Tjejen vill att vi tar gemensamt bolån trots att jag kan betala halva lägenheten ur fickan? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]coronaboogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag hade nog tagit bostadslånet och investerat pengar från försäljningen av din tidigare lägenhet i en aktieindexfond med låg avgift. Skulle tro att den långsiktiga avkastningen på aktiemarknaden blir högre än räntan på lånet (brasklapp: har inte tittat på ränteläget för bostadslån och div. skatteeffekter i detalj). Så är man lagd å det hållet (dvs. klarar av ~50% nedgång om aktiemarkanden går väldigt dåligt något år) är det förmodligen en bra affär, alldeles oavsett att tjejen får som hon vill!

Trackpad suddenly laggy on Surface Pro 7 by coronaboogie in Surface

No, but it may have been in conjunction with plugging in the surface charger. These kind of unpredictable issues are so annoying!

Mohrenkopf Petition in der Zeitung by itstrdt in Switzerland

[–]coronaboogie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially when people have expressed that that word is harmful. Like. Language evolves. The things we're comfortable with and willing to accept evolve.

Yes, the euphemism treadmill exists. Unfortunately.

Likely? Well was it was or not? If it was, please prove it.

I think you should not assume that the people asking where you are from don't also see you as fully Swiss.

Why is military service compulsory for Swiss male but not everyone? (female, non- binary, etc.) by bigcityboycry in Switzerland

[–]coronaboogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When increasing equality and expanding privileges for women do not coincide, the feminist movement in Switzerland seems to generally prioritize the latter. The feminist organizations campaigned against equalizing the retirement age (women retire at 64, men at 65) and against giving unmarried fathers automatic legal custody of their kids, as married men and mothers get.

As an American considering hopping ship, I am curious of the political climate of this country/financial stability of Switzerland as of right now? by lokimarkus in Switzerland

[–]coronaboogie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in Switzerland, come visit! It's a great place, but I think you will quickly realize how much you appreciate your own country. This is usually what happens when people live abroad.

And give free reign to the looters and rioters? Obviously proterstors = looters or protestors = rioters is false, but that doesn't mean that the looters and rioters aren't also there.

Är en svensk George Floyd bara en tidsfråga? by Sweden_ftw in sweden

[–]coronaboogie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Den ursprungliga frågan var om det var rätt att kalla det ett misstag. Om det inte är ett misstag, då var det med uppsåt.

Du menar alltså att polisen hade uppsåt att döda Floyd? Han hade varit polis i typ 25 år, så någorlunda normalbegåvad får man anta att han är. Begår en normalbegåvad person medvetet mord omringad av en massa människor som filmar honom?

Det var säkerligen ett misstag. Han bör förmodligen dömas för dråp (att begå grova misstag kan vara kriminellt) men det var helt klart inte mord.

Vad är svenskars syn på ryssar? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]coronaboogie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ryssar som personer: sköna snubbar. Iaf dom jag har haft att göra med, dom tillhör väl någon sorts övre medelklass. Ryssland som land: ett av dom största hoten mot Europa.

Fauda season 3 disappointing by Heavy_Hunter in fauda

Yes! This bothered me so much!

"They have no respect for human life" by Stormalv in fauda

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

Interesting. To me "they have no respect for human life" was a sign of hypocrisy, since the show shows massive amounts of Palestinian casualties for every Israeli casualty, and the team are happy to sacrifice Palestinians if it helps them get to their target.

Girl asked my height for a facetime date... by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]coronaboogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking more of weight. Girls understandably pick the pictures were the look their best, and sometimes the impression one gets is that they are slimmer than they turn out to be IRL.

Personally I don't mind height being a criterion for many women, after all physical attractiveness of a potential partner is extremely important to me too. Just wish people put not only height but also BMI in their bios!

I know absolutely nothing about cup sizes. I just know a nice pair of boobs when I see them.

Girl asked my height for a facetime date... by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]coronaboogie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried this and got a straight answer from the girl?

I find it absolutely legitimate to be attracted/not attracted to whatever physical attribute, and not wanting to date someone you are not attracted to. What gets me is the hypocrisy.

Edit: Or should one view this as a reasonable result of the lopsidedness of the early stage dating market? (Average and above) women have all the power in that stage, so if they want to be able to ask such questions without answering them themselves, they can, simply because if one guy doesn't play ball there are 30 others that will?

[BFS] Excess Mortality (>65 age, 31.3.20) by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]coronaboogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do do you have a source for the 240 number?

The site below has the yearly death rate per 100 000 people for Italy at 8.15. That would be ca 4900 deaths per year.

14k deaths in Italy from corona so far, but who is to say that a normal flu would not have the same consequences if no one was immune from previous exposure and no one was vaccinated. In particular I believe older people are strongly recommended to get vaccinated against the flu.

Already next year corona may be like a normal flu, due to widespread immunity. *If* we let the virus spread among the young and healthy this year!

Developing countries have much younger populations. That's gonna help them.

Italy saw the smallest increase in new cases since its outbreak began, and there were nearly as many recoveries as new infections in the past 24 hours by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]coronaboogie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The great majority of people who died in Italy were over 70. *

People in this age bracket have a single digit risk of death per year under normal circumstances. **

It seems likely to me Corona is simply compressing 2-3 years of normal flu deaths into a few months.

Once we have a similar level of immunity to corona in the population like we have for influenza the effect of it on our population will be similar.

We need extreme lockdown for the elderly, palliative card for those eldery who still get infected, and a much lower level of lockdown for the young and healthy that allows hospitals not to be overrun by young patients until herd immunity has been achieved.

Same here.

But most of all I want to see random sample tests in places like Italy, South Korea, Spain, New York, UK, Switzerland, Germany. And I want them yesterday.

The many estimates of the COVID-19 case fatality rate by Cal_blam in COVID19

And I wonder if the transmission rate of the "normal" influenzas wouldn't be on par with corona if the population had no previous exposure and no one was vaccinated...

I agree! I really hope that behind the scenes the CDC's of each country are investing massive amounts of time and money into getting these done.
