Crime by foreigners (normalized Swedish data: age, gender, income, education): high rates among Poles, Eastern Europeans, and Middle Easterners. Low among Asians and Westerners.

IMPORTANT: the Swedish researchers used suspected data instead of convictons because they say it gives a more accurate, unfiltered picture of real-world crime before lawyers and court backlogs get involved. Plus, they double-checked the "convicted" data anyway and the final results were practically identical.

If you want to look at the actual numbers on crime by nationality, that data comes from the separate data document called Tabellbilaga 1: Delstudie 1 (page 15) in the source link.
The detailed explanation for why they use the suspect data instead of convictions is in the main report (click "Ladda ner som pdf" in the source link( You can read their reasoning on pages 26 and 27 in the section titled Valet av data om misstänkta kontra lagförda personer. The part where they double check the conviction data is also in the main report on pages 145 and 146 in the section called Andel misstänkta för brott med lagföringsbeslut.

Decolonization of the predatory 🇷🇺 Moscow empire: which countries will succeed and which will fail?

The Bolshevik’s empire is gone, the Romanov’s 🇷🇺 empire is gone. NEVER 2 WITHOUT 3 — the Saddam Putsein’s 🇷🇺 empire will follow! Two questions: when will the Moscow empire collapse again, and which countries will succeed and which will fail (and become Asian Somalia, Mozambique, Yemen)?

Dear Polish people, why Wersalka?

I am a tall Dutch man and I have a relationship with a beautifull half-polish girl. Every summer we go and visit her motherland. I love the food, the people and the culture. However one thing I genuinly don’t understand is the wersalka’s (or like bed-couches). I get that it can be convenient in like guest rooms, but why do all the regular people also choose to sleep on a bedcouch? Why not normal beds and normal mattrasses?

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, I am trying to understand.

Rant over.

Do recent reports about possible Russian provocations concern you?

Hi everyone. I’m from Hungary and I’ve been feeling anxious about the war for a long time. Recently I’ve seen news about possible Russian planned provocations involving Poland, and it has made my anxiety worse.
I’m curious how people in Poland feel about these reports. Do you take them seriously, or do you see them as unlikely? How worried are you about the current situation?

Never again i go to Biedronka

Yesterday (July 4th), I bought chicken meat at Biedronka, with a best-before of July 8th. Today I open the package and see that this chicken can't be eaten because it already stinks. And this isn't the first time.

Biedronka, what's going on with you guys?

Like what if i actually find some good stuff you know expensive items or games or good clothes I won't mind keeping some of that haha.

Poland’s government aid to Ukraine compared with other top donor countries

I visualized Kiel Institute data on government aid to Ukraine from 2022 to 2026.

The graphs show military aid and financial + humanitarian aid by top country donors, both with and without the USA. Poland is highlighted in red for easier comparison.

Note: this includes government-to-government aid only. Institutional EU donors,
private donations, NGOs, volunteer groups, companies, churches, etc. are not included. 2026 only covers Jan-Apr.

Morskie oko

Hi! I came here to ask what might be a silly question, but I’m really curious.
My family and I are planning to visit Morskie Oko at the end of July, on a weekend, and I have two questions:

  1. Is it usually very crowded at the end of July, especially on weekends?
    2.Is it safe to go there now? I’ve heard about the recent bear situation in the Tatras, and to be honest, it has made me a bit scared.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
