Comment

One of my most embarrassing habits is that I sometimes go to the R-word site and read through the comment section there. Way too often, there are askr-word (or other sub r-word) posts where the comment section ends up being a bunch of bullshit supernatural responses. This one kind of reminds me of that. If you believe in ghosts or extraterrestrial aliens, I think less of you. You are dumb. Sorry, but it is what is is. I still drink alcohol sometimes, even knowing it causes cancer, so I’m not claiming I’m better than you. We can both/all be stupid. But if you believe in that supernatural crap, you’re stupid, too.

You don’t need to signal to people that you dislike reddit by saying r-word. It’s a given that anybody on lemmy dislikes reddit.

  Thank you. I was trying to figure out which developmentally disabled site they were referring to.

  Contextually, talk about “belief in aliens” almost universally means belief that said aliens have visited Earth, or at least communicated with us. Which is not a normal position.

    I do not believe that “belief in aliens” almost universally means believing that aliens have visited earth. If you believe people mean this, I think you have a distorted perception because you have only listened to people talk about crazy people. I have asked many of my friends about if they think aliens exist – some said yes, some said no; the ones who said yes all made reference to drake’s equation and similar.

  Point of clarification: I believe there’s a good chance of “aliens” in the universe (i.e. life on Earth isn’t the only life in the universe). When I used that term, I was referring to people who think aliens are visiting the earth.
  
  Regardless of what I need to do, I’m going to do it. I do lots of things I don’t need to do.

  The first sentence I thought he was being kind not to say “retarded” but yea that’s too much for me.
