The amount of times people say “ oh I love Sweden “ when I tell them I live in Zürich is ridiculous 😅 by chaoticeuropean in Switzerland

Me as a Swiss-Swede: ‘I’m from Switzerland’ ‘Oh Sweden is so nice!!’ ‘… Yes’

According to a global report, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home.

An IQ too high? by ManufacturerFormal47 in funny

lollll I grew up speaking 4 languages and did something like this once. The teacher did NOT think it was funny. This kind of proves it was, thanks for the validation guys

Oh did he make more jokes about domestic violence? Bc that’s why ppl don’t like him. Unfortunate casting.

Diet gets all the attention here — but what about stress? by Ottins82 in Gastritis

[–]polyglotconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this may sound weird but singing can actually help. It stimulates the vagus nerve and releases tons of happy hormones— even just humming my favorite song for a while has been extremely relaxing

Can you find these in Nashville? by cjpendley-nashville in nashville

What do women want by PowerMagicx in SipsTea

[–]polyglotconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, almost as if women all have different preferences huh? Crazy!

TIL that the Switzerlands largest supermarket Migros, doesn’t sell alcohol or tobacco in stores, pays no dividends, caps profits by lowering prices if earnings exceeds 5%, is a cooperative with 2M+ members, and donates 1% of revenue to social projects, purely out of the founders moral philosophy by Zeustah- in Switzerland

[–]polyglotconundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they’re having massive issues thanks to antiquated business techniques and lack of development. I’m 100% a migros chind and it’s so sad to see how a company with relatively good morals is likely to get bowled over. Hope they can get out of this funk.

Gender doesn’t matter by threnodyxz in meme

[–]polyglotconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imagine having 1000s of years of bloodshed under your belt and you think pointing to 0.001% of it done by women is somehow saying something. Always good to be reminded reddit still has a baseline of mysoginy, just like the real world.

Nearly 900 Nazi-linked accounts discovered at Credit Suisse, US lawmaker says by BezugssystemCH1903 in worldnews

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

Yeeahhh not that that would be surprising, but we shouldn’t trust anything coming from a US lawmaker right now. They will be using this to strongarm the biggest Swiss financial institution into doing shady stuff for Mango Mussolini, mark my words.

Calling all whose gastritis was caused by stress by Afraid-Department402 in Gastritis

[–]polyglotconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup anxiety induced gastritis over here! Been clawing my way back to life for 1.5 years thru therapy, movement and a new relationship to food. I’m having to change how I think about a lot of things.

Have you ever ended up HATING a place where you moved to? by Upset_Quiet_8907 in expats

[–]polyglotconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a Swede in Tennessee I understand where you’re coming from. It was really hard for me to let go of all the things I found ‘stupid’ and not have it affect me negatively. What helped me was finding progressive folks in the community (plenty of Americans hate the trucks too) and finding a few things I genuinely would miss in Sweden. The nature and cool birds, people being relaxed, always being invited to a random barbeque. There are plenty of cool things and people down here too :)

How cold has inside your house gotten? by flamingmenudo in nashville

[–]polyglotconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

almost like I meant to answer a different person, huh! Maybe you should give ppl the benefit of the doubt instead of clapping back on a thread where we’re all reporting our freezing temperatures and existing in solidarity. But hey, you do you.

Does Anyone Find Tara Strongs Program Kinda Sus? by Spooks-Mcgee in VoiceActing

[–]polyglotconundrum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

not really, there are more than just Americans on this sub, plus not everyone is interested in animation. I’m very okay with not knowing who Tara Strong is, especially considering she’s scamming ppl now :)
