Just disregard the hundreds of thousands of people who died in those bombings. It's not as bad as you think. What doesn't kill you makes you- wait

Radiation may not kill you but it also absolutely doesn't make you stronger

Are you saying a good dose of radiation does not give you superpowers? Has Marvel lied to us for all those decades? 😭

Idk, anime came from somewhere, and I don't see evidence of it existing before the bomb...

Years of eating irradiated spiders out of the microwave wasted

No, no, you need to irradiate them with a 5G tower!

Marvel? People were hawking radium water back in the 1910s

The death toll of other people isn't relevant to them. What's important to Elon is that if Elon wanted he could go to either city and have a wonderful time, and therefore no harm, no foul. All that matters to Elon is what Elon thinks and feels, there is no larger world beyond what he directly interacts with.

Elon repeatedly said he's fine with sacrifices made for the sake of progress. It's just that he thinks others should be doing sacrifices and he should be the guy doing progress. Very convenient for a narcissistic manbaby.

I immediately thought of this joke:

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”

The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it’s OK, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me.”

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. “The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.”

To this the stranded man said, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety.”

To this the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me drown. I don’t understand why!”

To this God replied, “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?”

And the guy replied, "yeah but those were all owned by Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies. I was hoping for some transportation not piloted by a rapist."

and God said, "listen to me you little shit, you should've thought of that before you went on that island"

This post appears to show that they're arguing that nuclear bombs "aren't that bad", as it's missing the important context that they're actually talking about the safety of nuclear power — or, rather, they're arguing that nuclear power isn't as dangerous as people might think — by using the lingering radiation from the nuclear bombings as an example.

I want to be clear that I'm not arguing that their argument is sound, but this post is bordering on disinformation.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Ah yes "Nuclear power is good because Hiroshima really wasn't that bad" Stable genius take right there

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Have to admit that is quite funny.

Did that Musk&Trump conversation actually happen?

These are the people he listens to?

Fuck

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

You have to remember that this is the man who had to be told he couldn't bomb hurricanes.

He's just shedding all those smart-assed sciency folks that say complicated gubbins like "fallout" and "but Sir, people live there!"

If you're preparing to be el presidente for life, you need people with a can-do attitude.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Alright clearly Musk needs a nuke dropped on him because it's not that bad!

Perhaps he meant that it's not as bad as some people think that nuclear bombs make areas uninhabitable for 1000 of years. I think a lot of people probably think that. Disregarding injuries and death

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Sorry, no matter how you look at it, it is a stupid comment from Musk.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

"Disregarding injuries and death."

This. This is the problem.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

If that's what he meant he should have phrased it that way. Otherwise, even if we assume what you wrote is true, he sounds like a person insensitive to mass murder.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Disregarding injuries and death

Well, yeah, because that's an other people's problem.
