Restore AllHide UnarchivedLive in a metropolitan area near military targets and you should be ok.
Me, living near a state capitol and several airbases Oh goody.
Vaporized by a nuke or see the world as you know it reduced to a pile of dead bodies and rubble. It’s not an obvious choice, at least to me.
So basically Northern VA is fubar
Right. That is how I always felt. These preppers and such leave me just puzzled beyond words. (Or the ones that want to colonize Mars after we make Earth uninhabitable.) I am not going to load up guns and take food from my neighbors. If it happens, I want to go. Preferably quickly if not cleanly.
Prepping is a pretty good idea. I believe radiation can decay pretty quickly, so if you get bombed and survive, you can wait a few months or until military aid arrives.
However, if we're talking about a Fallout situation where the entirety of a country is destroyed, then I agree with you.
I don’t know if you’ve ever played Fallout but you don’t have to kill your neighbors.
You do have to kill the death claws though… or die trying
This idea that like if anything slightly bad happens people are going to lose all sense of civic society and start shooting each other instead of working together is such a uniquely American toxically individualistic idea
Like humanity has existed and cooperated together for hundreds of thousands of years but you fuckers have so little sense of collectivism and working together to survive that you fantasise about shooting each other over a box of Wheaties or some shit
Humans are a social species but deep down every American wants to be a lone wolf not realising that lone wolves die while the pack thrives
😂
Too true
Watch The Road... Then get back to us
Yup, not to mention radiation isn't magic, it's tiny projectiles. Your house's basement is a great place to be. All that earth and concrete walls will stop plenty of it, and it would dramatically decrease with time.
If you've got food that can last you months or even a year, a way to get water and clean it(bleach for example), you could easily survive. The larger danger would be anyone in your neighborhood who didn't have emergency food.
I'm a post apocalyptic optimist. might as well give surviving a good shot ya know I mean if I fail to survive it won't be my problem very long at least
Don’t worry. Preppers will die off if an apocalyptic event happens. They lack the physical constitution and mental discipline to handle the reality of a truly devastating nationwide disaster.
There is no surviving a truly apocalyptic scenario without a group, a community. Tribalism is an evolved survival trait in humans. The Lone Wolf scenario is guaranteed failure.
This is a comment theft bot. Here is the original comment.

Just end it already.
Even in the "only 50" simulations here in Houston we get like 5 bombs. Probably not worth living in Texas though.
I'll be sitting on a lawn chair and enjoying the particles for a split second.
What makes you so damn special?
