I think it's funny how we never had female school shooters until they started roiding women with testosterone who identified as men.
I get why the government wants to promote effeminate men and cut boys dicks off, but transmen are becoming a real menace.
They have all the violent tendencies of men without the IQ or second order thinking of men.
Congratulations, you've recreated black people.

It takes a special kinda of stupid to think jihadists are going to introduce DEI.

@ergo @Tfmonkey @shortstories The Russian military is incompetent? Is that why they've recently defeated NATO in a proxy war? Nobody denies, not even NATO, the existence of the Dead Hand system. Nobody is going to "accidentally" forget to reset the dead hand. It would require untold dozens, potentially hundreds of people, simultaneously, to all forget to their their one job, which is to reset the dead hand. It takes ALL parties, simultaneously, to not reset it. That's very reliable.
@ergo @Tfmonkey @shortstories An accidental nuking is effectively impossible. It would require extreme human negligence. The order to not reset the timer would need to be given out, in which case just activate the launch sequence manually. Its technically possible to do this, engineering it is trivial, and the incentive to make it is there. You're still thinking this is an AI system that can interpret data, thats not how it works. Its nothing more than a timer thats reset on a recurring basis.
@ergo @Tfmonkey @shortstories To an engineer, it is mechanistically identical, regardless of the societal outcome, the machines do not know or care. It like a tripwire or sentry turret, such machines do not care if the cop and his polished badge has a warrant or not, nor does the machine care about their fancy titles, or proclamations that they have "authority" to do whatever. Sentry turret go BRRRR. Same with dead hand. If it doesn't receive its routine stand down signal, it will activate.
@shortstories @ergo @Tfmonkey We don't know. Some have speculated that the infamous Russian Number Station radios that are likely transmitting one time passes are a component to the system that's preventing Dead Hand from activating, but thats purely speculative. We just don't know.
@ergo @Tfmonkey @shortstories The dead hand does not detect nuclear attacks. The dead hand automatically activates if humans do not periodically prevent it from activating. Its a time bomb that needs to be constantly reset. If its not reset, it assumes that everyone in Russia is dead, and activates the launch sequence automatically.
@ergo @Tfmonkey @shortstories Thats ridiculous, because there are manual over-rides that must constantly be engaged to PREVENT it from attacking. A locomotive has a button on it that has to be pressed every hour, otherwise the brakes automatically engage. Automatic systems that engage without constant human intervention are common. They are used in nuclear power plants to control the reactor core and prevent meltdown if people walk away. The inverse is also true for the Dead Hand.
