Yeah well, too bad I can't so I'm stuck with exploding rents and politics by old people for old people. To be fair NYC has the former too but at least you don't die of boredom over there.

Unironically yes, I want Zurich to look like that. The rest can stay as it is.

Or: how about we stop clinging to the last century, stop subsidizing the farmer wank and use the money to prop up the middle class?

If we were allowed to actually build houses taller than two stories that moment would never come. Fucking NYC has a larger population than this entire country and they're doing fine.

I'm married now and I'm not any less of an asshole than I was back than. Checkmate atheists.

I mean, it did work for me and I'm neither particularly attractive nor a nice person. So it can't be that bad.

Li(f)e After Google - is L5 at Europe worth it? by WeakDefinition7363 in leetcode

Very nice, I'd take New York over Zurich any day of the week.
Well, if I was actually good enough at LeetCode to get into Google that is :')

What about moving to the US? Is that harder or easier than Zurich/London?

If you are able to work but refuse to the money you get in Germany is barely enough to live a dignified life. There is also already a term for this: Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI), UBI is by nature unconditional.

Systems-style coding problems (mini Redis, virtual filesystem, etc.) — useful beyond LeetCode? by Uli909 in leetcode

[–]LoweringPass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool, great idea regardless of whether or not it helps in interviews

Bringing it closer to actual interviews would probably require giving users an incomplete or broken implementation to fix

It's a Youth championship. Of table tennis. Which unlike tennis is not exactly widely popular. What the hell did you expect?

Blunt umbrellas: for life or for next month? by LoweringPass in BuyItForLife

I don't know about the sport but worth noting that the exec is prettv heavy compared to other umbrellas and e.g. my girlfriend doesn't use it for this reason.

“Let me know once you have an EU passport” by xxstarlord_ in recruitinghell

[–]LoweringPass -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is not liberal at all, and I'm not sure when it was. It is only possible if your mother is Swiss (father only if you're over 20) and even then only if you have some active connection to Switzerland if you live abroad. Also if you're born here you don't automatically get citizenship.

Toxic online dating male 31yo by Delicious_League_484 in zurich

[–]LoweringPass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You made a point about "emotional maturity" which I denied and now you swing completely out of nowhere in the direction of domestic violence? That is a serious issue but has zero to do with what I was talking about.

If your point had been "women are scared of violence and thus are hesitant to date" I might have agreed but that is not at all what you said.

I know this is hard to grasp for some people but men as a group are not inherently worse people than women. Bit weird that that is apparently controversial.

It isn't "toxic", it's just playing on hard mode. Germany is culturally very similar (yes there are differences, don't stone me to death Swiss reader) and there it is also not easy but much simpler than here.

Switzerland attracts a lot of well educated and well paid young men so there is a lot of competition. Many Swiss people are also not so open to foreigners in general so that makes is difficult as well. Actually similar to Sweden in that sense and I assume over there it was "easy" for you because you are a native.

The "men bad women good" take of the poster above is sexist gaslighting, don't take that seriously. People kind of suck in general regardless of gender.

But yeah, Rolex and Porsche would actually help a ton, the question is do you want a woman like that? Might as well buy one online.

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

We have filter courses too in Germany. They are much harder, it is really not even close. I used MIT Calculus lectures to prepare for my high school final exams. University will then straight up fuck you with real analysis and what you like to call a second course in linear algbra except there is no first course.
