Hate to tell you this, dipshit, but ISIS is as conservative as they come.... probably even more-so than the evangelicals here in the US. It's not religion that's the problem so much as it's the fucking authoritarian bent conservatives who take charge of it.
Inside the kuiper belt... as in: from the sun to the kuiper belt. Moving out from there, we have no idea how many objects are in the belt itself, or the oort cloud, or anything in between them, and we really don't have a clue whether there could be life on any of them.... we haven't been there to explore.
You're actually saying two different, and mutually exclusive ideas there. Either A: they are not there; or B: they are there, but the universe is so big we'll just never encounter them. Those two ideas are opposite of each other.
As for why scientists can't accept the idea of "they simply aren't there," i imagine a great deal of it is the incredibly small probability of us being the only one considering not only how incredibly vast the universe is, but what's shaping up to be how many planets are out there, and taking in to account the other variables such as the paltry few dozen years we've been looking out of 14 BILLION years everything has been around.... to come to any conclusion ruling out the other 99.999999999999999999999999999999% of the universe.
No, i didn't count the 9's, but i can guarantee i am incredibly short (by millions, billions or billions of millions....) of them when just discussing the observable universe; if i included the rest of the universe we can see, i might have to add another unknown googols of them.
Consider there's at least 110 objects inside the kiuper belt in our solar system that "could" house life. We know one does, because we live there; but there's at least 2 that are very promising candidates that may hold life as well. We don't know on them because: we haven't even been there. So, there's two more worlds with a decent shot of having life (albeit, not intelligent life) JUST IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM... yet somehow the argument that the entire rest of the universe is void of intelligent life, and has been for the past 14 billion years, is actually spoken out loud without being laughed out of the village as the most ridiculous thing ever said? How that happens is the real mystery here.
Creationists like to bandy about a number on the probability of an organic molecule coming together on it's own, the precursor(s) to life, and say it's so astonishing small it couldn't happen. Now, that used to be more popular, because i think some of them finally got the memo that we've found those molecules floating in interstellar gas clouds... but any that still use it basically have an very limited knowledge of chemistry. However, that small "chance" isn't even in the same ballpark as the chance there's no intelligent life out there somewhere. Hell, it's not even on the same planet.
But, as i said, you're putting forth two arguments. The second argument is: they're there, we'll just never find them. Maybe, maybe not.... my magic 8-ball says check back in 100, 200, and 500 years. 48 years ago we landed on the moon. 48 years. The computer for the mission has less computing power than the Ti-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... i bought in high school for $14.99; we're advancing in technology at a rate faster than any other time in our species history. We may never find them..... but i wouldn't bet on that.
Yes, men and women are different (fact)... but, women are not inferior to men purely because their women (that IS the conclusion that was written about, which even the authors of the studies he cited called his conclusions wrong). I do realize that it is the conservative mantra though; however, it simply ain't so.
Now, if you want to compare the rampant misogyny in the conservative mindset to trust in science (two radically different things).... https://www.theguardian.com/en...
Now, if you change that start from "Using the scientific fact..." to "Abusing the scientific fact...." you'd have hit the nail on the head.
How many days in a row are the conservative trolls that help run/. going to be posting more, and more, and more of the same story? When will their victim card get worn out? How about we move on to something that's actually somehow related to science or technology instead of more whining.
A business can make anything it wants, but unless a consumer buys it, the business will be nothing. Business isn't about what a business wants to do or sell, it's about what consumers want. Take a minute or two to think that over. It's a symbiotic relationship ONLY as long as the business is providing what the consumer wants... once it fails to do that, it's dead.
Trickle-down economics DOES NOT WORK, AND NEVER HAS.... no matter how much you want to defend it. Take a look at Kansas.

No. Trickle down economics doesn't work... never has, never will. Businesses are not what drives the economy, consumers are; if consumers don't spend, businesses blow in the wind and die.
Not a day goes by without a conservative whining about those mean old liberals. Conservatives on/. are not any different, they just down-mod anything they don't agree with or like as a mob.
Now, if you're trying to suggest that Obama was treated far better by the right than Trump is being treated by the left, there's really no need to continue this conversation, as you are nothing more than a brainwashed idiot who's incapable of thought.
He followed data he didn't collect, or understand, to a conclusion he had already decided was right (even given the fact that the data DID NOT support that conclusion).... that's called confirmation bias. Even the person who did collect some of the data, whom the engineer posted as a source, says the engineer came to the wrong conclusion.
So, Google probably should have fired him for not being able to read and understand the written word, or maybe for being so clueless as to have absolutely no foresight in regards to the possible repercussions of his actions. Either way, conservatives have pushed "at-will employment" laws to undermine unions for 30+ years, and his firing is allowed by those.... so while he may not be whining, and just answering questions... all of these posts on/. past the first one is basically conservatives whining about a perceived slight because of their victim complex.
Consider that, as a group, people who are anti-intellectual, with a stuck-in-the-1800's mentality probably won't do so great working in a place where it actually takes intelligence to get in the front door. It's interesting though, that you only place importance on diversity when it comes to politics.
Conservatives have become a cult in this country, and like most cults/religions, the members tend to be outspoken about their "beliefs," usually far past the point of simply annoying everyone around them that isn't part of their cult. Growing up on a small farm, there were two butchering shops in our county... one had a great butcher, and was pretty much the go-to place for most people. The other had decent people, but not as skilled as the former. At one point, the owner of the better shop "got religion," and i'm talking born again christian religion. Two years later he was almost out of business, not because people hated Christians.... hell, where i grew up (southern Oregon in the 60's) there was Christian and Jehovah Witness.. no Jews, no Mormon, no nothing; but he was almost out of business because when you went to him ALL he could do was rant and rave about his new-found religion... and everyone, even all the other Christians, got sick and tired of putting up with it.
That...is how conservatives in the US have become. But, with Google at least, they have to be intellectual enough to get in the door to start with. So maybe to increase the number of conservatives working at Google, you should start a campaign to stop conservatives from deriding learning, critical thinking, and actually being intelligent, and instill them with the sense of actually wanting to learn something, to grow, and to be better than what humanity was 200+ years ago.
Conservatives love playing the victim card as often as possible. It's why so many evangelical (non)christians in the US are conservatives, they think they're being oppressed every time they can't treat other people like shit and get away with it.
You don't get those? I get them all the time. I'll type in something like..."google," and it will take me to Google instead of porn. I mean, seriously, WTF is that?
Considering deceptive adds for pr0n and diet pills probably makes up 40-50% of all of them, i'd say it's a pretty good start. If they would have added in male enhancement pills, russian bride sites, and payday lenders.... that'd probably get rid of 75% or more of all of the crap. Then again, that'd probably cause the internet advertising revenue to catastrophically collapse.
That's exactly the point so many people here seem to miss... at work it's their time and their dime, and the best bet is always to keep the mouth shut and just do the work.
Here i thought it was a great demo of not only having to take responsibility for the things you say, but that fucking up at work can get your sorry ass kicked out the door. Hint: it's their company, not his; if he doesn't follow their rules...well, it used to be things this simple didn't need to be said, but apparently we have a much stupider workforce than we used to.

Ahh, you're one of the stupid cunts who thinks fascism and socialism are the same. Does it hurt to go through life so fucking stupid?

The Justice Department is powerless to tell the courts what they can, can't, or must, do.
Well, it could have gone either way.... inside, within, betwixt... maybe not that one...

It just dawned on me what the problem is: the Intergalactic ASCAP got our solar system region-locked so we can only hear our own stuff.
