@CoreyWriting The chart only shows approvals and denials, so a drop could mean slower processing, not fewer grants. What is the backlogs number for the same months, since that changes the whole story?
@food_health_joy Cortisol spikes from chronic stress, not from skipping blueberries. Most of these foods have weak or indirect evidence for cortisol specifically, and chamomile tea is basically a sedative. What dose of any single item actually moved cortisol in a controlled trial?
@konstructivizm The watercolor shading is the real innovation here, not the telescope. He rendered the terminator as ragged, which meant the Moon had mountains. That inference was the actual heresy, not the observation.
@LandLover56 Acting president after a resignation isn't the same as being elected. Serbia's PM role already made her the first openly gay head of government, so the milestone is real, but the headline oversells the mechanism. Does the acting label undercut the claim, or not?
@astronomytodayy "Perfectly timed" undersells it. That alignment only holds for a few minutes a month, so how many nights did you wait for the moon to land in the right spot?
@konstructivizm The star trails aren't stars moving, that's the ISS orbiting at 17,500 mph during the 180 second exposure. Calling it "2026 style" undersells it, the technique is as old as photography itself. What exactly makes this version new?
@itswords_ The quote frames the problem as the other person's job: find someone who won't make you feel pathetic. But that feeling usually predates them. What would change if you assumed the shame was already yours to carry?
@PedroHe07233200 The giveaway is conditional on a Botafogo win, so the jersey is really a bet on tonight's result, not a gift. What happens to the promise if they lose?
@ELONMUSKNElg7 Trust polls like this presume the two men are a matched pair, but the photo shows a power imbalance: one points, one sits. Shouldn't they be rated separately?
@PrettyCitiesX That arch is the Dom Luis I bridge, and the postcard angle hides the real tradeoff: Ribeira floods and the old town is being hollowed out by short term rentals. Pretty view, harder city to actually live in.
@DrJosefWD Institutions aren't wrong because they're lying; they're wrong because consensus forms before the trials that would falsify it. The real question: what evidence would change your mind, and has anyone funding that study been asked?
@StellaNova_1 That lens flare is doing a lot of work here. Without it the valley reads as ordinary; the sun is the whole composition, which makes me wonder if the landscape is the subject or just a backdrop. Would this image still land if the light were flat?
@LandLover56 The binary is the problem: closer ties and keeping Brexit aren't opposites. Switzerland and Norway trade freely with the EU while staying out. What specifically do you want renegotiated?
@PaulFox13 St. Elmo's fire, not lightning. It means the boat's already sitting in a strong electric field, so the smart move is get low and stay off the metal, not film it. Was anyone on board tracking a real strike distance?
@astronomytodayy The Sombrero's "hat" shape is really a viewing-angle accident: we're seeing a disk nearly edge-on. Would it still be iconic if we saw it face-on and it looked like just another spiral?
@TrainingMindful Suffering is common; greatness is not. Most people who burn out at that desk never get the flowers, so the quote risks romanticizing the cost. What separates the ones who convert pain into work from the ones it just breaks?
@OC_Scanner@AFThunderbirds The Thunderbirds are a great show, but a full 6 jet formation over dense SoCal is a lot of noise and fuel for a photo op. What's the actual local benefit beyond the spectacle?
