  • I’m a naturalised Swiss citizen from the German-speaking part, originally from Eastern Europe. I’ll try to cover some of what other comments haven’t:

    1. First thing: get employed. In fact, get a contract before even coming here. Life in Switzerland has serious recurring costs and safety nets are sparse. I’m not saying it’s easy, it’s the biggest challenge, but it only gets easier from there.
    2. Learn the language (Swiss German), keep practicing it, and mind that you’ll never be 100% accent-free or accepted by everyone in society. Switzerland has a kind of baseline hostility towards everyone, and foreigners get some extra.
    3. Build up your own circle of friends, which is downright easy in most “cities”. Pubs are ubiquitous and great for this. There is a sizeable Balkans minority, which might need some extra navigation, but you prolly know this better than I.
    4. If you’re through with points 1.-3. though, let me tell you, this is hands-down the best country in the world. You’ll love it here. You’ll never feel as home anywhere else like you’ll do here.


  • shit happens, and you can’t wholly prevent decent people’s lives being upturned by the habitually criminal, but this gives me pause: “Stancu, who has three previous convictions for dishonesty offences but has not been in court since 2013, …

    from this point it looks more like a failure of the local justice system, letting that thief roam around instead of booting him out of the country when they knew to




  • Got a few issues with this one.

    1. Nobody goes out trying to shoot indestructible christian babies with a shotgun. They’re indestructible and shells cost money.
    2. Is having the cross forcefully removed supposed to make the baby no longer christian, indestructible, or “christian indestructible” (and if so, what’s that?)?
    3. Would converting therefore involve or require equipping the amulet I’ve looted off the now dead baby? And if so, will I lose my christian indestructibility if I take it off?

    In essence, would you change your religion if it gave an attunement bonus to something you wore (and perhaps have looted off a murdered faithful)?

    Tbf, it’d be worth the shitload in church tax I’d then have to pay… if it worked. Which is the trouble with these religious relics anyway, eh?
