It's a dramatised explanation of what would happen in the event of a nuclear escalation between USA and Russia, made in 1984

Literally, the process

The effects

The outcome

Awesome for context

Also great for scaring such entitled people witless

wow, that sounds incredibly interesting

Because it quite literally doesn't pull any punches

It's horrible quality because it's a made for TV film from 1984

But it was properly researched

I'll take that trade off

I thought only people who worked in essential services should be working?

Bit of a trip up memory lane for me, since I remember 1984

tons of businesses are ignoring, apparently scar

My builders are here working outside, but they won't be after today

@Scar for me, it's mostly just ensuring that people stay the fuck out, since I'm security

I'd imagine the authorities will be take a light touch today and start enforcing more heavily tomorrow

the entire place is a ghost town

Shoot first, ask questions later, Kaiser

I know the first thing I go to is the tazer

this is why I don't get tazers

A progressive, globalist, authoritarian government can't have the citizenry arbitrating disputes and policing themselves, Kaiser

member this from a few days ago?

turns out it was a labour candidate

"Labour Candidate Arrested in Spanish Swimming Pool for Breeching Quarantine"

Yep, saw that, saw it was a Labour candidate. Thought it equally likely it could have been from another party (ideologically) but does impune the guy's character

@Eccles we had to watch that in English

What counts as essential work? Because if its earning you a living, its essential right?

In English? Odd choice

They haven't elaborated, Hopix

They just cancelled a bunch of things at my work

I'm off work for the time being so it's no issue atm

I'll see what my boss says

It was because our main fictional piece was to be nuclear war based

I'm in print and graphic design so its not exactly an essential industry

Then you get texts off the NHS saying dont go out

Mine was based on a survivor registering destruction and death, basically horrible stuff, low and behold it got fantastic marks lmao

That's pretty non-essential, Hopix

Wuhan is set to come out of isolation next week,

Yeah it is, but my point is, does it mean essential for society or essential for me?
