I tried DeepSeek, and immediately fell in love.. My only nitpick is that images have to have text on them, otherwise it complains, but for the price of free, I'm basically just asking for too much. Contemporaries be damned.

I 2nd this, either the person is taller than the average tall Pole, or resided in a gmina for a long time that has low ceilings and thought it's the same everywhere..

If this "partially automates" the problem, then it's good enough for me. I think this is as close as close can get to what I'm looking for, I will try this out for sure, thanks!

does it change the aptly-attributed title "cinematic masterpiece" in any way, hmmmmm?

Yep, that's true, the latest census was from 2021, and the figure was 3.69%.

Probably the figures weren't available to Ipsos at the time, despite the publishing date :/? Idk..

Alternative view (directly from the source):

IMO being off by around 10% or more is still quite the leap.

in essence, civil contracts is an umbrella term for two types of contracts: Contract of Mandate (Umowa zlecenie) and Contract for specific work (Umowa o dzieło). Employment contracts (umowa o pracę), which are its own category of contracts, are the regular employment contracts most people are familiar with.

Basically, the 1 major difference between the civil contracts and employment contracts is that you're entitled to benefits (overtime compensation, maternity/paternity leave, PTOs), work is done in specific work hours (up to 8 hours per day if I recall correctly) and are governed by the Labor Law (at the cost of taxes 😦), whereas the civil contract has none of those and are regulated under the Civil Code, with the benefit of having a higher take-home pay. Oh and either an employee or employer can terminate the agreement at any time under the civil contract.

The changes coming into effect at the start of 2025 concern employers not because this limits the opportunities of foreigners, surprise surprise, they don't give a fuck. They're concerned because this means they will lose out on $$$ that they save from not having to pay those benefits, and foreigners are concerned because this basically limits their options at getting anything resembling a job legally in a job market that's already in the crappiest state possible.

Although I don't tune in to live sports, I just share resources to find free livestreams/media with others :P

Serendipity, idk it sounds cool, "serendipitous" moments happen a lot irl (e.g. forgetting to bring ur wallet with u to the supermarket but minutes later, you end up finding a coin in a random pocket from your jacket to unlock a shopping cart), but it almost only sees its use in fiction, like.....

This may be an instant "yes" for some of you, but there are actual proponents to this idea of video games being an art form, separate no less.

Arguments include (non-exhaustive list):

  • Video games are just combinations of previously established art forms (music, fictional prose, visual art, etc..)
  • Certain video games (think Pong and Tetris) weren't made for the purpose of being "artistic".
  • Because video games are interactive, this positions video games outside of the area of the arts. No other types of art comes close to this level of interactivity.
  • Video games (especially mass-marketed ones), regardless of their nature, are not recognized as art for as long as the purpose is solely for financial gain, which is the norm nowadays.

Personally, I believe that video games are flexible enough to possess unlimited art forms, ranging from being creatively artistic and visually stunning (e.g. Journey [2012]) to being only a tech demo or both, since they are an amalgamation of previously established art forms.

To make this discussion productive, I'd suggest approaching these arguments with an open-mind and/or coming up with an opinion supported by some video game example (note, this is only a mere suggestion).

EDIT: Just to be clear, the counter-arguments list above are NOT my take on the matter. They're loosely taken from several sources, including an IRL discussion w/ a friend and articles online, e.g. Games aren't art, says Kojima.
