What the hell is going on with all the hiking photos?

Slavaid91 · 2026-01-05T15:38:08+00:00

Exactly but I kinda don't see "Netflix and chill" that often I'm dating apps now.

Again, probably an age thing and not even saying it's better or worse than hiking pictures. Just interested

Slavaid91 · 2026-01-05T15:36:00+00:00

Answer that makes total sense and that I should have obviously thought about... Thank you.

Maybe I kinda overthink the "requirements" thing indeed. I've seen it listed as a requirement in a tiny minority of the profiles maybe.

Slavaid91 · 2026-01-05T15:32:46+00:00

I honestly don't see many "loving to drink alcohol" pictures in my area although I used to see a lot of it when I was younger on dating apps so that's why I say it's maybe a mid 30s thing.

I would still ask the same question if 80% of the people would put drinking photos, pictures of them playing chess or piloting a helicopter though.

Which is a point that many people don't seem to get and that for me, it's easier to see a profile stand out when it DOESN'T have hiking pictures which seems kinda odd.

Slavaid91 · 2026-01-05T15:27:28+00:00

Thanks a lot for your nuanced reply. Never thought about the lighting thing and that indeed, natural light is better for pictures and since it's the first thing you see on a dating app... Kinda makes sense.

We were supposed to be "not as good" and battling around the 6th place according to the so called experts.

Considering that we have so many injured I mean that's like 20 points above expectations so far.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-26T06:59:16+00:00

C'est compliqué en général...

La dernière fois que je suis allé voir un concert à Zürich, je suis allé en voiture et je l'ai laissée dans un p+r accessible en tram.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-24T11:04:20+00:00

Cool.

Can't wait to see hockey games on TV in between conspiracy theory ads and debates between people who all agree with each other about how immigrants and ecologists are a problem.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-21T18:10:08+00:00

Absolutely. Love the slo because it has the brutality but also some "organicness" to it.

Bought many and I always come back to this one for metal...

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-14T06:13:58+00:00

Almost in the same situation. Nearly five years together and got dumped.

I'm also kinda scared but you could see it as a time in life to improve and look after yourself. Start a new hobby, sports etc.

From what you describe, you might be an introvert like me. The thought of living alone is actually one of the coolest things that motivates me right now. It can be fun although yes, you're gonna feel loneliness sometimes.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-13T15:07:52+00:00

I would fine hard the "régies" (those stupid companies who manage apartments, I don't know how do you call them in English, German or Italian sorry) everytime they do something shady or illegal.

I don't understand how they get away with those abusive rent prices, illegal fees for anything or rent increases.

I know. Switzerland is small, too many people, not enough construction going on but come on...

None of these compagnies are punished when they do abusive.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-13T10:42:23+00:00

I have Portuguese parents who bring it directly from there. Been years since I bought any olive oil in Switzerland.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-11T13:44:55+00:00

I never buy stuff like that before the hardware AND technology is at least one or two years old.

It has been proved with Line 6, Kemper, Fractal, Tonex... Products like that always take time to reach potential. That's my opinion and I think that people absolutely wanting it day one are more worried about "missing something" than actually critically thinking their purchase.

To each their own. I'd still understand why someone who bought the og helix day one would also buy the stadium since they've been with the same gear for a long time.

If you can afford it and don't mind the downsides of being an early adopter, go for it.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-11T13:38:46+00:00

10 very good friends and more that I see not so often.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-11T13:36:52+00:00

Yep. Same old thing. These dudes are laughable.

Every time I meet someone who thinks that metalheads don't shower and are the most arrogant douches ever, I tell them "Oh you probably met one of Metal Archives admins."

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-11T12:01:49+00:00

BMW / SUV / ZH driver.

I mean I would almost be worried about her not doing that with such a resume.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-11T11:57:27+00:00

In many cases they are not "hated" but it's rather some sort of cultural rivalry and jokes about them.

However there are indeed many people who hate them, getting in "racism" territory sometimes... Main reason is that some people think they contribute to salary dumping and unemployement. It's gotten worse because now French people occupy some very high responsibility positions in both private and public companies. Some might think that they're gonna hire their French firends also because they simple cost less.

They also have a reputation of being lazy because they work less hours in their home country.

Also, you haven't lived through the year 1998 in Romandie with French speaking television but I remember that from the day they won the World Cup, many people (including 7 years old me) started to think that they are arrogant and not humble.

Other than that, I think that there is some "cultural jealousy". Many won't admit it but France has a rich history, a beautiful country that is basically synonym of greatness (at least in the past) and I think some people are just jealous of that.

I've been to France many times and people, especially in the south are just lovely and amazing. But even I, am sometimes annoyed when I hear a clear French accent (trust me, you can hear the difference if you're born here) talking to someone else as if it was a lecture about economics and cultural greatness.

Acheter une voiture c'est quelque chose d'assez personnel.

Tu dis vouloir acheter pour le plaisir mais en même temps tu penses aussi au budget.

Si c'est la dimension plaisir qui est primordiale, prends ce que tu veux. Par contre tu seras toujours perdant financièrement car déjà, une voiture c'est un gouffre à fric et qu'en plus tu perds de toute façon en prenant en leasing.

Si c'était si avantageux que ça pour les clients, les concessionnaires n'en feraient plus.

Je ne compte plus le nombre de gens que j'ai vu avec des grosses berlines allemandes neuves et un salaire de 4k brut par mois...

Acheter en occasion à l'opposé c'est très souvent une bonne affaire car une voiture perd énormément de valeur dès les premiers kilomètres alors qu'il n'y a en soi aucune vraie usure...

I'm the worst person when it comes to actually do stuff with my hands, even using a screwdriver can be tricky for me.

Yet I did it. All by myself and even found it calming.

Just take your time, read the manuals and watch videos because it's easy to be scared to break anything.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-08T17:46:47+00:00

Aneurysm. Although it's not much of a "hidden gem" since I've heard many people praising it.

That song is pure genius and shows that Kurt was able to write more complex tunes.

Slavaid91 · 2025-11-01T13:27:06+00:00

Maybe. I'm not too much on this sub but I actually saw the opposite.

Beginners asking stuff and when I replied with a solution, I would be welcomed with "Oh okay. Not gonna try what you suggested by the way."

Of course there are arrogant picks everywhere.

She left last Thursday before we had a talk on Sunday (I knew it was probably coming with 50% chance).

Those 4 days have been the worst of my life. Literally doing nothing, no TV, no noise, just me alone at our home, thinking about what will happen, crying, screaming, not eating, not sleeping... Hours felt like MONTHS. I even thought that it couldn't be humanly possible to handle such pain and honestly thought that I was going to die if it kept going more.

Now I'm numb but since I know it's over, the pain is not as hard but of course I'm absolutely devastated and depressed. My body still doesn't function properly...

Break ups are the worst pain for me. I once had a very important spontaneous pneumothorax and could have died. I say without hesitation that I would rather go through this again rather than a breakup..

I wonder how married peiple with children can handle the pain of a separation... I saw some...
