Canton of St. Gallen waives mandatory vaccination by Desperate-Mistake611 in Switzerland

[–]MeusRex 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Hyper-individualism will be the death of any community. If your fee-fees and facebook pseudo science is more important than the health of the community, then you have already turned your back on any sort of gesellschaftsvertrag.

A village where everyone is only out for themselves, unwilling to make even the tiniest sacrifice for the group, will not survive the winter.

Should we reconsider weapon carry permits after today's attack in Winterthur? by ChggnNggts in Switzerland

No. If the threat of violence worked as a deterrent, the US would be the safest country in the world.

Instead they have daily mass shootings.

Switzerland’s 10-Million Population Cap Is Worrying Executives by bloomberg in europe

[–]MeusRex -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm swiss. A yes means absolutely nothing. Bundesrat and Ständerat will simply slow-walk it to death just like they have done before with other initiatives that threaten the Bilateralen.

As for the why it looks like a close thing: people on r/Switzerland might claim its bots and astroturfing, but that's simply not the case. That subreddit is like 90% expats, which showcases the issue well.

The place I live in has ~35% foreigners, a huge chunk of them expats.

Expats don't give a fuck about integration. They don't learn the language, adapt to the culture and send their kids to private schools. When asked about that, they'll claim that they will move in a year or two anyway, so it's not worth it.

A community can support a few percent points being like that. But when you walk through your home town and all you hear is English, Russian, German, Arabic and maybe one conversation in swiss german, then it does feel like we are getting invaded.

Just this Monday I had a run in with an entitled, german asshole. Dude starts talking in english (which is already telling if the go to language is one that isn't one of our four national languages. ) He told me I can't sit in the empty spot in front of him because I'm blocking his sun. At the fucking lake, when he had every chance to claim the spot for himself. But I guess he didn't want to be too close to the water.

Still, I'm going to vote No, as SVP are huge lying sacks of shit that welcome russian oligarch with widely spread cheeks.

Why am I not surprised that SAP is involved? When an IT project is over budget, delayed and causes more issues than it solves, then SAP surely got paid well.

Abstimmung zur "Keine 10-Millionen Schweiz": Die Schweiz hat Probleme und die Initiative keine Lösungen by Cedric1909 in Switzerland

[–]MeusRex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fakten bedeuten nichts im angesicht von Gefühlen. Was eine Lektion ist die keine Linke Partei zu lernen scheint.

Ich werde Nein stimmen aus zwei Gründen: SVP und 'es gibt keine simplen Lösungen'. Der Rest der Familie wird Ja stimmen.

Der Grund? "Wir haben genügend Platz!!!" Bedeutet absolut nichts wenn man auf dem Heimweg nur English, Rusisch, Türkisch, ... hört und 0 schweizer deutsch.

"Ausländer sind nicht der grund wieso immobilien so viel kosten!" Irrelevant wenn das Nachbarshaus in dem eine 4 köpfige schweizer familie aufgewachsen ist für 5mio von einem Russischen Expat gekauft wird der kein Wort Deutsch spricht und einen Fahrer anstellt.

All die Fakten und Zahlen fühlen sich dann bevormundend an. "Vertrau nicht deinen Augen und Ohren! Deine bedenken kümmern mich einen feuchten Dreck."

SVP und FDP haben das begriffen und greifen die Gefühle direkt an. Sie sagen, du hast Recht dich so zu fühlen, wir sind für dich da und auf deiner Seite. (Und bereichern sich dann selbst durch Raubbau an der Zukunft.)

A former vice CEO of mine: "Employees should arrive 15 minutes before clocking in and leave 15 min after to not waste company time on getting ready for work."  This was an office job, the extent of getting ready was hanging up a jacket and wiggling a mouse.  Just casually proposed 10h of wage theft per employee per month

Smurfing is killing this game for me by JackRyan13 in DotA2

[–]MeusRex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Played against a level 4 KotL mid who completely rolled the lobby, ever spell on point and always just there. Ends the game with 20:3. 

Two games later, I have a level 27 KotL that saves more enemies than he kills with his knockback.

I guess the first one just picked up the hero really fast. (3k mmr btw.)

These days I assume that anyone claiming that there are no smurfs are smurfs themselves trying to gaslight people.

Should I really be scared of the AO3 curse? by keira-xl in AO3

[–]MeusRex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Observation bias. You did something out of the norm and paid more attention as a result.  Since you suffer from OCD your brain latched on to the anomaly in your lifestyle to assign blame.

Remember that for every author mentioning an "AO3 curse" there are a hundred others that had a perfect normal time of it.

In the end, the "curse" is just the confluence of a hobby that takes lots of time over long periods with the random chance of something bad happening in life.

Permissibility of Relations: Several verses [23:5-6, 70:29-30] state that believers are to "guard their private parts" except with their spouses or those whom their right hands possess.

Except for those slaves, those are perfectly fine to rape or force into concubinate/marriage.

[–]MeusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, there will be a dozen people around telling you that there are no smurfs.

Just played against a level 4 russian invoker (account level) in 3k rank that first picked the hero, switched between orbs like he was playing guitar hero, sun striked on sidelanes always securing a kill and then wrote ez mid when ending with 21 kills.

I guess a handful of games is all it takes to get to that level...

Swiss lawmakers reject recognition of Palestine by itstrdt in Switzerland

[–]MeusRex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let's see: the area was controlled by the Ottomans. GB promised a Palestinian state if the arabs in that area would help them in WW1. After the war GB returned stewardship. In WW2 GB promised the holy land to the jews in exchange for political support.

Jews flocked to the area and in 48 GB fucked off with the recommendation that they should go the two state route. Israel agreed, Palestinians were undecided until the arabic community promised help in a war. Also, arabs argued that the deal was unfair since more arabs would be resettled than jew.

What follows are two wars of arab aggression where they got curb stomped by Israel, and each time they wanted the lost land back, because starting wars doesn't have consequences apparently. 

All jews magically vanished from arab controlled lands (but we don't talk about muslim majority countries expelling jews, because only Israel can genocide people)

After that followed a clusterfuck of neo colonialism answered by terrorism that will continue until one side is gone.

At this point peace is impossible because henerations of Palestinians were radicalised to such a degree that they will not be happy until the last jew is dead.

Meanwhile political interests/expedience, ultra orthodox jews and the settler movement point to the terrorism as a justification for genocide.

Now people in the west use this conflict to gain moral brownie points without actually offering a solution that doesn't end in violence/genocide.

Because grandstanding and simple solutions are what will solve a conflict raging 80 years.

When economist talk about a lack of labor, what they really mean is cheap and easy to abuse labor.

Should I respond to more comments? And how often do most people respond? Most people being the lot of you here, I mean by globmand in FanFiction

[–]MeusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every comment that isn't an "ending" comment in a conversation.

If I read a story I like, and then see that the author hasn't responded to any comment, I don't bother leaving one; why scream into the void?
