NATO is a defensive alliance made up of countries. It reacts to threats and protects themselves and their allies. It’s not an aggressive/attack first organization and even then calling it an organization is not really that accurate. It’s an agreement amongst countries. If a NATO aligned country were to invade Ukraine in an attempt to help them, it would be seen as instigating that attack and other NATO countries would have no obligation to join in. If Russia were to then attack that invading country, they would not have the protections of the other NATO countries. Fuck around find out basically.

So like in theory, you could have Canada, or another country, invade Ukraine to help them but Russia would scream endlessly about NATO and NATO would then be in hot water. They’d have to publicly disavvow the Canadian invasion and if Canada were attacked (even on home soil) due to the provocation, I don’t think any other country would be required to defend Canada.

Hey I’m OP and I’m upvoting them too

Not OC but I can’t say I haven’t been smiling like a fucking fool

Occasionally. I get bored. Sue me.

Same! God they’re so fucking cute and adorable

Dude, we’re in a shitpost community. Can we just chill on trying to politically police a shitpost meme? Especially when I’m a fucking Canadian.

I’m not getting into this discussion with you.

Begone.

It is a meme.

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.

You could pick a neutral thing and then denote that as the galactic ‘clock’. We do it as humans to an extent. We use Pulsars to measure distance and time because of the extremely precise rotation times.

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.

Hey i’m just horny

Yeah but does that necessitate telling them to fuck off?

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.

Tom Hardy was doing a Splinter Cell movie?

Not sure. Dig around and find out ;)

I’m lucky my lil girl doesn’t steal my chair. She’d rather hang out in her hammock on the wall right next to my chair. In petting range.

Huh. It might be your instance that doesn’t allow it

Begone.
