Yeah it's a gamble but those trees are so magnificent.
Sometimes it makes me feel small but in a good way, like - no matter this tree was here way before me and will be here when I'm long gone. It's soothing in a way :)
Not to distract from lovely buffy but those olive trees are just gorgeous.
Trees like Olives and oaks fascinate me.
I remember being in Portugal and asking a old farmer 'what do you think how old that olive is?' -'Probably around 600-800years'... That tree was standing there, witnessing the reconquista. That's mind-blowing to me.
I'm not trying to give the orange fuck the benefit of doubt, just sharing my experience with situations like this, I should've pointed out that my comment is meant to be divorced from the people shown in the picture.
Honestly this is a valid reaction. I work in a live venue, so sometimes someone faints and you can't always remove them immediately from the crowd but rather have to put them on the floor to stabilize them.
There is already 4 people helping if you're a medical professional your offer to assist is greatly appreciated, but everyone else should stay the fuck away, don't stare, don't ask 'is everything alright' just stay away and give the person with a medical emergency at least some privacy. It is super intimidating to wake up from fainting in a concert venue, it's worse when there's 50 faces staring at you.
I'm in my mid thirties, me and my friends always have been like this. We also cuddle sometimes, always have.
When we had movie nights we would have what we'd call the puppy pile - just put your head on my shoulder bro.
We didn't even know it was unusual until a friend visited with his gf while we had movie night and she was endeared when she saw the puppy pile "I love how comfortable you all are with each other!" - "What do you mean?"
Depends, usual lethal radius between 5-25m, some shrapnel might be lethal beyond that. If you start driving slowly and accelerate moderately you might geht caught by some shrapnel.
Anyways, the thief would definitely notice the explosion. You would notice several blocks away.
To give this a little context :in 2023 there was a Secret meeting between afd officials and far right extremists where they discussed the deportation (remigration is a euphemism used to mask the inhumanity that is evoked here) of millions of immigrants and citizens.
After huge backlash and demonstrations in 23/24 the party started to embrace the term and wove it into their official party line, not unlike 'project 2025' from maga.
So no, it is not 'concerned citizens' that just want to protect society from 'criminals', they are racist, dehumanizing bigots who are planning fascist deportations of 'undesirables', not exclusive to immigrants but also including citizens, also not unlike ICE and MAGA are acting at the moment. Nevermind that at least in Germany this goes against basic constitutional law including article 1 of the German constitution:
"Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it is the duty of all state authority."
Went into this comment section with Kafkas "Metamorphosis" in mind, I love the opening, the whole story is genius and to this day perfectly describes large parts of German society.
All three quotes are great, how you can captivate a reader just with one sentence, all three do this perfectly.
For small vermin they may be fearsome but, as a human, have you ever stood in front of a group of huge ass seagulls with a portion of French fries or a sandwich? They are fierce and fearless monsters that will fuck you up for a piece of your food.
Wenn man Grundschule gegen Oberstufe tauscht hat das Gespräch so ähnlich tatsächlich stattgefunden.
