:estonia-burning: is already stiffing the education budget for war. The Riigikogu cannot afford to give €50M for schools and increase teacher salaries, but €300M per annum until at least 2027 to
- as if by magic, suddenly money appears!
Oh and Estonia wants to mine the eastern border. Everything is still also covered in Ukraine flags, just as it was 2 years ago.
ZelensKKKy was also in Tallinn 2 weeks ago and the reaction is exactly what you'd expect - at least in the online space, Estonians trying their hardest to maximize their 1940s Nazi power level, swooning over the golden idol of crackerkind.
No idea what the brand of computer it was, but it was beige and had Windows NT on it, complete with one of those legendary loud mechanical keyboards and ... the big beige ViewSonic CRT with the 3 birbs logo. It was a computer for work that my pops got some years after the Apartheid ended and there were also loads of 90s PC gaming goodness - SimCity 2000, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, XCom Enemy Unknown and Apoccalypse, Jagged Alliance 2, etc. No internet or graphics to speak of, so no way in hell this computer was going to run Half-Life 1, Unreal Tournament or even Quake.
Oh and good old MS Paint.
Though at times I did get to go to my pops' workplace and experience the Internet and all these Flash games.
Said by people who are unwilling to admit they're on the wrong side. Or in a more extreme setting (like say, South Africa during apartheid), they'd most likely report you to authorities or outright even kill you.

I was talking to a mate about Palestine and he immediately went for the "bUt TiAnAm3n SqU@r3 k1LLeD oVeR tEn Th0uSaNd" and the "Ch1n@ cEnOcIde iN UygHuRs Th0" with the swiftness of a 737 flying into the 2nd tower. They will disregard who originally makes these claims and are 100% unfazed by say, World Uyghur Congress being totally in support of the genocide in Gaza, the response being either dismissal or "you're too much into politics and also ableism".
Nuclear fission, all types of renewable energy and soon-to-be nuclear fusion are meant to complement each other, not for one to totally overtake the rest
back to South Africa for good since quality of life and the political landscape is worsening to the extent where I might even be in some degree of danger. Also work hasn't allowed me to leave for the Friday prayer, so there's that. I do get paid on Monday so after bills that leaves me with a little over €5,000 saved. The extra money would pay for the flight, buying a 1BR apartment outright with maybe spending a few grand on renovations and living expenses would be covered for at least 3 years, leeway to find an income.
I suppose the silver lining is that I am able to add an extra €400 a month to my savings, so this goal is at least materializing albeit slower than I'd like.
to formally suspend all relations with Isisrael, which includes de-colonizing the 5,100 square meters in Pretoria and extraditing Eliav Bellend to Cape Town to have the penguins carry out sentencing by guillotine expelling the Pissraeli ambassador.
But there's of course plenty of room to disappoint.
DPRK stay winning
