    Not talking about Trump’s “happened to turn Black” shit was the right move. Control the narrative, don’t let him suck up all the oxygen with his lame weirdo shit.

      Being ignored probably infuriates him only slightly less than someone taking all his money.

    she’s really one of the Greys. That brown skin is just a body-wide brown tattoo.

    For the record, the greys aren’t all that bad. The probing can even be fun.

    Not at all like the Reptillians who see us as food. (which is probably what Trump is hiding under that saggy skin suit.)

    (/s, if it wasn’t obvious.)

      Not all Reptilians want to eat us! Some just want to cuddle for our body heat! Fight the disinformation! Cuddle with the smol Reptilians near you!

      This message was brought to you by the Reptilian Cuddlers Association.

        I should perhaps clarify.

        I wouldn’t at all be shocked to find out trump really is a reptilian or something. It would explain so much.

        But the reality is that while aliens almost certainly exist…any with the ability to come here would likely have the ability to remotely detect the radioactive isotopes from the hundreds of times we’ve nuked ourselves.

        In short they’d nope the fuck out on account of us being raging psychos.

          When we achieve the first jump to warp speed, then we’ll make the first contact with Spock.

          It’s history‽

          Would these greys not have experimented with nuclear explosives and/or had nuclear incidents in their past? Surely they would look at us the same way we would look at the English and French hurling huge rocks at each other in the middle ages were we to time travel. There are plenty of reasons for intelligent life to skip past earth but I doubt a history of nuclear science is one of them.

            Presumably.

            But are you really comparing to a rock that might kill a few people (or dead cows that might kill a few more, maybe ruin some water,) to a weapon whose intent is to destroy entire cities?

            It’s doubtful that the amount of radioisotopes would be dispersed by industrial accidents, both because it’s reasonable to assume steps would be taken to prevent it, and simply because the volume isn’t anywhere near the same.

            Also, consider that pure FTL physically can’t exist given our current understanding; and it’s very unlikely we have an understanding that is that far off. So it’s likely any trip here would largely be one way, at least until we reverse engineer the technology.

            Which is the real reason they almost certainly don’t come. A relativist transport is really just a really, really big missile. And of we’re not concerned with a zero/zero intercept (ie no flip over….) it would likely make a nuke look tame.

            Still if we’d nuke ourselves…. Yeah. Well the mirror universe version of Vulcans making first contact is probably more accurate…

            In any case that leaves coming here to wipe us out (cuz we’re also almost certainly not the only genocidal assholes,) or proselytize (also almost certainly not the only religious nutters.)

            And my favorite… the ones that try to proselytize and then turn genocidal when we say “no”.
