"why we're where we are"

A weird (to me) thing is how worked up people will get if you say that you don't consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
But for me it's like how Alfred Quine refused to say whether he did or didn't believe in God,
Because he said that there was no reason to entertain the question.
The lifespan of humankind, if the time of the universe were a person standing with outstretched arms, would be about a speck on a fingernail.
The observable universe, meaning any signal or presence that could have reached us, is about ninety billion light years across, but the actual universe is estimated to be two hundred and fifty times that, so if the actual universe is a football field, the observable universe would be like if you dropped a ball somewhere on it.
There's just no reason to believe that another form of life would
- attain intelligence
- attain interstellar travel
- exist in the same infinitesimal intersection of time and space as humankind

Thinking about getting a credit card. If I lie about my income I can get a pretty good deal.

fear7 have you read three body problem? this is like the third time this month i've recommended it
but one thing cixin liu was so so damn good at was making impossible vastness somewhat comprehensible
and it addresses your second bullet point in a very interesting way
and kind of the third one within that
and then in a way ties in to the first; but any less vague risks spoiling some super interesting theories from the trilogy

I have not. I love the Three Body Problem so when I heard about the show I thought it could be great and then I read about it and it fell flat.

But I guess I'm open to it.

i think i have a slight fear of horses, maybe from some long ago bad experience with them?
but i don't think i have a fear of llamas
ok but i also mid post googled llamas and there's a thing called 'berserk llama syndrome'

felt like if i further berserk llama sydnrome (BLS) the post got too rambly

i don’t see how you can be afraid of horses but not llamas. llamas are like horror horses

I am also scared of horses, and I did have a bit of childhood horse trauma, and I'm not talking about the first time I saw a horse dick. That's separate.

I'll stick to sawhorses, thank you. Only a little bit of manageable shipping trauma, and bonus: no dicks.

considered backspacing, probably should have
i just googled them and they still exist and are sold at home depot anyway
a quick glance at the spec tells me they've fixed none of those issues

backspaced the backspace afterword instead of the post
