🥹

[slim swallow]

I would be investing way more if I lived there

[jagged ridge]

[slim swallow]

I think I make like 18k 😭

[slim swallow]

American companies

[jagged ridge]

i didnt know out of country people can invest in the usa stock market

[slim swallow]

I use Etoro, I think that's American too

[jagged ridge]

[slim swallow]

Idfk 😭 😭
My etfs are CFD's tho

[jagged ridge]

fidelity, robinhood

[slim swallow]

Robinhood is here too, but kinda restricted

[nimble jay]

Why wouldn't they

[jagged ridge]

wait so if i was born in Poland i can do the usa stock market ?

[stark steppe]

@floral stratus I GOT A BONE TO PICK

[jagged ridge]

if i never came to the usa ?

[nimble jay]

You think we got multiple 5 trillion dollar companies exclusively from US money?

😂

[jagged ridge]

interesting

i didnt know this

thats so cool lol

i couldve swore fidelity asked me for my social secutiry number

[slim swallow]

I could and would like only invest in ASML if I was locked to Dutch companies

Asml is on the American stock exchange tho I think

[jagged ridge]

sheeeeeesh thats wild

i bought micron early

but only 2 shares

up like 220% so far

[slim swallow]

I sold AMD wayyy too early

[jagged ridge]

too scared to keep adding to it cause like when is it gona stop?

[slim swallow]

Would've had over 30k now

[nimble jay]

If the company is public and the brokerage allows it you can invest in any market

I've had my amd since 2021, it was one of my first individual shares

[jagged ridge]

i refuse to sell my 220% gains.. idk why yall are so quick to sell

[slim swallow]

Bills

[jagged ridge]

ahh

[slim swallow]

Moving abroad requires money

[jagged ridge]

i luckily live with my parents

[slim swallow]

Health insurance fucking me over etc

[jagged ridge]

i pay them 300 a month

[nimble jay]

So you were in amd in an individual brokerage account and not a retirement one?

[slim swallow]

Yea

[nimble jay]

Ah

[jagged ridge]

yeah bro some of us arent in it til 59.5

[slim swallow]

Bought at like $81, sold at like $150

[jagged ridge]

thats way too long

[nimble jay]

Idc if I gotta wait till then if it is completely tax free

[jagged ridge]

this is true .. dang

[nimble jay]

I'll use it to buy a hypercar

[jagged ridge]

lmaoo

[slim swallow]

It's tax free for me too for now

[jagged ridge]

maybe hopefully have some grand kids by then and just spoil them

i probably would tbh.. a bit

[slim swallow]

When I die there will be nothing left (if my partner dies first)

[nimble jay]

Best thing you could do to an offspring is to tell them to leave the money alone and give them the account through a trust fund. $1 compounded over 1000 years becomes billions

[jagged ridge]

i want to immediately teach them about stock market.. probably before they turn 18 i want them to literally see how it works and practice with their own fund

[mint crag]

man idk if i should be happy or sad rn

[jagged ridge]

if thats legal.. if they cant do it till theyre 18 i will fund them

[nimble jay]

It is why Nordic old money is so damn rich. The fortune was founded in the 1600's and the principle was never taken out. So even a peasant who was right with it has left the current generation of their family with tens of millions today

[jagged ridge]

what road they choose later is up to them i guess.. but i want to teach them the stock market

[jagged ridge]

yeppppppp

[nimble jay]

I calculated thay if I contribute what I contribute right now for another 35 years and change nothing the account is gonna be $2,300,000

35 years being when I can take it out tax free

[jagged ridge]

to what tho? VOO ?

[nimble jay]

My Roth ira

[jagged ridge]

what is that invested in

do you run it yourself ?

[nimble jay]

Everything I'm in rn

[jagged ridge]

ahh

[nimble jay]

Of course

I would never let someone touch my money unless I won the lottery or married rich

[jagged ridge]

so you have no risky stuff there im guessing

[nimble jay]

Define risky

[jagged ridge]

like.. individual companies

youre all etf pretty much?

[nimble jay]

Cause I don't have naked calls or puts or crazy future derivatives in my Roth obviously

[nimble jay]

Of course

[jagged ridge]

cause you cant predict google for example.. but you can kinda predict VOO

[nimble jay]

All my individual companies are doing better than my etfs in that account

[jagged ridge]

like im happy to stay with like 10 shares of amazon for the next 10 years.. but who knows how mch that will grow

[jagged ridge]

me too lmao

but i got into etfs later than those companies

[nimble jay]

Once I have enough to burn I wanna become the market/house so to speak

I wanna get into selling covered derivatives in a separate brokerage account

[jagged ridge]

i gota get the 100,000 and then idk what from there

[nimble jay]

It's better than day trading

[jagged ridge]

i heard money changes people

[nimble jay]

More consistent

[jagged ridge]

well i want some physical gold

and maybe start some sort of business or something

[nimble jay]

Money would only change my house and my car collection

Not much else would change for me

[slim swallow]

Money would just lessen stress

[jagged ridge]

wouldnt change me much either.. id probably get comfy and try and get real good at pokemon battling for a while

[nimble jay]

Matter a fact my parents would probably stay in this house lol

They like it here

[jagged ridge]

idkkkk tho when i said id be lavish i sorta meant that

you will see me in a bmw suv bro

etc

probably no mansion tho

probably even no mcmansion ... something small and low key

[nimble jay]

Bruh

[lean bluff]

100k is nothing nowadays...

[jagged ridge]

build like a .... stock trading room or something

7 monitors

[jagged ridge]

where were you lmao

[jagged ridge]

67

[nimble jay]

Depends on context. Houses have gotten way too expensive and everything else has followed to some extent. But the average 1% of the world makes only $34,000 a year and will never see even an account with $10,000

So me having $100k before I turn 28 will be a w for me

[lean bluff]

Ohhh you live in US

[jagged ridge]

100,000 k is nothing nowadays they are right.. but having 100,000 in stocks? thats something

[nimble jay]

Huh

[jagged ridge]

it depends what you do with it

[nimble jay]

What currency did you think I was talking about lol

[jagged ridge]

if you want to spend it.. its nothing.. cant buy a house in nj.. you need like 800,000 for a decent house.. BUT 100,000 in stocks is something.. tell me you dropped 10,000 on amazon shares... thats something

[nimble jay]

?

[jagged ridge]

nuh uh

mebe a bit idk

its different idk

[lean bluff]

800.000 won't get you anything where I live

[chrome hawk]

It comes in two pieces? Hmm

[jagged ridge]

where do you live? wtf

[chrome hawk]

I haven’t seen that before

[nimble jay]

Do you live in Singapore or Hong Kong?

[lean bluff]

Zurich, Switzerland

[jagged ridge]

fr

interesting

[austere trellis]

Can confirm

[lean bluff]

Average house is listed at around 700.000 here

[nimble jay]

So, same

[jagged ridge]

ok but theres something called a mortgage

800,000 can do alot on a 700,000 house

thats another thing ill teach my kids.. credit lol

[austere trellis]

A respected apartment under 850k-900k in my neck of the woods is a hard find lol

[nimble jay]

$700,000 here is a 2 bed 2.5 bath maybe

Real estate is fucked

[lean bluff]

No, my bad, average house is listed at 1 million

[jagged ridge]

east coast

[lean bluff]

Cheap ones are 700k

[austere trellis]

Was about to say

[lean bluff]

Yeah

[jagged ridge]

ok thats decent

[austere trellis]

Cause we in the French part have it pretty bad

Well, about the same as that

[lean bluff]

I'm originally from Lugano

[nimble jay]

To afford a house you need at minimum a job that pays like $70 an hour

[lean bluff]

I moved to Zurich a year ago

[jagged ridge]

i would still feel safe mortgaging something with 800,000 MAYBE.. because 800,000 isnt end game

[austere trellis]

Ayyeee

Love that place

Ope wrong reply

[jagged ridge]

depends how much you drop and have saved alreadty

[austere trellis]

Meant to reply to this lol

[lean bluff]

Everything is so expensive, I'd love moving out from here

[nimble jay]

The issue is when houses were half the price, you needed say $35 an hour. $35 an hour or $70,000 a year was a normal job. But $35 an hour/70k a year is STILL a normal job... but houses have doubled

We are effectively working with 1 arm and one leg

[austere trellis]

If you work the right jobs, you're generally relatively well-paid in comparison, but it depends what you do

[lean bluff]

If I could move anywhere I want, I think I'd choose Portugal

[lean bluff]

Yess It's way better than Zurich but my parents wanted to move here so badly..

[austere trellis]

But yeah I agree that everything in basically all of Switzerland, but even more so in the big cities, is abhorrently expensive lmao

I know, being from Lausanne and all

[lean bluff]

Lausanne is pretty

[austere trellis]

It is, but it's not cheap

[lean bluff]

Zurich is the worst city ever

[nimble jay]

This is why I save and invest a majority of what I make now, moving out would cost me at minimum $42,000 a year. So I'd go from have plenty of disposable income and doing what I want to literally paycheck to paycheck and running up credit cards to float by

[lean bluff]

And people are extremely rude

[austere trellis]

I love the center of the city, but yeah it does fall off pretty bad pretty quick lol

I prefer Bern 100%

[lean bluff]

Lugano is the best looking

and Interlaken

[austere trellis]

Lake Lugano is amazing, so yeah there's no doubt that you guys have it good lol

We have it relatively good with the Léman in my region too, but Zürich is less fortunate

[lean bluff]

Yes and the locals are very friendly

[austere trellis]

My dad used to live there in the 70s, he said the same

[lean bluff]

Zurich would be good if it was cheaper for it's quality

It's just expensive and boring instead..

[austere trellis]

I get ya lol

[lean bluff]

Does he speak italian?

[austere trellis]

It's just the place to go if you work in finance or something of the sort, otherwise I wouldn't find myself there

[austere trellis]

Fluently, yes

[lean bluff]

Yes, both of my parents work in banking

[austere trellis]

He did his MD in Italy in the 60s and early 70s

[lean bluff]

That's amazing

[austere trellis]

Never taught us, that bugger

[lean bluff]

Ohh he is old

[austere trellis]

Yeah lol

[lean bluff]

Italian is such a great language

[austere trellis]

We only speak French and English, and some German cause of our Swiss-German family

[lean bluff]

I speak italian and french a little

I absolutely hate swiss-german 😭

The language is too bad

[austere trellis]

It's got a kinda twang to it

You either like it or you don't lmao

[lean bluff]

Not even germans understand it from what I've been told

[austere trellis]

Correct

[lean bluff]

I speak the language at an B1 level in 1 year after moving here

[austere trellis]

Impressive

I don't think I could pretend to be anything more than an A2 lol

[lean bluff]

It's extremely annoying to go from a latin language to this shit

[austere trellis]

Never needed to use it myself, given that while we have Swiss-German roots, everyone speaks French

[lean bluff]

I've always been shocked by our country being so small yet so diverse

[lean bluff]

I think many swiss germans move to the french cantons for peace

[austere trellis]

Possible, it's nice to be next to the lake every day lol

[lean bluff]

Yes and the air quality is way better

[austere trellis]

I've heard too

[lean bluff]

In german cantons the air quality is good 'till you go to Zurich 😭

I'd be like that

[austere trellis]

We can complain all we want, the worst parts of Switzerland remain pretty darn good when you look around us

[austere trellis]

Something something industrial districts

[lean bluff]

Oh yes

Our worst city looks better than the best cities in other neighbor countries

[austere trellis]

I once showed the news feed that we have to a French friend of mine, and he was like "Why do you have so few problems?"

[nimble jay]

I need to learn another language idk if Duolingo is still good

[lean bluff]

I feel like Olten is the worst city here

[lean bluff]

IT'S GOOD BUT THEY SHOULD ADD SWISS GERMAN

😭

[nimble jay]

I fucking suck at learning a new language I feel like I lose the ability to speak English when I try to learn another like my brain doesn't have the capacity for two of them

[austere trellis]

Well, the Swiss-Germans learn Hochdeutsch in school, so hey

[nimble jay]

Yet people know 3 or 4 shits crazy

[lean bluff]

I know 3

[austere trellis]

I'm happy with my 2 and a half

Father speaks like, 7

But I ain't doing none of that

[lean bluff]

C level in English and Italian, B in French and Swiss German and German, A in portuguese

[nimble jay]

Honestly insane

[maiden iris]

Ppl have told me duo sucks

[nimble jay]

Is A the best and decending downwards?

[austere trellis]

They built em different back then

[lean bluff]

It's good to learn the basics

[lean bluff]

A is the worst

[flint sparrow]

same

[nimble jay]

Ah

[lean bluff]

C is the best

It goes like A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2

[austere trellis]

Guy knows French, English, Spanish, Italian, Latin, German, and something or other

[chrome hawk]

That’s not 3 languages

[maiden iris]

I learned some Spanish from my friends better than I learned from duo 😭

[lean bluff]

OH MY GOD

[chrome hawk]

[austere trellis]

He's been around

[nimble jay]

They said fluent in 3

[lean bluff]

I meant languages i can speak fluently I guess

I'm B2 in French

[austere trellis]

Again, they built em differently back in the 40s

[austere trellis]

That's fluent, I'd say

[lean bluff]

I have problems whenever I'm trying to make a sentence but I understand both vocal and writing perfectly

[nimble jay]

They forced me to take second language in school for most of k-12 (5-17 years old) and if you didn't pick they usually just threw you in Spanish I don't know a single sentence in Spanish

Just an absolute waste of time

I drew a lot of cars

[long heath]

Yeah bro the box would be massive if it came in one piece

[maiden iris]

I was supposed to be in Spanish but my mom didn’t put me in any classes

[austere trellis]

I'm native French, C2 in English, then like A2 in German and (used to be A2, probably less now lol) Spanish, and I've dabbled in some other languages

But that's it

[lean bluff]

Spanish is the hardest latin language I think

[long heath]

It's secured with so much hardware tho it's stable asf, has a 400 lb rating

[nimble jay]

Learning a language in a class has gotta be the least efficient and effective way to do it

[nimble jay]

Really?

[long heath]

don't mind the blanket i need to get black out curtains but im lazy

[high oracle]

I thought it was one of the easier ones

[maiden iris]

Especially online

[high oracle]

for some reapsn

[nimble jay]

I thought it was one of the easiest

[high oracle]

setup is tuff tho

[austere trellis]

I like it

[chrome hawk]

What about the crease in the middle

[austere trellis]

I revamped mine not long ago

[nimble jay]

Online lectures in general are a useless waste of time. When covid happened and they made my college go completely virtual for that time span I dropped out

[lean bluff]

There's 5 main latin languages I think and Spanish is very hard

I'm italian speaker and it sounds so bad

[high oracle]

I guess

[austere trellis]

French is definitely easiest to learn for Italian, I feel like

Cause the other way around is true

[maiden iris]

I took 4 different online courses and outta those 4 I only really liked one

[austere trellis]

My dad at least seemed to say he didn't find it difficult to learn Italian

But he was also learning Latin in med school, so it must've helped

[lean bluff]

Romanian is actually

[austere trellis]

Oo, didn't think of that one

[nimble jay]

If it wasn't designed to be solely online then it will suck utter ass. They made physical classes online so they made a boring lecture through zoom. Not an actual online learning experience

Like Brilliant or something

[maiden iris]

And that was psychology because my professor didn’t give me a million different assu😭

[nimble jay]

During those zoom classes I was playing Sky Factory Minecraft with Omar

[chrome hawk]

You need some curtains

[nimble jay]

[austere trellis]

#trolled

[tardy thorn]

i had spanish on an off from kindergarten all the way to first year university, and I still don't speak it

[chrome hawk]

Man, that mousepad looks tiny on the desk

[austere trellis]

I still need to find a nice Lego centerpiece in my new setup

Or like, some statue or smth

[nimble jay]

Exactly

Useless ass filler classes

[austere trellis]

Might get a Clair Obscur monolith and be done with it

[lean bluff]

YESS ong It's so hard

We've been taught French in school

I couldn't survive with Spanish

[maiden iris]

I put a Lego g wagon with mine

[austere trellis]

Not bad

[austere trellis]

I do Space Engineering, so I was thinking about doubling down and getting a rocket or smth lol

[chrome hawk]

Your favorite

[maiden iris]

Tuff

[austere trellis]

But I can build rockets, so I'll just be putting one of my projects up instead

Might put the one I currently am working on once I launch it

[lean bluff]

God, that must be paid well

[austere trellis]

Well, industry doesn't exist in Switzerland, so I had to move out to France lol

But yeah it's pretty alright

[lean bluff]

Oh we don't have such industry?

That's weird

[austere trellis]

Unfortunately not, no

There is one company that makes the nosecone assembly for Ariane 6, but otherwise nah

[sterile raft]

Oh cool a Gwagon?

[lean bluff]

Have we ever been to space tho?

[maiden iris]

🙂‍↕️

[nimble jay]

As a twitter user I gotta know, how could you be a space engineer if space isn't real?

[austere trellis]

They're working on a new propulsion lab in Vevey so that is always a possibility

[nimble jay]

Grok can I get context on this

[austere trellis]

You know I've been genuinely asked that lmao

[nimble jay]

[sterile raft]

[austere trellis]

I've been told I'm a fraud and that I'm out to make people believe space is real

[chrome hawk]

Is that why "I just need some space" never works

[lean bluff]

I'm talking about us, swiss

[long heath]

I know

[austere trellis]

So

[long heath]

I just took the blanket off looked too ghetto

[austere trellis]

We've had one astronaut

one

[nimble jay]

Bro is a "space engineer" and never even went to space he's larp maxxing

[austere trellis]

That's it

[long heath]

This feels foreign but it's so fire

[lean bluff]

Oh that's so bad

[long heath]

I don't want to hear about the cables

[austere trellis]

We have so few astronauts that we don't have a term for em

[tardy thorn]

scarlett gang

[lean bluff]

Forget the cables, change your background

[chrome hawk]

W

[sterile raft]

Where chair

[nimble jay]

I would love to go to space but it's definitely not just going up you gotta do a lot of experiments too

[long heath]

i ahd wallpaper engine but it caused crashes

[sterile raft]

Put me in coach

[lean bluff]

It's sad that we don't have many opportunities here

[tardy thorn]

it's literally one of the defaults 😭

[austere trellis]

Astronaut is the US/Canada, taikonauts China, cosmonauts Russia, spationauts France

[long heath]

its a standing desk my chair is off to the side rn

[austere trellis]

But we have nothing lol

[sterile raft]

You game....standing?

[lean bluff]

Yeah we are 3rd world

[austere trellis]

Yes, cause I send em up there

[flint sparrow]

[long heath]

no but i'm gonna now

[sterile raft]

Lol

[tall solar]

Hi hooter

[long heath]

way better for posture

[austere trellis]

First-world third-world problems

[nimble jay]

Why do you have 2 monitors innthe middle and not one off to the side do you just like seeing videogames like this?

[sterile raft]

Hi bebe

[lean bluff]

Literally 😭

[tall solar]

What doink hooty

[austere trellis]

Have some of the richest investments banks on planet Earth yet cannot launch a home-grown astronaut into space

What a shame

[sterile raft]

Just got to work, gonna drink a soder

[chrome hawk]

LMAO

The halo experience

[austere trellis]

Just send me the attachment lmao

[lean bluff]

WHY IS THIS BOT DELETING MY CHATS

I didn't post any attachmenet

[austere trellis]

Huh

He seems to think you did

[long heath]

basically yes

[lean bluff]

Yeah It's broken I think

[austere trellis]

It's kinda criminal tbf

[sterile raft]

Its the 70%

[austere trellis]

I still don't get why people do that

[lean bluff]

I said that 70 of our 1,15 trillion gdp is in bankings

[sterile raft]

I bet

[austere trellis]

I have 3, 2 of which are big screens and one is a smaller one with Spotify and stuff

[lean bluff]

70%

[austere trellis]

And they're all to the left

[sterile raft]

Yeah the % makes it think youre offering a Forbidden Game cut

[austere trellis]

Can't be seeing seams in my field of vision

[sterile raft]

Now say 70% in the bank

[lean bluff]

Nuh uh

[austere trellis]

Oopsie

We're good business-people, what can I say

And we make killer cheese, chocolate and watches

[chrome hawk]

Is that what the filter is catching

[nimble jay]

I feel like unless I get an ultrawide wide or three monitors I would be so uncomfortable with a slab in the middle

[austere trellis]

And wine too

[sterile raft]

Thats my guess. Idk how to look closer

[tardy thorn]

you'd just have to get one of those bezel diffuser strips

[austere trellis]

Clean that monitor my guy

[lean bluff]

Yesss we are #1 at that

[chrome hawk]

What you been doing to those monitors bro

[lean bluff]

And we have the best nature and landscapes

[austere trellis]

There you go, all that Swiss patriotism coming out as always

[lean bluff]

I feel like Spanish and French have better wine than us

[nimble jay]

I don't go on the computer frequently anymore with work picking up so the whole desk is dusty now

[lean bluff]

We love our country and we are proud to be Swiss

😍

[austere trellis]

Oh they do lol, I am just contractually obligated to say we make good wine cause we make it in my region

And it is good as hell, to be fair

[nimble jay]

And the camera loves to pick up shit I can't notice with my eye unless I looked 3 inches infront of them

[austere trellis]

The rosé with a fondue? Killer

[lean bluff]

Back in my home city they make the best pizza

[lean bluff]

😍

[chrome hawk]

Actually makes sense
Your setup look like you haven’t had time since 2019

[nimble jay]

I haven't touched those monitors with my finger in a year

Idk how there could even be fingerprints on them

[austere trellis]

I just got one of those rechargeable air compressors

[nimble jay]

The desk is from 2019 and everything else is 2020 so yes

[austere trellis]

All this talk is reminding me that I need to finish decorating my setup lol, I'll get to it sometime

[nimble jay]

I wanna get a new desk but I wanna redo the whole room and idk if my setup is gonna be here or innm the basement

So any improvement in my life feels like a 30 step process of decisions that will all snowball into one

First stop would be getting a bookshelf

[austere trellis]

Bookshelves are great

[nimble jay]

Then a new chair

[austere trellis]

How about you make your own desk

[nimble jay]

My chair is shit

[austere trellis]

Also yes, get a good chair

They might cost hundreds, but it's well worth the investment

Especially if you sit for prolonged periods of time

[nimble jay]

I want a standing desk so if I had the ability I'd make my own top and just buy the legs/motor but nothing gets done in this house so I'm not gonna risk waiting 6 months for that

[chrome hawk]

I think the HM gaming embody is endgame for chairs

[nimble jay]

I'd just buy it and save my sanity

[austere trellis]

Will be getting one of those once my current one fails

Tried it at one of their boutiques, it's heaven

Sure it's....1.5k

[tall solar]

Fh6 out?

[nimble jay]

It better be for how much they are

[austere trellis]

But it's good

[naive sluice]

Guys is someone here in the ufc server

[nimble jay]

Tomorrow

[chrome hawk]

I mean there’s plenty of expensive chairs

But that one seems to tick all the boxes

[tall solar]

You play?

[chrome hawk]

The libernovo omni seems to be making a name for itself too

They recently realeased new revisions too

[nimble jay]

Obviously

[chrome hawk]

It’s around $800 I think

[austere trellis]

Steelcase is the most comfy I've tried personally

[nimble jay]

Anthros is another brand that does but their chairs cost even more

[austere trellis]

Personal opinion

They're not beautiful, but man are they comfy

[nimble jay]

Steelcase has ergonomic chairs?

[austere trellis]

Of course they do

[nimble jay]

I thought they would all be gamer slop

[austere trellis]

No that's Steelseries

[nimble jay]

Ohhh

[austere trellis]

Lmao

[visual basin]

I'm gonna leave my 40 dollar office chair outta the convo

[nimble jay]

Gamer chairs are shit regardless of how expensive or high quality they are

Just due to the shape and rigidity

[chrome hawk]

I’m getting a sihoo m57

[austere trellis]

If I wanted to balance comfort and looks, I'd definitely look at an Aeron or an Embody or a Hayforth Fern

[chrome hawk]

One of the best (budget) office chairs

[austere trellis]

Either way, bucket seats are meant to keep you in when doing crazy stuff in a car

[chrome hawk]

It’s still $260 but that’s budget when it comes to chairs

[austere trellis]

Not to be comfortable

So the idea that a bucket seat would be a good chair is bogus to begin with

Good chairs mold to the body

[chrome hawk]

Ngl the aeron sucks for anything aside from sitting straight

Because of the lips to catch the mesh

[austere trellis]

It's very good for me specifically

But yeah it's not for everyone

[austere trellis]

It is single-handedly the best you can get for the money

So yeah, fair

[modest cove]

and they are extremely uncomfortable

[modern pine]

[chrome hawk]

In general a lot of the popular HM chairs have some sort of villain look to them lol
Like whenever I see one I can imagine some super villain sitting in one and dramatically spinning around and doing devlish laugh

[austere trellis]

Well yes. They're meant to hold you in place, not make your ass feel good

[chrome hawk]

Might just be me

[modest cove]

porsche bucket seats are arguably the best tbf

bmw ones are fucking terrible

[strong summit]

Which should I use a profile picture

[austere trellis]

Agreed, but racing bucket seats are usually minimal when it comes to cushioning

[modest cove]

yuh

[austere trellis]

BMW ones are straight ass though, agreed

[dusky grove]

they're all really busy

[strong summit]

Huh

[amber junco]

grr

[modest cove]

yes

especially on m5

and m4

was thinking of buying another m car but nah id stick to a 7 series 740d most likely lol

[strong summit]

How do you level up in here and what does the level do

[austere trellis]

[main parcel]

swiss german family speaking french

[austere trellis]

With that thick ass Swiss-German accent

[main parcel]

Yeah filter is important, if you haven’t smoked before then you shouldn’t really be interested in it

[modest cove]

BRO SO REAL

[austere trellis]

Vowels are like multiplied by 6

[modest cove]

Never lived in the German-speaking part

[main parcel]

[modest cove]

[lean bluff]

It's worse than swiss german

[modest cove]

I apparently have a pretty thick swiss-french accent when I speak German

[modest cove]

[main parcel]

How much is weed in Switzerland

[modest cove]

[elder flame]

Oh, mb 😂

[austere trellis]

So, I sound nothing like French when i speak English thankfully

I apparently sound...American?

[lean bluff]

I'm always being told i sound italian

[main parcel]

Here in Norway a gram is 20 dollars

[modest cove]

i wanna sound american too

😭

[austere trellis]

Although I haven't escaped the accent when I speak German

[modest cove]

norway is peak

[austere trellis]

I try but the French in me just comes out

[austere trellis]

Wait

Why would you move then lol

You guys have it good too

[modest cove]

i somehow sound both german and french combined

so i guess uhh, swiss accent?

[austere trellis]

And we're like right next to you, if you're part of 50% of people who think Sweden and Switzerland are the same country

[main parcel]

When did I say that

[modest cove]

bro i hate being called swede

😭

[austere trellis]

During a war or something

[modest cove]

people ragebait us by calling us swede or by calling our flag a medkit

[austere trellis]

Nice Danish flag in pfp man

[modest cove]

or nice medkit

hospital

😭

[elder flame]

You use HHC carts? I’m high on HHC now 😂

[lean bluff]

Not the medkit 😭

[austere trellis]

Medkit flag is crazy

[modest cove]

yes hahaha

[elder flame]

I planned to go the bergen last December but changed my mind for some reason

[main parcel]

Oh yeah I said I would move to Switzerland because of its peacefulness if there was a world war erupted

[modest cove]

nah bro

[main parcel]

Ah I see

[modest cove]

most swiss ppl move out

[main parcel]

It’s got nice mountains and stuff for those who like hiking

[chrome hawk]

Wow it’s that country that makes a multitool knife

[modest cove]

At least it's something we're known for

I've been commended for having made IKEA before

[chrome hawk]

[austere trellis]

So hey

[austere trellis]

[modest cove]

[chrome hawk]

I saw a swiss keycard that’s pretty cool

[austere trellis]

That too

And having 5 languages on our ID

[chrome hawk]

Cows

[lean bluff]

What's the 5th?

[austere trellis]

English lol

Go look at your ID

[modest cove]

cowss

[chrome hawk]

Isn’t sleeping on a cow like one of things you must do if you go to Switzerland

[lean bluff]

Ohh I thought u meant like official languages

[austere trellis]

They're comfy yes

[modest cove]

no, we have 4 official

[austere trellis]

No, no

[modest cove]

english aint official yet

[lean bluff]

Yeah

[main parcel]

I don’t think so

[austere trellis]

4 official, but 5 on the ID nonetheless

[modest cove]

yes

[austere trellis]

So every language is written super small

[chrome hawk]

The indians would be furious

[lean bluff]

I love the name of Suisse

[modest cove]

me too

schwiiz / schweiz sounds bad

svizzera sounds 😭

[austere trellis]

Svizra for the Romansch people in here

They just...removed 2 letters

[modest cove]

thats very similar to spanish

and portuguese ppl

[austere trellis]

Suiza for Spanish nah?

[modest cove]

they call us suica

😭

[modest cove]

oh wait yeah

[lean bluff]

Oh yeah that sounds horrible right

[austere trellis]

Oh you forgot something

Trains that arrive on time

[austere trellis]

[modest cove]

ohh yes

the capital of trains in europe

[austere trellis]

Curse the French train system

Won't even talk about Deutsche Bahn

They're so bad they were banned from entering Switzerland

[modest cove]

we are literally known for having the best train system, best landscapes, best currency, peace, best chocolate, best cheese, best watches

🥹

[modest cove]

😭

[austere trellis]

We are not beating the pride allegations out here

[lean bluff]

We are the best

[modest cove]

the swiss pride is sum else

😭 😭 😭

[sterile raft]

Okay buddy

[modest cove]

i literally joined all gta coms involving pvp and shi and spread out the swissism to everybody

and they hate us now

🥹

[lean bluff]

What's swissism

[sterile raft]

Good thing this is the not gta channels.

[modest cove]

swiss nationalism

[sterile raft]

We don't hate you

[modest cove]

😭

[austere trellis]

Divided by language, united by cheese

[modest cove]

and chocolate

[lean bluff]

And neutrality

[austere trellis]

We're not doing the list again

[dusky grove]

yes I own 2 swiss watches

[modest cove]

[austere trellis]

Good

[modest cove]

lemme guess

[austere trellis]

Own more

[modest cove]

rolex and hublot

[sterile raft]

Swiss...chocolate?

[austere trellis]

Hublot? Get outta here

[dusky grove]

no

[austere trellis]

Läderach

Go try

[modest cove]

hublot is good 😭

[lean bluff]

Swiss knife

[dusky grove]

tissot prx

[austere trellis]

Had one experience with em, and one of the hands fell off

👀

[modest cove]

ouch

thats bad

i never experienced that with hublot

[austere trellis]

Never had that with Omega, Zenith, Rolex, nobody

But Hublot...

[modest cove]

damnn

[lean bluff]

Being swiss is when you own a 15k watch and use public transportation

[modest cove]

😭 😭 😭

so true

[dusky grove]

yeah but wearing a watch that costs the same as my car is nuts

[modest cove]

we have the best public transportation in europe

[austere trellis]

Correct

[modest cove]

what car do you have

[austere trellis]

You still pay the train ride 30CHF to go from Bern to Zürich

[dusky grove]

2018 Hyundai Elantra SE

[modest cove]

who is mentally sane to even go in bern

why is bern even our capital tho😭

[austere trellis]

No clue, I prefer sticking around the Léman

[austere trellis]

Well it isn't

We don't have a capital

[modest cove]

yuh

but eu wants to think that we do

[austere trellis]

Just...a place where the federal council is located

[modest cove]

id say that geneve is closer to be the capital

than bern

[austere trellis]

We technically have 3 capitals

[lean bluff]

What about Zurich?

[modest cove]

Geneve, Zurich, Lugano?

[austere trellis]

Administrative capital in Bern, financial in Zürich, and diplomatic in Geneva

[modest cove]

ohh

i thought u were talking ab like the biggest cities in each speaking region

[modest cove]

but yes

[modest cove]

id say its the 2nd

[austere trellis]

But as according to law, we have none because otherwise the federation would be void

[modest cove]

bern is the 3rd tbf

yeah

but bern is recognized as the capital tho

by non swiss ppl

[austere trellis]

The US fixed that by just...defining some random land as the capital that belongs to no state

[modest cove]

classic us

[austere trellis]

We just didn't define a capital, so it's easier

Nobody owns the capital if the capital doesn't exist

[modest cove]

americans get so mad whenever i tell tuem that Switzerland is better

😌

[lean bluff]

As they should

[modest cove]

i mean tbf we have the best natural defense dont we

[lean bluff]

Nobody would invade us either, we have few natural resources

[modest cove]

yes

most of our gdp is in systems

like banking for example

[lean bluff]

Yeah 70%

[modest cove]

and all the mountains... aint nobody invading that yk

[lean bluff]

We present no interest for them I guess

[austere trellis]

Enough bunker space to fit 1.5x the population by law too, very important

[modest cove]

oh yess

[lean bluff]

I found it interesting how we and Albania have the most bunkers per capita and most albanians migrate here

[modest cove]

albanians move here just to beef with serbians icl

[lean bluff]

😭

[austere trellis]

And start restaurants

[lean bluff]

What are they even beefing about?

[austere trellis]

(They're very good)

[modest cove]

yes that too

[austere trellis]

You really asking?

[sudden blaze]

Do you think trailer 3 will drop tomorrow?

[modest cove]

kosovo

[lean bluff]

Yeah IDK about them a lot

[lean bluff]

Ohhh

[modest cove]

basically kosovo declared independence and serbia wants it back but albania is keeping it by its side

[austere trellis]

I knew an Albanian guy who bought some shithole on the Montreux hillside, turned it into a multi-million dollar mansion + restaurant with his bare hands, and sold it 20 years later

Gotta commend them, they're a creative bunch lmao

[modest cove]

they are smart yuh

[lean bluff]

That's smart

[modest cove]

we also have many portuguese

italians

germans

30% of population being non swiss born

and yet somehow they dont cause trouble

[austere trellis]

(Still trying to vote that law in a month though)

[lean bluff]

We have the most immigrants per capita but still the safest country

[modest cove]

oh also that 10 million cap law

[austere trellis]

Yeah lol

[modest cove]

that sounds so weird icl

but its efficient

[modest cove]

yes

[austere trellis]

Read about it, it's a lot clearer with the explanations

[modest cove]

tbf i wasnt interested enough since next year i move to brisbane

australia

[austere trellis]

But yeah the term "No Switzerland over 10 Million!" sounds like they're gonna do something crazy

[modest cove]

yeah fr

[lean bluff]

That's so far away

[modest cove]

yeah but i love australia

[austere trellis]

Very cool country

[modest cove]

yes

and people are similar to us

[austere trellis]

Happens to spawn all of the creatures from hell there

[lean bluff]

😭 Oh that

[modest cove]

😭 😭 😭

wellll

everything gotta have its good and bad sides

they main good part is that they have a nice landscape, big cities

yk as a swiss, we have absolutely 0 SKYSCRAPERS

and im the kind of person loving them

[lean bluff]

We have a few in Basel

[modest cove]

uh yeah small ones

and they look ugly tbf

[austere trellis]

We don't talk about those

[lean bluff]

Roche towers

😭

[modest cove]

they look awful

just demolish them

[austere trellis]

I have grown to love the lack of them

[tall solar]

Show cat

[austere trellis]

It's why the center of Paris is cool, until you see Défense in the background

[modest cove]

i see them as a sign of civilization

[modest cove]

oh yeah

paris is weird with that

but its efficient tho

[austere trellis]

The idea is great

[lean bluff]

I prefer cities that are developed horizontally instead of vertically

[austere trellis]

The Arc de Triomphe and the Arche de la Défense are aligned on the same street

Quite symbolic

[modest cove]

moscow also has good skyline

[modest cove]

yes

[modest cove]

bro wtf i have a german friend that said the exact same thing

[austere trellis]

I do not like how the Arche de la Défense looks, but the idea is genius lol

[modest cove]

damn this picture is quite confusing never saw paris this way tbf

ive been to paris a few times, its one of the least visited capital city in my list

and i visited most of the world

just never truly felt something for that city idk

its full of chaos, crime, burnings and shit

[lean bluff]

Urban hell

I prefer a small village over this

[austere trellis]

I mean I agree, but I'm just talking about the concept lol

[unborn quest]

Yes.

[nimble jay]

Sure, you're on steam?

[lean bluff]

Ohh

[nimble jay]

I'm gonna punch these in and preorder the game now actually lol

[unborn quest]

Forza not out on ps5 tomorrow 😔

[grand torrent]

[long harness]

[gentle dirge]

Idk what tryna pre order but dont

[long harness]

[austere trellis]

Crazy money spread

[unborn quest]

60% about to be on forza 6 when it comes out on ps5

[unborn quest]

Forgot it was there

I always have one fully charged especially when I need it

[gentle dirge]

MAD

[nimble jay]

Why not

They've been in my drawer for 7 months

So now instead of $120 this games gonna be $20

[nimble jay]

Why

?

It's coming out tonight

[long harness]

did u forget u had cards or u actually hoard cards

[gentle dirge]

Pre ordering is bad

[nimble jay]

It was only those 2, I don't play videos games enough so I semi forgot about them

[nimble jay]

Again, why

I'm confused what would be bad about it cause it makes no difference

Lol

[gentle dirge]

Because you don't know what you're buying

Exhibit A cyberpunk

[long harness]

do u genuinely like fh that much

[nimble jay]

I'm buying this game regardless

[gentle dirge]

Exhibit B bf6

[long harness]

dang so a true fan then

[gentle dirge]

Exhibit C any ubisoft game

[nimble jay]

I was disappointed by 5 but 6 looks like they finally locked tf in

1-4 are fine though

[long harness]

bruh

bar this guy from being mod

[gentle dirge]

5 was a reskinned fh4

[nimble jay]

Because I like a series I've been playing since 2012?

[nimble jay]

True, they flopped hard because they invested too much of the map into a slop battle royale

Shame

[long harness]

yea isnt 5 basically 4 in a diff map but the map is just something else

[gentle dirge]

Do u also drive the dodge viper

Was it 2012

[nimble jay]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-forza-hop-on-forza-horizon-1-dodge-viper-racing-game-forza-community-gif-3065014067945567516

Nothing compares to the 1st one ngl I wish they would remaster it

[gentle dirge]

Reminds me that i bought all the forza hot wheels cars

[nimble jay]

Hot wheels was a really cool dlc

[long harness]

forza got nothing on my childhood nfs games on the psp

and midnight club 2

[gentle dirge]

Burnout on psp

[nimble jay]

Forza drives a lot better than nfs, nfs has good customization but I don't really like super arcade physics

[elder flame]

Only childhood games I have are the early gta games

[austere trellis]

Hi!

Missed ya

Ya been alright?

[gentle dirge]

Yeah thanks, haven't seen you in a bit

[nimble jay]

Meanwhile Subnautica 2 released at 30

[nimble jay]

Free though cause it's my steam wallet

[long harness]

back in my day, deluxe edition used to be $80 👴

[nimble jay]

I should get that too while I'm at it

[gentle dirge]

That's alright just don't forget us 😭

[austere trellis]

Do that

[naive sluice]

Someone here in the ufc discord?

[austere trellis]

I will never forget you

I just get busy with work and all that

[long harness]

$100 used to be the ultimate edition 👴

[elder flame]

I remember paying like €220 like 2 years ago for msfs and I still haven’t played it

[gentle dirge]

And people say helldivers 2 is expensive

[long harness]

who said hd2 being $40 is too much

[gentle dirge]

A LOT OF PEOPLE

[nimble jay]

I hope this game is good on the wheel, they have more rotation innthe wheel for the first time ever so that is promising

[long harness]

nah whos ppl

[austere trellis]

Better get a DD wheel sometime

They're great

[gentle dirge]

I made about 20 people here buy helldivers but a lot of them say uhhh 30-40$ is a lot

[nimble jay]

Once I redo the basement I'm gonna drop a used car on a Sim lol it will be glorious

[austere trellis]

Also, if FH6 isn't good on a wheel, then MS needs to go home

[nimble jay]

But for now the g29 and my foldable gt mount is peak

[austere trellis]

Cause like, what's the point at that point

[nimble jay]

Forza Horizon has always been a controller game

It kinda sucks on wheel it's semi arcade

[gentle dirge]

That's kinda stupid

[nimble jay]

But they seemed to have addressed that this time around

[austere trellis]

Sure, but it's common courtesy to have it work on a wheel lol

[gentle dirge]

The thing that made me hate forza games is xbox gamepass on pc

[austere trellis]

Car game = wheel

At least for me

[nimble jay]

It works on the wheel but it just doesn't feel good in the wheel

[austere trellis]

Do tell if it's good this time

Might consider getting it if so

[nimble jay]

I played fh1 on a mad Katz 360 wheel and the rotation wasn't even 360 degrees lmao

[tame sigil]

LF racing

[austere trellis]

I'm gonna end up building a full Moza setup sometime in the near future to get back into sim driving/trucking, so I'll take any cool games I can get

[gentle dirge]

Mad do u stream?

[austere trellis]

Gonna engineer a stand that allows me to tilt the wheelbase for trucking lol

[austere trellis]

I do not, no

Not good enough at games for that to be a possibility lol

[gentle dirge]

[long harness]

do u have to be good to stream

[gentle dirge]

U just need to show your charming personality

[austere trellis]

Awe

[long harness]

streaming is about selling your soul for entertainment

[austere trellis]

I think it's just the voice

[austere trellis]

Possible

But I don't think I got it in me

Plus it's a huge time investment

[gentle dirge]

Hmmm not really, only if it's your bread and butter

I watch a lot of streamers that just play and do whatever they like

[flint sparrow]

soul where

[austere trellis]

In South Korea or something idk

[flint sparrow]

the dad jokes don't work on me
