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.
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.
Time for Euro7 and make it much stricter than Euro6 then. Follow up with Euro8 that would allow just 5 grams of CO2 per km.
Guess udemy was too affordable and that needed to be changed. In a sane world this would be prevented by anti trust legislation.
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.
