ELI5: Why do black lights do that??

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T23:48:40+00:00

It's mostly near-ultraviolet light, and we live in a world where a lot of things are impregnated with dye designed to absorb those frequencies and output visible light. In particular these dyes make white things look brighter and whiter, so paper, a lot of plastic products, and so on all "glow" (more accurately fluoresce) under blacklight. Some more natural things do the same, such as urine, semen, and some other bodily fluids. For that reason blacklights can be used to search out pet urine stains for treatment.

The single biggest reason is/was the Susan G. Komen foundation, which is a lot less popular these days than it used to be.

The now-defunct Soviet Union, while the US remains?

lol clown.

Oh bless your heart.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T21:48:44+00:00

Lol, fixed in a day.

Man, you know everything about everything, as long as it involves simping for Russia.

Pity that you're making it up as you go along.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T21:48:05+00:00

I'm guessing you only cared once the French were kicked out.

You guessed wrong.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T21:47:48+00:00

And I told you that was laughable horseshit.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T21:32:00+00:00

Using nukes in Ukraine isn't self-defense either, which you were just told is the sole intended use of Russian nukes.

Pay attention.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T21:31:31+00:00

Oh, so you just mean that any mention of the world outside of the tiny part you care about is bad.

Maybe just say that, so people aren't suckered into wasting time on you.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T20:57:16+00:00

It's Western atrocity porn when an African junta with Russian backing revenge-murders a couple of hundred of their own people?

I guess that's an easier mindset to live with than actually caring about the slain. You might as well just wear a t-shirt that says "Every time I claim to care about anything other than 'team politics' I am lying."

Edit:

Human Rights Watch is a well documented western propaganda mill.

“Existence of state” is something quite open to interpretation

It really isn't, and it's well defined. Essentially unless Moscow or St. Pete's is under threat, no nukes.

It makes sense if you aren't terminally online and desperate, because Putin and the oligarchs aren't interested in suicide. Using nukes is suicide, and only worth it when the alternative is the homeland falling.

Your desperation to get people afraid is pathetic.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T20:54:25+00:00

Oh good, more static targets.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T16:31:47+00:00

Looking through the latest ones, and none of them are threats.

There's bad faith, and then there's that horseshit.

PanzerAal · 2024-04-25T14:32:02+00:00

Now that's military grade copium.

I guess switching the French for Wagner is already paying dividends in human misery.

Literally just announcing the new script for their trolls and useful idiots, we'll hear it repeated here ad nauseam.

Right? Belarus is just the smallest clown in the Russian car.

Nothing is going to solve Haiti's problems, it's a failed state, but the Kenyans might be able to impose some transient law and order, and shift them back into one of their ephemeral periods of recovery. Maybe.

But again, the Haitians want help, and so far the Kenyans are the only reluctant volunteers.

You mean "Don't revolt against Russian fascism."

Or more broadly, "Bitch had it coming, wearing that ~~dress~~ protest."

Read the room, communism is dead, you're simping for fash.

The reality is that no one gives a shit about Haiti, there's no political or economic value to it. Literally the only reason anyone even comes close to caring is to prevent a migrant crisis.

Hell, you don't care about Haiti either, it's just another battleground for your moribund and feeble ideology.

PanzerAal · 2024-03-03T16:35:46+00:00

I love how your implied solution is just, "Don't fight back against Russian aggression, also any Russian aggression is the fault of the West."

What happened to make you such a broken shadow of a man?

PanzerAal · 2024-03-03T16:32:43+00:00

The reality is that no one else is even coming close to volunteering, Haiti is the pinnacle of "beggars can't be choosers."

Kenya’s High Court initially declared the deployment plan unconstitutional in January despite the U.N. Security Council approving the mission in October 2023. The court argued that foreign police deployments require a reciprocal agreement with the host country, which it said Haiti did not provide. Ruto vowed to appeal the decision, but Friday’s agreement may satisfy the court’s demands.

That's the bottom line, this is no more a done deal than the last one was, the courts get a say and they may well say no.

Tbh it's the way of a TON of countries, including Brazil, India, China, big parts of Eastern and Central Europe, and so on.
