I just watched one of the most chilling documentaries ever

    Comrade McKittrickov, after careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that your computer system sucks.

    That's just crazy to think about, at least from my perspective. Until New York was hit in 2001, I never thought about anything happening to me and my town; I lived in the invincible, stress-free bubble where nothing was going to touch me. To some extent, I still live my life that way. But reading or hearing something like that kind of puts things in perspective a bit. Like at any moment, shit can change and shit can end.

    I'm glad I wasn't old enough to understand what was going on back then. It sounds like a frightening time.

    Good Lord, Bubbler, are you just one big giant pussy or what?

    You and six or seven of your friends could have beaten the Russians. Even if one of them turned out to be batshit crazy and one was actually spying for the Russians.

    Why, in the northeast, we went to school every day hoping the Russians would attack our schools so we could kick their ass.

    sack up bubs.
     
  6. Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your education

    I wasn't old enough to feel what Bubbler went through, either, but growing up in Seattle it seemed like we were always afraid of earthquakes and volcanoes (Mt. St. Helens blew up the day after I was born. What a welcome to earth, huh?). So, in a sense I lived in fear growing up.
    But I understand where you are coming from with Sept. 11.

    A little off topic, but I was just reading the other day how colossally seismologists fucked up by not predicting the Mt. St. Helens explosion.

    Where'd you read that? They evacuated the area and had watch stations all over the place. I remember reading about that old guy up there on Moses Lake, Harry Truman, crusty old dude he was, who gave interviews saying "I'm not leaving." He died in the eruption.
