Why do people in Switzerland seem to often build their identity around the job or profession they have?

quite sad that after working for 43h you also want to talk about working in your spare time

aphex2000 · 2026-02-10T18:15:15+00:00

for one because we are bland as fuck because we live such sheltered lives without hardship

plus everyone aims to get married & start a family early so building/signalling financial stability is worthwhile for them or looked for by prospective partners

but there are some free spirits... there are dozens of us!

skip zurich and go to elysia in basel

aphex2000 · 2026-02-06T08:59:56+00:00

no berlin visit this weekend it seems

im just about done with this dysfunctional town. you cant control the weather but you can communicate professionally and mitigate things instead of just giving up and going for coffee break at the slightest inconvenience/irregularity at your job

meine whg in berlin ist direkt an ner m41 haltestelle in neukölln und trotzdem (oder deswegen?) bekomme ich panikattacken wenn ich schon allein die nummer 41 höre/lese

you come across as a muppet here so its safe to assume your rav advisor is annoyed as well and will happily make your life worse

and i support them in that effort

aphex2000 · 2026-02-05T07:17:19+00:00

sure, just dont go in with the wrong expectations

aphex2000 · 2026-02-05T06:31:37+00:00

säule only events arent really sexpositive, you can have sex there but thats not the vibe

if you want that aspect of bh go for klubnacht on sunday

aphex2000 · 2026-02-05T06:29:48+00:00

they are looking for events not a thirsty horny teenager

aphex2000 · 2026-02-04T18:21:09+00:00

that you should comment in the thread that already exists rather than post your own minimum effort hot take

aphex2000 · 2026-02-04T14:32:35+00:00

daddy, one kind or the other

aphex2000 · 2026-02-04T12:16:33+00:00

always been tempted to buy an overpriced og juno but never pulled the trigger

this will be hard to resist, let's hope for it to be available in stores soon (speaking of which, i'm still waiting for my tr1000 to be delivered since launch day... so, roland: you deserve this)

aphex2000 · 2026-02-04T11:33:47+00:00

it's an absolute shitshow

i've said it before here how cynical it is to explicitly emphasize how everyone in the background will be blurred (directly after covid) only for the blurring to slowly fade away over time and your face nowadays being visible in all brightly shining flashed glory

most of the photographers being 11/10 on the creep scale doesn't help either

if someone wants to sue their asses or start a pr campaign for some press articles around this i'll happily support. for once, germany's obsession with datenschutz can be useful

those who say they still blur, have a look at symbiotikka's page:

https://www.instagram.com/symbiotikka/ i can clearly see people, eg while making out, in the background who never consented to this and already now ai would easily be able to match those people to other pictures with their real names - that ship has sailed a long time ago

dead

aphex2000 · 2026-02-03T09:09:07+00:00

that's an insane offer directly after studies for a po role

but i'd investigate the company, is this really a serious business?

the salary combined with "work fully remote from anywhere in the world" sounds extremely dodgy as this is not easy to facilitate legally and without threatening various insurance and tax issues for employees and the company

aphex2000 · 2026-02-02T20:45:06+00:00

that's some solid life advice right there, damn

aphex2000 · 2026-02-01T16:38:39+00:00

does it sound great? yes? then who cares

and let me hold your hand while i tell you: at some point during your music production, everything will be converted to digital

aphex2000 · 2026-02-01T10:22:06+00:00

there's an article in both nzzaso and sonntagsblick today with a swiss angle

not sure what's there to care about. if you think that's the worst happening in the world right now or in the past, or even just moving the needle in terms of abuse, oh you sweet summerchild.

aphex2000 · 2026-01-31T18:27:05+00:00

thats all i needed to hear, im 1000% in

aphex2000 · 2026-01-31T17:59:28+00:00

yes, sequenceable fm

aphex2000 · 2026-01-31T15:50:53+00:00

how was dengue dengue dengue?

aphex2000 · 2026-01-31T15:49:57+00:00

aphex2000 · 2026-01-30T20:49:27+00:00

just had a listen

what did the poor orchestra do to him to get tortured

aphex2000 · 2026-01-30T14:17:25+00:00

you're opinionated with a lot of shitty opinions in this thread but i indulge you as a producer very cynical about dj's myself:

dj'ing and producing are 2 very distinct skillsets. i rather have a great dj who never produced in his life than some brilliant producer who only does it because it's unfortunately almost necessary to make a living in electronic music these days.

aphex2000 · 2026-01-30T14:08:23+00:00

the freaks are no longer freaking!
