    Turns out Star Trek was just a retelling of actual intergalactic life

    Aliens: Who the hell told them all this stuff … I don’t look like that? … My ass isn’t that fat … Is it?

      “These beings have documented a perfect understanding of warp core, matter transmission, and matter replication technologies, yet they refuse to actually use any them and are stuck on a single planet fighting wars over limited resources.”

  Well as someone with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as being on the spectrum, initially we’d be kinda screwed. I have spent a lot of time in therapy and have done a lot to manage it all, as well as developing empathy for myself and others, so not so bad.

  However, I choose to be a non-theistic Satanist and an anarchist, so a lot of other people are going to be fucked. Especially those that deserve no empathy due to their hoarding of resources and exploitation of people and the planet.

    Could you elaborate on the Satanist part? It’s the first time I encounter that specific term.

      I met a member. And he explained to me that they are pretty much atheists but from the point of the law they enjoy religious protections.

      Basically if you call yourself atheist, you won’t get any religious protections, because you don’t have any religion. Everyone knows that FSM is a joke, so that also wouldn’t fly either. So they created a religion. They chose Satan, to get expected reaction from devoted Christians, they don’t believe in Satan though (unlike wackos from the Church of Satan). You can read their 7 tenets, which sound quite reasonable: thesatanictemple.com/…/there-are-seven-fundamenta…

    I’ll gladly take aliens trying to cure me of an ADHD and depression i don’t have if they can also cure us of religions and capitalism.

    More importantly you going to therapy and improving yourself the way you described it, that in itself is sincerely the best exemple we can show an alien, ever.

    Seems i am going to be just fine after all.

    Seriously though how did you write something so personal and yet described my life so well.

    Like the only difference is that you are a non theist satanist anarchist. While i am an agnostic spiritual anarchist having Jesus (but not god) as an example of a good.

    I like that it takes becoming satanic to develop a civilized view of the world. Rather I like how completely we have twisted the world with TOTAL BULLSHIT that people feel the need to claim a force for ultimate evil is what makes them want to make the world a fairer, less shitty place.

    lol … aliens arrive in 1960s era London police boxes to try to not alarm us as they make first contact

    Aliens first message: … I say my good man, it’s quite a coincidence to find you in this part of the galaxy. I feel pecked by a hundred chickens, fuller than a tick on a big dog and fine as frog hair and not half as slick to greet you on this fair morning under god’s blue sky.

  Humanity is screwed.

  They like being alone, don’t like loud noises, will find a reason to leave a situation with more than 3 people in a small area. They don’t have any sexual desire and will be most happy to go through life without ever having intercourse. Probably going to go extinct without outside intervention thanks to that, better intervene to preserve the species.

  They want to hibernate when it’s cold outside. Cold = anything below 70f.

  They’re herbivores though so at least they don’t destroy their planet by mass farming the cruelest and most inefficient food source possible. Silver lining?

    right but they’re psychic so you can actually communicate at a real rate instead of tripping over your meat trumpet

  At one point in my job I was effectively the translator between English speaking Indian software devs, and American project managers. If I can translate technical information into something understandable to a PM, and vague program specs into actionable technical requirements for the devs I think we’d actually be alright with the aliens.

• theneverfox@pawb.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I feel like they’d be horrified, and conquer our planet and force us all into therapy, but think they’d see us as worth helping

      Glad you have overcome that. Started when I saw a report on TV where they mentioned that not only high value cars are stolen but also VW Golf type cars. Last year I purchased a battery powered GPS tracker with a 4G module so I can always track where my car is. Made it much better.

  I am pedantic to a fault, capable of simultaneously being the most specific and most vague person you will ever speak with, and have the social skills of a carrot. I am also debilitatingly ADHD, reasonably autistic, and more intelligent than is able to produce an emotionally functional adult.

  I will leave it up to you all on if you want me to be the model, but I’d be happy to if it were up to me.

      Don't act like the quality of humanity couldn't be dramatically improved by eliminating the 250,000 worst of us.

      Rapists, murderers, evil billionaires, corrupt politicians, shitty bosses, manipulative assholes and general dickheads of all races, creed, and gender, honestly 250,000 may not be enough but it would be a good start.
