I think the USS Long-Beach was one of the most majestic ships afloat and not enough people appreciate her and her beauty.
Wow, I've never seen any kind of ship like it! Makes me wonder if they'll make a model similar to it.I think the USS Long-Beach was one of the most majestic ships afloat and not enough people appreciate her and her beauty.

An interesting ship with a captivating backstory. Thank you for introducing me to this new ship.The basic history of the ship is that it was a twice-experimental cruiser design, both in the fact it was a member of the "Nuclear Navy", a concept that every ship in the United States Navy should be powered by a full-blown nuclear reactor wherever possible; letting every ship in the fleet(s) have unlimited cruising range during their operating lifetime, only being constrained by factors like munitions and food, able to disregard the need for fuel. Furthermore, the ship was using the latest in a variety of radar technology, of course, oversized and not quite efficient, thus the big box-like bridge. It served its purpose in conflicts like the Vietnam war and was the rare type of ship to not rely on an actual cannon of some description in its armament plan, relying entirely on missiles for primary offensive power. The sole cannon on the ship was only for secondary duties like shore bombardment.
Only one ship of the class was built, and the 'Fully Nuclear Navy' concept never fully materialized; even though the Long Beach had many nuclear-powered descendants, eventually, nuclear power was deemed simply unsuitable for vessels that didn't absolutely require their specific advantages, such as the modern aircraft carrier; being too hard to maintain for standard fighting ships.
RIP box-kun, you will be missed.
EDIT(S): lots of edits, I got info wrong.

You can only be happy if you have kids!
Like no... I come from a family in which it expects that I someday have kids because it will please my parents. However, I generally don't want kids at all.. I am old enough to think for myself, and I am also old enough to know that I will not be happy with kids and it is hard to explain to my family that I do not want kids like I do not want a romantic partner. I won't get too deeply into why I don't want kids, but I feel like it is a pressure from the family, and since we are already doing such a shitty job at saving this planet why should I be interested in leaving my kids with a mess that nobody is keen on fixing, it feels unfair to myself and to the next generation after mine?
I try being really frank with my family about this, that my opinion about not having kids should be respected, but I guess not all people can see ones points of view.
I like Medieval Fantasy, but it's way overdone. I personally really want to do a high fantasy story set in a Middle Eastern/Arabian inspired land.1. Unicorns aren’t all white horses with horns
2. Medieval fantasy is boring, fantasy can exist anywhere

I think the problem with that narrative is it's ultimately very defeatist. Now I'd never advocate for having kids just for the hell of it, but I do hate the narrative of:I think it’s a generational thing. I feel like people in their thirties and younger are growing up in a world where
1. Our planet is fucked.
2. (In US) we lack financial security
3. Heteronormativity isn’t the only socially acceptable option for partnership
4. People have rediscovered the Ace spectrum.
People my age I feel like it’s more of a choice in whether you want kids or not. If you more power to you. If you don’t you aren’t a social pariah among your age group.
Im lucky in that my mom was married four times and has come the conclusion ussion men are useless and marriage is a waste of time. Plus I have two sisters, one of which has already taken the bullet and provided the grand babies. So the two spinsters don’t have to really worry about family legacy or whatever.

If you've got something to say do so.Just got this weird whiff of smoke. And where there's smoke, there's fire. I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion around here, but personally I'm very anti-fire.
