Astronomers track centimeter-sized rocks up in space. Tracking a mosquito in the same room is not an issue. The rest of the "invention" is the problem.

Pulled it out of their ass. There aren't patents for mosquito lasers or what have you. The idea is just moronic. It is a fun engineering challenge but ultimately doesn't transfer to the real world. You cannot scale it. It is dangerous. It is expensive to keep running / maintained. It has a direct competitor that works 100x better in the form of pesticide / poisons. Also a mosquito net works wonders, is scalable, cheap and efficient.

Rage bait try hardrr

Sure, just don't complain that Biden or Harris would've been different on Palestine.

Because we just had a Biden term and a year of escalation happening, with no actual steps to stop it. Only PR moves like the pier, that was only there for the IDF, not for the aid. Then we had the campaign, with messaging being "we don't care about Palestine" and nothing else.

Like, holy shit, you could just as well say "how would you know Trump is going to be bad for Palestine?" and it would be exactly as nonsensical - because we have the pattern of behavior from earlier and the campaigning. Harris embraced Biden's politics instead of distancing herself from them, it's that simple.

Right now Biden is unburdened by a presidential campaign. He could do whatever he wants, or at least try to. He is trying to send as much weapons to Ukraine as possible (which is great don't get me wrong). He is acting. Yet jack shit is done with Palestine because there is no political will to do anything.

And all of this because of people who tried to push "go vote for her anyway". As if we are in some bizzarro world where a party gets people's votes for not doing what the people want them to do.

Your blood would literally boil the second you are exposed to the vacuum of space. You are dead long before you reach it. Maybe if they fire you off in a torpedo. But then some mutineer could fuck with the targetting systems and keep you alive.

There is no case to sue them. It's the management responsibility, not the workers to assign work. They don't need to go out seeking it.

You say that straight people aren't bullied for being straight, and yet the straight tag is in quotation marks and costs 9999 instead of 75. Which is bullying compared to other tags.

I myself am bi. I would never "wear" a badge saying that. But I understand people that would want to. I also understand people who would want to wear a straight badge. And saying that the only reason to wear one is to be reactionary to gay pride and to "be a counter movement" feels like gatekeeping people away from their sexual identity. I don't want "straight" to be "normal" and "gay" to be "abnormal". Assumptions ruin this world and lead to stereotypes.
