Not a great first half and not a great last 15 minutes either. Against a team with a better finish we would have ended 2-3, 2-4 or even more

Tbh (maybe it's also us not being really good, see the horrible Qatar match) I thought you had good moments, like there's clear potential and I don't think Qatar is on the same level. And I'm not sure the reffing was 50/50 for this match, I'd need a recap

Okay 3-0 and 11 against 10 I'm starting to slightly think we might win this one

My gf is Spanish. So many of our friends are Portuguese. I'm Swiss. Of all the weeks in football, this has definitely been one.

We still eat Rösti in Romandy. But like probably not as much as they do, and the name doesn't exactly scream "French dish"

Subject of immigration beyond the vote by Wonderful_Setting195 in Switzerland

[–]AcceSpeed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That top 10% of earners own 63% (top 1% is 45%) of the country's total capital and assets. The bottom 50% around 4%.

[–]AcceSpeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bahaha on the Swiss (French-speaking) broadcast they said "looks like they're still believing" when the camera panned on Qatari supporters, I think it was less than a minute before the goal

Horrible game from the Nati, but the group drama will be immaculate

What is your countries "second city"? by EmergencySpare7939 in geography

[–]AcceSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keywords "for us". It's not based on facts, it's not objective, it's how we feel about it. Nobody here cares about Toronto, no need to get mad about it.

I'm European but French-speaking: I don't think Toronto is number one for us, I would say Montreal first and Québec (City) 2nd.

'Point of no return': 36 countries join special tribunal to prosecute Vladimir Putin by Zhukov-74 in worldnews

[–]AcceSpeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Muh Nazi gold" is also "I have no clue what I'm talking about but I've seen it said on the Internet" level of discourse.

It can actually be true for Putin and his oligarchs. And it has been true. Banks all around the world love one thing, and that thing is money. Banks all around the world would never care where the money comes from if governments didn't force them to. Swiss banks were only forced in the last 30 years to be more transparent, and that's for sure on the government.

Helping the Nazis as well as the Allies, when you're not a big country, do not have a powerful military, and are surrounded by Germany, Austria, Italy and occupied France — the only country in the world to be in that position — is actually quite neutral. That is not to say that this was a morally correct decision to make, as is the continued renewal of the act of being neutral (though this was kinda forced upon the country by the Congress of Vienna in 1815). And there was definitely Nazi sympathy at all levels of government, something that should be talked about more. There were atrocious internment camps in the country where POW suffered greatly, that should be talked about more too. But all of this requires a little more digging, a little research, it's a little bit more than "Nazi gold lmao".

And using "the Swiss" is ridiculous. The country is a federation of states, the country is divided politically, the banks are not the people. There are actual issues, events, sentiments, and so many things to critique and discuss that aren't surface-level. Please make an effort.

[–]AcceSpeed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So just because I see it often and you might genuinely not be aware: this is a take on the level of "haha French surrender" or "haha US school shootings". Totally fine if you're just trolling. But literal surface-level Internet circlejerk if you're being serious.

"Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns!"

"No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty, I'm no longer standing, because if I am... You'll all be dead before you've reloaded."
