Are you scared of nuclear war/death?

Seems like we’re potentially nearing the end here. Are you aloof? scared? Happy?

I gotta say, personally, I don’t really care how it goes.

I’ve also been quite stoned.

Back when I was a kid living in Podunk MN, population 1,432, I figured they’d go for the big cities like Minneapolis and St Paul.

Now, I live very near a major metropolitan area, so, like the Far Side deer, it’s a helluva birthmark.

How far does that nuclear blast & radiation travel anyway?

Will I be safe if I wear an N95? Take that, you anti-maskers!

Depends a lot on the payload…

I’m still holding out hope these military satellites are armed with lazers

I live in a large-ish city with a huge Defense Supply Center. I assume that makes it more of a target? But idk.

I’d rather be hit directly though than die of radiation poisoning. I read about that girl making those paper cranes, no thanks.

Ideally would prefer to not be nuked at all, of course.

I think it’s quite fair! My grandparents went through WWII, my parents grew up poor as a result. I grew up all happy and rich. It’s time the millennials start experiencing what the rest of humanity has always experienced.

I figure no way will an individual russian actually launch. Though maybe they’ve plannee for that. So, not worried.
Spoke with a friend today who is concerned. But he’s polish and his dad survived the concentration camps so he’s got a different perspective.

Seems like you’re giving issues a lot more weight than they deserve.

aloof? Nah.

scared? Nah.

happy? Nah. I am fairly content with my life, though. I am not scared of dying. I know, I know, but think of your children! Well, I’ve got life insurance, and I won’t know that I’m dead once I’m dead, so, there’s that. And then, when my children are dead, they won’t know that I ever existed or am dead, so, why worry?

if jsm is a good representation of millennials, it’s kinda ironic

stock market crash 2008: pissed
global warming: pissed
runaway real estate market: pissed
end of the world: happy

kinda makes sense inna scorched earth way
