No worries the aliens contacted me last night in a vivid dream and told me we're currently too "diseased" (that was the specific term they used) a species to be considered even for intergalactic trade (tier sub-a-1z of membership). They'll get back to us in about 100k of our years and check again, if we're still here, which they highly doubt will be the case. Humiliating, I know, but there it is. Oh I had proof this was an actual communication because in my dream I kept changing my underwear only to find it was still on, always a sign of valid communication.

Also fact. Back to your regular programming, ideally in straight, conventional c.
