It's very important.

And then the first Asian woman, then African, then Hispanic. And of course none of that will be acceptable because why were some first.

Then of course the first Filipina woman, then the first Egyptian, then Mexico. We'll do old and young as well.

Then of course we'll do the first American Asian, and Asian Asian, etc. We don't want anyone to feel left out, naturally.

And all of this of course is important, because we're all the same, but we're also all different.

Not that we don't already have plenty of women-identifying astronauts to begin with, who are already doing all sorts of things. Can't we just do more space missions instead of some sort of records setting ?

a) I wasn't replying to you.
b) way to say "no" then say the exact same thing.

These are equivalent:
  you're implying there should be negative consequences for following the "wrong" thing?
  negative consequences for people who subscribe to conspiracy theories.

Again: what if I "subscribe" to conspiracy theories to find out what they're about, find them entertaining, or just generally want to ?

Are you going to burn in your witch hunt all Sasquatch, loch ness, and aesop's fables?

Just because you read sci-fi, doesn't make you a person that "believes in it".

Oh, I see, you mean "some definition of subscribe", and "some definition of conspiracy theory" - where I'm guessing you are the judge and the jury for these definitions?

How do you not get how stupid this is?

That is NOT a really interesting idea. You holier than thou idiots are fucking idiots.

I'm not on social media, I don't know or care if we're talking about FB or Twitter, I only sort of know what QAnon is.

However - you're implying there should be negative consequences for following the "wrong" thing? Most of it sounds like over the top parody shit - can you not follow that stuff to laugh at / with it? Can you not follow stuff just to see what it is saying (even though you disagree?)

CNN often makes this mistake - "horrible video X (Qanon, let's say)" - has 10 million views - 10 million people must support Qanon! Watching a video, following a channel, whatever, does NOT mean you support whatever it is.

What a great world the left is proposing to fight the right.

Yup, it's definitely just Americans that believe in garbage.

Tell me where you're from? I'm happy to find some garbage conspiracy theories by some of your more garbage people.

Can't wait to be smoldering in history's scrap heap - want to go look at some of the amazing conspiracy theories going around China?

Right, Taiwan, which has almost no cases. Good example.

And yup, we definitely can't guess what will happen without data. We should probably launch a study with masked versus unmasked baseball games. And of course, a control of not going at all. I wonder which will spread less covid? Well, I guess we don't know, we don't have the data!

How you don't understand seated baseball fans versus crowds moving around is beyond me. Have you just never been to a large event?

You passive aggressively mask your emotion, well done! I'll take the opposite approach, thanks.

The problem is with the fucking IDIOTS that think we all need to wear masks, yet think going to large sporting events is fine.

Wearing a mask is a risk / rate thing. If you believe in the need to cut the rate / risk, you should also believe in not attending a fucking baseball game. Of course, your post mentions nothing of that, just mad at "non-maskers".

But no, it's just the maskless idiots, right? Not the other idiots gathering for no fucking reason. If you're increasing risk, but being a super pro-masker, you're a moron, and you are the problem.

** before you go nuts, I've had covid, I still wear a mask.
