Oh, for heaven's sake, it's glaringly obvious that he was referring to the person who replied to *your* post, not to you. *insert sheldon gif here*Apart from dropping things like de novo lipogenesis into conversations randomly, I am not actually particularly socially awkward at all.
*takes nerd socks and leaves*
I'm not socially awkward either. I'm actually pretty socially awesome. *slinks off*
Again, hallmark, not prerequisite. Although damn, the sensitivity and pedantry of nerddom, you have in spades.
Apparently joking does not work in nerddom. Sorry about that. Will remember it for next time.
No one gave you the handbook?
SENSITIVITY AND PEDANTRY.
Apparently not as I have no idea of the point you are making.0 -
Apparently not as I have no idea of the point you are making.
Allow me to elucidate as, being a nerd, I cannot permit for my point to go unappreciated.
Nerd 1 & 2 feign storming off at not meeting an arbitrary nerd criterion.
Nerd 3 tosses two other stereotypical nerd criteria out which describe the feigned behavior.
Nerd 2 is sensitive.
Nerd 3 is pedantic.
It's the circle of nerd.0 -
I am!Do you have to play video games these days to be a nerd? Since when isn't just being smart and socially awkward enough??
Why is socially awkward a requirement?
"What do you mean you people!?"
Social awkwardness is one of the hallmarks of nerddom. Not because social awkwardness is a prerquisite to nerdery, but rather one of the EFFECTS of nerdery.
If you spend all of your time imaging amazing things and off in your own world, rendering an entirely accurate model of all you survey in your mind along with a functional wet-works physics engine, you don't tend to spend a lot of your time playing My Little Ponies with that ***** Sarah across the street. **** that *****, she always did think she was too good for me. WHO IS LAUGHING NOW SARAH?0 -

What is Nerd 1?
How is Nerd 2 sensitive if it is feigned?
I need to know these things...0 -

I'm not sure how much of this is orchestrated nerdery or how much is genuine.
Life doesn't imitate art; art doesn't imitate life; THEY ARE THE SAME!!1

Nerd lifter here. :drinker:0

I don't play D&D (or any video games) but I think I make up for it....NOVA is my favorite TV program. I could stay home all day watching it on Amazon Prime, if it didn't carry the very-high risk of my boyfriend committing suicide.
LUL. Sounds like my house. Do you get strange glares too?

This could have been avoided if English had a separate plural for "you." Let's blame the linguists!

Someone linked to a GIF maker and the above was in the "HOT NEW GIFS" section. It made me laugh.
Anyway, I'm Scott. I'm an accountant and I started SL5x5 about 6/7 weeks ago

Nerd here as well. Data Engineer by day, Brazilian jiu jitsu brownbelt, mountain biker, and strength trainer by night.
Theres a lot of equations and numbers involved with health and fitness, and I think a lot of Nerds gravitate towards it once they get a taste. And brazilian jiu jitsu is nothing more than athletic chess.0 -
Yes, we're all so intimidated by your Sound Of Music meets Star Wars avatar!I heard this was the place to come get lunch money.

Well, to be fair, sir, it does.This could have been avoided if English had a separate plural for "you." Let's blame the linguists!
The plural is "you". It just so happens that "thou" has fallen out of favor. 0 -
I'm worse than a nerd I'm a World of Warcraft nerd as well :bigsmile:0

<-- pipeline engineer who lifts (and looks cute for NYE festivities). My lifting pics are in my profile.0

No lifting photos, but I love to workout listening to some nerd tunes like Smooth Mcgroove, Powerglove, Minibosses and anime and game soundtracks. I've tried the reading a book on the treadmill thing, but could never get the hang of it. Cosplay, gaming, going to cons and sci-fi are some of my free time hobbies.0

In support of the original post: I work at a software company, and we have a gym at work (which is awesome). A bit ago they invited people to come to a focus group about how to improve the fitness classes and facilities so I went of course, there were probably about 8 of us there, about even mix of gender, all geeks obviously.
Now, granted, there was a little bias because these were the 8 nerds who self-selected to come to a focus group about the fitness facilities, but it cracked me up as we went around the table on the "what could we improve" question and one after another all the guy and lady nerds said "Well, more squat racks." "Yeah, definitely more squat racks." "Yep, those are always filled up."
If this isn't evidence that nerds like weight lifting, I don't know what is Well either that, or evidence that people hang out in the squat rack all day. Both?
(I would post evidence of my own lifting cred and/or nerd cred, but I'm too embarrassed by my poor form, scantily loaded barbell, and chopped-off head in the one squats video I took months ago, and by my expansion-skipping mid-300s ilvl
I'm planning on taking a better video soon.)
(Happy ending: they put in a third squat rack a few months later ^_^)0
