When Will People Catch On That This Guy Is an Affirmative Action Joke?

39 Comments on When Will People Catch On That This Guy Is an Affirmative Action Joke?

1. Am I missing something? Why is “contact light” considered “a statement related to the state of the vessel” not a comment and “Houston… the Eagle has landed” the opposite, when its another “state of the vessel”?

2. I care nothing about what Tyson’s race is. Fact is he’s a self-centered dickhead.

   Put some thought to that, Neil.

3. I’m so smart your are not smart enough to realize just how smart I am.

4. What a moron! He’s one of those people who’s too stupid to realize he’s stupid. The left is full of them.

5. Schizophrenics also have more thoughts than you will ever know.

6. He may have his faults, but he does make some pretty good frozen chicken strips.

7. Good God, the man is an asshat. If “Contact, light” is not a comment, (with which by definition I would agree.) then neither is: “Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed” (They are both statements.)

   Note to the self proclaimed genius: “base” is capitalized when part of a proper noun and it’s capitalization does not require any extra characters.

8. He impresses a lot of college students who think he’s the bees knees when it comes to intelligence. Poor souls.

9. Whoa. Lay off de grass, Tyson!

10. 1) Isn’t “Affirmative Action joke” redundant?

    2) I coulda *sworn* the first words – per revised and updated Wikipedia – were, “Dat be one small step fo Da Man, one big ass step fo homie.”
    (I always believe what I read on the internet)

11. Bright side of the moon is 250 deg. Check the AC unit

12. “The internet is filled with nerds who are desperate to 1) demonstrate their love for science and 2) display their superiority to everyone else. I had provided them all with a chance to do both, at the same time. They were falling over each other to tell me that I am the reason the world is a bad place.”–dogboner

13. Actually, the first words spoken from the moon were by Alice Kramden:

    “I never thought he’d actually do it!”

14. Neil deAss Tyson is simply a jerk. I heard his PhD thesis is why water is wet.

15. In related news, TRUMP HATES BLACK PEOPLE!

    Word!

16. I’ve never tweeted, but doesn’t a tweet have a 140 char limit vs. 125?

17. F4UCorsair, me neither, and I thought 140 also, but I’m sure NdeGT has some cute, little “gotcha” explanation he wants to be asked about.

18. He’s the Nathan Thurm of Sciency Stuff.

19. F4U, Twin, you are correct. The limit is 140 characters. Neil’s infallibility is fallible.

20. We hate stupidity equally. We hate Nye too.

21. I believe the word is arrogant. My dad use to say “Some people grow, some people swell”.

22. He is the smartest guy he knows, others think he is an insufferable bore.

23. He wastes time tweeting like a little scientific song bird.

    Someone needs to tell him that all he’s ever done is ‘state the obvious.’ That’s hardly ‘science.’

24. NDGT needs to check his Funk & Wagnall’s – in all fairness, that’s probably his white privilege ancestry that makes him so arrogant….
    com·ment
    [ˈkäment]
    NOUN
    a verbal or written remark expressing an opinion or reaction:
    “you asked for comments on the new proposals”
    synonyms: remark · observation · statement · utterance · pronouncement · [more]
    VERB
    express (an opinion or reaction):
    “the review commented that the book was agreeably written” · [more]
    synonyms: remark on · speak about · talk about · discuss · mention · remark · [more]

25. But Neil doesn’t THINK of them as “comments”. The science is settled.

26. Smug, pompous arsewipe….. Neil probably thinks that 140 characters is way too many for most of us to comprehend, so he limits it to 125. What a genius!

27. What a little girl.

    NDGT is an embarrassment to all actual little girls.

28. What people? I knew this douche was an asshole the first time I heard him years ago.

29. If he’s so smart where’s his hyphen?

30. Ain’t dat right, Kingfish?

31. The most annoying thing about this guy is his hyphenated last name. If you have a hyphenated last name then there is an 87% chance that you’re obnoxious

32. He’s a dick, but it’s not a flaw, it’s a feature.

33. Affirmative action fraud

34. Neil is condescending. That means he talks down to us.

35. Dr Tyson puts more into 125 characters than others put into 140. He is 10.71% more efficient, which translates into more fluid gameplay and better user experience.

36. “I don’t think of them as “comments””
    It’s OK Neal, I don’t think of you as a scientist.

37. I’m still pissed that he poached Cosmos from Carl Sagan, an actual scientist.

38. His degrees are Arts degrees not Science degrees. As such, he’s grifter like Obama. What a filthy “tird.”

39. WhoDaPhuck is that dick head?

    Nevermind, I don’t care.
