No, @Greyblades, those images seem to be hosted on Reddit (or Reddit is an intermediary).
Long-standing ORG rules against hotlinking are that all posted images must be off your own bandwidth, whether the forum-provided attachment space or some third-party hosting site.

Wow. That has gotta be the most obscure and unenforced rule ever.
Seriously ive been posting these images for years, several of them beskar thanked. It's never come up.
Well, to tell the truth -
I've posted a couple of hotlinked images myself over the years.
I was only told of once, though.

The biggest reason for the rule was because when bandwidth was a premium for website hosting, if you hot-linked a picture, they used to re-direct it to explicit material to discourage you. So lets say GB posted a harmless picture about bunnies and hot-linked it, he would see the bunnies do the saved local copy in his cache, but us who didn't see it on the source site would see your worse nightmare in explicit poses.
That said, Mont is correct that imgur.com is the recommended website for linking to pictures from (which I use myself). It does get enforced from time-to-time, but usually only because it comes up with things like "STOP HOTLINKING US" picture, or the above.

Looks like the Germans will have to pay extra for gassoline because of the messias-complex of the childless mutti. Yeah it costs money quelle surprise mon dieux brrrr wir brrr schaffen das
That is wrong on several levels:
1) "Looks like" suggests that it is almost certain, it was so far just an idea that was immediately criticized by a lot of people.
2) You suggest Merkel is to blame but the idea came from our minister of finance Wolfgang Schäuble. He has crazy ideas once in a while.
3) Ahahaha, Germans? He suggested an EU-wide tax on gasoline...
