Is this a Futurama reference?

Excellent! I like it.

I don't read enough to consider myself a nerd; I'm kind of ignorant. But... I do like nerd topics.

Not only. There are also some communists and furries.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don't fit in any category :D

Imposter syndrome ❀️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

No no, I am stupid too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

Gemini likes to tell me that I’m good in the emotional intelligence area. Haha.

I’m writing a book on adaptations. I wouldn’t consider myself a nerd, but writing a book about adapting works from one medium to another is very nerdy.

I'm not smart enough to be a nerd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Nerd does not imply smart

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Yea I’m just weird

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I am not a nerd

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.

No, I'm cool. I do a good bit of nerdy/antisocial stuff but I'm actually a certified chiller

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.
