That's a personality trait I see a lot among conservatives in general and Trump supporters in particular:

"If it doesn't affect me personally then I don't give a flying fuck."

Trump has thrown a lighted match into a dry hay bale. Now the fire is going to spread everywhere. Bombs will start falling on every country in the region. Infrastructures will be destroyed, civilians will lose everything and live in terror everyday. Refugies will flood other countries and live in miserable conditions. Men, women and children will die. By the hundreds. By the thousands.

But none of that will probably "affect you personally", so you won't give a flying fuck.

What a wonderfull human being you are.

Would you travel to a country that has threatened the sovereignty of your country with military action ? Would you travel to any country that is allied with a country that has threatened the sovereignty of your country with military action ?

Danes and canadians do not feel safe travelling to the US for obvious reasons, or at least obvious to anyone not trapped in the little american information bubble. And citizens of countries allied with Danemark and Canada also don't feel safe travelling to the US. And also refuse to do so out of solidarity for Danemark and Canada, and in protest of a country that has betrayed its allies.

What the US has done to Canada is as if your long time neighbor and great friend had suddenly pulled out a knife and threatened you with it. He might later appologise profusely, claim it was just a bad joke, or that he doesn't know what got into him. But the fact is that after this, you will never fully trust him again. Ever.

Comment Re:Every time there's a republican in the White Ho (Score 4, Insightful) 207

The world's current attitude towards the US has nothing to do with the current president being a republican, and everything to do with him being Donald Fucking Trump.

There have been numerous republican presidents in the past, and altough usually not being as much liked in the rest of the world as democratic presidents, they have had little to no impact on tourism and international trade. But then again, no previous american president, republican or democrat, has ever threatened with military action the sovereignty of allied nations, and in particular of Canada, their long time partner, friend, and unwavering ally.

And what's worse is that a majority of americans, especially those working in the tourist industry, have absolutely noticed the enormous drop in canadian tourists, but when asked for the reason, they seem completely clueless. That's what is most depressing; to see that americans really live in their own little information bubble, completely ignorant of what's happening in the rest of the world.

Every time some random Dunning-Kruger slashdotter displays his ignorance to the entire Internet, a kitten dies somewhere.

In astronomy and astrophysics, the term "dark" doesn't mean the same thing as it does in common english, just like the term "metal" doesn't mean the same thing as it does in common english. Astrophysicists and astronomers use the term "metal" to describe any element that is neither hydrogen or helium. To them, there is hydrogen, helium, and metals, which include things like carbon or oxygen.

In the same way, astronomers and astrophysicists use the term "dark" to describe anything that has observable, and even measurable, effects but has not been demonstrated to fit in any current theory. There is no "dark" matter and "normal" matter, because "dark" matter is "normal" matter in all the current hypotheses about it. No astronomer or astrophysicist claims, or has ever claimed, otherwise. They know there is unaccounted for mass in the universe because they can observe it and even measure it through its gravitational effects on stars and galaxies, but they have no current theory on what this mass actually is, only hypothesis. Hence their use of the word "dark".

The same thing applies to dark energy. They observed that the universes' expansion is accelerating, and according to the current theories of physics such acceleration requires a force, but they have no current theory on what this force is, hence their use of the word "dark" force, or more commonly dark energy.

JFC the worst kind of ignorants are the ones who are convinced that they know better than thousands of people who've worked and studied in a field for decades and add on knowledge that's been accumulated for centuries. For fuck's sake, stop killing kittens and shut the fuck up when you don't know what you're talking about.

There is no over-representation of anybody when people are hired on merit.

But that's the whole point: People have never been hired on merit. Ever.

The procedure has always been the following: Collect all resumes, then throw away all the blacks, then all the women, then all foreign-sounding names. If you happen to know the candidates that are gay, throw those away as well. And then, choose among the remaining candidates based on merit. It's been like that literally for centuries.

And it infuriates me when people like you call other people "racist" while being themselves the most disgusting racist pigs possible.

Finally: Stop conflating DEI and woke. They're not the same thing. Although I could understand why you would want to conflate many concepts together to reduce their number to a level your limited brain capacity can understand.

Racism and sexism existed before DEI. That was the reason of creating DEI in the first place.

Strait white males have been so used to being over-represented for so long that they feel under-represented when they are actually represented accurately.
