Where is the confused emoji?! Bring it back!!

As Sheryl has already said, this is not really a very large stone. I had one of slightly larger size, it was broken up by lithotripsy and I had to stay stationary at the hospital for two days to pass the first broken up fragments and to see in a follow-up that the break-up was successful. Actually the most painful action in the whole process was the pulling of the catheter. The whole procedure was done in Germany though.

Very definitely ringworm, as the first poster stated, a fungal infection. My daughter, who swims often, has the same one, likely from infected water in the pool. It is essentially harmless, but can spread if unattended. It is actually the same or of the same family as athlete's foot, so if you have an infection between your toes, I would cure it with the same method: antifungal creme (you can get these over the counter), and if the skin is very rough or even already broken up, a zinc creme to prevent secondary bacterial infections. It can take a number of days, maybe two weeks, for symptoms to recede, so apply daily until you see an effect.

It even says right beside the post, where I am located at. But nice try, bringing now Arabs into the discussion. You Americans are really obsessed.

... just waiting, until Americans are prohibited large parts of Asia. Might put some on this forum into a bit of a pickle.

You really are juxtaposing jaded male trust fund babies picking up easy women on the beach with a hard-working family man passionate in his cultural roots? I would say the lower picture shows a reprehensible degradation of morals, which led directly to the unfortunate situation the USA is in right now. 😁

Indeed I find it very telling, that the Americans as a whole are now that uneducated, that they are seemingly not even able to implement fascism proper. It is all just words, and chaos, with partisan camps jeering for the burning down of the other. For those who were too stupid to get the idea themselves: instead of slogans, a proper civil war would be surely really, really, really helpful to put some strength behind your arguments. "Discuss". 😆

Actually, if I could pick, I would choose all of the above, just three times more of it. It is amazing, how blind and easily led the average American is. I find it delightful to see, how the American public is split right in the middle, moving towards destroying their own economy, and in the process, loosing all undue political might around the globe, especially in Europe. The faster the USA now self-destructs, the better. And I say that in the surety, that a really large number of Americans themselves will cheer the flames on, depending on which side the fire breaks out first.

Right. 🤪

Does nobody see that the sales woman at the counter is completely ignoring the man, first as he tries to order a water (in Thai), then as he tries to pay for it? She even walks away and shows him her back as he pulls out the money. It is then that he empties the bottle into the pot, obviously quite triggered by this.

If you re-read my post, I am not beating up on the Americans for the deaths in WW2 -- but for all the deaths that followed in their many, many undeclared wars all over the planet. It seems, that specifically the USA has not learned the lesson of WW2, literally killing millions since then (the majority civilians). Now they are preaching to the world as if they are morality and wisdom incarnated, while they have a president implementing the Nazi playbook action for action just as I write this. Just today the news that Trump wants to suspend the habeas corpus; we just need to wait what will be their version of the "invasion of Poland": Greenland, Panama, Canada, Gaza... and finally, at the moment, the USA is "just" trying to deport people -- as did Nazi Germany in the beginning, even though neither the UK nor the USA wanted the Jews -- but this is already a slippery slope: will their version of concentration camps be in Guantanamo Cuba, Cecot El Salvador or a more exotic place like Lybia? I believe the world has learned their lessons, but no American has the right to say a single word: right now, they are literally the bad guys.

I am being an ass? Maybe. But you, a citizen of the most bloodthirsty country on the planet within the last 80 years, with dozens of conflicts and wars in this time, should at least be precise -- so what are you? I think we should also reflect on this day, how far the actions of the USA are from the spirit of this special occasion. Im am literally sick hearing holier-than-you Americans preach to us about the horros of war and collateral civilian deaths, while at the same time bombing and incarcerating people as their daily mood dictates. I believe, if Germans should hang their head in shame about historical things, you Americans are standing right beside us on this pillory of shame -- but you seem to not even be aware of it.

The USA is not known to follow international law and declare their wars, not since 1945. They are standing above all laws and rules, has nobody told you? This is why the USA can simultaneously have a president invoking war time emergency powers to deport invaders and strike other nations pre-emptively with economic sanctions (tariffs), while at the same time not being in a state of war. It is grotesque, to use a nice word. Maybe Americans should reflect on that, instead of being moral apostles on a high horse.

Quite the confusing table you posted there, following your comment. Really, Germany caused millions of civilian deaths in China ??! Also quite missing, where are the millions of people the USA killed; are they not worth even a mention??

A decision to be made before end of the year, production locations to be announced 2026. Then re-tooling of production lines, might take another 1-2 years. Trump will not be in office any more when this truly comes to pass... such are the time lines in industrial production. This is purely a political signal.
