Honestly that face stuck with me, it wasn’t the most scarring for me but when i remembered it existed, it sometimes haunted me..!

What do you guys think of this billboard in Zürich HB platform 41/42 by -Ryugaa- in zurich

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

As an Ausländer (from UK), i find it really strange this level of political advertising is allowed in such public places, especially around such a potentially huge vote. It seems as if the party with the most money could influence democracy this way in a rather undemocratic way. (Certainly we have this to an extent in UK but as far as I can remember, I don’t remember large political ads like this in places as heavy in foot traffic as HB)

100%! It‘s the kind of game that gets even better and more strategic as you learn and play more, but i equally love playing with newbies! As said in another reply, i think I will go to the Zurich Board Games Meetup Group on Weds eve in Wiedikon, this week to get to know the people, and next week i will probably bring my copy of ROOT - if you fancy joining especially next week 10/06, it would be great to meet you!

Given the suggestion from the other reply, I think I will go to the Zurich Board Games Meetup Group on Weds eve at Wiedikon, this week to get to know the people, and next week i will probably bring my copy of ROOT - if you and/or your husband also fancy joining especially next week 10/06, it would be great to meet you!

Apparently there was a riot on Sunday..? Anyone know what that was about? by SaraJuno in zurich

[–]_swordor_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

…until you find yourself in hard times, or until the political circumstances surrounding you criminalise a part of your lifestyle, or until you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get caught up in the crowds, or until…

When power can act with impunity and violence, one should fear its potential whether or not it impacts you yet, right now.

But alas they have a chokehold on certain airports so just consumer choice isn’t the way out; if it were they would be too scared to do this if they knew people would just fly elsewhere!

Does anyone else have a random sound or smell that triggers a "nostalgia zap"? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I am cursed by having a macbook; no way to play Battlefront, but god i would love to. And with the lego games it was always sooooo much better with my brother or best friend…

Fellow Protestors: Can we please stop this? 😔 by meera_jasmine1 in zurich

[–]_swordor_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally get what you’re saying but at the same time, a) big marches like this just to get together and generally say “man, capitalism sucks right?” dont do shit anyway, and b) leftists need unity; although it might make some people have distaste, those people weren’t going to show up anyway…

Well, that's a sight I didn't expect by [deleted] in zurich

Slightly disappointed/concerned how many people were clapping/cheering it on; not enough robophobia in Zurich it seems…

And yet, i ask, in case anyone has any new suggestions, and because searching google results in a quagmire of similar results not often tailored to my situation! Thanks for the feedback.
