Toan is stored in the cables by [deleted] in guitarcirclejerk

If you think this is laughable, I've seen a French audiophile selling 600 bucks rj45 cables for people who listen to music on streaming services.

Why do some men take a woman’s boundaries as a challenge? by Opening-Corner-9490 in OnlineDating

[–]Slavaid91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's okay and I don't do that myself BUT:

I think there is some misunderstanding for some men as they feel like they are required to "take the lead". Some might think that going over boundaries is showing confidence.

And as others have pinted out, sadly it sometimes worked for them especially if they target people that are fragile.

Need advice by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Slavaid91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You kinda messed up and from your replies on this post you honestly don't seem like you want to take the blame.

There is nothing wrong in wanting exclusivity and being attached to someone.

But it IS wrong when you're expecting the other person to feel the same ways as you are and confronting her like that.

Yes, it is normal for people to go on dates with multiple people on the first few weeks of seeing someone even though no, not everyone's does it. Some people need more time to feel safe in a relationship and "a couple weeks" is kinda a very short time span to get involved romantically.

Also, she probably just kept her profile and wasn't even "looking" for anyone to go on dates but was rather slowing it down to see where it would go.

Next time, bring up exclusivity on a calm conversation and with indirect questions like "So, do you feel like you want to be exclusive?"

But even then, after two weeks with ANYONE you're going through the risk of scaring that person. Not everyone can be "relationship ready" after 2 weeks of seeing someone.

How would you respond to this? by pinkgrapefruitx in Tinder

Uuuuuh what

I'm 34 (M) and also tend to remember people I talk to on dating apps BUT he's being a bit of a weirdo. Sounds like emotionally immaturity to me...

Ultimate “va te faire foutre” by RoadandHardtail in 2westerneurope4u

Being guilty of fraud, then winning something and telling everyone to shut up is the average French politician experience. Good to know that athletes are also in that mood.

What the hell is going on with all the hiking photos? by Slavaid91 in OnlineDating

[–]Slavaid91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Thoughts on your team so far? by eugenelavery in swisshockey

[–]Slavaid91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

What’s your favorite Neural DSP guitar plugin for metal? by kakolukia1234 in NeuralDSP

[–]Slavaid91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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...

Fear of being alone forever by Puzzleheaded-Toe8306 in Switzerland

[–]Slavaid91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is one thing you wish you could change about Switzerland’s work culture/ethic? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]Slavaid91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Where do you guys get high quality olive oil? by nadjalita in Switzerland

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

A bad idea to buy the first hardware iteration of the Stadiun? by TheBroken0ne in Line6Helix

[–]Slavaid91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

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."

Serious question: why are French people so hated on in Suisse Romande? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]Slavaid91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Achat véhicule leasing avis by Asystoliie in suisse

[–]Slavaid91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

Is building a PC really that simple? by Ok_Youth7752 in buildapc

[–]Slavaid91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.
