    They do?! Oh my god they’re even cuter than imagined.

    Edit: So I went looking on youtube and found out they don’t really like to be held. They typically hide and stuff BUT this dude has the cutest lil skink ever. Jumps up for treats and comes running! There’s just something beautiful and sweet about that type of trust between an animal with no hints of domestication at all and a person.

    Here’s the youtube short.

    Wait what? Oh now I’ve gotta look into this.

    Edit: Wow. Okay. So Neil pinned himself to a kickstarter for a Video Game called Space Odyssey: The Video Game that was being promised. When the KS was fully funded, the developer vanished and took all money. They promised a ludicrous amount of stuff, so much so that people were claiming it was a scam before the proof that it was happened. After everything was done, they claimed that the kickstarter was for an IDEA for a video game, not a game itself.

    So either NDT is a gullible fool who can be roped into anything (which kind if discounts a lot of what he has to say) or he went in with the knowledge that this was a scam just so he could get a payout.

    Naw he just bullies everyone else acting like an expert in every single field because he’s an expert in one while sexually harassing them.

    NDT wouldn’t bully nerds. He tries to rape them.

    Edit: Reminder that NDT was accused of sexual harassment and assault by 4 women. He all but admitted it in a Facebook post where he tried justifying it with bizarre and frankly creepy reasons. Only real investigations done were by a company that had a finacial stake in him being found innocent (This was post filming Cosmos but before it was released).

    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 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.

    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 <this>” 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.








  • It’s two terms period. They do not have to be consecutive. There are ways for a President to serve more than 8 years but it’s very specific and not really applicable in Trumps case. Unless they decide to toss out the constitution, which honestly seems kinda likely, then it’s two terms.

    But he’s also a 80 year old man who eats McDonalds and coca cola while painting himself with orange, probably lead based, paint. I don’t expect him to survive the next 4 years to be able to run again.
