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

No no, I am stupid too.
I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don't fit in any category :D
Imposter syndrome β€οΈ
That's an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.
Gemini likes to tell me that Iβm good in the emotional intelligence area. Haha.
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.

I'm not smart enough to be a nerd.
Yea Iβm just weird
Nerd does not imply smart
I already did
Is this a Futurama reference?
Yes!
Excellent! I like it.
Not only. There are also some communists and furries.
Noo...
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.
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.
I'm not. College dropout waitress married to an artschool dropout chef.
I don't believe you, you use Lemmy. You are at least somewhat nerd.
Ah, but I'm on the anarchist instance.
lol anarchists can be nerds
Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.
I'm on a piracy instance and I dont pirate.
Well, anymore. Should really update my music library instead of streaming it.
So your reasoning that you're not a nerd is that you're an anarchist? I got some bad news for you...
So a political nerd lol
With politics, I think the term you want is "wonk".
Not necessarily, a wonk (e.g. a policy wonk) is not analytically intelligent but may be emotionally intelligent.
A nerd and a wonk may have the same area of interest, but different approaches.
Weβre only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.
π₯° Thank you
I don't read enough to consider myself a nerd; I'm kind of ignorant. But... I do like nerd topics.
we're on a niche open source reddit alternative built by communists, written in rust, with multiple sizable linux communities
Good point. We're a bunch of badasses.
