    Yeah my kittens took about a week before they would actually come out and be visible while we were in the same room. For that first week, they would only come out to eat when we stepped out or were asleep and they’d hide all day if we were in the room with them






  • I honestly don’t care who wrote it. Point is an article was written 75 god damn years ago which specifically denounces the Technocracy proposed mere weeks ago. The article is well written, he doesn’t claim to be all-knowing because he’s good at math, he claims that he has opinions. They happen to be opinions that make a lot of sense.

    TLDR: Hobo Johnson did a musical rendition of some select quotes from the article. If the article is too cumbersome to read, listen to the song. It gets a lot of the point across.

    ETA: Einstein lived through the rise of Nazi Germany. He has direct experience in a situation like ours, more than most living Americans. At least in this way, he is more than just some dude on this subject. He has seen a mock-socialism be attempted and failed, and had ideas about how to handle those failures.






  • Considered “friendly” by Israel

    Not by Israel, by the system in place for nuclear warheads.

    The good system will magically discern…

    The system doesn’t have to, the people do. And they’re quite good at it.

    If you’re willing to spend the money…

    You are absolutely right that resources would have to be moved around. This system, however, is not owned or controlled by a single country. How those resources would get moved around would be way above my pay grade


  • Must be super radioactive…

    Should kill every human in the area instantly

    Counterpoint: What if Superman has an element in his body that is crucial to his makeup that is specifically destroyed/harmed by the radioactivity, while that radioactivity passes harmlessly through any other element?An anti-krypton element of sorts, if you will.

    Krypton, for example, could be emitting a wave with incredibly low amplitude, but incredibly high frequency. This combination would struggle to make contact with the atoms in normally-dense objects here on Earth, but would strike an ultra-dense object like anti-krypton like a truck.




  • I think @[email protected] gave you a great breakdown, and I’ll add a little more.

    I’ve worked with military technologies before. Unfortunately, I can’t give away many details for relatively obvious reasons. However, I can tell you with absolute confidence that in the case of a ICBM with a nuclear warhead being launched, there is a close to 0 chance it will ever land on Earth. In fact, ICBMs are almost entirely useless technology nowadays.

    A nuclear warhead may also be delivered via plane, a la WWII. This too, is largely a nonissue. The odds of a plane getting deep enough into a country while carrying a weapon like that while under the level of surveillance that is currently going on are again, close to 0.

    There’s a reason nobody has dropped any Nukes yet. It’s not because anyone is afraid of the consequences. It’s because it’s so close to impossible for it be an actual threat.

    Random update: my kitties did not grow up to look like yours as much as I thought! Just about fully grown as they cross their one year mark now, but they’ve hardly changed at all haha
