      yeah but, like, would you share your joint with anyone? In my culture, if you’re with friends, you puff and pass. But i don’t think that applies to strangers walking up and asking you for a hit.

        As a Frenchman who’s really into live music I would, and I do! Yeah I know, COVID and shit but in the middle of a festival, having a blast and surrounded by like-minded people, if you ask nicely and I have some to spare I’ll give you a joint without thinking twice!

          If you are in the middle of the festival, the joint won’t transmit that much more Covid than just being together.

        In Kentucky the stoner culture is that you don’t light up, unless you have enough to share. That’s the attitude I keep, so yeah, if a random stranger asks me for a hit, I’ll probably just give them the rest and roll a new one.

        I live in California now, but I started weed in KY

    Tiny bit of backstory: I work in Spain so there’s a lot of kissing on the chicks when greeting someone. Spanish people kiss twice, in western countries people kiss 3 times so sometimes there’s a bit of confusion. Anyway, once a girl from Romania met a French co-worker next to my desk. Typical greeting and she says:

    • How do French people kiss?

    The guy got a little bit confused and says:

    • Trust me, you don’t want me to show you how the French kiss…

    Not really related but I found it extremely funny.

      Was gonna say, I don’t smoke but I was in upstate NY and a guy gave me a $20 to grab him a pack of smokes from a corner store while I was running in to grab a snack, and I thing I got like $1 and change back. I was appalled.

          UK here, I used to smoke Joints with tobacco mixed in. Gave up tobacco but still liked a joint.

          I moved to a dry herb vape, and now only smoke a Joint very occasionally when someone offers me a cigarette, which is very rare because of the price.

          I go “Yeah thanks” and put it behind my ear and tell em I’ll get 2 joints out of that later.

      My cigarettes cost me $0.04.21 each, but when I smoked I rolled my own with a Top-O-Matic. An entire month worth of smokes still would only cost me $42.

          Well, the inflation is the same as it is everywhere else in California, but I actually already inflated the price.

          When I quit, the price was $0.03.42 per cigarette or $35 a month. I tended to smoke and give away around 1000 cigarettes per month when I smoked.

          At $0.10.521 per cigarette, that would cost me $105.25 a month.

              Sure, I guess I just imagined it will be easy to find people to cum in their mouths later in my life so I simply ignored this one random opportunity. Had I known how much time will I have to wait to actually cum in someone’s mouth… And how difficult it is to find a random person offering this. It pretty much never happens.

        Real. solidarność is not even an yellow union, it’s anti-union. During 15 years after its victory Poland was deindustrialized, deunionized and had its already flimsy labour law not even applicable for 50% of jobs. solidarność still exist as the biggest “union” and mostly does things like supporting PiS, doing all possible manner of church servilism and sabotaging other unions.

          Well damn, didn’t know that. Mostly Polish people tend to be glib about the goings on of Poland proper, mostly because the ones I’ve met get defensive and are just generally dismissive of ideas like joining a local union without actually properly telling me why they’re hesitant.

          In my country Polish labourers have kind of been abused as a workforce, but they kind of seem okay being abused as a workforce - when they’re not in deep argument over the phone with their agencies. But even then, instead of actually organising in any way, they just accept their fate so to speak, acting all tough, when getting less in the negotiation process and worse contracts generally.

          It’s gotten to a point where I think employment agencies should be illegal, because they serve more or less as labour “handlers”, trying to screw over pretty much anyone, and even technically breaking the law sometimes, all to save their clients (the actual employers) a buck. Trying to withhold overtime, vacation pay, sick days, etc.

          This has also lead to a race to the bottom, whereby no youngsters in this country wants to work construction anymore. It’s all been cost cut and widdled down to a point where only foreign labour wants to work in those conditions. That’s bad.

          I’m not against foreign labour, but using foreign labour to manipulate and subvert the local labour market is not cool, and again, I’m not blaming Polish people. I mean get the bag, lol.

          But still, greedy asshats are at it again. What’s the next market they’re gonna fuck up? Who knows?

          Also, I’m hopeful for the political turn of events in Poland ^^ I’m not that fond of liberals, be they neo, classic or “social democrat”, but I think it was about time to take the PiS out of Poland.

          What’s your take on Tusk and the new government?

            In Poland there is mostly no choice anyway, unions only exist in state owned workplaces and big private, plus also in the administration. And often it’s the solidarność which have way closer ties to boss, local PiS bonzos and priests than to workers. Therefore often the choice is to antagonise the boss for basically nothing and end up even worse just with extra steps or just eat the shit up but retain the job. I think the historical trauma after solidarność also lingers still.

            I’m not against foreign labour, but using foreign labour to manipulate and subvert the local labour market is not cool, and again, I’m not blaming Polish people. I mean get the bag, lol.

            Sure. We are on both ends of that stick actually. I remember around 2013+ the job market was finally getting a bit better, largely due to lots of people going to west EU for years, and of course local porkys started to grumble loud that they are forced to raise wages and give people some benefits or maybe even employ them on real contracts instead of trash gigs. And when year later, Ukraine had a coup and started to hit their people with yet another round of shock therapy causing massive economic emmigration, voila! Polish govt drastically lowered all formalities and restrictions for them (while at the same time very loudly protesting against few thousands Syrians which EU wanted to place in Poland) which resulted in 2+ million Ukrainians immigrating to Poland with expected result of social dumping.

            What’s your take on Tusk and the new government?

            Tusk is undobtedly better than Kaczyński, since he’s more pragmatic and realistic, but still he’s the absolutely old neoliberal vulture, worse, a successful old neoliberal vulture, along with Kaczyński those two are the most veteran politicians on the top of Polish politics (Kaczyński is longer in it but he got significant period of being ousted in the 90’s).

            This is of course very low bar, and i expect the harsh austerity, but i at least hope they won’t try any funny meddling in the Ukraine war.

        Well depend on which side you were, in Czech it means iirc “fuck”, in Polish we have related word “piździec”, usually used in “ale piździec” or “ale piździ” which means roughly “it’s windy as fuck here” - pretty relevant in Tatras.

    Sometimes true but not always. I’ve had coworkers from the UK all the way to the middle east who were always happy to buy drinks and were more generous, I suspect many from across the commonwealth, and greco roman world tend to take gifts of food more fairly.

    Much of China having gone through multiple famines tends to have a different food culture though which probably makes people come off rude to each other
