2. There's a reason Switzerland has not been involved in any conflicts for the last hundred years. Tactically it would be a terrible decision to invade them; it's why Hitler never did. Armies much larger would easily be decimated trying to invade Switzerland.
I think with time this is much more a political deterrence, not a geographical. Nazis and Allies didn't have much trouble fighting legitimate standing armies in either the Caucasus or Italy, and that was 7 decades ago.
It's not even just the mountains although the country basically has a natural wall around it because of them. Not to mention the Swiss military has tunnels, bunkers, and booby-traps hidden everywhere in those mountains. The biggest reason is that every single citizen in the country is a member of the military and armed. That is such a tactical disadvantage in and of itself, it's one of the reasons the big US got so fucked by the Vietcong. Short of nuking any military would have a really hard time taking down Switzerland.
But Switzerland's value isn't in territory or in natural resources, it's in its capital and interests, which are static targets that you don't have to patrol an entire country to control. An international banking system can't be sustained with guerrilla tactics.
If Switzerland is occupied by a foreign entity those capital resources are no longer there. The capital investments and interests of the foreign nations supplying such will most likely be withdrawn in the event of a foreign power taking over unless I suppose it was a coalition of sorts then yeah I guess it might work in this hypothetical scenario. Invading a country for the interest of taking it's capital doesn't really work last I checked. It's not like strolling into a country to take acreage, oil, or any physical material. You can't really take capital, an economy, and GDP since most of it is superficial and not actually palpable material you can just seize. I mean there are physical aspects of capital such as the money that is physically in banks but I would highly doubt it's enough to justify a costly invasion.
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're trying to say.
Well the only real reason to invade Switzerland is to dissolve its banking system. You might not garner the capital, yeah, but they can't continue to do business if they're forced underground.

If you became successful by means of the US infrastructure then it seems unfair to avoid any and all means of repaying that establishment.
Yeah aren't offshore bank accounts a way that people use to avoid paying taxes? If so, couldn't you just force them to pull their money out of those accounts and bring it all back here by just putting a gun to their head?
That would be immoral
How else are countries supposed to close the tax loophole for the super wealthy?
I suppose technically speaking by not using American banks to store their wealth they aren't using American infrastructure thus shouldn't be taxed, but maybe they could just put a massive wire-fee on storing it overseas. It isn't really a way to avoid legal responsibility though, if you commit a crime and don't pay the government still has a right to detain you.

Yes. I don't think the Swiss would recognize coercion as legally binding agreement for withdrawal. They'd probably also consider that a crime against their person, as it's sort of extortion. In the same way that foreign banking protects corrupt richfags, it also protects people from unjust government intervention and seizure. I won't pretend to know which is the bigger problem.

Completely Newtonian physics. I wonder what a game implementing Einsteinian physics would be like.

Most usually it does effect you in a subtle way. Unemployment is high, but you have a job? It's still going to effect the world around you, and thus you. It's also proactive to your self interest in the event it happens to you in the future.
At the same time though life just doesn't function well if you had to care about everything and everyone.

Depends what you want to do really.
If you're lazy probably better to be the chick, if you got goals and shit probably the guy.

I feel tired as fuck after being around people for more than a few hours. I just don't understand how someone can feel energized by it.

Any 18 year old can bartend tho.
okay maybe I'm just thinking of the flashy ones because I've never been to a bar

Tbh servers are entitled shits. Kitchen staff makes minimum wage and servers complaining they didn't make 100 in a shift. If you have a job that not any 16 year old can do like bartending then maybe I'll tip without contempt. Waitresses disgustingly outearn their peers.

The only reason you continue playing Dark Souls is to see new places/areas and have new experiences.
No I don't. I like the game a lot and I enjoy playing it over and over. Occasionally I do soothing new if the mood strikes me, or I use a new weapon/playstyle, but that's it.
lmao how is that different than playing a different hero or a different comp or building different items or facing different enemies
