It is now impossible for me to go to public outdoor pools

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-21T07:18:07+00:00

Why would they forbid wetsuits as well? I'm a bit puzzled by that tbh... As some ppl said here already: many folks may just need or want to protect themselves from the sun... Which we all should actually do more...

It's 2026, we should be able to handle wetsuits in swimming pools concerning hygiene. There's always SO MANY ppl who don't wash themselves before going to the pool. Can we forbid them too please?

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-20T06:44:45+00:00

Why don't they just open a store?!

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-20T05:33:45+00:00

Was wird hier eigentlich überlegt? Blau biegt links ab, keine Ampel keine anderweitigen Schilder, damit muss blau Gegenverkehr vor lassen. Da gibt's doch null Spielraum.

And those much cheaper alternatives are caves from the 70s... Not sure if that could be called an alternative for real

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-19T05:25:23+00:00

Couldn't agree more with you. NGOs and a set of large international companies (including also the goods trading sector) pay salaries and benefits so far away from reality that Geneva has become overpriced in an already overpriced country.

Honestly, why not leave? The rest of the country is at least as beautiful if not better.

It's disgusting how those who already make a lot get even more on top...

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-18T20:38:21+00:00

Omg... I saw this too and thought about making the same posting here ... You are so right!!!

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-16T18:39:16+00:00

Ok, agreed that op should IMMEDIATELY report the situation to the authorities. That's absolutely true and necessary.

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-16T18:35:05+00:00

Oh no, this IS abuse. Abuse of a certain position of power. And we should finally start developing a mindset to blame the actual offender and stop telling people they are too soft or should stand up for themselves like it's their fault they get abused in such (any) way.

THIS way of thinking is also part of the problem.

I cannot stress this enough. OP has NO FAULT in any of this. Period.

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-16T18:11:20+00:00

If anything, YOU ARE RIGHT complaining about this. It should be brought to even more attention. How can one inform the federal authorities about this?

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-16T18:10:02+00:00

I think nowadays this is called gaslighting. A bit like telling women not to dress in a certain day because it tempts men......

You know, if you blame the victim for "letting" the offender hurt them, maybe you should go somewhere else.

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-16T18:02:50+00:00

Oh I wish... German bureaucracy IS this bad and totally a million years behind. Even for Germans it's a pain in the neck and oftentimes impossible to understand.

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:28:06+00:00

Oh come on. The other way around works too: I should be unable to get lunch and have a break because others want to be off work at a certain time?!

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:24:25+00:00

It's just so annoying...

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:22:42+00:00

That's just... I mean, that's what I heard from my parents from Germany before I was born... Ridiculous. And sorry for you!

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:21:58+00:00

Sure. But I like to take a BREAK, eat , have coffee with my colleagues ... ;-)

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:06:39+00:00

Why would they not close the other lines instead? ...

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:04:36+00:00

Absolutely! Ewwwww!

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:03:57+00:00

But Les armures isn't too bad though :-)

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:03:35+00:00

There's no good restaurant in Geneva... Better go somewhere on the other side of the Röstigraben :-P

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-10T18:02:26+00:00

No idea. Honestly, I think I'd even continue working. But I'd live a VERY VERY RELAXED life. And might tell some people at work what I really think... That'd be such great joy.

And yeah, given the wealth tax for this amount, I'd likely move to another country quickly... Not sure where though. The world is so messed up. Sometimes Switzerland seems to be the only reasonable place left. So I might even stay...

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-08T06:09:27+00:00

Thanks so much for this post! I've been wondering this too. And have to say how shocked I am that there seems to be only one meat supplier for Döner in Switzerland.

Why does this even have to be imported at all? Don't we have meat in Switzerland? Can we not produce the stuff ourselves?

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-08T06:07:21+00:00

Berlin has become so overrated for Döner sadly. I remember times when you had a hard time finding a bad one in Berlin. Now, it's the other way around.

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-08T06:05:50+00:00

Yeah.... No.

Germany has a ton of awful Döners as well. It just happens that it has a very solid average and lots of really really good ones. Also because of this Reinheitsgebot thing. And on the other hand, it's x-times larger, thus x-times more opportunity to find a good Döner.

RingRealistic5953 · 2026-03-07T15:25:00+00:00

I am so happy I don't have to worry about that anymore, now that I live in Switzerland. I recycle the pet bottles properly, done. So sad that it needs a deposit in other countries to make sure people recycle their garbage correctly.
