This wave hit like 10 years too late to be of any use to me.

Socially awkward people are simply drawn to hobbies that feed on the same personality tropes that make them socially awkward. Hence, LARPers.

Anyway, aligning your self-identification with a pithy word like "nerd" means you probably have little of interest to say.


This keeps coming up. Listen, I don't identify myself with labels, but I recognize when I fall in the constraints of labels. Labels are an oversimplification that can be convenient in many instances, often when we don't even fall into such a category but it is advantageous to let others think that we do. So while I may call myself a name like "nerd" or "asshole" I don't believe that I exist solely within it's confines.

Are you sure that's not the alchohol?

Edit: Just a light ribbing based on your avatar, nothing more.

honestly rf i think you're confusing unforgiveable nerds and normal people who take a strong interest in something. the first group is completely indefensible.


You sound like a guilty man there Jeff.

But more seriously, "unforgivable", "indefensible"? That's a little harsh.
