@Nini1924476 legit one of the things I'd love more to see in this world cup would be the USA team being kicked by at least 5-0 in every game right in the group phase and gtfo with them

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@nestrangeiro_pt @IsraelMFA O sr. @PauloRangel_pt e este ministério podiam entender que é possível ser contra o regime do Irão e condenar os ataques dos EUA e de Israel. Façam um favor a todos e assumam a vossa verdadeira posição, em q admitem q nem todas as vidas valem o mesmo para vocês.

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@nestrangeiro_pt @IsraelMFA Portanto, vcs fazem vários tweets a condenar ataques do Irão, mas e condenar Israel e os EUA? Nada? Ou só Israel é q tem direito à defesa? Que eu saiba o Irão foi atacado no meio de negociações por táticas do sociopata do Trump. E vcs dão as Lages para tudo, com um laço à volta

@celiacorreia @samdoesntlikeu Além do mais, nessas idades ng vai falar de sexualidade explícita e no sexo. Fala-se de sentimentos e como lidar com eles, que existem pessoas diferentes de nós. E tb se ensina que não é ok um adulto tocar-lhes em partes privadas do corpo. Pesquise e informe-se

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@celiacorreia @samdoesntlikeu O problema está aí. O livro fala dos vários tipos de famílias. Já pensou nas crianças c pais divorciados? E pais que morreram? Essas crianças não têm a mesma realidade que as suas e não têm q ser excluídas por isso. Embirrar com o livro pq fala em pais gays pelo meio é homofobia

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@YacovLivne Israel and the USA concern me far more with nuclear weapons than Iran. Also, the USA as military bases all over the world, so yeah, this narrative that Iran is dangerous because of missile range is something that only dumb or facist people believe in.

@celiacorreia @samdoesntlikeu Estão na altura de formação da personalidade, que se fixa perto dos 4/5 anos. A ideia de que a escola só ensina matéria é ridícula.

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@celiacorreia @samdoesntlikeu Entretanto talvez deva pensar que privar os seus filhos de verem outras realidades não é o flex que pensa que é.

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@celiacorreia @samdoesntlikeu Os filhos pertencem aos pais? Que eu saiba, os filhos são pessoas, não pertences para alguém ser dono deles.

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@celiacorreia @samdoesntlikeu Bem, eu estou numa relação há 8 anos, mas como sou tolerante com as escolhas de vida dos outros em vez de mal educada percebo q não nos podemos entender.

Two claims. Both wrong. Let's go.
"Roman tidal baths are at the same level"
No they aren't. And the fact that you think this proves something tells me you've never studied geology, archaeology, or oceanography.The Roman port of Ephesus is now 5 miles inland. The Roman port of Ostia Antica, Rome's main harbor, is now 2 miles from the sea. The ancient Roman port at Caesarea Maritima is partially submerged. The Roman city of Baiae in the Bay of Naples is underwater, you can literally snorkel through it. Roman fish tanks along the Mediterranean coast have been used by geologists as precise sea level markers, and they show local sea level changes of up to 2 meters depending on tectonic activity. You know what else is happening? Land moves. It's called isostatic adjustment and tectonic uplift. The Mediterranean sits on an active tectonic boundary. Some coastlines rise. Some sink. Local land movement can mask or exaggerate sea level change at any single point. That's why scientists don't measure global sea level at one bath house, they use satellite altimetry across the entire ocean. Global mean sea level has risen approximately 8-9 inches since 1900, measured by tide gauges worldwide and confirmed by satellite altimetry since 1993. The rate is accelerating, it's now rising at 3.7mm per year, double the 20th century average. Antarctica and Greenland are losing ice at roughly 150 billion and 270 billion tons per year respectively. These are measured by the GRACE satellite system to extraordinary precision. One bath doesn't disprove 30 years of satellite data covering every square mile of ocean on Earth.

"CO₂ increases plant growth"
Partially true. Completely misleading. Yes, elevated CO₂ can increase photosynthesis rates in some plants under controlled laboratory conditions. This is called the CO₂ fertilization effect.

Here's what you left out:
The effect diminishes as other nutrients become limiting, plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, and water, not just CO₂. Multiple FACE experiments (Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment - real field studies, not lab conditions) show the growth boost plateaus and declines over time as soil nutrients are depleted.Higher CO₂ reduces the nutritional value of crops. Studies published in Nature and The Lancet show that elevated CO₂ decreases protein, zinc, and iron content in wheat, rice, and soybeans. You get bigger plants with less nutrition. More calories, fewer nutrients. That's not abundance - that's a global malnutrition crisis.Meanwhile, the warming caused by that CO₂ is destroying agricultural yields through heat stress, drought, flooding, and shifting growing seasons. Global wheat yields decline an estimated 6% for every degree Celsius of warming. The U.S. Corn Belt is already experiencing yield losses from increased heat and precipitation volatility. So yes, CO₂ helps plants grow in a lab. In the real world, the warming it causes is collapsing the agricultural systems that feed 8 billion people.

"Death cult"The position you're defending will cause up to 58,000 premature deaths and 37 million asthma attacks by 2055, per the Environmental Defense Fund using the EPA's own models. The administration's own data shows it raises gas prices.I'm not the one in the death cult. I'm the one who can read the data.

@carinamlj Consigo ficar sempre espantada com o pouco que as pessoas sabem sobre as funções do presidente, do governo, da assembleia da república, das assembleias municipais, das leis laborais, etc. É assustador o quão pouco sabem sobre literalmente o que decide as condições de vida delas.

[Diletante @Rebeldiletante]

Nuno Melo @NunoMeloCDS é bem o exemplo deste @govpt de @LMontenegro_PT (@ppdpsd @_CDSPP): incompetência, indigência, mentira, propaganda, incapacidade, absoluta indiferença face ao sofrimento e aos problemas das vítimas.

@DiogoGTB A minha opinião é um bocado radical mas acabava com as vendas online se pudesse. Mil vezes estar horas numa fila física do que o stress que é agora.

If you thought period diarrhoea was the end of the plot, surprise. The replies made it clear this isn’t a single symptom problem. It’s a whole anthology of side effects that people have been quietly enduring because women’s pain has a long history of being waved away. The sheer number of “omg this happens to me” responses tells you everything you need to know about how under-discussed this is. Medical misogyny is real, and it has been ignoring women’s health for decades. That silence is cracking now.

Here’s what women actually reported, in their own bodies, over and over again.

Severe lower back pain that many called the worst part of their period, not cramps. Not discomfort. One person described it as “someone actively using an axe to break my waist,” and an unsettling number of people immediately agreed.

Debilitating migraines or severe headaches, often referred to as “period migraines,” bad enough to stop work, cancel plans, and flatten entire days.

Repeated or uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, sometimes paired with cold sweats or sharp, stabbing pain, and in many cases serious enough to require ER visits or hospitalisation.

Low-grade or noticeable fevers during periods, something many were told was unrelated despite it happening every single cycle.

Cramps that refuse to stay confined to the uterus. Abdominal pain spreading into the legs and thighs, and the infamous “butthole” or rectal cramps that create constant urgency. These are especially common and especially brutal for people with endometriosis.

Bladder symptoms that show up on cue. Frequent or urgent urination, sometimes difficulty holding it, sometimes feeling like a UTI that conveniently disappears once the period ends.

Gut issues playing both sides. While some get diarrhoea, others experience constipation instead, often before their period. Add bloating and excessive gas for the full digestive chaos package.

Recurring yeast infections or itchiness just before periods, perhaps thanks to hormonal shifts that love to destabilise vaginal flora at the worst possible moment.

And then the general flare-up mode. Heavier bleeding, hormonal acne, extreme fatigue, and mood symptoms intensifying, with everything worsening if you already live with conditions like endometriosis, IBS, or hypermobility.

A common thread in the replies wasn’t just pain. It was relief. “I thought I was cursed” “I thought it was just me”. Closely followed by anger at years of being dismissed, minimised, or told this was normal without anyone explaining why or offering help.

These symptoms line up with what we already know about prostaglandins, hormonal shifts, inflammation, and the gut–brain–uterus connection. What they don’t line up with is how little space they get in medical conversations.

Like I said before, it is common. It’s real. And it’s been under-researched for far too long. If your symptoms are severe, worsening, or spilling beyond your period, seeing a doctor matters. And may you find one who listens, believes you, and treats your pain like it’s worth understanding, because it is.

@NoiteAguia Já sabia q este debate ia ser a maior bosta, qd vi q era mesmo com 4 jornalistas fiquei a ver só para ver o quão baixo ia ser o nível. @RTPNoticias @SICNoticias @cnnportugal @cmjornal Tenham vergonha da merda de jornalistas e redações que têm. Que pobreza

[Margarida Esteves @Maggpie28]

@LMontenegro_PT @PauloRangel_pt @realDonaldTrump Para quando chamarem o embaixador de Israel para ser informado que deve abandonar o país? O que é que é preciso mais que (além do genocídio que este governo AD se recusa a reconhecer) a detenção ilegal de cidadãos portugueses?

[Arda 🇸🇪🇮🇷 @Arda_swe81]

@IranObserver0 Every team should threaten with withdrawal if Israel is allowed

Give them the res card immediately

@Paulalvesilva @theluisribeiro Não há indicativos? Se calhar devias pesquisar mais porque ele fazia parte dum grupo de extrema direita chamado Groypers.

@clau_santos99 Porque acima de tudo, ainda tinha que te corrigir mesmo estando totalmente errado. xD não se inventa
