Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race or ethnicity over another.[1][2][3] It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different ethnic background.

I don't know, seems to fit the definition nicely.

Don't ask about Porsche, Opel, Bayer, Adidas... basically any German company that existed in that period.

The Guards' statement included a reference to another ship, which it said was hit by projectiles - usually a reference to drones - on Wednesday morning.

I was wondering that, from the pictures of at least the Thai Cargo ship the damage looks to be too minor to be from Anti-ship Missiles. Looks like Iran is holding back those for more meaty targets like US warships and the geography makes it hard to catch all those before they get to be a real threat. Just one of those slipping through can cause massive damage.

Well was it a Noor, Qader, Ghadir, Ra'ad, Nasr-1, Kowsar, Zafar, Khajir Fats, Hormuz 2, maybe an old expect they had lying around.

(I was just going to make the joke and name 2 or 3 Anti Ship Missiles, then looked it up and was amazed just how many different ASM systems Iran has in their arsenal, that list isn't even half of the models listed.)

That's such a clever trick - to make that whole thing about who pressed the button on that specific missile instead of having a debate about how starting the war created the circumstances that made the pressing of the button possible in the first place.

Do you not own the ID itself

I don't know about the US but here in Germany you don't, all those official documents are property of the federal republic.

You can drown in an ocean or drown in a puddle, the result stays the same.

Careful with that quote, it's by Kevin Alfred Strom a Neo-Nazi from an 1993 essay in the national Vanguard, a white nationalist publication and it refers to the antisemitic trope of world Judaism.

I'm not criticizing you, just want to contextualize it because it could be misconstrued to be a antisemitic dog-whistle, especially in the context of the linked article.

Ah yes, going out on the balcony for a smoke, maybe some sunlight.

“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.

“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.

What a legend.

“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.

And what a weasel.

I think he's a fraud. He probably had himself shot, knowing him.

I have tidal now for over 2 years and I am very satisfied with it. Catalogue is all I want and need, quality is amazing and the suggestion feature works very well for me. Discovered quite a lot of new music and old stuff I already forgot about. So I can recommend tidal.

 

European red squirrel, northern Germany.

We live right next to a park, where a tree grows partially over our balcony, so the little one can safely come and go. Over the past weeks she's gotten more curious and has been exploring every corner of the balcony, she's also gotten more comfortable with our presence.

A few days ago we were having tea outside and she joined us briefly, so we put out some hazelnuts and she returned immediately from her lookout on the tree.

First she checked from a safe distance.

She then brought the nuts into several hiding spots around and returned again, at this point she really started to muster us. She then made a big jump right on to our table, ran across it until she sat 30cm in front of my girlfriend and stared right into the camera, that's where we took the title picture.

The photo is slightly out of focus because she ran up to us so boldly, we couldn't turn the zoom down quickly enough.

After that photo we put the camera down, to enjoy the moment more, she ran around us a little bit and then retreated back to her tree.

It seems like we made a friend that day, she comes by periodically, we bought more nuts and although she is careful around us, she accepts our presence. We can move slowly and also talk normally, just fast movements makes her a little skittish.

So greetings from Hazel to all of you, we wish you and your squirrel friends a merry autumn!
