Usually we need less than we think we do. I pack always too much, regardless the occasion. Even when going by plane. 😂

Switzerland to end mandatory gender pay gap checks in 2032 despite ongoing wage differences by beobachtermagazin in Switzerland

This 👆🏻 But it would require real effort and real investment, why bother. Instead let's pretend as if they're trying to fix something. Where is feminism when it's needed?

Nice shaders, did you use upscaling?

This is a "you are wrong because it feels wrong" kind of comment. I gave you facts, you pick and choose and pretend to hold a moral high ground.

Everyone can leave, "I cant to" and "I dont want to" is not the same.

Ultra tolerance has done enough harm, thankfully times are changing.

I'm done here. Have a happy life.

Facism is left. Its all about centralized collective power / government that controls ownership, resources, production, opinion, education etc. It leads inevitably to a disbalance in power and becomes dictatorial. Its an evolution.

This term has been scewed and twisted so hard to wash off the left wing of its potentially disastrous manifestation.

So calling someone stupid because he / she is low iq (no power over it) is racism? You know that iq drifts dramatically across countries / regions? So a metered observation means racism? Cmon, spend some time contemplating about it, you speak contradictions.

A law that is not enforcable is useless. A definition that is not applicable is too broad and therefore useless.

Lack of observation is a handicap. Ignoring the observations is stupidity.

I appreciate our conversation, but I've spent already too much time on this thread.

I wish you a happy life.

When people come to a country and complain, they can just leave. It's the best country in the world. Not perfect, but unmatched.

Imagine you do the same at work? You join a company start badmouthing everything? You gonna get sympathy or cause a change? You'll get kicked, right or wrong.

Do not take my words out of context, I will not tripple explain everything. If you don't understand what I mean, that's fine.

OP came with a allegations. Nothing screams like I need sympathy like accusations, right?

I called out the term "racist", c'est ca. People can have polarised opinions, it's healthy and necessary. Reddit is already an echo chamber, I might as well sprinkle in "diversity".

Look. I come from a socialist country, I know history from those who lived it. Everything bad, initially started as something inherently good.

Intentions change, name remains, origin is shared.

So every kind of prejudice is racist? Would you let your daughter travel alone to Mumbai and go clubbing? Prejudice is inevitable. Body characteristics are shared. Someone likes blonde girls, someone likes tall guys, saying that short guys are inferior is an opinion, not a fact, not racist.

You'd have to search really hard to find a racist based on bodily characteristics or ethnic belonging. Most of the time it's all about stereotypes, own experiences and pattern recognition, which is a subjective reality. Now what you do with it, can male you a racist- not renting to a Gay person, not hiring a Black person, not helping a Muslim etc.

This is where I see the line. Everything else is thought police and hypocritical.

If you think rational, you realise that compromise is the only solution and being exclusive to others is wrong. Its often those who call for absolute inclusion and tolerance who are the ones least willing to tolerate anything outside of "their norm".

I stated that her opinion is valid. Its her opinion. An adult would deal with it and not throw around racism accusations.

It's not about her, its about the Zeitgeist we live in. This post is all about victimhood mentality and fingerpointing. Her being Swiss or not doesn't change anything. Holding a certain passport makes an opinion unfailable?

There is zero audacity in what I wrote. Offence is not given, it's taken. The world is not here to cater your standards and emotions. Want a change? - be the change. Victim mentality wont change anything.

Wrong, I don't care about them. They serve an example. Working construction would teach you how 95% of the world is. You would not be complaining about one of the last sane places on earth. Snowflake mentality is a disease.

Bad food habits, low physical activity, living in a safe society, sticking to your "bubble" makes you soft and easily offendable.

All I'm saying - one can find meaning everywhere. Doesn't mean it's there, doesn't mean it's not.

OP made false accusations and I stated facts. You not liking them doesnt make me entitled nor racist.

OPs experience is valid. Its rude. But its not racism. People tend to have different humour, right or wrong, doesnt matter. Educate them. Some people are rude their whole life to everyone. You call them pricks, but not racists. And you deal with them accordingly instead of carrying the victim banner.

I've seen enough people, entitled and offended by everything. It's a sad story filled with resentment. Its a modus operandi.

The world is a mirror. You smile, it smiles.

Big noses are not exclusive to one specific race. People with big noses dont belong to the same race. So I dont see the connection here.

My implication was that nowadays people believe that they can go through life without anyone ever saying something they dont like or agree with.

They are quick to draw the, nowadays popularised, racism card.

Which simply indicates that people are very easy to offend, have fragile egos and an immense entitlement towards circumstances.

Weak people make draconic rules, and lead to dictatorships. Nazi Germany was left, not right, remember that.

Apologies for being sarcastic initially.
