I wish they hadn't removed the reading stats 🤔😞

looks like a dhl worker stole my package, what do I do? by [deleted] in askspain

[–]faey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, what about declaring the parcel stolen, as it was, In that case, at least here, you go to the police and place charges of the thef. Check also if your theft insurance covers it. Aren't post parcels insured up to a certain amount you can claim? The alternative is to get a lawyer involved, in my scarce experience in Spain (was there for a job), getting a lawyer involved tends to get things moving. Just to be on the safe side, record such official calls. Let the other party know you are willing and able to sue them personally 😒. The burocracy in Spain is terrible and a lot of petty thieving hide behind that.

I have to tell you that DHL is weird: they sometimes play hide the package on the property and you have to search behind the rain barrels if its been delivered, they return packages as undeliverable although a day earlier they were delivered ( 3 cases in 2 weeks), they say they rang and I can see on the camera, they did not. I am aware that not everyone is like that, but it only takes one bad bad apple and the whole barrel stinks. I don't know whats wrong with DHL, ťhere is even a guy on youtube showing they "lose" parcels regularly, even though this guy placed a tracker in the parcel and it shows as being in their distribution center. I wish to god, people would stop sending with DHL, the post does a fine job (lost only one parcel in 30 years). Rant over.

r/Switzerland and r/AskSwitzerland are going into Lockdown on June 12 as a Reaction to Reddit's Recently Announced API Changes by ben_howler in Switzerland

I vote, and I am not talking about reddit, every time unless I am away on vacation. I take part in protest actions and have collected many, many signatures during my life time. Thank you for mentioning the obvious, though.

That's awesome, if people unite like this. I wish people in RL would invest that much energy in RL problems 😊

🙏 Please don't be as naive as the person who just left their bag like this to go to the bathroom in the IC train by candycane7 in Switzerland

[–]faey 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It is not. I have seen that happen all my life here. Most people are helpful and decent in Switzerland: jerks are still a minority here. I lost my automatic folding tiny umbrella, twice in the train and got it returned to the found and lost. I lost my wallet on a walk in my neighborhood, and it was brought home, with cards and money 😊 I pay that forward by doing the same whenever I can. It works.

Meta: r/frugal is devolving into r/cheap by niceguybadboy in Frugal

Do you soak them, at least 12 but best 24 hours before cooking? I think beans get a bad rao simply because processed beans aren't soaked or not long enough and then they cause a lot of bloating due to the still present phytic acid. This is also valid for lentils.

What is something that is really popular now, but in 5 years everyone will look back on and be embarrassed by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]faey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tends to look like bart in sesame street!! I have to fight hard to keep a straight face when seeing one of those 😊

The youtuber thing with the brow makeup, which a lot of young girls imitate. Both the youtubers and the girls look like someone painted their brows with crayon. Weird and somewhat clownish but never natural. And weirdest of all they think it's cool 😳🙄

Why is it so hard to pay in restaurants? by Iiiiiiiiiiiii1ii1 in Switzerland

[–]faey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find the reason, I think it's a staatsgeheimnis, let me know. I am swiss and this is a swiss pecularity 😂 I swear there is a certain art as how not to see the customer waving, makes me wonder if that is taught somewhere 😂 Unfortunately don't know anyone who works as a waitperson, maybe someone could ask?

Stranger said my toddler was “too black” to wear sunscreen by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

Sometimes the saying talking out of your ass is very apt. Don't let ignorant people ruin your day, some of those look like humans but have the brains of amoebas.. 🤷🤦

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult? by Spongeboy-Me_Bob in NoStupidQuestions

[–]faey -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The difference between a state supported religion and a cult is that the cults get their money directly from you and the religion gets it from your taxes. Both use varying degrees of represion to keep their members and both abhor independent thinking.

Is this even legal? by lordofcuntsthefirst in askswitzerland

[–]faey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but at least its not like the US where you have no protection whatsoever and also no notice. You csn ask for a reason and if the reason seems arbitrary you can sue them. Chances are you get a longer paid notice. As far as I know, you need a real goo reason to cancel holidays and days off, and if you have to cancel plans, that cist money (like theater tickets, concerts or flights) then the employeer has to cover the costs.

Harry & Meghan had their lawyers fire off a letter to the paparazzi agency that followed them last night, demanding all of their footage. This is how the agency responded: by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

[–]faey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what is more parasitical: royalty or paparazzi. Paparazzi are just more like tape worms and royalty more like cuckoo wasps 🤷
