  • No they won’t

    Nukes are extremely hard to build and ensure they can explode. You’re talking extremely precisely timed explosives that with even a mili second off, will make your heavy nuke turn into a dud. Throwing a bomb right on top of one will not make it go off.

    What CAN happen is that an explosion like that ruptures the nuke had throws the fissile material around, effectively making your nuke a dirty bomb.

    Also, since they’ve been bombing nuclear facilities I can guarantee you that they have boat loads of very shitty (radioactive) chemicals laying around there which with these bombings now will also be spread around everywhere















  • No

    What we need is more bicycle roads, pedestrian walk ways and public transportation

    Suffice to say that 1 bus is safer than 30 cars but it also generates a shit tonne less pollution, but also keep in mind that the vast majority of car rides are short distance, even in the US

    In the Netherlands they changed everything to prefer bicycles and walking and it’s noticable. It changed architecture. It’s why in the Netherlands there are broad loads of small super markets. Wherever you are within a town you’ll have a super market at walking distance

    Many people there don’t have a car, not because they can’t afford it but because they don’t want one. Cars are expensive, cumbersome, dangerous, and ugly. You won’t see depressing towns there that are 70% concrete roads or parking lots. It’s all beautiful because they got rid of all that, it isn’t needed.

    In before anyone starts about how this can’t be done in the US: it can, and quite easily. Pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure costs a fraction of car infrastructure, it’s easier and faster to build, no parking lots required, you can now make that a store and get taxes from it, it’ll make your cities richer. People get more exercise, they’ll be healthier and happier, there are no downsides. Inclines near mountainous areas? Electrical bikes to the rescue.

    Please please do NOT push this car stuff, especially flying car stuff. It’s not needed, it’s a waste, it’s polluting even when electric, and we have flying cars, they’re called planes and there is a reason why pilots need to learn and train a LOT more than car drivers.





  • Yeah, no.

    For that we already have names, they’re called “names”. I have no problem with someone wanting a different pronoun, I have no problem with even a single pronoun for anyone not wanting to fit in the him/her, but all the types wanting a special pronoun njust for them to me is just an attention seeker wanting to feel special.

    If you want a (semi) unique word to refer to you, THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR NAME. I would just refer to you by your name, that’s how languages work.

    The entire “but MEMEME needs a special pronoun” is friggin annoying and the behavior has pushed a lot of people into the right. Yes, this having me as the source, but the amount of people I’ve seen hating on the special pronouns and getting more right wing really made this a topic that doesn’t do what you think it does. I think it’s harmful.

    Please, can you just be like everyone else with your pronouns? If we have three sets, say, him, her, and xer for those not wanting to be lumped in with guys and girls… We’d be fine, most people would be fine with this. No more “I want my special snowflake pronoun to be special and awesome” please pretty please.
