What is the difference between a dirty bomb and a regular one? (Serious question.) Becuase the media said dirty bomb and then played a clip of Biden saying nuclear bomb…
Dirty bomb = conventional explosive plus radioactive material, designed to scatter that material to toxify an area rather than create a fusion or fission detonation.
Yep. The main problem is the cleanup. Sure, a lot of people get sick and die over the next four decades, but you also have a large area that is now a radioactive toxic waste dump.
@amerika @prouddegenerate @MossyRock Radioactivity sucks so much ass. It's like...motherfucker, can't even grow vegetables because they get charged up glowie specs of shit in em

I am a benevolent sociopath. If all humans under 115 IQ points went into the chipper, it would not bother me. In fact, I think it is the best chance for human survival.
Personally, I prefer softer methods.
@amerika @prouddegenerate @MossyRock It would bother me, but the net result would he quite positive. A thought experiment I put myself through rigorously, trade life to save life. I have reached a stoic position which is why I am so inactive. I sit and I watch. I have a hard time justifying any kind of action that would have any effect on the ending of the story. But in times of crisis I act despite fear, I've been tested in reality and passed. I know I'll help another person even if it means I could die. I hate and love that about myself.

It's the trolley problem writ large.

106? I experience great doubt at that result. I am not very familiar with his writings however.

The environmental consequences worry me the most.
A few thousand humans lost is a rounding error at this point.
