I like clothes. When flying was a bigger deal people would dress up. With the democratisation of air travel, nobody does any more. Still, in my head it's an "excuse" to dress up due to the old etiquette. It feels good to me to arrive at a new place and look put together while I'm at it.

I feel like in Italy they still kept that mindset and it shows by how people are dressed in the street. Judging by the comments it's not so common to think that way any more.

Brakuje mi puenty w tym tekście. Chciałbym żeby to był zwiastun jakiejś odwilży elegancji ale to takie tam marzenia. Ludzie chodzą w dresach i klapkach po ulicy.

Leopold Tyrmand pisał (pewnie r. ~1950):

Nie podoba mi się nowa moda. Po ulicach warszawskich snuje się mnóstwo młodych ludzi w tak zwanych dresach. Dres jest to rodzaj kostiumu, używanego w sporcie, do treningu lub dla ochrony przed zimnem w czasie oczekiwania na start... Zrobiony jest najczęściej z grubej bawełny, utrzymany w kolorze danego klubu i opatrzony jego emblematem. Szanujący się sportowiec i zawodnik używa dresu tylko wyłącznie do przejścia z szatni na boisko, do treningu w czasie chłodu lub przypatrując się zawodom przed własnym startem... w grę wchodzi jedna z najistotniejszych konwencji cywilizacji współczesnej

fajny artykuł

Friends this is clearly satire

Does anyone know the reason behind hating on the French being a thing? Is this some US import?

I'm Polish writing this from a French instance but I'm asking without duress /s

"People are buying indie games instead and I'm not happy about it"

It's a shame it has come to this, especially that Scaloni - Argentina's coach - opposed the whole war undertones by saying that "it will be just a football match and nothing more" during a press conference.

this reads like greentext

I deleted my account months ago

The total in the case is $942m. It's also not the only major lawsuit. It's still not a lot but the people commenting should at least read the article before posting. Be better than Reddit

A vast majority of the money, totaling $420m [of the $567m figure], will go towards treatment of harms Meta's platforms have already caused, through the funding of "appropriate clinical or other behavioral health programs and professionals," according to the order.

In addition, Meta was ordered to:
Eliminate "like" counts for users under 18
Ban push notifications for such users every day between 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM and to ban such notifications during the typical school year between 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, except on weekends
Implement a mandatory usage limit for such users of 90 cumulative hours per month across Instagram and Facebook, or about three hours per day

To me the problem is ideological. If you buy the a world ETF - like WEBG - 60% of the stocks in it are American. You read all the news about those companies being shitty and yet to get the best return on your income you need to invest in them.

There's also CEUG (EU stocks without "unsustainable" companies, from European company Amundi) but then you balance with other regions and it's "wrong" to have 100% home bias.

I remember once a night train startup mailed me that they are issuing bonds to help fund opening new connections. That was cool, as opposed to investing in Nvidia. Then again, investing with your heart is not the most minmaxed, so it's wrong.

Salomon Group is also owned by Finnish Amer sports, which in turn is 44% owned by Chinese Anta Sports and 4.5% by Tencent.

Would be great if Orban and Vucic fell in the same year, but as the video in the article says - the Serbian elections will probably happen at the end of 2027. Who resigns and says "I will be president for a few more weeks" rather than giving a concrete date? And how is lying about resignation going to help calm down the protests

At one point one might think the Internet is finished and it's way less stressful to just return to monkey (no /s)

Messi wasn't telling the ref what Cucurella said. Covering your mouth while speaking is a red card offense because players would say slurs and didn't want others to be able to lip-read. Cucurella wasn't doing that, he briefly tapped his lips to gesture that his teammate got hit in the mouth. Messi raised his hand as if Cucurella covered his mouth to say a slur - to get him sent off the pitch and get an unfair advantage.

If you go to the Ringier Axel Springer website for your country, chances are they list the news outlets they own there, like this for Poland

I've since replaced all of them with getting news from national news agencies or independent outlets instead (PAP.pl, European Correspondent, Notes from Poland) etc.

Thanks for sharing. Can you put that it's IRIS 2 in the title?

EDIT: thx

350kmh bahaha this is bullshit. They can't even implement ETCS2/GSM-R on Warsaw-Białystok to increase the speeds to 200 km/h despite the track being adapted to those speeds.

[2008] One year earlier, the Polish sports ministry also made an attempt to address corruption within the Polish Football Association, but was threatened with suspension by FIFA, which forbids any form of government intervention.

FIFA is a different world
