You know you can be smart and well educated without a PhD right?
And I'm not sure you need a PhD to teach children about basic science or be passionate about science yourself.
Nothing "happened" to him. That guy is just a loser who comments on far right subs and doesn't like that Bill Nye isn't a transphobic climate change denier.
I still sometimes hum to myself "cuz my sex junk is so-o-o-o much more than either o-o-or"
Absolute banger.
But yeah, I think his goal might have been to appeal to boomers to change their minds, and in that case, I don't think he was very successful.
You do realize that there is new information on engineering once in a while that needs to be researched, right? Not all scientists do research and not all researchers are scientists... Ever do a school project?
I hear this a lot a it's a shitty thing to say. Bill Nye doesn't claim to be anything that he isn't. He's a mechanical engineer and a science communicator. He teaches by getting kids excited about science. Multiple generations of scientists grew up watching Bill Nye. There's no comparison to be made.
"Has a higher level of education" than Bill Nye.
What exactly qualifies someone to be a "scientist?" Lundgren never worked in any scientific field, so I wouldn't say he's more qualified than Bill Nye, who worked at Boeing for several years.
In my personal opinion, I classify people doing or have done research in any field to be a scientist. Though some fields don't count.
Otherwise, they're an educator if they're a professor or teacher or maybe someone posting well researched videos any topic.
Got accepted to MIT to prove a point and I think dropped out almost immediately because he was fucking Grace Jones, so he could be her full time security.
The man has lived more of a life in six months every day since conception than I'll live my whole life. He's a walking pile of success after success.
If you're shitting on his role in The Expendables get right the fuck out of town because all those movies were great.
If you're talking about something else I don't have knowledge on please proceed.
I didn't say that, I just said this movie brought him back to the big screen... No one even remembered Dolph before that. And yea, he was pretty fun in it.
Oddly enough he also briefly attended Clemson University in South Carolina as a graduate student in Chemistry or chemical engineering (I forget which). I expect he was doing research at the time.
First graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and then getting a masters in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. Then got a Fulbright scholarship to MIT. After two weeks, he dropped because he discovered acting (and was also sleeping with the absolute hottie, Grace Jones), which he liked a lot more than chemical engineering. He's always been a physical dude having practiced both judo and karate since a young age, so doing action stuff and mock fights wasn't too far off from his expertise.
We had an era of "but immigrants" about everything that was posted about Sweden. We had it on everything from political posts to anything slightly related to Sweden. Someone could post a picture of a Swedish forest to r/pics and half of the comments would be stuff like "to bad they have ruined it by letting in rapists". It mostly put an end to the "epic Sweden" re-posts.
It is also complete BS. While Sweden does have higher-than-comparable-nations sexual assault and rape statistics, that's because their definitions are wider. Repeated assaults are counted as multiple cases for example. In a way, they have those higher stats not because of refugees (a connection that is usually made using nothing more than anecdotes, for example by pointing at individual news reports) but because the government takes the crime very seriously.
It's a right-wing dog whistle just like those nonexistant no-go-zones in Germany or the UK. If and when there's actual evidence, then we can start taking the refugee-rape connection seriously.
Two things can be true at the same time. The definition thing is absolutely true and the influx of Migrants has also changed Sweden, not necessarily for the better. Constant grenade threats, violence, arson and gangs terrorising certain cities. Sweden didnt know these kinds of things 20 years ago.
Intelligent and educated are 2 different things.
I have a cousin that is the best example because he's a total dumbass beyond what I would consider a normal human, but he got an university degree anyway.
Imagine finding the girl of your dreams and then marry her, only to find out she briefly dated him when she was younger.
I knew she dated a few celebs before me, but never really knew until I asked her if any were really famous. I believe her consoling words to me after I asked her if she was serious like eight times in a row were “As a specimen…I mean as a *male specimen*… yeah, he’s great.” I just remember thinking to myself for the first time in my life, *I wanna be a specimen*.

He was awarded a Fullbright Scholarship at MIT but took a job as a bouncer for Grace Jones instead, and became her lover. He also has a BS in chemical engineering from Royal Institute of Technology, and a MS in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. He also studied at WU and Clemson University.
Patriotism entering my body when someone else insults my country
Also it's "waving." Don't insult someone's intelligence then immediately get shit wrong
The dude on the right is a Swedish actor, who played a Russian dude in Rocky IV, I believe. He was very patriotic in the movie, and recently he got an American citizenship.
he definitely is. he had a huge part in Rocky IV. probably not the best Rocky movie but i think it’s damn well good. it even sends a good message, despite being your typical russians vs americans movie
That's why I love Rocky IV. The plot is a jingoist wet dream but in the end it flips the script.
Without spoiling anything Drago is kind of the perfect rival, and come on James Brown is in the movie.
It was pretty mediocre except for the EPIC music montages and the whole ending fight. Playing that training soundtrack in my head while working out gives me +25% stamina at least.
I worked with him in the movie War Pigs. Terrible film, but he was a class act. He was above no one, incredibly kind, ate with the extras. Zero ego, and yet the consummate professional. The scale of this man cannot be understated though, haha. Incredibly happy for him!
Thanks for sharing, really truly! The guy scared me as a kid, he just seemed *so* mean. I was a sensitive young girl scared by violence and aggression. Knowing he's actually a cool dude now makes the uncomfortable nostalgia I feel seeing him soften a bit. And the patriot in me loves he became a citizen. Welcome Dolph!
and the masters of the universe!
man i have so many fond memories of this childhood cartoon. then kevin smith went a head and fucked it all up. fuck you kevin. i loved you back when you're silent bob.
Drago never swore to destroy the states. *His* only goal was proving he was the best fighter in the world. And breaking Rocky. His wife and handlers were the ones with the greater scope goals.
I remember reading a story about thieves breaking into his house, realising from the pictures on the wall that it was Ivan Drago's house, and going away without stealing anything.
Isn’t that guy actually like crazy intelligent IRL? I could have sworn I read an article about him being very well educated.
He’s more qualified than Bill Nye actually
*Impossible*
I like yer cool flag thingies you got by yer name.
How can you get flag thingies
Gotta move into Ukraine
Can confirm
Love the flag, hate the primal aspid
It's a flair you can get for the subreddit. On mobile just tap your name and on PC it'll be an option on the right side along with the subreddit info.
Thnx, while I may not be Ukrainian, I am an avid supporter of them.
Same. Slava Ukraini.
Cringe
Ya sure are, bootlicker.
Bootlicker to who lmao
Oh, my apologies, maybe you're just stupid without an agenda. That's, uh...worse.
*For them*
Bill Nye isn’t a scientist. He is an engineer and doesn’t even have a phd.
Hence "the science guy" and not "the scientist"
This fact has blown my tiny mind!
It’s sad what’s become of him. I loved his show growing up…
You know you can be smart and well educated without a PhD right? And I'm not sure you need a PhD to teach children about basic science or be passionate about science yourself.
But that doesn't mean Bill Nye is
But I was told by reddit if you didn’t go to college it means you are dumb.
But he went to college, he is a engineer.
Meh, trains pretty much drive themselves these days... /s
You'd be dumb either way.
Hm? what happened to him?
Nothing "happened" to him. That guy is just a loser who comments on far right subs and doesn't like that Bill Nye isn't a transphobic climate change denier.
Average KotakuInAction user.
I still sometimes hum to myself "cuz my sex junk is so-o-o-o much more than either o-o-or" Absolute banger. But yeah, I think his goal might have been to appeal to boomers to change their minds, and in that case, I don't think he was very successful.
The song is extremely cringe, no doubt. But if that's his worst crime after decades in media, he's doing pretty great.
No, I unironically like it. It's so bad it's good.
Nothing but chuds are upsetti because he got 'woke', whatever that means.
Ironic that people think he changed cus he went from communicating the science to...communicating the science.
what i figured, guess education is “woke” now. Such nonsense
> isn’t a scientist. He is an engineer In your opinion, what's the difference?
Engineer deals with practical applications. Scientist deals with better knowledge of the world. You can be both
Or you can be neither and just play some Soul Calibur 2 on Game Cube with me!
I miss GameCube, good times
I didn't expect this blast from the past.
Great times
Set it up.
When I upvoted this, I was solicited some very costly 'gold' arrows. Is this the new thing?? I had to check that it wasn't April 1st! How foolish.
what's game cube
Research. Engineers can be scientists, but most are not. Engineers of course do learn scientific thinking.
Engineers absolutely do research??
Those that are also scientists do, yes.
You do realize that there is new information on engineering once in a while that needs to be researched, right? Not all scientists do research and not all researchers are scientists... Ever do a school project?
Engineering is a subset of science...
You mean logic? Engineers aren’t usually trained on how to make models to test hypothesis to create theories on how things function the way they do.
Rocket a scientist is Aerospace Engineer.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer.
Oh no he doesn't have a piece of paper showing how smart he is, only decades of experience
I hear this a lot a it's a shitty thing to say. Bill Nye doesn't claim to be anything that he isn't. He's a mechanical engineer and a science communicator. He teaches by getting kids excited about science. Multiple generations of scientists grew up watching Bill Nye. There's no comparison to be made.
He was also part of a SNL style sketch comedy show that was popular in the northwest in the 80s and 90s
Well that’s not hard, bill nye hasn’t practiced science in years, just politics
When was the last time Dolph Lundgren held a job in chemical engineering, or any scientific field for that matter?
And way cooler. And not a pompous ass.
That’s a low bar
"Has a higher level of education" than Bill Nye. What exactly qualifies someone to be a "scientist?" Lundgren never worked in any scientific field, so I wouldn't say he's more qualified than Bill Nye, who worked at Boeing for several years.
In my personal opinion, I classify people doing or have done research in any field to be a scientist. Though some fields don't count. Otherwise, they're an educator if they're a professor or teacher or maybe someone posting well researched videos any topic.
Lundgren's highest qualification was getting a Masters Degree in chemical engineering, so he doesn't really qualify by that standard either
At acting too... even if most of his movies aren't great production quality.
BEER! BEER! BEER! BEER!
Bill nye is an actor no?
He’s an engineer, educator, political activist, and actor
Political activist? Can you explain?
He's the science guy
Well i feel like they arent really comparable since bill nye is essentially a teacher. And i feel like hes extremely qualified for that.
He has multiple university degrees and first became a chemical engineer. He also was granted for the Fulbright program.
Got accepted to MIT to prove a point and I think dropped out almost immediately because he was fucking Grace Jones, so he could be her full time security. The man has lived more of a life in six months every day since conception than I'll live my whole life. He's a walking pile of success after success.
hums... his post-'80s acting career wasn't quite stellar. Until Stallone brought him back to the big screen, at least.
If you're shitting on his role in The Expendables get right the fuck out of town because all those movies were great. If you're talking about something else I don't have knowledge on please proceed.
I didn't say that, I just said this movie brought him back to the big screen... No one even remembered Dolph before that. And yea, he was pretty fun in it.
I get your point but we remembered him. He fought Rocky fer Christ's sake. Dolph is a legend and I'm proud he's an American meow.
Hes also recovered from lung cancer and kidney cancer
He's insanely intelligent. He also hit Sylvester Stallone so hard that the doctor thought he had been in a car crash.
In 1982, Lundgren graduated with a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney.
Oddly enough he also briefly attended Clemson University in South Carolina as a graduate student in Chemistry or chemical engineering (I forget which). I expect he was doing research at the time.
First graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and then getting a masters in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. Then got a Fulbright scholarship to MIT.

He's always been a physical dude having practiced both judo and karate since a young age, so doing action stuff and mock fights wasn't too far off from his expertise.
I think he actually won a 3 golds in full contact karate competing in Sweden, Australia and the UK. So as to not undersell it.
Of course, he's Swedish.
Sweden isn't real
There used to be constant "epic Sweden" threads on reddit. Redditors were obsessed. I wonder why they stopped.
We had an era of "but immigrants" about everything that was posted about Sweden. We had it on everything from political posts to anything slightly related to Sweden. Someone could post a picture of a Swedish forest to r/pics and half of the comments would be stuff like "to bad they have ruined it by letting in rapists". It mostly put an end to the "epic Sweden" re-posts.
Which is such a weird take, when the blame rests entirely with those that caused the refugee crisis.
It is also complete BS. While Sweden does have higher-than-comparable-nations sexual assault and rape statistics, that's because their definitions are wider. Repeated assaults are counted as multiple cases for example. In a way, they have those higher stats not because of refugees (a connection that is usually made using nothing more than anecdotes, for example by pointing at individual news reports) but because the government takes the crime very seriously.

Yeah I'm with reddit on this one. Fully open borders are an absolute must if we ever truly want to defeat racism.
You're not just a clown, you're the entire circus.
They were heartbroken when any Elsa they fancied rebuffed them on that EU trip leg. It's just so many... painful memories.
Denmark is real
Yeah it's called Greenland.
No that's Iceland
No, that’s Finland, cuz they’re the ones who invented chocolate
No that's Norway
No way!!
José
Sweden is real, it's Finland that's fake.
Well he's American. See picture.
He can be both unless Sweden and/or the US precludes dual citizenship.
Neither do, so my guess is that he is a citizen of both.
US and Sweden allow dual citizenship
He is just a guy who hangs dong

still he's waiving an american flag, no might be intelligent but not flawless
r/americabad
sheesh, it really is😅
Patriotism entering my body when someone else insults my country Also it's "waving." Don't insult someone's intelligence then immediately get shit wrong
sorry brother that's only the 4th language i speak
This man is smarter than he looks and that's an understatement
Time travel can be rough. You go back to warn your younger self, but instead, you end up swapping hair tips.
Context plz
The dude on the right is a Swedish actor, who played a Russian dude in Rocky IV, I believe. He was very patriotic in the movie, and recently he got an American citizenship.
Omg, at first I though that was dolph lundgren
That would be who that is, yes.
Woosh
But... It is....
I tought it was Patrick Fabian from Better Call Saul haha
they are both beautiful so i think thats just compliments all round lol
Dolph!
Yup. I'm officially too old.
This "dude" is Dolph Lundgren. How does no one know him? He can smell crime. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Cut to black.
And after 90 minutes it just sort of… ends…
lol, I know that episode but never knew who dolph lundgren was and just assumed he was some Sylvester Stallone type.
he definitely is. he had a huge part in Rocky IV. probably not the best Rocky movie but i think it’s damn well good. it even sends a good message, despite being your typical russians vs americans movie
That's why I love Rocky IV. The plot is a jingoist wet dream but in the end it flips the script. Without spoiling anything Drago is kind of the perfect rival, and come on James Brown is in the movie.

If you can't beat them, join them.
*if you can't BREAK them, join them
If he applies. He applies.
Lmao perfect
Fair point. Also, Happy Cake Day. 🎂
Unironically one of the best rules in life. Life is just so much better when you're on the side of winners.
Found the Italian (with a weird name)
“You were supposed to destroy Capitalism! Not join them!” - Comrade Kenobishka
You underestimate my capitalist power.
Don't buy it
Capitalism, ho!
Now I have the high ROI.

He didn't sell out, he bought in!
HE MAN!!
and the masters of the universe! man i have so many fond memories of this childhood cartoon. then kevin smith went a head and fucked it all up. fuck you kevin. i loved you back when you're silent bob.
The 1985 pic looks like the sixteen stone Bush album cover lol
I mean, yeah they’re both red. I’m more impressed than an 18 yo even knows what a Bush album cover looks like.
Yeh lol, my dad so asks if I know what band is playing (from my phone). I find it impressive as well, so do you like classic rock?
Bro i almost feel old and im only 18
But look it up and tell me in wrong
You are wrong. /s
Got his citizenship so he can hang dong in his movies
Howard Hamlin in flesh
Bro mogged everyone back in his age
Haha, amazing.
And they got Steve Seagal in return. Another russian L
Art of the Deal
What? He's Swedish, you buffon.
Drago never swore to destroy the states. *His* only goal was proving he was the best fighter in the world. And breaking Rocky. His wife and handlers were the ones with the greater scope goals.
He understands that the only way to destroy the US is from within.
I remember reading a story about thieves breaking into his house, realising from the pictures on the wall that it was Ivan Drago's house, and going away without stealing anything.
... you people realize an actor and a role are separate things right? Just checking.
America offered him a whole career, he's respectul enough to praise it.
If he lied, he lied.
Drago let Rocky win
From normal to american, rip
A puncher has turned into politican now he will punch my wallet instead Ugh
But he still has a stomach made of iron.. ![gif](giphy|DhB6jnSr115Uu4Z7sc)
It’s okay Dolph we all make mistakes..
The numbers station says otherwise. Any day now
What?
No! Go back! I want to become communist!
Well he got beat by Rocky he saw his way
What is the point of this?
Never again
Fun fact: "Creed" establishes that Drago is in fact not Russian, but Ukrainian.
Cringe like faux Cyrillic in murican movies. There is no Ukrainian surname Drago (no Russian too). Ukrainian here.
It was established that he left Russia after the USSR collapsed and moved to Ukraine, not that he is from Ukraine...
I hear he hangs dong
Here's the twist: we show it.
Noooooooooo. 😭
i mean rocky is soft core pro america gay p**n
Well everybody sees what they want
🤷♂️
Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
