If you're being pressured/manipulated/... the person doing so is responsible for that, so culpable as well - but not in place - if applicable.
This would then also be valid for young people being brainwashed into blindly following orders. Nonetheless, I feel like they still are partly responsible. And all those soldiers abusing their power and committing atrocities are also responsible for that (although the structure they are in also enables and produces this abuse).
There are a lot of fossilized records. You can see various examples of whole trunks or roots here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigillaria?wprov=sfla1
Alliaria petiolata is a pretty common herb in Europe (at least here in Germany) and it is related to mustard, cabbage plants and rapeseed. It does have a garlicky smell, but I wouldn't really use it as an replacement to real garlic. Garlic plants are not related to it at all and are very different. Allium ursinum (wild garlic) on the other hand is also pretty common here and actually tastes like garlic.
Ja, hatte ich neulich auch, dass ich stichprobenartig bei Lidl kontrolliert wurde. Der Mitarbeiter hat sich meinen Einkauf gar nicht wirklich angeguckt, sondern vor allem mir kurz in die Augen geschaut und abgecheckt, ob ich irgendwie nervös bin. Dann haben wir uns zugenickt und er hat mir den Einkauf freigegeben. Hatte auch schon mal ne Kontrolle, als ich "aus Versehen" mal paar teure Artikel nicht eingescannt hatte. Aber da hat der Mitarbeiter einfach direkt die Karte zum Entsperren rangehalten. Ich seh aber auch nicht aus wie ne Person, die was klauen würde und ich wette, diese willkürliche Sichtkontrolle durch Mitarbeitende verstärkt klassistische und rassistische Kontrollen nur.
To me the coolest ones are certainly any prehistoric Lycopodiopsida, like the Sigillaria shown here!
I'm not related with it, they only have a staff of about 20 people. But it is a citizen science project, so in a way everyone actively using the site is related to it.
No, I don't know a lot about local Indian politics. But I know from other countries about how export of living organisms is often a contested subject.
How is iNaturalist not open source? They've got their code openly published and everyone is welcome to use their dataset. You can write some code and use their API, it's pretty easy to get started.

I don't get what your link has got to do with an online platform like iNaturalist. Biopiracy definitely is an important issue in general, but what is the point you're trying to make here? If you don't want to use iNaturalist, fine. But you don't need to come up with nonsensical excuses...
Good point that there is a distinction between the quantity of cuteness (finding most of a population cute vs only a few individuals). Although part of it might be a cultural bias because cute dogs and hot people are given much more presentation in our society. Like watching a movie and nearly everyone is conventionally attractive. There are many dogs out there that aren't cute at all, but they aren't usually shown in posts/videos about cute dogs.
Regarding the evolutionary adaptation you were hinting at, I think the domestication syndrome makes it so that we see animals like dogs as partly infant-like. That is, bigger eyes, round features, etc. So maybe there is some trained response in us that reacts to those infant-like features? There is definitely some positive association because otherwise the domestication syndrome wouldn't be such an universal thing.
I'm not even trying to suggest any judgement, if anything I'm just lamenting something that for my entire lifetime I have not been able to relate to or understand in my peers, which makes me feel somehow lacking, I guess.
I get that. Like I said, I feel somewhat similar towards human babies. Although since I'm an aunt and more in contact with infants/small children, I now understand it a bit better. I think you would probably find dogs much cuter once you get to develop a relationship with one. A friend of mine has been sitting a dog for some months now (only once a week) and his behavior towards dogs has completely shifted. Before he thought they were annoying or unimportant, now he always points out cute dogs in his environment. And I think building a connection is really the magic of it all. I grew up with a dog and she was really like my sister. I felt much sadder about her death than about my grandparents' deaths, because I was closer to her than to them.
Here is the website: https://inaturalist.org/
You can make an account and start uploading pictures of whatever organism you like, be it a plant, fungus, animal, etc. There is a pretty good computer vision model that can give you automatic suggestions. But the true value lies in other people identifying your observations and sharing their knowledge.
If you want to upload photos, please read the following tutorial first :) https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000192921-how-to-make-an-observation
So you don't understand how it feels to find something cute? Or how people see other people as cute? Or as beautiful? Or as attractive? It's just another human like everyone else, what's the big deal? kind of?
Not mad about you not relating to the love for dogs, just curious. I feel the same way about human babies, but I'm aware that's something similar to when I find something cute.
Do you know about iNaturalist? It is a wonderful community of people that are just like you asking what a certain organism is and then helping each other identify these organisms. You could upload your pictures there, too. However, you'd have to also have a rough location and also take some extra pictures of the plants. There are hundreds if not thousands of plant species that look a bit like what I can see here. So taking better pictures of different parts of a plant really helps.
You're not dragging anyone down a rabbit hole, you're not even showing the rabbit hole, so far you've just talked about it. Doing a quick search, what "communalism" might be, these are some definitions I've found:
The concept of ‘communalism’ is based on that of ‘community’ and has to be understood in relation to the concepts of ‘nation’ and ‘civil society.’ Communalism signifies a politics of belonging that does not emphasize the nation in all its diversity, but the homogenous, religious community. It should be clear that the term communalism comes up as an alternative to nationalism, both in theories that explain the failure of the nation-state to emerge in certain parts of the world and in theories that explain the demise of the nation-state under conditions of globalisation. Like the use of the concept of ‘tribalism’ in the study of African politics ‘communalism’ is primarily used in the analysis of Indian society and politics and is seldom encountered in theoretical arguments of a more general nature.
Communalism refers to communities of belonging and especially to such communities in Indian society. More specifically, it refers to the articulation of religious communities into mutually antagonistic, social, political, and economic groups. It emerges within the context of the colonial modernization of Indian society, in which the Indian population was classified, counted, and measured in terms of community. Communalist ideologies emerged in India in the Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh communities. Today they are connected to forms of transnational community.

But that's probably not what you're talking about, right?
Mit Geldstrafen kommen wir nicht mehr weiter. Abschaltung, Zerschlagung oder Haftstrafen – das ist das Einzige, was diese Konzerne jetzt noch stoppen kann. Wir sollten schleunigst damit beginnen, in diesen Kategorien zu denken. Bevor es zu spät ist.
Dem stimme ich zu, bin mir aber nicht sicher, was die Kosten wären, die wir deswegen zu tragen hätten. Wie würde z.B. Trumps Regierung darauf reagieren (Krieg?)? Oder haben wir überhaupt die Möglichkeit, die Zerschlagung oder Inhaftierung anzuordnen? Gibt es irgendwelche Abmachungen oder bilaterale Verträge, die wir damir brechen würden?
Wo steht in dem Artikel was von einem Vergleich der Pogromnacht und dem Gaza-Konflikt? Der Redner wurde halt eingeladen, um über die Pogromnacht zu sprechen. Und ich glaube du verschließt dich hier auch nur der Auseinandersetzung passt das was passiert ist an deine vorher bestehenden Überzeugungen an.
Wow, super geschriebener Artikel und es heute wichtiger denn je, uns um eine gute Diskussionskultur zu bemühen! Wie hier jüdische Menschen die Diskussion und einen unbequemen Realitätscheck verweigert haben, so machen das ja auch sehr viele Menschen jeden Tag, unabhängig von ihrer Religion.
Good idea, this actually makes more sense!
We've had research on research for decades if not centuries. I don't get the meme :|
If anyone else wonders:
