I like the corona though.

People have indeed thought this before telescopes. You'll most likely see diffraction patterns around bright lights because of eyelashes and other imperfections, probably different for each eye but the same for all lights (technically, wavelength also matters but not really on this scale).

Right, I was expecting the earlier one to be a work of fiction

It's always day if you're a star. Or night?

Not really a bad question. The diffraction spikes have been corrected for.

You're probably right. My biggest flaw is that I fail to notice forks, guarded pieces and other obvious patterns, and don't know any nuances in the general strategy other than "exposed king bad, having more pieces good, K>Q>R>N>B>P".

Sounds like at least one of the books in question is shit

I also know how chess pieces move, other than the rare en passant, but will lose to anyone willing to challenge me and I don't think I could get much better than mediocre with any amount of practice. However, I got full marks on a Mensa IQ test so I'd say I'm intellingent in a way but with my mild autism, likely ADHD and lack of practical skills, it's hard to tell. I have done lots of stupid decisions IRL, often repeatedly.

Would I say I'm "smart"? Depends. Intelligent, probably. Wise, hell no.

The "Pixar proportions but cartoon" style is very common in AI-generated pics but it had to learn from something, I guess. The tile size in the background is inconsistent and the cap creases are a little too contrasty but that does not prove anything. The lighting and reflections are decently realistic.

The face looks very much like an AI drawing

TL;DR Inflation in 2021 got incorrectly blamed on Biden. Most incumbents in democracies worldwide got a popularity hit in the past 2 years.

Not me but millions of other people. They were also planning to assassinate Patrice Lumumba but the CIA beat them to it.
