Life (including sentient life) isn’t improbable given how infinite the universe is. There’s 8 planets surrounding our sun and 2-3 are in the “habitable zone” there’s 200-400 billion stars in our galaxy alone and there are countless galaxies in the universe. I only wish that alien life would come here for the sole purpose of eliminating the biggest argument that theists have. The only problem being the absolute vastness of space. Our planet is not interesting in any way given the scope of everything so it makes no logical sense why any other species would be interested in this specific planet. Not for water, not for minerals, no reason to come here. “Fine tuning” is simply “I can’t grasp the concept of probability amongst a nearly infinite number of chances.”

P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you do if you were an 8 year old again, with your current mind (including memories and skills)?8·1 day agoBack then, I assume. Being 8 today with the knowledge you have now would be fucking terrifying and mostly hopeless.
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you do if you were an 8 year old again, with your current mind (including memories and skills)?16·1 day agoFirst, I would convince some of those old crazy ass mercenaries that my uncle used to hang out with that Donald Trump touched me. This would be in 1992. Then I’d work my ass off mowing lawns and doing chores and saving every bit of money I could, invest in apple and other big stocks that I could get as they came out before they hit big, id sell them and invest in Tesla before Elon could get in on it, and Bitcoin. Id use my wealth to invest in solar so that it takes off earlier. Create a Superfund to counter lobbyists like the dark roofing lobby. What a completely asinine thing. Just switch to making white roofing materials? Use my wealth and power to become president, reverse citizens United and bring back a 90% tax on the wealthiest people. (Yes, Including myself.) Boom. World saved.
That is exactly my experience. But my mom wouldn’t get me tested because she didn’t want me to be “drugged up and not the real me”

Theyre not very good at hiding their actions. They get the job done but it’s usually pretty bumbled and visible.

P00ptart@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Three people fatally shot at a Target in Austin, TX1·5 days agoI get that, but I’d move heaven and earth to get out of a state like Texas or Florida. I live in a red state but… It’s not as bad as those two yet. If it gets that bad, I don’t know what I’d do to get out, or my reaction would be. But if I lived in Texas right now and couldn’t leave, I’d be a very dangerous individual for officials.

I think in Pennsylvania, there were boxes and boxes of ballots abandoned in the woods. In Arizona, a UPS collection box was set on fire in a democratic majority area. There are more direct ways to steal an election than hacking systems. “Here you go grandma, just sign here”
