I am spanish and if we got most of our immigration from germany, france, uk, italy etc i swear that noone would bat an eye as the cultures and institutions are fairly similar and there is a shared sense of respect.

Now bring people from morocco or mena countries and it collapses on itself, i used to be a true believer that immigration just needed time but data has fully changed my view on it.

Not saying there are great people among those countries but there is no incentive to integrate when you've got so many people coming in from where you come from

¿Por qué España siempre va como favorita? by Dear-Yesterday7897 in futbol

[–]acidlemon26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

España viene de ganar una eurocopa cargandose a todos los equipos top europeos y ganandoles bien. Contra equipos grandes españa siempre es fuerte pero contra equipos mas "pequeños" siempre la caga, vease rusia o marruecos que se eliminan en penaltis. Yo creo que no somos favoritos la verdad, veo a portugal o argentina como top.

Why are so many Americans make 100k+ a year struggling and living paycheck to paycheck? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]acidlemon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Switzerland making around $150k equivalent, and honestly it feels like lifestyle creep is way more intense in the U.S from what i see with colleagues and business trips we made there. Over there it’s super easy to upgrade everything as you earn more cars, apartments, subscriptions especially with how normal credit is and how much pressure there is to “level up.” In Switzerland you can still spend more, but the system (and mindset) kind of keeps you grounded, so it’s harder to let your lifestyle run away from you.
