When one watches Swiss television archive footage or old pictures up to the 50s. The most striking thing is that not a lot changed : buildings are the same, festivals are the same. Everything that happened is still relatable.
Maybe the last fifteen years saw the most changes in Switzerland’s recent history with an acceleration in population change. People with Swiss ancestry tend to now constitute a minority in classrooms. I dislike that but I couldn’t say it was lived as a catastrophe.

I miss my grandparents. But I'm glad that they don't have to see the current levels of bullshit. Although all of them were better equipped to deal with bullshit than I am. They were all so resilient and optimistic.
Also, I fear I'll be unemployed in a few years when bossman sells the company, and I'll never find a new job. Luckily, I don't have wife/children. Imagine being unemployed when you have children. It's horrible. I know because my father was unemployed for some time in the late eighties.

No.24638
>>24637> the bestExcept you have to live in a shithole, not have a car, eat Aldi-junk, use up all of your assets, and you can't save for retirement, so it means you will also be poor in your old age. You will have to live like some eternal student, except you are not a student anymore. You regress. You can only dismantle everything you have built in life, until it's all gone. Worse: everything your ancestors built will be dismantled, too. That wardrobe has been in the family through two world wars? Antiques, you are not allowed to have that, turn it into money. And they do make visits to check every closet and every drawer, to make sure there is nothing you hide. If they think you have too much or too good a quality of anything, it will have to be sold. If you have too many pots or too much cutlery, they will decide you don't really live alone and cut you to 0. What's too much? Arbitrary.
As for children, if you have any, you will be too poor to dress them in real clothes, feed them real food or give them an education beyond what is offered by the government. No music lessons, no skiing, and they'll have to eat junk food. Imagine feeding your children that shit Aldi-bread with some Aldi boiled sausage, and dressing them in track suites from Tako. Of course, they will have to go to a shit school with daily robberies and knife attacks, because you live in a shit place, and they will come home and talk like Turks, without articles, prepositions or cases. They adapt. If you have a daughter, she will start to wear a headscarf, and if you have a son, he will want to be circumcised.
It's a horror-movie.
The only way to survive on Bürgergeld is too have some undocumented side-hustle, to steal food from garbage containers, etc.
It's so much easier to have a job and know you make enough money to have a roof over your head and if 500g of black lentils are more expensive than the red lentils, it doesn't bother you, you can just buy black lentils. And you don't have to buy that god-awful cheap Ja! Oatmeal, either. And if there are ripe heirloom-tomatoes on offer, you can buy them. You don't have to buy green pre-packaged tomatoes. And when your washing machine is broken, you can order parts to fix it. And if you can't do that, you can pay someone to fix it or even buy a new one. On Bürgergeld? You can try to save up for a washing machine over five years, or pay it off on installments for five years, and then it's broken again and you will try to wash your clothes in the shower by hand, because of course you can't even afford a bathtub, and of course you will smell.
Life is so much better when you are not poor.

One coworker noted to another that I am not as
gung-ho about my job as I used to be. Heard this from the second guy who related their conversation. Told him he was right. I'm burning out. Going through the motions, upholding the standard and expectations I have established for myself but without actually caring. I used to tell them I was fueled by adrenalin and fear of failure. What has changed? I no longer fear failure. What's to fear? I have proven that I can do this job in my sleep.
I also tell people my job is primarily to put up with bullshit. That is grinding on me. Especially after this latest management shake-up. The remaining heads are all jockeying for position, trying to impress. I couldn't care less what the new bosses think. They'll see my work. Acknowledge my competence and eventually get out of the way and let me do my job. Bosses. How many do I even have? Too many.

>>24713The thing with qualified labor is that they can underpay you and you'll still prefer to work here than to switch to another place and spend efforts for learning their job-specific things. On the other hand you can under-perform and they'll still prefer to keep you rather than wait half a year when a new guy (maybe) learns anything and will outperform you.
Since it's long-term relationships, it's better for both parties to act nice and honest, pay well and work well, but it doesn't always happen.
With tradies it's simpler, quit whenever you want, fire whoever you want.

Overall another productive day. I ended up cataloguing all the books that arrived on Friday and translating some stuff.
Also played some games with friends online.
Had a good lunch too.
Last night I drank some wine and it was really good. Didn't get drunk but the wine tasted really good.

>>25057> They say mocking religion is a sign of the edgy and inexperienced youth, and when you get older, you make your peace with the whole topWell, that's how it worked for me. They say, "religion is opium for the people", but people need opium. Life isn't easy, even in 1-st world, eventually you get old, sick and die, and same thing will happen to everyone you love. "Let's spend money on food rather than churches" is equal to "Let's remove painkillers from the hospice but feed patients 7 times a day". This is inhumane. Also many people naturally crave for something transcendent, out of ordinary world.
Moreover, if you deprive people of the opportunity to cope through religion, they'll find other ways which will most likely be worse, because church is a long established institution, shaped by experience, integrated into culture and society. The aforementioned "fedora /r/atheists" are a good example, they're pretty far from what you expect from "open-minded rational thinkers".

Why do we view it so negative when parents beat children? I wish my parents would have beaten me to force me to do what would have been good for me. Like excelling at school and sports and social life instead of wasting my youth in front of a computer. If they had beaten me often, there's a chance that my life would not have been turned as crappy as it has. Still crappy, because I'm inherently worthless and inferior piece of subhuman shit, but maybe not as crappy.
Maybe I could even have done something good for humanity, I could have become a dictator, and I could have killed a few billion niggers and sandniggers to protect the environment. The planet is overpopulated, and billions must die.

She just can't fit everything she uses for cooking into the dishwasher, so it has to sit outside until I come home in the evening. Because I work all day, she has to be at home with a dirty kitchen, which is unfair to her, because I get to sit in a tidy office instead. This is sexist, and I really need to better.

It's like with food: mid-level plebs can afford to eat out sometimes, but they only can afford 'restaurants' that microwave shit instead of cooking. How do you know they only microwave shit? Easy: it's affordable to a pleb. Frozen pizza at restaurants is now 20€. But the plebs are ready to waste that kind of money, because eating at restaurants makes them feel like they aren't total plebs, especially the pleb cunts, lol.

>>25465>Did Karl even have a kids?No idea.
>the MG was the biggest post 1968 radical leftist organization in Germany in the 1980s and 1990sAfaik DKP was actually bigger until the 90ies with roughly 40.000 members and then going into rapid decline. MG got huge in members in the late 80ies/early 90ies reaching 10.000 (or maybe rather called affiliates?) but in 1991 and after dissolving and turning into GS they would sell less copies (~7000) whereas at some point in the early 70ies some issues would sell up to 37.000 copies. In 1990 MSZ could still sell 18.000 apparently. No idea what the current issues make in numbers but since GS has participated in podcasting and Ole has recently been rather prominent etc. it is probably up a little compared to 10 years ago.

>>25466There is this dissertation about the MG that says early 1980s was the peak with around 20.000 people. The DKP would be a party, though.
I don't think there recent presence in some leftist formats really is increasing the numbers. They reprinted some of the old books and some close people like Renate published new books. I don't think Ole really is MG though. But I hardly follows this.

Because that's what people are best at.

What you’re referring to is what’s called “theory.” And when I said I’m not interested in theory, what I meant is, I’m not interested in posturing–using fancy terms like polysyllables and pretending you have a theory when you have no theory whatsoever. So there’s no theory in any of this stuff, not in the sense of theory that anyone is familiar with in the sciences or any other serious field. Try to find in all of the work you mentioned some principles from which you can deduce conclusions, empirically testable propositions where it all goes beyond the level of something you can explain in five minutes to a twelve-year-old. See if you can find that when the fancy words are decoded. I can’t. So I’m not interested in that kind of posturing. Žižek is an extreme example of it. I don’t see anything to what he’s saying. Jacques Lacan I actually knew. I kind of liked him. We had meetings every once in awhile. But quite frankly I thought he was a total charlatan. He was just posturing for the television cameras in the way many Paris intellectuals do. Why this is influential, I haven’t the slightest idea. I don’t see anything there that should be influential.

Discovered today that my voicemail box was not set up. Likely hasn't been active since I switched phones. How many months ago? Nine? Everyone I know just sends a text about whatever. Only found out now because my glasses were taking too long at the optometrist. Called them. Ready last week. He couldn't leave a message to inform me, and I ignore all unfamiliar phone numbers.
No.25501
>>25500>my voicemail box was not set upGood, same here. I'm not saying sending voicemails is the same as rape, but it is!!! It forces me to turn off my music or my video I am watching. So it stays off, and if someone wants to send me a voicemail so bad, he can use some voice to text program and send me a message, which I read when I feel like it, and which I can quickly proofread in case I want to double check something, without awkwardly and blindly jumping through an overly verbose voice message.
Please refer to pic related about the correct way to deal with voicemail senders.

>>25527Imageboards live off the energy of their posters, and the only high energy poster is gone. Ironically, the smug german hating leftists left soon afterwards when they noticed that an imageboard full of smug german hating leftists probably sucks. The people that are left aren't enough to maintain a background noise that would give visitors the impression that this is a living board, so no one will stay. Funnily enough, every time I mentioned in the past that some base activity is a quality aspect in itself, someone went NOOOOOOO... but now it's clearly visible that it is. And no, it has nothing to do with this and that not being banned, like the soyjak thread (or the assman and commiecat poster earlier). If the board was healthy, that thread would already be on page 5 and no one would even care. Also people having GF and no time isn't the reason, that's just a convenient excuse. If the board was interesting, people would make time to post, and there would be new posters to compensate for losses. But there is not even a need to make excuses. No one wants to be on a board where they feel alone and nothing happens. Being boring is the cardinal sin of an imageboard, way worse than being cancerous.
