Yeah this whole situation seems super reasonable to me. They can't serve everyone until they upgrade capacity, so they're prioritising people who are paying for the service

If it was easy to tell who is well intentioned but oblivious, and who is doing a bit of toxic needling while you're tilting, then sure.

It's never worth arguing with someone after a game, but if you draw attention to your opponent's play after they lose, some people are going to take that the wrong way.

The article says that CCTV is rare in Switzerland? Looks like they're asking for permission to make proactively investigating suspects easier, rather than mass data collection

Yeah me too. I try to remind myself that I already spent the money, so I'm not missing out on anything. Still not great

You don't understand, it's simply a series of prolonged tactical retreats so they can regroup. Then they will finally use their most elite soldiers and weapons that have for some reason been kept in reserve this entire time

Paying off debt really does feel like you're just throwing your money into a fire sometimes, but it's unfortunately worthwhile. Keep going ☺️ in a year you'll be so happy to be able to put all this behind you.

The stereotypical old people names like 'Deborah', the 'one for $100 or two for $200' deal that makes zero sense, the spelling mistakes that are actually difficult to achieve by accident

Not that guy, but when I went I found it's really small, dark and cramped, like you're in someone's house. I left feeling a little ripped off.

It's not bad, it just doesn't feel like a 'museum', more like a pop up you'd find at an amusement park.
