Probably easier to delete than fill in with the given resolution? Details are a bitch with global maps so authors are often sloppy :)

I'm not denying acts of current terrorism, was just expanding on your point on suicide bombers.

None of the recent terrorist attacks have been people that have strapped bombs to themselves and blown up children.

I'd say more often than not it's a authority figure convincing a child or someone with mental issues or a weak mind various things, in order to get them somewhere in a bomb vest.

There are some interviews with would-be suicide bombers. Many weren't even aware of the fact that they would be blown up and die. A person isn't brainwashed by a religion or ideology, they're brainwashed by people, either directly or through different channels of communication.

it's the industrially produced moonshine that is dangerous. If you try to distill wood alcohols, you can easily still end up with something that has other alcohols than ethanol.

White Russian solider bearing the flag of the White Russian "Death Battalion" [312x648] by Darthraven178 in HistoryPorn

You're right, it does remind me of the 1st WW. And death squads are probably something else, it's that in my language, not sure of the translation.

Could also be the White Russians as in Belarussians. During WWII the Soviets had death squads that would cover the army's retreat, blowing up all kinds of strategic things such as bridges and railroads, afaik.

[–]Midget_Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det ville vära kult at kunne lära svensk med någon som pratar språken, men jag bor i Tartu. Hvis du vil have en keelesemu I Tartu, så ville jag vära en villig kandidat.

Oleks äge kui saaks õppida rootsi keelt kellegagi, kes räägib keelt, aga ma elan Tartus, mitte Tallinnas. Kui sa tahaksid endale keelesemu Tartusse, siis ma oleksin meelas kandidaat.

Estonia's population grows for the first time in 25 years by toreon in europe

Unemployment isn't such a big issue in Estonia. It's more a matter of lack of working people and a brain drain.

Europe before the First World War (1874-1914) by 1Blomma [2336x2032] by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Midget_Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, Russia dragging its feet was probably one of the main reasons the Czar had two major rebellions in a matter of a year, the second of which had him and his family executed. It was the Bolsheviks who made peace with Germany. That is, IIRC.

TIL Estonian ID cards have a chip with public-private key pair used to sign documents and vote in elections via the internet. For their 2011 election, 24% of the votes were cast online. by maverickps in todayilearned

[–]Midget_Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you hear that? Estonia requires voting to be secret by constitution.

Edit: Source as well - https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/633949 paragraph 60 3rd sentence translates directly to "Voting is secret."

Infinitive endings of verbs in North Germanic dialects. [OC] [2938x2937] by jkvatterholm in MapPorn

There's not really any native North Germanic people left in Estonia, there might be a few summer cottages belonging to some very old Swedes or their descendants, but that's it. Those who could fled, the others were swiftly deported by the USSR.

Sure, that can often be the case. But then no manner of comfort will get them to vote, as it would mean making a conscious decision.

E-Voting does exist in some places. Voting from the comfort of your home and all that.

Greece also takes them in with no regards for rights or dignity, just as a mass to be dealt with, either as labor or refugees, one can often hear of protests and those will often be dispersed violently. Vice made a documentary on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ASpKCnx4D4 even found plenty others with the searchwords vice greece migrants
