Somewhere, probably.

In the last place you'd think to look at: Earth.

>Somewhere, probably.
Not a good answer. You are dumb. Post less please.

is that way

Space is fuck huge and attenuation is a real bitch.

>huge
That's not the problem though. The bigger the space, the greater the chance of finding life.

Problem is that there's nothing out there.

>You are dumb.
Fine I'll give you the real answer.
Resources are finite.

Aliens are either:
content
non-existent
dead
can't get close enough to C for visiting certain star systems to be reasonable
busy visiting/mining other star systems
rare enough to be a few (simultaneously) per galaxy and intergalactic travel is generally recognized to be fruitless.

none of your "solutions" explain that we don't see anything out there.

I don't know, rarity and/or radio stayed a meme seem like pretty good explanations to me.
