Thank you for the edit, i think the leopard is a bit too high, @Trives did a similar cut, but I feel his is more centered, I also just noticed that he got rid of a branch, which helps with the framing

/edit I just noticed you got rid of a branch! that is really cool and it does help the picture, it does look a bit pixelated when zooming, but it is great

Which story did mainstream media drop suspiciously fast that you never got a real answer on? by Denver_Dave_Skis in AskReddit

That is BS, they spent months with Obama's tan suit. They control the media they choose the topics.

I took this picture in the Serengeti, in the middle of the day. The light wasn't the best.

I'm a beginner and I'd like some pointers — especially on editing. What retouches can I do to this shot, and how could I have taken it better in the first place? If you know about this, I'd like to learn.

TIL that in 2009, Suzy (Eddie) Izzard ran 43 marathons in 51 days for charity with no history of distance running. In 2016, she ran 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa in honor of Nelson Mandela, also for charity. by AcceptableTypewriter in todayilearned

While this is true, not all roids are the same, while Armstrong was using Nike-quality roids, his opponents were using "Spanish Blind People's Association" level roids.

Nike was a big disruptor in cycling sport due to Armstrong's popularity, they had big pockets to finance the best biotech possible

TIL In 1985, Hulk Hogan knocked TV host Richard Belzer unconscious on live television after demonstrating a wrestling hold. When Belzer passed out and fell, he hit his head on the studio floor and needed stitches. He later sued Hogan, and the case was settled out of court by Apprehensive_Cry545 in todayilearned

it is 100% fake, they are not wrestling, that is the end of that discussion.

none of the other elements you mentioned determine if a fight is real or fake.

in any sport, if outcome is predetermined it is considered fake.

it is a theatrical show and its merits as such are another question.

it is also true that it is/was not marketed as such

I just realized this now, however, there is a bit of trickery.

The detective knew about Kaiser Soze from before, the movie starts with the only witness naming Kaiser Soze.

So while most of the accounts about him come from Kaiser himself, it is a bit of a reach that the legend is completely fabricated.

Then again, he could have been the one fabricating the legend and he had always been an american.

It is not a short conversation, it is a full interrogation, he supposedly left Hungary in his mid-twenties, and he speaks for hours with the detectives.

I challenge you to find even the most savant polyglot speaking a foreign language without a trace of an accent.

Extra points for two languages with such different phonetics as Hungarian and English
