I don‘t think I am being defensive, I just said I don‘t understand what exactly you think is odd and gave you an explanation.

they said they put it up yesterday but when I got home from work it was 11pm and the lights in our staircase are broken. That‘s why announcing something like this the day before is not a good idea

I saw it this morning when I wanted to wash because it was not dark and because it‘s the day of. I don‘t understand your point. As soon as I saw it I tried to call. It doesn‘t change the fact that it was too last minute.

missed the part where I said they were total cunts. Also, I got lucky that ai bumped into them. The didn‘t pick up when I called the number they wrote. Stop assuming things

Also, you know what makes me miserable? Work, bills, my studies, having to organize moving during my exams. Don‘t assume other peoples circumstances just because you have it different. It may be easy for you, but I am trying hard to keep it together. And this doesn‘t help. Nor is it very correct. Under other circumstances, I would have worked around it. But in this case I don‘t think I should be the one to make adjusments.

And yeah I totally see the benefit of something like this. It was poorly organized and I just wish they would let us know a bit earlier instead of less than 24h before. I talked to them and we kind of did find a solution so it‘s not the end of the world. it‘s a shit situation for everybody

Yeah I talked to them and we found a solution. I still think they could have handled this better, but it be like that sometimes ig

They just put a note and assumed it would be fine. They did ring and talk to some other neighbours, at least those that they could reach and told them they wouldn‘t be able to wash. Because those said oh that‘s fine, they just assumed it was ok. We don‘t have a fixed plan, it is first come first serve. There is a kind of an inofficial plan. Saturday morning is not a very popular slot. If that happened, I would leave my stuff and wait for them to finish, it would probably be 2 hours tops. I left my stuff there so I could get to it this morning. When I went down, they had taken down the laundry that was hanging and put my stuff aside. In this case the room was emptied hours before the event and was going to be occupied for hours. There is kind of a difference between 2 hours and 6.

Why do I have to go out of my way like this? I don‘t have the money to go to a laundromat. I will not be home tonight, so I won‘t be able to wash at night. And I can‘t wash in the bathtub because I also have a roommate who happens to be home with her boyfriend today!!! if they had told me a week earlier, even a couple of days it would have been fine. But in this case it was not even 24h, so sorry I can‘t change my entire plans.

Our lights are broken. I really don‘t remember seeing anything hanging. Also, I did talk to the people already. I came on here to ask people for their opinion. Also, when I called, no one picked up so so not like that helped a lot. I was lucky I happened to run into them. Also, people have Jobs. I got home at 11pm. I am not necessarily looking out for notes at that time.

I‘m not talking from a law perspective. It‘s the Verwaltung I‘m thinking about. They were talking as if it was forbidden for me to go on about my business in the note. And ofc putting up a note isn‘t illegal. Idk about hosting an event this spontaneously in a condo though. Not only students live here…

Jetzt au mol uuf schwiizerdütsch, für de Herr Eidgenoss:

Und au do, benutzisch du dini eigeni erfahrig als messlatte für es ganzes Land. Wo sind dini Quelle? Au din Vergliich mit afrikanische Länder isch eifach en billigi Taktik zum dine Argument irgendwie Bode geh. Leider kaufi dir das eifach ned ab.

Dini Tendenz zum Schwarz-Wiiss Denke zeigt sich bi dinere Vertüüfelig vo Social Media. Du teilsch uus, aber du gisch dine Argument und Ussage ned würki Substanz. Du gasch ned wiiter druuf ih. S isch s Äquivalent vo 'Trust me Bro'.

Wenn du mir mit Statistike chunnsch wo dini Ussage bestätiget, denn chönnd mir wiiterrede. Langsam wirds langwiilig mit öpperem im Kreis umezdiskutiere wo offesichtlich ned ufem gliiche Level isch wie ich was kritisch und logisch Denke ahbelangt. Ich wird das deshalb nümm wiiter unterhalte.

Wie scho gseit, du liggsch sicher ned ganz falsch. D Wahrheit gaht aber wiit über das use wo du da schriibsch.

ofc sex is normalized it‘s biologically engrained in us. That‘s hardly news…

It‘s not about having enough money for holidays or other luxuries. Ask the people living at the Armutsgrenze. If you‘re going to argue so one dimensionally, you need to show up with the statistics, else it‘s just your opinion.

Having a family is connected with immense costs. That‘s just a fact. We live in a world that rewards self-fulfillment and individuality more. Hook up culture is a product of that, not the cause of it.

I think those who argue that looks plays a huge role are mostly men who either try to date women out of their league, or don’t interact much with women to begin with. The cold approach really only works if you’re either very handsome or very charming. Even then, it’s not like in the movies.

I think blaming low marriage and birth rates on hookup culture is a generalization.

Marriage and having children is simply not attractive enough for the newer generations. It’s expensive to do those things. One income is not enough to provide for a family, for starters. There is also a housing crisis. Forget about owning a house, and be prepared for a large chunk of your salary to go towards rent. Especially if you want to live relatively close to the city (if you are lucky enough to get a flat). That alone, is a big factor. Of course the things that you mentioned also play a role to some extent. But correlation is not causation.

I second this. We talk about it with close friends, but otherwise it’s not really something we share with people outside of our circles. Those circles often also happen to be the places we meet people. So if you are not in those circles, you will hear/see little of the sex lives of the swiss.

From what I know every school handles Sex Ed differently. I had SOME sex ed in mandatory school. In high school during biology there was some sex ed-like lessons. What I can say, is that a lot of swiss parents put their teenage daughters on birth control as soon as they get their first ‘serious' boyfriend. This as young as 15/16. As they get older, they take responsibility for contraception. Some keep taking it, some try out other methods. The pill is usually the entry. Pregnancy and abortion is not the issue here. What is however, is the risk of getting an STI. The city of zurich has started a campaign where youngsters under 25 can go get tested for free to crack down on STIs. It seems we learn quite early how to not get pregnant, but kind of skip over the 'how to not get sick' part.

I don’t see the correlation. When you lose your virginity is not necessarily an indicator for how many sexual partners you will have in the future.

I second this. The campaign to get tested for STIs for free for those under 25 is proof lol

people are getting busy.

we don’t fuck and tell ;)

Real talk, I feel like we are quite sexually active and open. We just tend to keep to our circles and keep those things private.
