Wenn man Grundschule gegen Oberstufe tauscht hat das Gespräch so ähnlich tatsächlich stattgefunden.

Ein guter Freund und ich haben neulich festgestellt, dass unsere Freundschaft mittlerweile volljährig ist.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

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.

Haha same, I just treat it as one long book with several acts. Yeah loving it, I like how Asimov doesn't dwell on overbearing descriptions of battles or the like but has a very calm way to tell the story. Unlike Stanislav Lem, in Solaris I had to skip several passages that were just unreadable to me, especially in the descriptions of the forms the ocean build, after like three paragraphs I was like 'alright soa little like stalagmites, thanks' and skipped ahead until he came back to the story. I love his books nonetheless, if you haven't read them already I highly recommend them.

Funny, I'm also reading foundation right now and had the same realization. Generally I am noticing how much Foundation influenced other sci-fi, like Trantor being the inspiration for coruscant in star wars.

...brauchst nicht gleich so defensiv zu werden, ich habe mich nicht an der vegan Diskussion beteiligt, habe nur bemerkt, dass das sprachlich zumindest in meiner Wahrnehmung keinen Unterschied macht, man kann zum Umweltschutz "missionieren", man kann für Anime "missionieren" usw.

Wie das Wort Canon vom religiösen in einen größeren Kontext gewandelt worden ist.

jemanden von den eigenen Wertvorstellung zu überzeugen, mit Missionsarbeit gleichzusetzen

Finde ich aber durchaus zutreffend, völlig wertungsfrei, Missionierung ist im Grunde genommen genau das, jemanden von der Wahrheit der eigenen Botschaft überzeugen, bzw für die eigenen Werte werben und dem Gegenüber anbieten sie zu teilen.

Also rein semantisch sehe ich keinen großen Unterschied ob es jetzt Religion oder irgendein anderes Glaubenssystem ist was dort vermittelt wird.

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.

I overall agree with your sentiment.

 

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!
