    I’m a leftist GenX whose served aboard 3 nuclear submarines, over a 20 year career. Ive slept between ballistic nuclear missiles, on top of torpedoes, mines, and tomahawk missiles early in my career, but later, switched to a standard bed (rack) on the boats…can I reflect and make a fuss?

    The duality of republicans. Be scared of Russia nuking us over Ukraine to lick their boot, but also belittle gen z for not living through the cold war, while also starting a cold war with China.

        Welcome back from the coma. The current year is 2025. You will have to look up the word “tariff” because it’s no longer some stupid old timey tax.

          what do tariffs have to do with the cold war? the marking experience of the cold war was proxy war with actual troops. there is nobody invading China or sponsoring rebels

    I’m sorry, did I miss a mass disarmament event? It may not be as novel as it used to be, but the dull threat of nuclear war has been a constant backdrop in our lives.

    Haven’t we all just been living under constant nuclear threat since we were basically born? It’s kind of hard to be anxious about it since it’s basically the background radiation we’ve been told not to prioritize or think too much about since we were kids but I would wager each one of us has a nebulous and ill defined “in case of bomb” plan.

      I am a little surprised they haven’t given up water since the “chemicals in the water are turning the frogs gay” conspiracy took off.

        Did they declare that the chemical doing that was fluoride? Because more and more states are banning that in the water.

          “Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” Kennedy wrote in a social media post.

          “What does this do to sexual development in children?” Kennedy said. “Nobody knows. We know what it does to frogs.”

          Kennedy’s gay-frogs riff was borrowed from an old rant by conspiracy theory maestro and Infowars creator Alex Jones.

          https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/05/13/fluoride-florida-water-rfk-jr-alex-jones-gay-frogs/83579355007/

          There’s a few low quality studies suggesting high concentrations of fluoride can cause some issues with the thyroid. I didn’t look for the rest of the claimed problems, because high concentrations aren’t something you’ll be exposed to in tap water.

          I don’t think RFK has the critical thinking skills to interpret a study that finds a correlation between fluoride and whatever issue, especially if he’s quoting a conspiracy theorist to back his agenda

              Frogs are extremely sensitive to their environments, and seeing any disturbing trends in a frog population is an indication of pollution. He could have brought attention to the havoc modern agriculture has waged on the world, instead he aimed at the right wing and riled them up with misinformation. Even your link doesn’t mention anything about homosexuality, it says the frogs that turned female are able to reproduce although their offspring are always male because of genetics.

                There’s chemicals in the water!!!

                “You gonna regulate companies properly so we don’t have actually harmful chemicals in our water?”

                We’re gonna ban the most effective public health measures in history while taking an axe to every regulatory agency!!!

                So sad how easy it is to turn potentially useful anger into the opposite of a solution. America is going to hell and we’ll thoroughly explore its depths before people finally care enough to escape.

                The only thing to do at this point is help each other stay alive as the lords and kings wreck havoc in this sinking liberal empire. Maybe once the nation’s foundation is rotted enough we’ll be able to build life anew.
