So we all im sure have seen the insanely dumb shit the USA is doing and for anyone near an area that might be hit by a tactical nuke in the event of a limited exchange i thought id post some advice on what to do.

This is for people outside the blast zone but inside a radiation zone. If your in the blast well... tell Lenin i send my love.

Firstly a few basics to stock up on.

Bottled water

cheap shelf stable ready to eat foods. Trail snacks, granola, stuff like that. Few multivitamins too.

Iodine tablets.

N95 masks(or the best u can find.)

goggles.

Duct tape.

A cheap handheld radio that can be recharged and has emergency channels.

When the strikes happen if your outside get inside ASAP. Remove all clotheing before going inside and leave it outside. Pick a room preferably a bathroom in the center of a structure that doesnt have windows. Preferably have all supplies already in there, but if not get them in there fast. Close the door and duct tape over any cracks or vents. Fill bathtub with water. Take 1 iodine pill everyday starting now.

Turn the water to the toilet off. You will be using the bathtub water to flush do not bring in outside water anymore. You will stay sealed in this room for 48 hours. After 48 hours you will remove the duct tape as you need air from outside but stay in the room as long as you can.

The fallout of modern nukes should break down pretty fast the longer you stay inside the better. Listen to the radio for info from your government. When you cannot stay inside anymore due to low supplies you will put on an N95 mask, a thick jacket, gloves, long pants, closed shoes, etc. Duct tape the seams between pants, jacket, gloves, and shoes. wear goggles. If you can do multiple layers!

You want to minimize exposure to your skin, and keep fallout particles from entering the body. a makeshift hazmat suit like this is single use. You will get as far away as you can as fast as you can. Hopefully the radio told you a safe place. When you get there you will carefully remove this suit and discard it while avoiding touching the outside of it. Get into clean clothes (you can bring a change of clothes and keep them in a sealed bag).

At this point you should be outside the immediate fallout zone and probably in a refugee camp. Seek out medical care immediately. Inform medical staff you may have been exposed to radiatioactive fallout. If you did all of this youll be better off then 90% of people and most likely be fine. If you do get radiation poisoning youll have atleast minimized the damage. Remember that radiation is invisible. Even if you feel fine, never saw ask or dust, etc. GET PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE ASAP!

I hope nobody ever has a need to use this advice but ive been researching it just to prepare myself and thought id share it. Anyone who has any other advice please post it below for me and others to educate ourselves.

Stay safe everyone <3

because a tie would be hilarious

Next theyll be posting AI videos of Kim and Putin making out. I cant wait.

So this is something ive thought about a little bit and never really see it talked about much. Im curious to hear what others here think.

Basically the premise is this. We had the league of nations and that failed. Now we have the UN and while arguably more effective in some ways atleast its still pretty bad at reigning in rogue states like the US and Israel for example.

So thinking about the future how should we change the structure of something like the UN to make it more ideal for a world post-US Empire. Im also curious to hear if you all would even support an organization like this or if you prefer to allow nations to engage in diplomatic talks one on one and not have an international community butting in.

What level of control should a "UN" have, and what mechanisms should it have access to for putting pressure on member nations if any?

No more debates in these elections they suck. From now on the candidates all come up with a cool Halloween costume and everyone votes for whose costume was best on election day. Only rule is NO AMERICA THEMED COSTUMES. No lady liberty, uncle sam, etc. Thats just lame. i wanna see Trump dressed up in one of those dinosaur costumes the kids wear.

You silly poors might think that them being piloted remotely by literal humans is stupid, and pointless when the human could just use their own body. But what you fail to understand is that now we don't have to look at our servants, and can pretend that theyre robots, and not humans we have forced into a VR headset at gunpoint. I used to feel bad when my servants would cry about their cancer ridden child not being able to afford medical care, but now i just hit the mute button on my tesla bot! 30,000$ well spent!

I am sure everyone reading this is already aware of how AI hallucinates things on accident, and while that is a problem I've noticed something else thats actually worrying me a lot more. Basically i think that there are groups purposefully using AI to generate random information that doesnt exactly push any specific narrative like you might expect, but just confuses things in general. Like someone posted an article on another instance about AI wikipedia articles about fake events.

I know the Dead Internet Theory is a thing, but im starting to suspect that rather than just being an accidental thing, or a product of click farming there is a concerted effort to make it almost impossible to find reliable information on the internet. This would make sense from the perspective of the elitist status quo types as until the internet they had a really firm grasp on information. It was all controlled by universities, and media companies. I'm wondering if the goal is to make it back to a time like that. Where the general public is so confused and unable to access real information that they get easier to control. Making the internet useless for anything other than mindless entertainment.

I'm just preparing myself mentally for all the AI generated conspiracy theories people are gonna start believing.

Im kinda baffled. I use lutris for launching windows games in linux and for the longest time now its worked great. Well i was playing a game and it was working fine. i closed it went and did some other stuff for an hour or so and came back. When i went to launch it suddenly its throwing errors about needing umu to launch proton even tho proton worked just fine not an hour ago. I think ok ive had issues with flatpacks before. Let me uninstall the flatpack and get the system package. I do so and now proton doesnt even appear as an option in the configure menu. I googled around and i cant find any similar issue. The thing that really baffles me is it just seems to have stopped working for no reason. I didnt update anything, didnt change anything. The Lutris on my desktop still works perfectly fine too. Its just the one on my laptop doesnt want to use proton now? Anyone experienced this and know whats up? The umu thing it mentioned at first would need to be compiled from the github and i know thats not something Lutris normally needs since i have had it working without doing that and currently do on my desktop. I guess i could manually install it anyway but i worry itll just make things worse.

Edit: Its suddenly working again i have no idea why

I was wondering what places you all find have the most reliable info about current events? Any specific news sites that do a good job of actually reporting on stuff most places ignore? Mostly looking for written articles rather than videos.
