  • alien doesn’t necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.

    (someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)

    well you can find them on social media hating on women instead. a lot of early atheist youtubers went on to become gamergaters.

    or look at a popular one like Dawkins who is busy being a transphobe nowadays. imagine being an atheist and wasting the remainder of your precious and only life trying to make the precious and only life of the most marginalized people in society even worse.

    or sam harris who literally defended torture.










  • agreed, and i don’t even engage with it so I don’t really give a shit but Hannah Fry had an interesting yt short about this.

    she said you might wanna say please and thank you while talking to these [affronts to God] not to be spared when they take over or whatever but because what they’re doing is roleplaying. eg. you ask them a question like a Shakespeare character and they’ll respond in kind.

    so probably saying please and thank you will encourage them to roleplay as someone who tries to help more enthusiastically.

    I wouldn’t do it myself; just thought it’s interesting.
