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. I suppose we may live in different social spheres, but still.

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.
(Btw, I believe in aliens, most people with even passing familiarity with astronomy do.)
Thank you. I was trying to figure out which developmentally disabled site they were referring to.

The first sentence I thought he was being kind not to say “retarded” but yea that’s too much for me.
R word? You mean reddit?
Stop it, Patrick! You’re scaring him!
