We now have the nuclear war and weapons thread. I have tons of good poo poo to post later but I’m also kind of sick with Covid currently…so sorry for a poo poo OP.

Enjoy a picture and the excellent movie BY DAWNS EARLY LIGHT.

Seriously the cast in this movie is bonkers tier and directed by the same guy who did Freddy 2.

They say the only winning move is not to play but humans are really good at coming up with technicalities for why they actually won when they really lost.

I spend every day from 4pm until sunset pointing my rear end skyward, spreading my butt cheeks wide while repeatedly screaming "NUKE THIS, PUTIN! NUKE MY rear end, COWARD!" and apparently he isn't listening.

Feel better, my dude.

By Dawn's Early Light is a great "what if" film from the 90s.

I cannot recommend War Games enough as well to get a good look at why nuclear war is just an all around illogical move:

If your rear end is pointed up, then your scream pipe is facing down. He can't hear you.
You need to teach that rear end to broadcast.

The fear of being one of the few hundred people killed in a random terrorist attack is so lame compared to Cold War nuclear annihilation fear.

Not really.

I mean everyone is gonna die really, really badly in the dark. Most likely wet and cold on top of it, unable to even raise the strength to curse a non-existent god or the world that put them in that spot. Worrying about who knew their neighbor or who took advantage of it for the last 15 minutes the lights were on won't even register for 99.9% of all human life left after whatever goes on.

Ok well enjoy the weekend.

Thanks! Luckily I was vaccinated and boosted so instead of dead I’m just mildly under the weather, which is a nice a trade-off. I’m still just amazed with how good the case they got for up by dawns early light was, next to like citizen X*, it was probably one of the best of the old school original HBO movies.

Basically it could out of reading stuff like that hackets World War III book and also loving the ever living poo poo out of playing Harpoon as a kid. I also blame finding a copy of managing nuclear operations in my school‘s library when I was in college and board did I like checking that book again and again. lol

Apparently Brookings is putting out a newer updated version of that to cover modern nuclear operations this year.

*Funny enough the two movies share a cast member overlap.

The thing that scares me is their media ramping up on making a nuclear strike somehow not a terrible thing, because they'll all just go to heaven! I included the time stamp, Russian broadcasters taking about the invasion:

i believe that nuclear weapons will be used to destroy a major civilian center within the next century, and it will be by accident, not intentionally launched.

humans can gently caress up any safety protocol, no matter how many redundancies are in place. it's what separates us from the animals.

I'm constantly baffled by most people's complete and utter inability to wrap their heads around the correct pronunciation of the word nuclear. Not just random people I talk to IRL, but even newscasters and experts on TV. The word doesn't contain any obscure or difficult phonemes for native English speakers. It's just so arbitrary and stupid. I remember people making fun of George Bush back in the early 2000s for saying nucular, but I think he actually ended up infecting the general public with it and now like 70% of people say it that way.

it would be kind of more fair to make the nukes sapient and then ask them what their preferred pronouns are.

that went really well in Dark Star
