I'm certain there is life there. Life just tend to fill every niche.
Explain the lack of space whales to me then.

Space is not a niche.

There's two kinds of performance reviews: the one you make they don't read, the one they make whilst they sharpen their daggers

I would not be surprised to find life in the waters of Europa or Enceladus, but would be surprised (pleasantly) to find anything more complex than microbial life.

NASA detects ocean inside Saturn Moon, potential home for extraterrestrial microbes

Quote from: The Guardian article
"...but water is not the only factor that makes Enceladus such a promising habitat. The water is in contact with the moon's rocky core, so elements useful for life, such as phosphorus, sulfur and potassium, will leak into the ocean."
This is relevant to my interests. Also goddamnit, I'm going to be late by a couple years.
I'd hate to have my joy at the discovery of alien life tainted by the sorrow of being a year or two too late to have a hand in it.

Don't worry, they'll contaminate the sea with our microbes anyway.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

You won’t have to think anymore: it’ll be just like having fun!

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I thought to myself 'Wait, is that true?', then an instant later, went 'Of course it fucking isn't. Not many blue things, and since when were homemade waffles blue?

Incidentally, that looks, to me, like some kind of waffle-shaped blueberry flavoured icecream or something.

As other said, it's a ploy to get gullible people to google "Blue Waffle", which brings up... Disgusting images.
