Gosplan14_the_Third [none/use name]

On the floor of a Turkish community center. Alternatively, over the North Pole.

Without the Republican New York, it looks like a late 80s map with stronger democrats.

Slayers is great, especially the first two seasons, before it went anime original.

Compare that with Ukraine’s 90% approval of independence in 1991.

71,5% for staying in the USSR in the March '91 referendum (83,5% turnout) - 92% against in the December 1991 one (84% turnout)

The public opinion turned around very fast in one year. Then the Communist Party and other left wing parties were the strongest in the late 90s. It’s like Lenin’s quote about there being weeks where decades happen. There’s no reason why it could not happen again or elsewhere.

Yeah, it’s a decent site. Their reviews are a good way to find out what seasonals are interesting, which are horny nonsense… and sometimes praise is given to shows that are both.

Menthol, Pork and Pepper sausage, anyone?

They will probably lose territory to Poland as well if this keeps up

Sigh

No they won’t. It was a fringe position in the Polish far-right before the election and now that the libs have won it’s even less likely to happen.

Or, the fighting will eventually stop and the current status quo will remain permanent. It’s hard to tell.

Kaiji hooked me HARD when I started it. The anime has a fantastic narrator as well.

Well, there’s a bit of context behind it:

The name is a meme in Poland and comes from the 1969 adventure-comedy mini-series Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową (How I unleashed World War 2).

In the second episode, the main character is in hiding insideof Nazi Germany after escaping from a Prisoner of War camp. He is eventually arrested for an unrelated reason and this is the fake name he gives to the German bureaucrat using the typewriter. Unsurprisingly, he is baffled by the spelling, especially once he gets it right… since he gets an even more difficult fake birthplace to spell by the MC.

Edit: If you mean Grzegorz, it means George and isn’t too difficult, I suppose.

Grzegorz is a perfectly normal name, and it’s not their fault if they have a difficult surname 😔

But yeah.

Additional Context: The state government of Bavaria (and several others around that same period, with similar ideas) passed a controversial reform of police laws in 2017-2018 (It was polemically called “The strictest police law since 1945”).

It included changes such as:

• increased allowance of use of personal data by the police forces.

• allowing the police to openly film and photograph people participating in public gatherings.

• allowing the police to infringe on postal secrecy and to confiscate mail without a person’s knowledge. (if given permission by the courts)

• allowing the use of police spies. Including even entering people’s homes if given permission.

As well as making previous restrictions such as on “probable danger” way more lax.
