Out-of-this-world possibilities: A look at life-sustaining planets beyond Earth (Paid content by EA Mass Effect Andromeda)

Are we alone? Sure. Humanity is the center of the Universe. We must certainly be THE ONLY intelligent lifeforms in the ENTIRE Universe.
Seriously. Based on the unbelieveably slow progress we as as species have made over the past what, several thousands of years, I would put us, at BEST at the low-end of average of all species in the Universe. A solid C- for humanity.
Seriously…I pray there are more evolved, more intelligent beings than Us out there. Somewhere. Please?!?

Climate Change Deniers Think Polar Bears Are Thriving in a Melting Arctic

Because they are uninformed. Anyone who looks at the science objectively can at least see indications for concern. To see the complete opposite of the truth requires faith in a ‘special’ kind of science. A science where you start with what you want to believe is true, and then create studies to back up your position, ignoring any facts that don’t fit with your theorem to eventually arrive at your ‘proven’ science-based ‘truth’… You know that isn’t actually science, right?

Trump’s Latest Executive Order Guts Obama-Era Environmental Protections

It’s completely fucked that a President has the power to fuck things up so badly. What about checks and balances? Congress is a loss. The only hope are the courts, and he’s rapidly gutting their judicial future by stacking the benches. THIS is why we need a 3 party system. This type of power grab couldn’t happen without the bipolar partisanship that both parties love so fucking much.

Dangerous security flaw discovered in smart commercial dishwasher

Well, I for one am glad that our dishwasher is as dumb as fuck. There’s a growing case to be made for cheap, dumb appliances in this age where everything in the Internet of Things is connected and potentially abused by hackers on either side of the law.
Choose your new appliances carefully!
