I once read that pokerstars uses the cosmic background noise to shuffle cards (sorting cards might be a more apparent term here.

Well, I forgot that he shot his sergeant first before he shot himself. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.

So the meme creator is claiming a similarity in looks between Paula and Vance and wants him to shoot trump and himself?

Not funny imo, just another bad meme with the core topic of inciting violence and supporting murder.

I searched for the name as well, and the only white dude in their twenties that showed up was Mikko Räsänen, a handball player.

Edit: But I found this article: https://redflare.info/articles/mrag-mixed-race-finnish-neo-nazi-behind-uks-race-riots/

Private ~~Paula~~ Pyle from Full Metal Jacket

He blew his head out because he got bullied by his sergeant and got assaulted by the whole platoon.

I still don't get the meme though.

I think you're true for Germany.

The first part of the law is pretty clear and seems to support my idea.

(3) Bildträger, die nicht oder mit "Keine Jugendfreigabe" nach § 14 Abs. 2 von der obersten Landesbehörde oder einer Organisation der freiwilligen Selbstkontrolle im Rahmen des Verfahrens nach § 14 Abs. 6 oder nach § 14 Abs. 7 vom Anbieter gekennzeichnet sind, dürfen

einem Kind oder einer jugendlichen Person nicht angeboten, überlassen oder sonst zugänglich gemacht werden,

It says that you're not allowed to show or sell the material to children if it doesn't have a label.

The 2nd part is worded more difficult

nicht im Einzelhandel außerhalb von Geschäftsräumen, in Kiosken oder anderen Verkaufsstellen, die Kunden nicht zu betreten pflegen, oder im Versandhandel angeboten oder überlassen werden.

It says it isn't allowed to sell them outside of stores like corner shops, mail orders and otherwise POS that people don't enter. This might include Steam online services, but it just says "enter" and not "physically enter" which might give leeway that an account with password might technically fulfil that requirement, but then you would be fighting before a judge about the definition of entering a store.

It's complicated as usual and I can see why Steam doesn't want to rock the boat and end up having to require passports for signing up, rather sooner than later.

Services around the world seem to be affected. Reports of chaos at airports and hospitals emerge.

 

The data showed an increase in hospital admissions of children due to diseases including bacterial infection, RSV, influenza and common cold viruses since October.

Leading scientists said the situation warranted close monitoring, but were not convinced the spike signalled the start of a new global outbreak.

The standard wording of the alert echoed the first-ever notice about what would become COVID-19, sent on December 30, 2019: "Undiagnosed pneumonia — China (Hubei)."

US-Canada bridge blast: 'No indication of terrorism' The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Wednesday it was looking into a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between the United States and Canada, located near Niagara Falls.

"There is no evidence at this time that this was terrorist activity," Hochul told a briefing. "(It was) a horrific incident, a crash, an explosion... but at this time no known terrorist connection." 

The two victims' identities were not yet public.  

Hochul said their vehicle may have been from western New York state.
