  • I don't remember, it just kind of dropped out of the conversation because it never happened the way they said it was going to. I'd advise looking up the nuclear winter concept if you want to know more. Or just watch Threads, it's terrifying. If you really want to go down a rabbit hole look up 10,000 years ago during the previous Ice Age and wolly mammoths. I got into super prehistory of hominids and it's fascinating, Gobekli Tepe and such. There was also increased CO2 then too which caused the Sahara Desert to bloom. There were rivers and forests. That's why they haven't found much more evidence of early hominids, they aren't digging in the right place. Egypt is great, there are 5 star hotels and everything. Dig in the desert, with all that sand and live in a hot tent? Decline.

  • Yes enlisted sailors are working class. They are trading their labor for a wage. Draftees are even worse, literal slaves who do not know why they are fighting each other and only wish to go home, as in the Great War that led to the Potemkin incident.

  • It was the soot from pollution, what we today call PM25 that was going to blot out the sun.The same effect that would cause a nuclear winter as the detonations blasted tons of soil into the stratosphere which would take centuries to fall to earth. Crops would fail from lack of sunlight and lead to mass starvation. It's featured in the British dystopia movie Threads. Global Cooling in response to Global Warming is a key point of why Al Gore rebranded it to climate change.

  • Sailors are working class. The entire point of the Mutiny on the Battleship Potemkin was that their lives were about to be wasted in a completely pointless operation. Like right now. This is really mean-spirited. Iran has supersonic cruise missiles and this ship is the biggest target. If it is hit it is a HUGE escalation guaranteed to cause tens of thousands of deaths. Of working class on all sides.

  • Damn, thought it said chinamaxxer. That is an idea, though.

    .

  • This is the 1970s "Global Cooling" and the same as Nuclear Winter.

  • I think Reddit's huge hard-on for China hate came from (1) CIA ops and (2) desire to have someone even lower than themselves who they could shit on freely. They might be skeezy losers but at least China is worse! This is a badly needed psychological release valve. It's the foundation of racism and is why Dalits exist.

  • The bad old days. This is in Beijing which is worse because they heated homes with coal stoves which put off a ton of smoke.

  • It's true. In my town we have sunsets again. We never had them. Now there are gorgeous sunsets every single day. A poem and photo, by me

    Smog sunset

    No shooting rays

    the sun just kind of disappears into a dirty gray smear

    then it gets dark

  • Whatever, who cares! No war!

  • IDF soldier.

  • That was probably Newsom.

  • The pro-Israel right is absolutely furious at Candace Owens right now.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the 2A types show up at her house soon.

  • I don't want to know how you know that.

  • This didn't happen on any other ship. Mutinies are like on that one destroyer whose captain drove it full speed into a busy shipping lane and got rammed by a cargo ship. The investigation afterwards revealed that they were rarely on the bridge and did not train their sailors properly. The crew tried filing complaints up the chain of command like they were supposed to but got ignored. The captain had been to Annapolis, see? They all stick together. Class consciousness, but in the wrong kind of way.

  • That was the post-Vietnam US Navy. It was war-weary and out of control. There were spaces that officers did not dare to go. They were putting bricks of heroin in body bags of KIAs to smuggle it back to the States. The military got rid of conscription for a reason.

  • There are plenty of shore-based jobs in the Navy. The USS Ford is based in Sasaebo which means Japanese girls. You have to specially sign up and compete for a job on a ship like this. They knew what they were getting into.

  • Is that true, or did you hear it on NPR? If NPR said shit tastes good you'd eat a mouthful?

  • Nice try but it won't work. Mandatory Google spyware on all phone apps. I'm surprised they still allow loading APKs.Apple doesn't allow that at all and never has. They can, and do, delete apps you paid for from your phone.And their users thank them.
