Brandi, that makes him not a nerd, but an idiot.

And you, I must say, a double idiot, because you know something’s wrong with him, and yet… YOU’RE MARRYING HIM.

Suck what?!

I clearly hate my relationship

I could talk to you for hours about any of those

However a nerd is very socially akward and knows a lot about everything

Dictionary Definitions

Nerd: an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit

Geek: a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)

My initial reaction is outrage. If there is any reason that this generation is having an easier time of it (which I am not assuming as a given), it’s because previous generations are creating a safer space for them. Now there may be images of nerds in the media that are kinder, and that have the potential to both comfort those who identify and broaden those who don’t…

But come on, are you paying attention? It’s not real– it’s not even close. The reality is that humans are hardwired to notice and be afraid of the different. That is not going away, regardless of whether the trimmings have become socially sanctioned.

Part of being a nerd is sticking out like a sore thumb, being ostracized, being favored, being hated and humiliated, feeling pressured to use the gifts we didn’t ask for to solve the world’s problems, the world that mostly marginalizes us.

Plus, so much of the “nerd is cool” paradigm is based on the desire to not look like a fool when the young nerds in questions grow up to make millions of dollars. But what when the majority do not? I fear a new wave of adult shaming, one that makes me hesitant to go to my ten year reunion.

Incidentally, and I don’t think this will be news to you, but it looks like your pain and loss are a direct result of isolating yourself from others, including those who would be your allies and friends. Why are you still turning away?

thank you for making my day that much worse.

BTW, by nerd I mean someone who knows a lot about computers and other tech-related topics. I do play some video games, but I’m not like “ZOMG I HAEV TO PLAY DIS GAEM OR ILL DIE!!!1!!1!!”

Geeks are the ones who play WoW/DnD excessively, or are obsessed with Star Trek/Star Wars/Doctor Who/Battlestar Galactica/Lord of the Rings/Any other works of fiction.

Also, I play White Wolf games as well hence the name, I only play the Larps though.

Yes, I’m a nerd. Through and through.

Heck I even plan on cosplaying at the next convention. Either that or making one of my friends wear the costume. It’s a Dom.

Hm.. I have a very focused eye and a main area of interest. Does that make me a nerd or a geek?

But I guess I couldn’t answer, so I don’t qualify as nerd according to the test anyway.

As to his use of “threat range” I do believe he was talking about moving into a threatened square. And I too thought the question was bogus due to there being no feats listed.

2. “nerd” is a characteristic of personality, so, ugly can’t be used to describe all of them.

3. Nerds are NOT ego-trippers. They’re more likely to err on the side of “i’m not worthy” (which can be annoying, but is bearable in moderation!)

4. You’re a bitch, and yet, you think you’re entitled to a guy who’s anything else. How is THAT ok?

5. you’re an idiot. That’s probably why people make you feel like an idiot, because you are one.

the intent was obvious.

“If you have to take a moron…”, well, you don’t, but if you’re so desperate you’d settle for a moron then I guess your ridiculous man-hating is just a facade anyway, and you’re just another woman in need of validation from a man.

And yeah, these kinda guys feel they’re entitled to the best women (meaning the skinniest, hottest, youngest girls with huge boobs and nothing to say about anything but ‘yes’) because they know some math and that makes them better than everybody else. They usually come at you with trying to convince you that you’re ugly and dumb and therefore need to be their sex-toy because it’s not like you’d get anything better, and seriously, women are made by evolution to fulfill the sexual needs of men anyway, so what the hell are you trying to do, thinking about what you want for yourself?

I think a part of it has to date back to primal urges (bigger women=better chance offspring will survive), but at this era it has gotten warped into something else.

Find me on steam if you have a good answer.

“Crap, I don’t play barbarians”
“Crap, I usually play spellcaster with one handed weapons at most”
As I’m about to grab my Core Rulebook I read further on…
“Crap”
Then I see the follow up questions

“I didn’t think of the feats…crap”
