I was wondering about all the black smoke, maybe inefficient combustion leads to higher performance thrust? Idk lol.

if true, it would be an actual global military strategy gamechanger, probably the biggest since the advent of nuclear weapons.

Unlimited range and hypersonic, it could fly around the world for years until assigned a target.

nobody's air defences can beat mach 20 yet, that we know of.

Xray and infrared lazers are ez. Just expensive. Cheeper than nuclear missiles. Tho. They only protect rich ppl in rich ppl bunkers,, not downtown LA slums.. P.s. it's really old technology and they are super reliable and ez to target the government just wanted more money and the public to not realize it could instantly be vaporized from miles away before they could realize. I've seen these devices in action. They're not that big and single shot ones are about the size of small trucks now.

its not that the projectiles are too slow to intercept, AA defenses could in theory hit something going mach 20, the problem, even for laser weapons, is the time required from initial incoming warning, to target aquisition, to calculated firing solution, can usually be several minutes, 5, 10, maybe 30 -- all of this is no big deal for old ICBMs, they fly slow predictable paths.

The nuclear ramjet missle is reported to be able to alter course at hypersonic speeds, or just leave and come back from another angle, or just fly randomized patterns, or go to another target, if it detects tough air defenses.

toss in some A.I. computations to this platform and you built something that no one could ever defend against, in theory.

it just basically hits you before you can get your shit together.

edit: mentioning laser weapon development is insanely cheap, and firing the new one on the ford class carrier costs like .62 cents per, shot, compared to millions per missle

If you want to raise children finding a wholesome, honororable, rich man is a good thing, and I believe a good cultural standard... I'd definitely prefer that to some young guy with looks. Or "love". Though, I imagine it would be incredibly hard to not love a wholesome, honorable, rich man.

I wonder if I, an addict and lover of everquest, would be happier in a world where we talked about everquest type things and we just herded goats.

I dunno, I haven’t really studied it, but I personally believe that completely relationship-less lives are not quite as healthy as ones with relationships. Once again, it’s fighting our programming and evolutionary biology, as a species we survive by forming mated pairs and family units

Our brain reinforces it to us with oxytocin, a happy chemical produced when we feel an intimate touch. This is why FWB relationships are so hard for so many people. Because oxytocin is also a bonding chemical. It is there to reinforce that intimate touch good, bond good, this person good, to ensure the survival of our species. And the more frequently those people touch, generally the stronger the bond gets

This is why all of sudden strong emotions can start coming out in FWB relationships. Your brain is programmed to bond you

Lol

This is also why professional “cuddlers” became a thing, especially in Asian countries. Even men, as crazy as it sounds, can be ok with not having sex but just cuddling. Obviously sex is always going to be better, but when people are enjoying cuddling what’s really happening is their brain is just getting high on its own oxytocin

And I wouldn’t recommend professional cuddling, unless you expect/don’t mind Molestation City

not gonna lie, i am a cuddler, but you can cuddle anything, and i prefer to cuddle things that have sex with me.

hiring a professional cuddler, is like a new level of incel -- "I could pay someone to have sex with me, and then cuddle with me, but im just gonna cuddle" (im assuming these people charge alot for their service) although, if you choose not to pay for sex, or try to find a partner otherwise, wouldn't that make you voluntarily celibate? (VolCel)

c'mon bros get your dicks workin! I'm tired of hearing about the global emasculation of men.

unless, professional cuddler "more often than not" means prostitute, in which case I am happy to return your man card.
