LMAO I think watching Revenge of the Nerds at age 12 did two unforgivable things to me: -made me a lifelong misandrist deep down -gave me a huge crush on the young Curtis Armstrong Unforgivable
The main objection I have to "nerd culture" is that its ostracism & tendency toward social awkwardness allowed antisocial people & antisocial sentiments to thrive,*to its detriment*. Being shitty about nerds & geeks only perpetuates that
@ST_LifeTweets: IAMWATCH is Michael Tay’s new vision for watch nerds and artisanal watchmaking
It really did feel like a return to old internet blogs with a dash of early tumblr. Just a bunch of nerds sharing what they’re nerdy about, and everyone being happy to see it. It was doomed to fail with the state of the internet today. But I think you could have had fun there.
I'm honesstly 100% on board with this TBH. There's way too much wearing of hair-shirts and whipping of the back with scourges among nerds and geeks in left-wing spaces at this point. "Liking niche science or pop culture topics" does not make you an untouchable. Cut that out and grow up.

day 10: book Bored, and hungry of course, our dragon goes to get some knowledge. fans and nerds alike disappear en mass, and books are ripped to shreds. the dragon couldnt find any interesting books, but you know what they say: uh, eat your words? eh, he'll edit that later... #voretober2024
have you considered how high quality these offsets are and how we are creating economic opportunity for underprivileged nerds
