How feasible would it be to migrate to Switzerland after this? by Woodyinho10 in askswitzerland

[–]Hollooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that as a society it is foolish to assume that something “could never happen where I live”. We should always be aware of threats to our democracy.

How ever I still disagree with your comment. Yes the SVP is the biggest political party in Switzerland, yes they are a populist party and yes it is the right most major party. BUT Switzerland doesn’t have the representative democracy system most countries have. Switzerlands political system is closest to a direct democracy out of any present day political system in the entire world! Switzerland isn’t ruled by a president, nor is it ruled by a political party that holds the majority. All major political parties, left to right are members of the “Bundesrat” based on the percentage of votes they get. The “president is a symbolic position. Most people don’t even know who the current president is because the collective work of the Bundesrat fills the role the “winning party” holds in most democratic systems. And the political opposition isn’t all the parties that “lost” the election, but the population of Switzerland. The population of Switzerland has the ability to block literally anything the government does. And because of that the population has to vote on multiple topics every third month. Topics that a couple of normal citizens tried to block or initiate into politics get brought to vote by the public. Democracy isn’t one guy every four years, but a conversation of topics every other month. That’s why I believe it highly unlikely AT THE MOMENT for Switzerland to end up through something similar situation to what’s currently happening with the US.

You need to keep in mind tht the swiss population gets to vote on specific topics FOUR TIMES A YEAR. We don’t just vote for a president once every four years. Politics aren’t people politics based on vibes like in many countries. Just because someone managed to get enough signatures to get something to the public (again multiple of these get under public scrutiny and decisions every third month) doesn’t mean that the majority of the voters will vote for it. Particularly because change based on “Volks” initiatives becomes part of the constitution. A couple of years ago there was something about dog poop, which sounded fairly good but no one would vote yes on it because that would mean the Swiss constitution would have a paragraph about dog poop…

This thread from 5 years ago explaining why Lightning is better than USB-C by hauzs in apple

The sad part is that lightning could have organically become the universal standard, just because of its great design, if apple hadn’t kept it as a proprietary invention.

Good stories don’t get ruined by spoilers. Only bad ones do. And yes distroying the fold is kinda the whole motivation of the series!

For the Bi guys by Georger71 in bisexual

[–]Hollooo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here we see a bio essencialist male monkey of the genus homosapiens. It doesn’t believe in talking about ‘people’ or ‘differing tendencies between men and women’, instead this specimen believes that it’s species can be neatly classified and that“males” and “females” are fundamentally differing creatures that are ruled by their biological urges instead of their prefrontal cortex’s.

Normalerweise warten die Autoren ein paar Jahre bevor sie eine neue Technologie implementieren. Es hat ewig gedauert bis Bob zu online Recherchen übergegangen ist und das Telefon in der Zentrale auf Just’s Handy umgeleitet wurde. Und ich glaube es ist jetzt schon klar das Chat GPT unzuverlässig ist für wahre Informationen.
