  • Switzerland means land of the people from Schwyz, which is one of the 3 founding “Cantons / States” of Switzerland. When going to war the old confederacy would wear white cross with red background (the flag of Schwyz) to distinguish themselves in battle. So in wider Europe they where known as Switzerland, specially because the Swiss Mercs were elite warriors and the most powerfull nobles would want to have the Swiss as their Guard (the Vatican still uses them today).

    The real name of Switzerland though is Confederatio Helvetica. Which means the Helvetic Confederation. The Helvetic are a Celtic tribe that used to live in today’s Switzerland before the Romans took over and later the Alemans rolled in.



  • For me it’s often like watching a movie and lots of 3rd person monolologue as well as one wierd idea after the other popping up and going.

    I often alao have interviews with myself how I just killed it in certaim situations and do play by play analysis from these events.

    When in public settings I often play in my mind some wierd social games: where I try to find the mood of others and react to what they do (kinda like a dating sim).

    I also like to go back to past events and analyse what I could have done better and memorize what to do in a future convo.

    Since I speak more than one language my thoughts change languages. When I consume or produce in a certain language my brain is basically in that language and all my thoughts are in that language.


  • How I was dressed (a non tailored suit), body language, handshake, and voice (low volume and fast). Over all looking like an insecure guy trying too hard.

    She told me to change the suit for a well suiting more sporty attire I feel comfy in. How introduce myself (we practiced having an elevator pitch prepared) and how to have a “bigger” precense. I’m already quite tall and have a big frame (due to swimming for years as a kid) and she told me how to use my body and body language to look more competent and have a more commanding but friendly precense. To talk slow and clear etc. (All her tips not only helped me in the working world but also in real life as well).















  • 30M: Growing up I wanted at least 3 kids. Than I realized: Holly fuck our society is literary made up against having children. WTF? From age 5 or even earlier you are put in a 9 to 5 where you have to perform if you don’t want to be labeled as stupid. In a system that does not care if you are the artsy type, the sporty type, the neat type etc and God forbid you have ADHD or something… the system does not care all it cares for is grades and that you shut up in class and memorize shit you’ll never use ever again.

    And as a parent: You are encouraged to go to work and give your kid for someone else to take care of. You want a kid because you want to spend time with it. Be involved in their lives and be a good parent. But hey if you want to afford to provide for it, you better be working from 7 till 7… so you’re either fucked financially or you no time for your own kid.

    Just yesterday at work, a coworker showed the card her nephew had given to her after she took the day off to go to an amusement park with them. The coworker was super proud showingit aroumd and you know what was written in the card? "Dear xy, I had a blast today it was so much fun. Thank you you made time for me in your busy schedule and did spend time with and took an extra day off for me. "

    Quite sweet, until you realize: That poor kid is so used to be a second priority to work, that it has to emphasize so much how great it was someone prioritize them over work. I whish I was making this up…

    This made me realize I’m quite happy with no kids. I wouldn’t mind having them with someone that would actually tale their time to raise them with me. Like someone who is ok with being part-time stay at home (where we both work 50% and gake turns taking care pf the kid) else I don’t see a point in having a kid.

    Edit: RIP my English…
