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.

We’re only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.

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

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I don't believe you, you use Lemmy. You are at least somewhat nerd.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 month ago

Ah, but I'm on the anarchist instance.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So your reasoning that you're not a nerd is that you're an anarchist? I got some bad news for you...

We're early adopters. By definition: we're nerds.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.

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’d say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, that’s what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.

Closeted nerd reporting for duty

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I wanted to be a nerd but I can't even geek. I'm more of a dork.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Careful. That sounds like dweeb talk.

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..
