@laurentzeimes @0xovermillion@Wassie2835 Also the tweet by @MikeBenzCyber & article on @Weltwoche are triggering as the law has nothing to do with ethnics. I personally know Metlev who's quoted in the screenshots — poor choice of words from him, and not accurate re: his comment about protests on the streets.
@laurentzeimes @0xovermillion@Wassie2835 ~200k Estonian-Russians and Russian-Estonians have not had an issue learning B1 level of Estonian language. And they have applied and gotten the citizenship. The 80k minority also have that choice.
@laurentzeimes @0xovermillion@Wassie2835 Correct re: municipal elections in Belgium, my bad. But who & how can apply for citizenship is rooted in historic context. If Estonia did not have the language requirement, we would have become a province of Russia by now. And this is what are our laws are designed to prevent.
@laurentzeimes @Wassie2835 why should countries like Estonia not try and prevent this from happening?
sidenote: I don't think it's necessarily wise to change the constitution because of "current global affairs". in fact, the leaders should have had the backbone to do it sooner. better late than never tho
@laurentzeimes @Wassie2835 there is proof that populations who identify as russian, don't want to give up their russian citizenship, yet reside in other countries have been used as a tool to get pro-rus parties into power. this poses an existential threat to countries like Estonia.
@anettzz@egelynbraun mida Euroopa tarbija tegema peaks kui Domestika platvorm selgelt scam võtetega inimesi nöörib? @anettzz esimese tweeti all palju teisigi kes sarnaseid kogemusi saanud 🤔
@nikitabier Estonia for the summer solatice in June: magical long summer nights, quaint Old town in Tallinn and a popping tech ecosystem if you’re not 100% in vacation mode. Song festival on July 3-5, 2025 is worth seeing too.
@Oliver_S_Curry@rshotton@tomstandage They also measured driving speeds after the "timeout". Only 2 out of 15 drove faster than the limit, just by a couple km/h.
I couldn't find much about the results, except a couple news pieces about two tests where the sample size is ~30 drivers. About half chose the timeout.
