically.

It's been a while, but I will thank you for detailed response.

It's ~63-64 kanjis per day.

I do imagine someone dedicated would be able to pull that off. But that's still 3-4 hours per day, I guess?

If you don't mind, I have a genuine question. (as in, I'm not looking for a fight and I won't comment furthermore even if I can't agree.)

But genuinely, what do you define by saying that American culture has shifted hard to the left and what do you define by left.

I am really not looking into fight, but that's not a take I've heard often and I want to hear you out.

... I guessed it was about some prime minister term ending, maybe he got voted out, or he wasn't elected in his constituency again.

In my defence, I'm not a native speaker

I'm not a native speaker, but I feel this isn't that hard to read? Maybe not if I was in a wrong headspace, but I can get the gist looking at it.

Question would be, what is Michaelmas? My first thought would be it's a prime minister or president, but I'd need to ask for context. If so, their term has just finished and there's a change in govt. Also, weather sucks so much and it's so muddy, the streets resemble more of some prehistoric places :P Holborn Hill is some place, part of me would say it's a street, English naming is weird.

Also I'd say that the role of those sentences is retardation to slow the reading down and to paint a dreary picture.

Unless I'm falling into a trap and overestimating my comprehension.

... if I was asked by a stranger to read a page of book for them out of blue in a store, I'd be staring dumbfounded, questioning whether everything's alright with them.

Sorry, a typo - ought have been $35k.

10k PLN monthly would be a very good salary - and also perhaps a norm, as far as I know from experience and talking to peers.
