Are you advocating for bullying of neurodivergent youth?
I'm advocating for Neil deGrasse Tyson shutting the hell up every once in a while
Edit: Since I need to apparently explain this, NDT is specifically known and not liked for talking about subjects with which he has no knowledge as if he is an expert. Moreover, he will inject himself into random topics of conversation (much like this Halo one) to say that this entirely fantastical thing could never happen in reality because of this one specific thing. People are aware of that, he's not giving anyone new information. It just aggressively comes off as "Um, actually " and the fact that he will do it in the exact same tone of voice every single time is just grating.
Moreover, as pointed out elsewhere, NDT was a wrestler in high school. HE was the one doing the bullying in the first place which clearly extrapolated into his professional career given he was accused of sexual harassment by 4 women and then admitted it with bizarre ass justifications. So yeah. Fuck Neil DeGrasse Tyson. No I'm not pro putting neurodivergent youth into a locker and it's frankly idiotic to even suggest that or come to that conclusion. What I am pro is Neil deGrasse Tyson finally shutting up and exiting public life after acting like a monumental douchebag for decades.
Have we found Unidan's identity?
I know at least one of those women said god told her about her “rape” in a dream. That’s just batshit crazy.
His statement is absolutely correct. It's basic physics.
Simply don't listen and don't reply to statements you don't like. Just like the statement you are reading right now.
Lol the last line of your comment sounded like it was read by ndt
And just because it is correct doesn't mean that it's necessary. The only thing he does is go around on Twitter and actively insert himself into some popular thing just to say "Um actually it couldn't work because reason." It's douchebag behavior and the fact that this behavior with him is so consistent is just annoying. We know it isn't possible in real life. That's why he's a genetically created supersoldier killing aliens in space on a giant ring. Nothing about the franchise is realistic. It is annoying that he just goes "Hey this one particular thing? Wouldn't happen" when the rest of everything is also equally as impossible. That's what the post is about. It isn't going out and finding him and attacking him. It is merely opinion and a simple post. That's all. Chill.
Or, in other words, simply don't pay attention to and don't reply to posts that you don't like. I'd really suggest practicing what you preach. If he's allowed to randomly inject himself into a topic then so the hell am I.
Why is the ring impossible?
I don't preach that.
I don't even make posts about it ;)
Really? Because it looks like you just did by lecturing me about it.
Again. Practice what you preach. You don't get to go around and say "Um actually he's allowed to say whatever he wants" while actively denying other people that exact same ability.
I'm just blocking you now. This is some gross ass redditor behavior to try and police other peoples posts while acting like you're above it all. You're not. You're just lying to yourself.
And I still didn't make a post about it. I simply commented on a post someone felt necessary to produce and put out to see for the world (whatever the reasoning behind that decision really was).
Btw: NDT still is right with the physics.
