Fun fact: in my country (Slovakia) it’s totally legal to download things. It’s the uploading it back that’s seen as illegal, so as long as you have a paid private torrent site where you can hit’n’run you are not breaking any laws.
Same in Switzerland. If it's not software, downloading is fully legal.
Same in canada, I've been on Usenet rather than torrents for this exact reason and its delightful
It's the same in Italy. If you're just downloading, you're golden. If you're uploading, weeeeell, you may be liable but everybody pirates and nobody is ever fined.
Unless if you pirate football, then the police is going to knock on your door. But everything else is free for all. No VPNs needed. It's magical.
How do you like Slovakia 🇸🇰?
Is it fun?
"They seem to have a culture that very closely matches mine, speak my native language, oh and it is so convenient because all of my family also lives here too!"
Isn't it a bit weird question to ask a native? Unless they are upset and want to move out they most likely like their country. And unless they already lived somewhere else they can't truly compare.
You would have a point, but they don’t actually speak my Native language as I am of Hungarian descent and that’s my mother’s tongue.
I also spent 10 years in Czechia both studied there then worked there for a few years.
So I can compare, I’d say definitely Czechia > Slovakia, it’s just that my family is in Slovakia.
In that case, bojler elado
lol, ok you had to be an exception :)
In that case does OP know you then?
i hate where i'm from and can't afford to leave
Wouldn't that still put you in a group that would want to leave?
Sure it is a wierd question, I have never been to Slovakia 🇸🇰 though
