ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached the “in case a nuclear attack happens” phase……. [x]

This shit is wild.

.. North Korea won’t attack and this just trying make a fear when there is none

Yesterday while listening to the radio there was a “emergency network test” and it was kinda spooky. 

“This was just a emergency test. If this was a real emergency you would have more information”

LISTEN UP PEOPLE! THE COLD WAR AND NUCLEAR BOMBS ARE A BIT OF A HOBBY/PASSION OF MINE. SO HERE IS A FEW THINGS I CAN TELL YA.

I’d Like To Remind You All DO NOT TO TRUST ANY NUCLEAR ADVISE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE GOVERNMENT (especially any from the cold war era 1950s-1970s.) Only trust info given to you such as EVACUATION INFO. The whole duck and cover nonsense WILL NOT SAVE YOU.

Why? Because it was mostly propaganda telling you to duck and cover, scrub radioactive vegetables, and you would be fine sort of thing. Most of it was lies crated by the US government to prevent panic. In fact almost all of it was lies. Lies to calm people down because during the cold war, in all seriousness, the World almost ended a few times. No Exaggeration. Humanity almost became extinct during the cold war.

My Father and Mother lived though the cold war, I don’t want you all to lose your heads over a new one. Please, its a waste of energy.

In case of a real nuclear war, well the blast would vaporize you.

If you were fare enough away the heat would bake you.

Farther away the sound wave would collapse your lungs.

Even farther away you would die from radiation poisoning.

Farther farther away you would still get radiation poisoning and MAYBE survive if you received medical treatment.

Staying in the area after a nuclear strike will also kill you because everything will be radioactive. (Including you).

You also have to deal with fallout, radioactive particle of dust falling from the sky.

If the nuke is big enough the ash-cloud can blot out the sun causing a nuclear winter leading to crop death.

If the USA and RUSSIA were to have a nuclear war, the earth would be rendered uninhabitable with chance of continued life at almost zero. As the planet would be radioactive and plunged into a world without sun. Crops would die and people and animals would starve.

However, North Korea does not have the armament to do what Russian can. Korea could probably take out one or two US cities, and the USA would destroy North Korea’s capitol with one nuke and might launch a second for good measure. If the USA wanted to, they could raise the entire nation. So we do not need to worry about the world becoming uninhabitable. Man Kind Will Survive This. Unless China gets involved but I think they are too smart for that.

Oh and it is possible to shoot nukes out of the sky using the USA’s Laser Defense system that blows up missiles in air. Also nukes are so complicated that you can blow them up/destroy them without actually detonating them. So a nuke launched at the USA may never reach it.

Take it from a Cold War History Buff. Don’t Panic. Because if it ever reaches a point were you can panic, its too late.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT’S GOOD STAY AWAY FROM FEAR MONGERING CLICK BAIT NEWS!!! THE NEWS IS LESS CREDIBLE NOW THAN IT WAS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT WAS FEEDING THEM LIES.

hey? obese animals aren’t cute dude

My cat is on daily glucosamine supplements and will probably hit a point later in her life where she’ll barely be able to walk and have to take daily pain meds because of the joint damage done by her previous owner letting her hit 1.5x her ideal body weight.

Us humans have loads of body types, with our diffent races and genders and classes, but even a rail-thin human is gonna have a higher percent body fat than any land animal has reason to have. We’re unique in that way. So maybe we assume the same of our animals. A human can be healthy with fifty pounds of fat strapped to their body, but we’re freaks.

As human beings we can make our own informed choices about our bodies and our diets. Our animals cannot. We’ve also reproduced in such a way that the ‘ideal’ body weight for a human being varies wildly based on the genetics of individual human beings. 

This is not the case with our pets and a higher than ideal body weight for our pets can mean health problems like bumblefoot in rats, back problems in corgis and daschunds, joint problems in large dogs, diabetes in cats, etc.

Absolutely be for fat acceptance and body positivity in human beings, but also acknowledge that it’s a different story with our pets.

THIS is what i mean when I say animal rights groups are absolute garbage that waste time, resources and money, all whilst doing nothing for animal’s welfare. 

peta have ruined a person’s life and career over a fucking photo. This is what peta does with it’s donated money and resources. This is what you’re supporting when you support animal rights groups.

This is such an ignorant and dense statement. You want to slam animal rights groups? By all means, target PETA. Call them out all you want. But the VAST majority of animal rights groups fight tooth and nail for animals to have some semblance of respect and not be treated as tools and products in a world that sees nothing past the price tag. I can tell you know nothing of animal rights organizations by the generalized anger you’re displacing about PETA. Don’t disrespect the hard work animal rights activists do through rescue, sanctuaries, law, politics, and public awareness

Rescues, sanctuaries, law advocates, etc is the work of animal WELFARE groups. Animal rights groups (ELF, PETA, ALF, HSUS, protection for furbearers, mercy for animals, and even greenpeace) are classified as domestic terrorists. 

Maybe if they did some good you could defend this, but the issue is most of these groups have charges of falsifying footage and criminal cruelty to stage the “awareness” videos they produce. 

Your local humane society, and animal welfare organizations are the ones on the ground rescuing animals. 

HSUS is facing fraud and racketeering charges relating mostly to taking hundreds of thousands in donations to help victims of Katrina. Not a single cent they can account for helped any animal and worse they interfered with real rescue groups and put them in danger.

 Mercy for Animals is under heavy suspicion of having staged the famous skinned alive tanuki video. A lot of their claims and even the footage which they did release (over an hour of cut footage was withheld even with court orders for it) contradicts their story. 

  1. the man has no clue what he is doing and has obviously never done this before 
  2. he is in street clothes not a butcher outfit like a man nearby 
  3. onlookers are confused asking in the local dialect why he is trying to skin it alive and commenting how abnormal that is which has been translated by native speakers 
  4. look at the pile. Why is it the ONLY bloody animal in the pile? Because it’s the only one that was skinned alive. The rest are bloodless which is how skinning a dead animal is. 
  5. it is more difficult, dangerous and results in a lower value fur… there is no rational reason someone would do more work for less pay. 

PETA has been caught using clips from court confirmed staged films where criminal cruelty charges were laid as well as misleading about the origins of real cruelty claiming footage shot at a fox urine/musk farm of foxes with injuries to the bone is a “normal fur farm”. 

The real situation was these were animals seized from a farm that had been shut down for cruelty before peta arrived and shot their footage before the vet arrived to humanely euthanize the animals via lethal injection.

 Protector for Furbearers has criminal charges for catching coyotes and setting them loose in a small pen filled with barbaric traps that are never really used and filmed them suffering for hours in their completely staged film They Take So Long to Die. 

How about Arctik films who has criminal charges and a signed statement from the man who clubbed a baby seal and skinned it alive was paid to do so by animal rights groups. The footage is still used by PETA and HSUS. 

ALF has caused massive environmental damage mass releasing captive mink from fur farms into the wild. The release mink died slowly from hunger and many were run over. Those that survived? Decimated the populations of many species and may have caused the extinction of a bird. 

Animal welfare is good- animal rights groups are bad. 

Ps I’m an ex-member of animal rights groups for a reason. They hurt way more animals and people than they do any good. 

PETA uses donations to 

  1. buy freezers to store the majority of the animals they take in and immediately kill 
  2. to make falsified ads and try bully kids into being vegan 
  3. pay bail on those who fire bomb labs- with people inside.
    You may not agree with animal testing but killing or harming someone who is just doing their job and maybe the only way they can make ends meet? Try justify that to their families.

Thanks @lilrabbitssong. I really really good break down on the difference between animal rights and animal welfare groups and why it’s important to know that difference. 

Reblogging this version with added spacing with express permission from @lilrabbitssong, because it’s super important for people to realize that radical behavior from animal rights groups is not limited to specific organizations. It’s the MO of the entire movement. 

It’s really hard to find a source for the HSUS / Katrina investigation – most of the news articles from that period aren’t online anymore and weren’t archived by Wayback Machine. Here’s the best one I could find, at least documenting that the investigation into how HSUS used their funds did occur. 

The mink release this post talks about was the one in 1998 in the UK.  However, it just happened again – 38,000 mink were released into the wild from a fur farm in Minnesota, and an estimate 15,000 of them are already dead. While no animal rights group has taken credit for the release yet (which eventually tends to happen in these cases), it’s being investigated by the FBI as it falls under the Federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act statute. 

Organizations that advocate for animal welfare are very, very different from animal rights organizations.

unpaid internships are oppressive and should be illegal i’m not being cute or funny they are 100% designed to reward people with greater access to resources and i’m fundamentally opposed to hiring for unpaid labor every internship should be required to provide at least a nominal stipend

Can we PLEASE remove the stigma for blue collar work in America?

“You don’t wanna be a garbage collector when you grow up, do you?”

$34,000 a year, no college needed?

God forbid you take an honest job $7,000 above Michigan’s average cost of living line.

“You don’t wanna be a ditch digger.”

Bitch, I was making $15 an hour, post tax, doing exactly that, the fuck is wrong with it? (Other than it was physically exhausting.)

We need to help America, as a whole, understand that college is not, and should not be he only option, and that there is NO SHAME in trade school or even getting a career right out of high school.

I, personally, know plumbers making $80,000+ a year. Better than most 4 year degree workers.

We need plumbers, janitors, truck-drivers, garbage collectors, machinists, to keep this nation running smoothly. And they deserve respect for what they do.

Miss me with your classist bullshit.

“You cannot demand services and then degrade those who provide those services.”

Not sure who said that it but it has always stuck with me because hell it is so true.

friendly reminder this shark week that
– for every human killed by a shark 6 million sharks are killed by people
– when we swim we’re in THEIR habitat
– they don’t even like to eat us we’re too bony, when they do bite us they think we’re seals
– sharks have been around since prehistoric times and now they’re endangered animals because of us
-the media likes to portray sharks as deadly monsters bc they look scary but really we’re the ones killing them
