We could be, but this is part of the most accurate and best-proven scientific theory in existence.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in FDA’s Own Reputation Could Be Restraining Its Misinfo Fight by Wagamaga
I live with a reporter for the mainstream media (large public broadcasting station) and get to experience her job from the home office. Editorial meetings involve arguments about what to cover and how.
"Everything" includes a lot of bullshit opinions, and it's folly to assume we each have the background necessary to separate truth from falsehood across every topic.

This is a contextually small-potatoes (331 people) situation involving blameless victims, the UN can have a ton of influence when it can get good PR in return.

I've lived in this state for 43 years and worked for political campaigns.
I mean it absolutely is corrupt here, but it's more like giving your friends big nonprofit contracts. Not bag-of-cash stuff.
Different places have different political cultures.

They're probably drinking it. Financial corruption is not really part of political culture around here.

Reply to Why do some allergies get worse over time and some better? And how does allergen desensitivity work without making the reaction worse? by DontDoDrugs316
I had terrible cat allergies when I was a kid. Lived with cats in my 20s they mostly went away. Started dating a girl with a cat in my late 30s, they came back and went away again. Got a couple cats a couple years later, of a bread that's supposed to be "hypoallergenic" (bengals) and had my first asthma attack with strong allergies ever since.
Idk how it works but modern OTC allergy meds are stronk enough that I can kiss their sweet bellies whenever I want. Pic related.

The combined name is definitely shitty, but I can't think of a brand in media with more recognition and retro appeal than Paramount. It was an OG movie studio and a highly promoted brand until very recently.

Reply to Ancient humans and their early depictions of the universe: “It is no exaggeration to say that astronomy has existed as an exact science for more than five millennia,” writes the late science historian John North. by clayt6
I mean people have probably been making "stick-henge" calendars for tens of thousands of years. Clever people who could predict seasons and astronomical phenomena would have been highly respected.

It was during the summer and there was only about twelve feet that was more of a climb than a scramble or a hike.

Russia will remain an essential language for travel and commerce in the region and this issue will sort itself out over the next couple of decades. Young Lithuanians have no cultural connection to Russia or the USSR.

Purpose-designed small-batch Japanese paper made for hand-folding, not machine-printing?
It's fundamentally different than anything your company buys.

It is definitely a otherworldly landscape, just a different "other world."
Nobody actually knew what the surface of the moon looked like before the 60s, and it wouldn't surprise me if the viewpoint was named before then.
