I don’t really like Neil Degrass Tyson or Bill Nye.

I feel like they’re more celebrities than actual scientists.

They are, really. Degrass Tyson in particular seems to have picked up a reputation for putting his foot in his mouth because of it.

I’m a big fan of the 2014 Cosmos series despite Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s dickishness on Twitter.

Neil is a real scientist. And making fun of Christmas on Twitter doesn’t make him a dick. You have more of an argument with Bill Nye being a celebrity more than a scientist, but you can’t deny that he is extremely intelligent and knows what the fuck he’s talking about.

Sure it does.

I’ll deny both things.

He said something along the lines of, let’s celebrate the birth of a very important man today, Sir Isaac Newton. Newton was born on December 25.

OH MY GOD WHAT A DICK

I mean really?

It’s not disrespecting Santa Claus to point out someone else was born on that day too.

No it doesn’t. If you want to see someone being a dick about Christmas, I’ll do it for you. Christmas is a shithole holiday for hypocrites. That’s being dickish, and I won’t apologize for it.

Well, then you’re wrong.

Groot is like Chewbacca except instead of rawring he says “I’m Groot” and the raccoon somehow understands him.

That’s nothing. You should see the other obnoxious shit he writes on Twitter.

Not enough people read the EU.

Tyson comes across (to me, at least) as kinda pretentious.

Maybe it’s just his Twitter persona, I don’t know.

I don’t see what’s douchey about it (and I’m not a fan of a the word “pretentious” in general). He’s just doing what 90% of people do on twitter, random musings.

He isn’t wrong. Nye has a bach degree in mechanical engineering, and was a comedian. I am sure he has at least a basic understanding of the principles he presented on his show, but that’s like calling me or you a scientist. Bill Nye Saves the World is proof he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

It’s not like calling me or you a scientist. I haven’t seen Bill Nye Saves the World but the main problems people have with him is that he’s harsh on climate change deniers and he differentiates sex and gender. I don’t see those as problems.

I don’t think any of that is a problem. People care more about football then other stuff, most people don’t have common sense, there’s nothing douchey about his description of Leap Year. I guess I have higher standards for what constitutes a douchebag.
