-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

nuclear war gives me so much anxiety. It's absurd that people have lived with Armageddon hanging over them for almost a hundred years now. I imagine that alone has done unimaginable harm to literally everyone's psyche, just constant stress and trauma for everyone.
and personally it just gets worse and worse over time. I just expect if nothing else for something to happen, even if it's a fucking accident, and then, woops. I don't dream often but when I do a frequent recurrence is just helplessly watching the bombs drop until one gets me
After moving out to a rural town, now we're at least 30 minutes from the international airport, which I think would be the only reason for a bomb to drop here, so I tell myself maybe we'd survive. But then I think about watching Threads and obviously I'm not sure if I'd want to.
I live in what's probably an unlucky situation according to this map...
Google was shitty and annoying so I gave up. I don't know how accurate the map is. It might be shit too. In any case - according to the map I live near a civilian target. Unfortunately - I'm far enough away that if it was hit - I'd survive. And god only knows how the winds would carry the fallout from other targets. The north western part of North Dakota would be the best place to be. It would be the first place targeted and so heavily targeted that there would be no way to survive.
oh cool it's hard to tell from the map but it looks like there's random spots exactly where I am and idfk why there's no military shit. Maybe it's the airport, idk, hard to tell without a more detailed map
Google sent me to an article with that map but it was useless because the map was literally half the size. I did a reverse image search and when I found the site - I realized there was no "about" page. The site seemed to be the equivalent of a some rando Redditor map guy's posting history. On the map one of the sources listed is Wikipedia.
