They aren’t fucking nerds then. Nerds don’t buy Funko Pops.

I can name 3 or 4 people who own walls of Funko pops and I can tell you they wouldn’t know an IDE from MS Word. None of them went to college either.

They’re posers.

I did too. I didn’t get it to look cool, I got it because I have carpal tunnel and I don’t want to have surgery.

I like the clicky, it allows me to type longer, and I can fidgit with the firmware and do what I want with it.

If I got it because it looks techy then I’d just be a poser

They’re not nerds. They’re posers.

Posers. All of them.

Nerds enjoy a hobby, like tabletop games.

Posers buy Funkos and toys that they never open.

Nerds have fun. Posers try to look like they do.

DUH

Which is why they hate us

Don’t connect your devices to the Internet if they worked before without the Internet.

These things are a game changer. For a car, you don’t need the energy density of li-ion. They don’t fly, they don’t get carried around by people.

They are significantly safer than lithium-ion. They don’t burst into flames if the container is breached. They don’t build up hydrogen bubbles. I believe they have a higher cycle lifespan. And they don’t degrade when fully charged or discharged like lithium do.

They are also much more environmentally friendly to develop and cheaper to produce (which mean they will never be allowed into the US because of Elon Musk).

I’m surprised that Reddit has any active users, personally. It’s just so… Fake now.

A fuckton is an understatement.

The step that is conveniently forgotten (because most of the country didn’t learn about it) between protest and violence is civil disobedience.

It’s effective, and it’s been happening. It works particularly well against fascists because it turns their MO against them. Fascists like to waste time arguing then rapidly overwhelm with policy. When that policy is delayed and unenforceable they absolutely go bonkers and damage their system further.

Which is odd you know? I thought “meh I’ve seen some sick shit” but nope. One minute he’s a racist accelerationist bigot and the next moment he still is but his brain is clearly whack and blood is rushing down his neck.

Movies and videogames don’t come remotely close to representing it accurately

Fuck

Yes

Lmfao

You know, a few inches higher and there’s a possibility the bullet could have changed his mind.

Well, if you take away video games we’ll have to find entertainment somewhere

Whatever the fuck my role is now seeing a feature work as intended:

“Oh thank fuck I don’t have to write more Azure Devops Stories.”

I don’t know about dating sites.

It was one thing when I was fat, that I could see never getting any matches. I’m not in a big city, fine. But I lost a ton of weight and have that muscle factor now. So unless I’m like way uglier than I think (although I’m ghost pale, I will admit that, not much I can do there) or people see my 6.0’ height and don’t believe me or the possibility is that the apps don’t actually work like you think they do and they are optimized to make money and not matches.

But the rest of your points are good and something that makes sense.

The woman playing a wingman is probably easier anyway.

My guy friends suck at being a wingman and I suspect the autism has something to with that too.

The reality is I’m going to need to find someone neurodivergent that compliments my autism in order to have a chance at a healthy relationship and I have a strange relationship with numbers, probability, and an inability to accept things as they are.

I guess. There’s just too many sensory things going on during conversations for me to be able to focus enough on generating the words that I intend to come out of my mouth.

Most of the time I talk, I have to go on automatic, and people tend to get really pissed off because I tend to ignore the social rules mandated by neurotypicals. I don’t want to say I can’t improve it, it’s just something that hasn’t been impacted by anything I’ve tried with it.

The only real advantage I have now compared to any other point in my life is that I know I’m autistic.
