No One Cares, Geeks!

Comments

Okay anon, your geekiness is way cooler and more obscure than anyone else's. Congratulations. No one cares.

"Geek" is a very relative term. Be more specific, like: "Where are the Science geeks?!"

I'd like an answer to that as well.

kay_b on July 20, 2012 at 3:24 PM

They're around but they are too busy to be hanging out with all the fake geek hipsters that roam this beautiful city.

You can have my Star Trek action figures when you pry them from my cold dead fingers, asshole.

ThatOneBitch on July 20, 2012 at 5:24 PM

I have a Tardis USB hub. It makes the noise and everything. I love it dearly.

WHAT'S A 'REAL NERD'?

Graham on July 20, 2012 at 5:55 PM

@Graham: Exactly.

kay_b on July 20, 2012 at 6:57 PM

What's a real God Particle? No one has really SAID it existed.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 20, 2012 at 8:38 PM

I concur. It'a all about keepin' it REAL!

DamosA on July 20, 2012 at 11:00 PM

The "real nerds" are typically found in "real America." It's a magical place where each individual can identify themselves with a group and that group automatically becomes a perfectly homogenous mass of people exactly like the wisher! That way, no one has to deal with the idea that other people might like some of the things that you like, but not all of them. It's a wondrous land filled with all of the sharp divides and polarization that make everything great, without any of the complexity and overlapping ideals that just ruins everything. Everyone is either exactly like you, or they're the enemy! It's so easy! Yay!

To be a "real" nerd, you have to enjoy getting into the fine details, the really innards, of something. So there can totally be humanities nerds, art nerds, etc. But just "being dorky" doesn't cover it.

this thread is the most fascinating thing this side of waterboarding.

They found a particle that behaved similar to a Higgs bosom but haven't found the actual God Particle. That could mean that they found a type of god particle, but didn't fully fitted the specifications of the debated "God Particle", or a Higgs boson, yet.

Meaning that there could be many more nearly similar behaving god particles, or particles close to the Higgs bosom behavior. Am not a scientist, I just like this stuff, am pretty sure somebody here knows how it goes.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 21, 2012 at 8:46 PM

Stop calling it a freaking 'God particle.' it's the 'Goddamn particle' and Higgs didn't coin the nickname. A physicist named Lederman did but his publisher didn't want to offend people who are religious so it injected religion instead.

PFFT. You bunch of Doctor Who haters.

kay_b on July 22, 2012 at 6:45 PM

Tom Baker was the best Doctor Who.

chicostix on July 23, 2012 at 8:13 PM

He was a snazzy dresser. But a lot of the Doctors are snazzy dressers.

kay_b on July 24, 2012 at 5:14 PM

The best Doctor Who companion had to be Amy Pond.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 24, 2012 at 7:49 PM

Amy was okay (although definitely one of the most attractive of companions), but once you threw in her husband along with them it just went to shit. But that has more to do with douchebag Steven Moffatt ruining the show after Davies handed it to him.

David Tennant will always be my favorite Doctor. He was pure perfection.

kay_b on July 24, 2012 at 8:10 PM

You wish.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 24, 2012 at 11:11 PM

No Leaky, I don't have to wish. The things I stated are my opinions, therefore they are the truth in my mind. And I am perfectly content with my opinions.

kay_b on July 25, 2012 at 11:40 AM

you are still wishing.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 25, 2012 at 1:04 PM

You are still making no sense. What am I supposedly wishing?

kay_b on July 25, 2012 at 1:58 PM

How am I supposed to know, I am not your Psychiatrist.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 25, 2012 at 2:08 PM

Alright then.

kay_b on July 25, 2012 at 3:23 PM

OK Miss i don't make sense.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 25, 2012 at 3:50 PM

Sore loser.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 25, 2012 at 6:28 PM

Leaky -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR MOON LANGUAGE.

kay_b on July 25, 2012 at 9:29 PM

That's not my problem. -- Kay_B

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 26, 2012 at 12:02 AM

Nor is it mine. You have a fantastic day!

kay_b on July 26, 2012 at 10:17 AM

Hypocrite.

Leaky 2.0 oz The Avatar Slayer on July 26, 2012 at 1:33 PM

I wrote a screenplay called Hippo-crite. It's about a talking hippo that's also a total asshole. Late 90's teen idol Paul Walker is the voice of the hippo.
