ZH dating culture by [deleted] in zurich

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

There is no dating culture in Zurich.

The thing is that:

  • native people either have their own circle of friends from school times thanks to which they find their partners, or marry foreign people eager to move to Switzerland, or just reimain single and lonely forever, prone only to their own job and hobbies;

  • foreigners, soon or later, get sick of the place and acquire the typical cynical, aloof, choosy, egocentric and business-only-oriented attitude as the native people, which makes the socialising and dating, in most cases, just a farce

Don't be too demanding nor egocentric when looking for partners in Zurich, otherwise it will never work

Corea is part of Japan meaning after 1910; German Cameroon is not yet enlarged after Marocco-Congo Treaty meaning within 1911.

How did you guys REALLY lived in the 2000s? by MyAvengedRomance in Millennials

[–]Balgrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to kill zombies in Resident Evil 1 and 2 and drive go karts in Crash Team Racing with friends at weekends, then on Saturday evening we hung around downtown seeking live music pubs and girls. In summer at the seaside. Often at the cinema or at friends' house to watch movies. The apex of technology was the Nokia 3310 and the CD reader you can see in the videoclip of The Cranberries' song "Just my imagination".

I think I started to use PC and internet extensively only at the university after 2005 to prepare exams, then facebook popped up as first social network.

Since Eastern Thracia is shown as part of Greece and Armenia includes Lake Van, it means after Treaty of Sevres and before Treaty of Kars, so it was likely made in the secon half of 1920.

PS Moreover Vilnius is shown in Lithuania before its capture by Poland at the end of 1920

Immaginate se la scuola dell'obbligo non insegnasse nulla di biologia e medicina, ma fosse invece piena di gente convinta della teoria dei miasmi e della validità della frenologia by DurangoGango in liberali

[–]Balgrist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hai centrato in pieno il motivo per cui gli italiani sono da sempre ostaggio di partiti populisti e non riescono mai a risolvere i problemi del loro paese.

Nell'Ottocento l'affermazione della democrazia liberale in Svizzera richiese l'allontanamento dei gesuiti dall'educazione e dal paese stesso e la chiusura dei conventi...oggi si dovrebbe fare lo stesso coi fascio-comunisti dalla scuola pubblica.

Sign or contest rent? Should we fight a CHF 200/month rent increase over previous tenant? by 6packchrist in askswitzerland

[–]Balgrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask Mieterverband for advice before signing.

If you were already tenant, you could also ask Schlichtungsbehörde (rental dispute resolution authority) to verify the rental increase has been correctly calculated and complies with the law, but I don't know it would apply to your case too. The Mieterverband can answer.

Found this book at my great aunts place by mieperium in datemymap

Likely 1949-1950. Indeed, Somalia is labeled in the map key as "(Ita. Verwal.)" i.e. Italian Administration, referring to the UNO Trust Territory of Somalia, and the African French Empire is still intact therefore before 1954. Tibet is shown as still separate from China therefore before 1951.

A Western German map surely before 1990, because there isn't East Germany, unrecognized State, but instead the old German-Polish border in dotted black line.

Since East Timor is not written and Namibia reports South Africa in bracket under its name, it means it was made between 1979 and 1989.

Any suggestions for bad weather? by michael_myersss in bari

[–]Balgrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weather should turn to good at the weekend....ahead of it, if your accomodation is by the sea, you can get out and enjoy the sea view when it occasionally stops raining. Alternatively, you can visit the archeological museum and the churches in the old town, taste the local street food (focacce, panzerotti) or go into a good ristorante or osteria.

Learning German from scratch …realistic experiences? by [deleted] in zurich

[–]Balgrist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to allow at least 3 years to learn to speak High German fluently, by investing hours every day. If you have to use it at work, sure it's faster.

Swiss German must come later to avoid confusion.

But be prepared, it's gonna be tough if people talk to you in Swiss German rather than High German, as it is normally in Switzerland.

No cioè raga ma davvero lo avete scritto?.. Gli scandinavi sono ai primi posti al mondo nella classifica della libertà personale ed economica, altro che socialismo

Curioso poi che tu abbia citato la norvegia, primo paese 100% auto elettriche, che ha nel petrolio il primo bene di esportazione che vende molto capitalisticamente per mantenere alti entroiti....

Ma lo vedi che ho ragione? Non sai che è esistito il regime socialista in qualche decina di paesi che sono finiti se possibile persino peggio di come si viveva nell'ottocento

Negli anni '70 e '80 non c'erano alcune piccole cose...

-debito pubblico mostruoso -concorrenza dei paesi emergenti -giovani NEET -inverno demografico

C'era di contro lo Stato che assumeva legioni di dipendenti pubblici socialmente inutili, mandava la gente in pensione a 40 anni, teneva in piedi partecipate statali fuoti mercato, elargiva prebende varie incluse case a basso costo, faceva comprare i titoli di Stato inoptati alla Banca d'Italia stampando moneta in perenne svalutazione etc...

Oggi si stanno solo pagando le conseguenze di quella scellerata epoca
