I like it for the unifying experience it is. We all do it, it becomes part of our education and gives us the feel of all being Swiss besides our different cultures and languages.

But seeing every votes results (Röstigraben, cities vs countryside) proves that it is not a huge success 😅

One thing I don’t like at all is that in order to climb high hierarchy in some companies, you have to be a former military officer, preferably Swiss-German (bonus point if you’ve done a shit economy school).

When I started learning my job we could do our military service AT work as it was considered to be an essential nation wide security job. I did not profit from this but the deal was to go to work in military uniform, getting your salary paid by the military while continuing to work for your boss. Definitely a win for the company and a huge financial loss for the confederation. They stopped that when they realized it was dumb to pay salaries to people not actually working for you.

That’s what I heard as well, the few grenadiers I know told me the same.

It seems that they are the only ones having to do the usual crap and suffering.

In Switzerland we do mandatory military service or public service if you don’t do the military.

Both are ok, I only know the military but it’s a good experience. At first you don’t really want to do it but then you have a lot of fun, drink tons of cheap beers and learn to shoot (skill that you have to maintain for several years with mandatory shooting sessions).

Overall it’s more of a school of life rather than military school. I knew people in the medics and they did jack shit. I was in DCA and did jack shit. Most people I talk to did dumb stuff and most of us have good and funny memories from that time.

Is this a useful military force? Probably not, but we are Switzerland so who cares?

I also didn’t think citing a message on something Musk owns as a gesture of emphasis would be seen in an anti-US-politics community as synonymous with supporting Musk.

It does not, or it should not. It’s more like that Xitter (wordplay of X + twitter + shitter if you didn’t know) has been kind of the worst part of internet for years now, even before Musk. When shit goes bad on internet it’s either 4chan or twitter.

So it makes sense that the leftist pro libre gang of Linux users we are would hate anything about that website.

I was only responding to your initial question (which is funny), who is Xitter link?

I’m pretty sure that posting the same link by using an alternative Xitter interface (like Nitter was but I don’t know them) would have avoid you any backlash on lemmy.

It’s not only the salute but other things as well.

It’s about him being able to do plausible deniability, the salute taken alone could be a mistake from a stressful situation speaking in front of thousands of people, or a badly executed heart gesture, or whatever excuses people are saying.

But the salute + pepe the frog + kek + plenty of other signs = a trail of shit.

Separated they are only unimportant signs that those who knows knows, the rest will just dismiss them. But all together they form a message.

Besides, the salute was debunked by who ? There’s plenty of historians, journalists and whatever in the world saying that it was indeed a nazi salute.

Hell even US neo nazis said it was a nazi salute, they celebrated it.

First result, and there are several communities that took this decision a week or two ago.

No one (probably). You used a twitter link.

Those are morally forbidden in our world, and on several communities as well as written in the rules.

I never go to sleep at the same time because my shifts at work are never the same.

In a week it can go to sleep from 21h wake up at 0430, to sleep at 6h wake up at 18 max.

Same with meal time. Don’t work irregular shifts on the long run, its exhausting and bad for health.

While we talk in the backstage about creating a French learning community on jlailu, you can start with our magical word. Explained by an American girl on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GSeaDQ6sPs0

Most of political posts are about the US so with only a few keywords you can filter out 80% of the shit news (mine are Trump, Musk, Democrat, Republican).

Then you add some if you want (Israel ? Palestine ? Russia ? Or some of your country specific themes)

The only problem is that if the words are on an image and not title it won’t be filtered. But you can fine tune your blacklist with time by blocking url, users, communities and instances.

That + mostly browsing by subscribed made my lemmy the perfect happy bubble.

Thanks Blaze. OP you can come to our forum libre, there’s a daily post where you can try to write a little French every morning (CET time zone).

Or simply create a post for asking your questions.

On est gentils, on n’est pas en grève mais nous n’avons n’a pas de cookies, seulement des croissants et pains au chocolat.

Let me in!

Force poop down people’s ass in the streets.

Some would even have the right for the in and out treatment, so they get crazy getting fucked by their own shit.

But what if they taste delicious?

I’m pretty sure humanity in space will go full dog mode, meaning we will have two basic questions:

1. Can I eat it?
2. Can I fuck it?

And yet most people living in Europe are happier, safer and live an overall better life.

GDP is cool, unless 99% of it goes into someone else pocket and he decided not to share.

ml is more like a Chinese lovers tankie instance. Not a Chinese one.

I think OP is asking about a Chinese nationals one, written in mandarin and used by people living there.

I don’t have access to my desktop wallpaper at the moment, but it’s kind of the same red and black colors.

Double V (pronounced double vé, so it’s double you in English).

www is “double vé double vé double vé” in France, but often said “vévévé” in Switzerland. I believe that’s coming from the German speaking part of the country and adapted to French language.
