I think the dangers of nuclear war are overblown in public perception.

Regarding räydiäyshun alone, there have been 512 atmospheric nuclear weapons tests since 1945, and were still here. Maybe with a little bit higher cancer rate, but that could have been caused by many other things, by unwise introduction of byproducts of industrialisation. Hrmm. Lemme ssink...industry...oh yeah, coal power! Even moar räydiäshun!1!! Whee!

Then there is the theory of Hormesis. Which could be applied to at least some forms of weak radiation, in spite of only a few very vocal, nay-saying kooks. See many places around the world, were people are bathing and breathing in radone-rich caves and waters, or beaches in Brazil.

and many more, just without entry in the global cybernetic landfill.

So, away with the 'glo-in-ze-dark' stuff, except for one last thing:

Spontane Verdampfung führt zur Entkrampfung! (Spontaneous evaporation leads to relaxation)

Hrmyah, whaddäbbout WW3? Depending on where you are, that already happened, when seen as total devastation of ones environment. Does it matter when it glows in the dark by itself? Does it have to, to make ones situation even more miserable? Do I care?

No. I prefer a rather cold, zoomed out view, as envisioned in the commandments of the Georgia Guidestones, proudly riding my trusty Blucifer.

Ze Ztarz! My Destination! (One way or another, I don't bother)

Now please excuse me, I need to have the snake tatto reapplied to my dick, otherwise Jizzbella disapproves...…
