The Doomsday Clock has been set to 90 seconds to midnight

@Ducky Murka likes the end times game. Murka smirking nuclear.

@Ducky And your opinion is informed on what?

Keep in mind that pulling a number out of your arse is way, way worse than the detailed analysis report that the scientists have done, so unless you have worked on something better, you're gonna have to explain why we should take your "opinion" over their research

@hdiddle Lovely attitude. We're done here.

@hdiddle yeah - it's symbolic. but it's usually been "justthisclose" to midnight. althought it's refreshing to see some dictator's unhinged rhetoric drive this uninformed measure of potential armageddon (as opposed to the USA forging alliances like NATO, SEATO, etc) the Union of Concerned Scientists has done their best to create a panic that the headline of the day means war is upon us.

Wars result from existential crises - not bluster and rhetoric.

@SusanInFlorida There is a war going on in Europe at the moment, sinde feb last year, and a nuclear-armed country is involved in the invasion. Not sure how much more you would need to realize we are in more danger now than last year

@hdiddle nothing in my post suggested there is no danger. you're falsely attributing opinions that were never made. thanks for your contribution.

@MasterLee

@MasterLee They're coming for you first

@hdiddle I'm here

@FreestyleArt is this why suicide is a sin, because people would rather die then live here with Jesus? Im not religious but I thought the point of life was to try and make things better where you can and to test you before you go to the light (or fire i suppose if a person is evil).

@deadgerbil they're a bit more rigorous than your racist uncle at the dinner table, let's just say

@hdiddle really? Its grossly out of proportion to the actual risk

@zonavar68 You can read the scientist's report and it seems perfectly in proportion.

How would you change it and where is your analysis report?

@hdiddle The way Covid vaxes were pushed to drive blinkered updating of experimental (and know known to be ineffective) drugs was almost criminal. The way people were forced out of employment, crippling families, small businesses, etc. was almost criminal. The way cash as a payment system was painted to be 'dirty' was almost criminal. The way accelerated wealth concentration as a result of the pandemic was facilitated was almost criminal. And now all the economies are 'rebounding' interest rates set by central banks are skyrocketing because central banks have to recover all the losses through borrowings from international banking houses and that recovery is being done by screwing the citizens to make the elite even richer and the low to middle class population majorities even less empowered. It was never about saving lives. We were never all in this together. Covid is about a global experiment in human population reduction and compliance.

@Beautifullyderanged Just was thinking that the little thumbs up emoji is kind of strange to use in a discussion about the Nuclear Doomsday Clock. smh.

@RuyLopez we know what you mean, its not like there is a large variety to choose from. Then again what would an appropriate one be lol

@Beautifullyderanged See.... its a vicious circle.....!

@JustAmber caring gets you pretty much invisible online! Maybe in real life you're embedded in a nature hating, anti social cadre. You need to survive!
