An Idea To Prevent A Nuclear War
“My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If ever the President wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, “George, I’m sorry but tens of millions must die.” He has to look at someone and realize what death is—what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It’s reality brought home.” - Richard Fisher, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (1981)
Never forget that part of the reason this system was never implemented was that when he presented it to his colleagues, their response was IIRC “George, that’s terrible! If he has to take an innocent life, he may never press the button.”
why would u leave this in the tags!
wild how like PCOS, endometriosis, vaginismus & hell, even frequent yeast infections are “mysterious” with no well known cause and little to no decent treatment, but we have tons of supposedly well researched body fat removal methods, about 20 different kinds of breast implants, laser hair removal, and 100 different dermatologist recommended anti aging creams. we sure had the money and brainpower to cure those “diseases”
Prostitutes and Sugar Babies provide a greater value to society than day-traders and crypto speculators, but receive little to no respect by comparison.
The world wants you to have low expectations, but has high expectations on you
why do coffee makers growl at you. What's the point of all that
They’re called baristas and they’re working very hard, they deserve to let off steam however they’d like.
swear to god i don't mean this in a pretentious way but being in public in any kind of alt fashion really does feel like this sometimes
There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.
I’m genuinely worrying about people whose main source of social development comes like 100% from these incredibly insular and entirely unregulated internet spaces. Like this isn’t even a “technology is bad and kids these days don’t learn how to talk to one another” post, it’s a “basic conflict resolution skills and the practical realities of interacting with human beings are the sort of things you probably shouldn’t learn in an unstructured environment, populated largely by antisocial weirdos, and when you do develop your interpersonal skills entirely in that environment, you’re going to have a fast and rude awakening when you finally do have to apply those skills outside the tiny toxic community you cultivated them in and find that they don’t transfer well to classroom discussions or dates or job interviews or having a roommate”
yeah i admit this is kinda me… this is one of the themes of us as a society transitioning from the age of pisces to the age of aquarius, Aquarius is very social but could also be the awkward loner, the outcast, the pariah, the maverick…
maybe this is a theme for people with personal planets in the 12th house? maybe the 11th house plays into it cuz that rules the internet.
children are being held back from social development because schools are now on Zoom meetings, they’ll miss critical markers in learning how to act during whatever age they currently are. i hope schools reopen this upcoming school year, we cannot do this to children!
anyone feel free to reblog with your thoughts.
See this is a great example of the sort of thing I’m talking about. Clearly, in your social space, all of this is considered a pretty normal and appropriate thing to say to a complete stranger, and not something that reasonably makes everyone who hears it go home and say “papa, today I met someone who made no sense at all and seemed to relish in it”
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
North Koreans believe they live in the best country in the world because they’re brainwashed by their government and the media.
But I know that can’t possibly be true. Because every American knows that America is the best country in the world.
Dads don’t tell dad jokes because they think they are funny, they tell dad jokes because they think their kids reactions to the joke are funny.
I once had a neighbor who was thoroughly convinced their indoor/outdoor cat never strayed further than a couple houses around. As proof, she put a GPS tracker and little camera on her cat. 24 hours later she had the proof she didn't want. Her cat went as far as a mile away, into the nearby woods where their were coyotes and other predators that would a snack of her cat. Her cat crossed the interstate several times, went to a construction site, and various other places that had me surprised her cat was still alive.
The following week was full of them building a catio and enriching their home. The cat became an indoor cat and chilled out very happily in the catio. They spent the summer harness and leash training their cat as well.
Oh, and the cat killed over a dozen birds and didn't eat any of them in the single day my owner tracked them with the camera and GPS. They had been going out daily for over a year. Imagine a cat killing 12 birds a day, everyday, for just a year. That devastates the local bird population and leads to the extinction of entire species.
Enrich your home, install a catio, get a few cat trees/towers, play with your cat, and they'll live long healthy lives. No worries about some random person killing them with poison or shooting them, no worries about them getting hit by a car, no worries about destroying the local ecosystem. My cats are 17 and 15 years old, 100% indoors their entire lives, and they're happy.
Oh and since avian flu aka bird flu is spreading, please remember that it kills animals that eat the contaminated meat. That means if a cat kills an infected bird and eats it, they will get sick and die.
I think the radical left isn't radical enough
the radical right are gunning down protestors and getting acquitted and put on talk shows. I think we really should start making people afraid to be like that again. Rittenhouse shouldve been assassinated on the court steps, but instead he gets compared to voldemort on Twitter.
fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho
