I'm on the border of nerd and geek
I'm a bona fide alpha male. Imagine Joe Rogan but more buff and with additional BDE. When I talk everyone listens. I was the star of every sports team I've been part of. I can lift a motocycle above my head and then ride off into the sunset on it.
Usually posting fit-pics on insta but I accidentally clicked a link and ended up here.

Iβd say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, thatβs what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.

I'm not. College dropout waitress married to an artschool dropout chef.

Who else does research on obscure social media platforms because they are fed up with mainstream surveillance capitalism social media.
Edit: If to be a nerd is to have a strong interest in something particular then everyone should be a nerd because having interests is awesome.
I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.
Not only. There are also some communists and furries.
no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california
Not old, not communist and I am from Canada. I am only sort of a programmer. Only do it as a hobby and my job is only tangentially related to it.
hey now.
I already did
Is this a Futurama reference?
Yes!
Excellent! I like it.
Closeted nerd reporting for duty
No.
Next question.

Noo...
Iβm writing a book on adaptations. I wouldnβt consider myself a nerd, but writing a book about adapting works from one medium to another is very nerdy.
Everyone is a nerd about something. That's how interests work in general: you only ever get called a nerd for being interested in something that others aren't interested in, but they're also interested in stuff you're not interested in, so..
