Do you ever just look up at the sky and wish some big battle cruiser broke through the clouds and started kicking asses? Oh man that would be awesome. Consider the following image, and imagine a big ass laser coming out of that energy-rich pole:
shit like this is really needed.

I was going to post other things I think about, but everyone probably already knows that I just sit around fantasizing all day.

see look; I post 0.000001% of my mental state for a few minutes every few days, and we already have people like qrter getting pissy.
I don't think I've actually ever posted something which qualifies as a 'thought' hear.
poops.

I bet aliens have, on the retard spectrum, equivalents of our urkel and chia pets. Only they'd be their own unique alien versions.

Imagine that Mars is a Utopia in which there is complete trust, total harmony, no selfishness and no deceit. Now imagine a scientist from Mars trying to make sense of human life and technology. Suppose he studied one of our large data processing centres- an electronic computer with its associated machinery of duplication, editing and error-correction. If he made the assumption- natural to his own society- that the machinery had been designed for the common good, he would go a long way towards understanding it. Error-correcting devices, for instance, would clearly be designed to combat the inevitable and non-malevolent Second Law of Thermodynamics. But certain aspects would remain puzzling. He would make no sense of the elaborate and costly systems of security and protection : secret passwords and code numbers that have to be typed in by computer users. If our Martian examined a military electronic communication system he might diagnose its purpose as the rapid and efficient transmission of useful information, and he might therefore be baffled by the trouble and expense to which the system seems to go in order to encode its messages in a way which is obscure and hard to decode. Is this not wanton and absurd inefficiency? Brought up as he is in a trusting Utopia, it might require a major flash of revolutionary insight for our Martian to see that much of human technology only makes sense when you realize that humans distrust each other, that some humans work against the best interests of other humans. There is a struggle between those who wish to obtain illicit information from a communication system and those who wish to withhold that information from them. Much of human technology is the product of arms races and can only be understood in those terms.

I think they'd understand it very well. Basic life is founded upon survival (erm, otherwise they fail and disappear), so they would have to have risen from that, and even if such a history were long forgotten, they see it in all sorts of biological circles.
I think they'd just laugh and ignore.

specifically at the encryption they might. at lots of the other shit.. who knows? We don't know for certain how many earth-like planets there are in the universe. It may be a common waste.

ha ha, earth and its life are common waste. I just copied that out of a book by my cult leader, richard dawkins.

maybe he's a common waste. I don't think it's so bad around here. Would you rather be an amoeba?

I just got my space ghost, looney tunes and ren and stimpy dvds in the mail and already watched a ton of it. That's two times I've changed the subject now so I'm winning. What? I think I'll do everyo naogi g ag oae a ffavoro and get off retardtronic now. now.
