Most decent headphones still seem to have physical buttons. The big ones. With earbuds you’re kinda out of luck

It was always the opposite in this template tho, with the girl being well versed in something and the guy being a newbie or whatever

Be the change you want to see! Just luckpick something else, doesn’t have to be the same ending.

There was a turns into tex-mex recipe account on reddit too.

Aren’t the three letter agencies constantly bickering?

Lol @ YouTube being slow

Look at the amount of data that goes through their servers every millisecond. It’s ridiculous. All things considered, YouTube is lightning fast.

Maybe the UI isn’t as snappy as it could be, but the blame there lies solely on throwing more and more javascript at it to add “features” that end users don’t really want.

Here, someone already wrote a bare bones one. Of course that also uses an unsafe block lol

My point is that all fucking Nazis should be banned from politics and reformed in jail, and not exclusively pro-Russian ones

Yes, as soon as it can be proven that they’ve done something illegal. What DO you know about the Estonian nazis? Kaalep has for sure said some nasty things, but tbh he was WASTED that time I met him (not willingly! I didn’t know that girl from my course in uni was a fucking Sinine Äratus member trying to get into real politics and that the friend she wanted to meet up with would be a fucking nazi lmao) and there was nobody around to record anything. In public he HINTS at being a nazi, but never have I heard him say he wants to exterminate Jews in public. He also got expelled from EKRE. Not sure if it was for being too nazi, or not nazi enough. Madison is the second worst IMO and he actually left EKRE because “it had changed too much for his liking”. Again, not sure if too nazi or not nazi enough for him. But he has a master’s degree in law so I’m pretty sure he knows EXACTLY how to toe the line between legal and illegal speech.

Both EKRE and the brand new ERK are full of assholes, but clearly there were disagreements on how nazi they should be. Reportedly those with the biggest nazi-boner were the Helme family (ironically, they’re also the ones most commonly associated with pro-Kremlin views - Putin LOVES propping up nazis around the world). With this rift, I don’t think either party will do too well in the upcoming election in 2027.

There’s an unfortunate reason that we can’t make any single political leaning illegal: If we do, we lose freedom of speech. The nazis are already complaining that they’re being censored. Right now everyone’s laughing at them. You start putting them in jail for their opinions rather than their actions, and suddenly they’re no longer the butt of a joke, they’re martyrs.

Aren’t you afraid of Nazis in your government?

I’m afraid of what our society has become that people vote for them more than anything.

I’ll be honest with you. I’ll be fine under the Estonian nazi rule. I’m straight and white. Some of my friends are not straight, or not Estonian. If EKRE ever gets a big enough majority to influence things, our only saving grace is that it takes time to enact new laws and these friends can escape in that time. At the same time, the nazis, unlike the liberals, aren’t calling for privatized healthcare and education. They’re running on pure xenophobia, not with the addition of unfettered capitalism like in the US.

Still, I’d get the fuck out of the country too if that happens. Not because I refuse to fight nazis, but because if this happens it means that enough people WANTED it to happen, so it’s obvious that I no longer have anything in common with the majority of my own country.

But mostly it’s all saber rattling from them. They had 19 seats and they were in the coalition, and they did jack shit. They’re really just a populist party and when Putin was arranging the refugee crisis to push for increased xenophobia in Europe, they got popular by saying shit a lot of people were thinking. Then it turned out that the massive amount of 10 or 11 or whatever refugees we took in didn’t affect anything, and they just looked like idiots to most of the country. The only reason they got 17 votes in the election after that is that the other parties fumbled it even harder, to the point we’re back to voting for fucking neoliberals primarily.

In 2027 I will probably vote for SDE despite my disdain for Läänemets. I imagine most people I know will vote for Isamaa or something similar, purely because they don’t really promise to rock any boats. Some people vote for EKRE because they’re populist, but not too many. Luckily we have very good education and that sorta slows down the nazi popularity. But if EKRE gets a significant bump in their seat count, I WILL be making an exit plan, probably for a mediterranean climate.

why isn’t being a Nazi considered threatening to Estonia and considered treason?

Because they’ve never went out and said Estonia shouldn’t be an independent nation, nor is there proof of their connection to foreign interests.

You’re allowed to hold any opinion in Estonia. As long as laws aren’t being broken, you ain’t going to jail. Their opinions are vile and hateful, but they have not directly, provably harmed anyone, and any conspiracies of theirs seem to still be secret enough that they’ve not been prosecuted yet.

Being a nazi becomes illegal when they start calling for harm of other people. But their platform is one of “change the immigration laws” and “change the family law”, not “kill the immigrants” and “kill the gays”. At least publicly they haven’t gone out to say any of that. And in Estonia, a person is innocent until proven guilty. Why do you think it took so long to prosecute the head of the Pro-Russian party if it was known long ago what a fuckface he was? The Helme family unfortunately aren’t as stupid as him. They’re every bit as evil, they play stupid a LOT, but they don’t break laws, at least not provably.

City people are just minding their own business and don’t like it when you get in the way of their business in some way. Small town people are more likely to have a grudge against some part of your identity, whether it be physical, sexual, whatever. But yes as a straight white male, when I visited the US, small town America was very friendly and polite. Mostly seemed like fake friendliness though. Like overdone in some way. In the big city (NYC in this case), everyone just… ignored us and we ignored them.

What Estonian law have they broken?

Peterson has been taking Russian money and instructions from Russia on how to destabilize Estonia. EKRE, for all we know, may be doing it completely willingly. They’re not breaking any laws that I’m aware of, they want to change laws for the worse. In a democracy, if they get voted in, they unfortunately have the right to propose changes and vote on those proposals.

Luckily EKRE isn’t too successful. And their popularity isn’t as big as it used to be, though still too big for my liking.

If you’ve been watching the news for the last, idk, 4 or 5 years, Aivo Peterson has been pretty much advocating for Estonia to be part of Russia.

If you’ve got proof of EKRE committing treason, please send it to KAPO and/or the prokuratuur. They may just do something. Would be lovely. But for now… We all know in our hearts that EKRE is a bunch of bastards, but I don’t think there’s any real proof of them committing treason. I suspect they must’ve taken Russian money to get started, but I don’t have proof of it.

Being far-right or far-left isn’t illegal in Estonia. Treason is.

If by our far right party you mean EKRE, those guys have also been suspected of being Russian assets. Hell, I still suspect that they’ve collaborated with Putin in the past at least. If there was real proof of them committing treason, they’d be behind bars already.

Or they should close the Israeli embassy they just opened last month in the country for the first time in history.

Agreed. Unfortunately I think being a country as small as we are, our politicians are afraid of angering the US :/ Not that I’d even consider the US to be a reliable ally.

Load bearing Mac Mini vs gigantisch raspberry pi. Wonder who would win in a fight?

Software engineer. Last company that made me use Windows was one I left 3 years ago I think. Since then it’s been MacOS or LInux, and I love both. I actually prefer Linux at home and MacOS for work. Just add brew (obviously) and a tiling window manager and I’m done. With Linux at home I tinker more, I actually used to use Gentoo for gaming…

I rented one once for an hour, that was all the Tesla experience I needed tbh.

Wasn’t a P100D or anything, just a Y Long Range, but I no longer have any curiosity about it. Interior was bland af, ride quality was barely any better than a cheapo Hyundai… The only good things are the giant tablet not being slow as hell, and the powertrain being fun.

You get a lot more with European cars if you’re willing to pay Tesla level prices. Or you can get a completely OK car from Korea or Japan and pay less (as long as it isn’t a Lexus, those are expensive).

In English. What’s it called in Whovian?

It’s the English name for it. There’s no guarantee that the whos even speak English. I doubt the Spartans in 300 spoke English, nor the Russians in Enemy at the Gates, but the spoken language in both movies was English.

Guess udemy was too affordable and that needed to be changed. In a sane world this would be prevented by anti trust legislation.

We’re doomed to help our parents AND our kids.

Christmas is just a name that’s used for it in English. You don’t ever pronounce it like Christ the name. There’s no point in using another name in a kids movie because then little children might not know it’s the same holiday.

In my country the name has nothing to do with Christ. We celebrate Jõulud. Though the tradition itself is older than the name. Meaning the whos can celebrate the exact same holiday with no implication of christ existing if you just switch languages.
