Hoping you guys could help me out on a weird situation I got myself in.
Can't remember if I posted about it here or not, but about a week ago my manager lost her shit and was yelling at a coworker to kill himself while in front of kids, etc etc. I told the Head Manager about this and he was super pissed, and said she was getting fired. Turns out he let her turn in her two week notice and didn't fire her, and now she's super pissed at me.
Earlier today before I got to work, she was talking to two of my coworkers about how she's going to "hire friends to kick his little ass" and "curb stomp his bitch ass to teach him a lesson" as well as "rob his shit". She's also black and this neighborhood is very much just a white neighborhood, however at around 7pm when I was supposed to get off there were three black dudes hanging out around my car on a motorcycle just talking to each other. I stayed at work an extra hour and they finally left. It could have just been a coincidence, but honestly, I really don't feel comfortable coming to work. Especially not on the days I have to work until 10pm.

inb4 "HURRRDURRR U POINTED OUT HER RACE"
I'm not implying because she's black there's anyhting that's going to happen, just trying to point out that a vastly WHITE town where you rarely see BLACK people, it's kinda odd that the only BLACK lady I know who wishes to summon other BLACKS to jump me, and also there suddenly being BLACKS on a motorbike by my car. and I'm REALLY SURE they don't want to play card games on motorcycles either.

I watched my first pewdiepie video today. Well, the first 40 seconds or so of it anyways. It sure left me dumbfounded. The guy just shouted random shit into his mic, like he had some severe mental disorder. But that gets him millions? Shit.
You can't even argue saying his fans are all kids. That only makes it worse. In what kind of world do kids dictate how adults should act?
...Was my line of thought until I realized this shit isn't anything new. The guys's just a (super rich) clown. Literally. lol

Yeah so one of my coworkers shared an article about the earth-like planets found by the kepler mission. It included artists renditions of what these planets might actually look like, and one of my coworkers asked if any of the oceans have been named yet. Another one pointed out that there were no artificial lights visible on the dark sides of these planets, so there was likely to be no intelligent life there. I quietly waited for the person who shared the article to explain to these morons that we have never SEEN an exo-planet before, and these were not photographs. Hell, we just now got photos of pluto and that's only because we got a camera close to it - and these exo planets are billions of times further away than pluto. To my horror, the dude revealed that he also believes that they are photographs. I bit my lip and said nothing. These people are so fucking stupid. I should send then a 'photo' of the milky way galaxy (as if the dinosaurs had sent a camera outside of our galaxy millions of years ago so it could turn around, snap a pic, and send a pic to reach the earth in 2015). /rant
It freaks me out when I think about how we perceive reality with our senses, and there are more than 5, but they are so limited. Like our eyes only detect a tiny tiny fraction of the full range of wavelengths of light, and our ears only perceive a small amount of the range of sound waves, etc. There's so much around us that we simply aren't able to detect, or even perceive. Our ideas and outlooks are largely limited by this tiny range of perception. Life elsewhere might view reality much differently than we do.
this is an interesting read on the subject, especially the "hypothetical explanations" section:

tl;dr it's possible that any intelligent life is the victim of some catastrophe before it's capable of interstellar travel

Like why are we so insistent that other intelligent beings would be radio-communicable, or use radio waves for communication? We built machines to detect radio waves as we have no sense to detect them on our own, but there could be billions of forms of waves or energy that could be used instead, and we just have no idea that they even exist.

we're not ... have to separate scientists from random joes with uninformed opinions
We kinda are, though. The presence of radio communications is practically all they look for. SETI is obsessed with it, and "The Drake Equation summarizes the main concepts which scientists must contemplate when considering the question of other radio-communicative life." Is there something about radio waves that make them a universal communication tool in the eyes of the scientists?
