This is a post because I don't have a lot of guy friends who are good with my tech stuff. In fact out of everyone I know, theres a few in uni and my dad and was wondering if anyone had any like.. opinions or ideas on nerdy stuff? Bit like the alcoholess alcohol post but with processors, comic books and other nerdy stuff? :)

Huh? Exactly what are you looking for?

Computer technician talk? Web codding? In-depth Star Trek/Star Wars analyzing? Something else? I do it all but I need a point of discussion in which I can jump in and expand(a post to start on. Example: "When do you think DDR4's are coming out?"). Please elaborate.

I can match up dialogue from the Lord of the Rings movies to where it actually appears in the books and descrbe the different contexts as well of the literary merits of the two different approaches...does that count as nerdy?

LOL I knew Zolrek would be all over this.

If your father really thought there were no tech savvy trans people he had no clue Zolrek existed. :P

You are in good hands. (Just follow him; he'll lead you to their hive...or headquarters....or whatever techs call it)

**leaving before I get crushed by an avalanche of motherboards and core processors.

added in: Oh wait!! I know. (I think I know) "the continuum" B) (oh well, at least I like the word :P )

Actually, you mean GDDR5....GDDR is not the same as DDR. It's based off of DDR3, though.

Well if you ignore the anime, comic books, video games, star wars/lord of the rings/star trek/xena/etc, and computer codding then I am a totally not nerdy guy. XD

Yeah... I occasionally go outside... :P

What codding languages do you know? Just website languages or do you program more then that? Please don't say HTML if you make websites...because then I'll know you fail code. Just say "XHTML" please. :blush:

Pfft. Basic HTML ... learned that in grade eight. XD So while I can make a pretty web page, that is hardily worth anyone's time. :P Though, I prefer just to have a program do that for me.

Imma fan of Javascript in general. Even though it can be boring at times.

All the basic old codes will eventually become incompatible with web browsers...in the future. The problem posed with this is it needs to be very slowly filtered out one by one..otherwise a lot of web pages would go down.

I do Javascript...and the only program I use to make things faster is dreamweavier when it comes to websites but it doesn't "make" anything for me...The programs that actually create webpages for you suck. I suppose when it comes to flash codding I use Adobe Flash but I don't like adding too much Flash to my websites and I don't make flash websites because we all already know how annoying those are.

Umm.... I'm only a semi-nerd. I know more about computers and tech stuff than the general population, but not enough to be a full-blown nerd.

I also know a lot about digital music that most people don't care about. For instance a 128kbps mp3 file vs. a FLAC file at 80% compression and 41kHz that is about 20MB for one song. Bitrates, formats and such.

Don't really do any coding or anything like that.

I'm more of a dork than a nerd though at heart :P

I'm pretty nerdy I guess. I love anime, comic books, old school super hero cartoons, quantum physics (well, science in general), and am a HUGE Star Trek and LOTR fanboy. I spend most of my time on the computer (especially on 4chan haha), am fairly tech-savvy, and have been in a robotics and chess club in high school.

Haha..I was just joking though. I suppose in some sense that could be true. You are who you are, really.

As beguiling as us nerds are(LOL I'm joking..), I'm not sure why you feel that way. It's just a very vague label for people whom act a certain way and that may or may not have similar "nerdy" interests. If you don't feel you belong under that category then find something else that suits you - maybe there isn't. I'm assuming at the moment you're looking for a label to "belong" to in order to consolidate your social identity. Keep in mind as well - even if you don't put yourself into that label doesn't mean you can't hang with people who do.

That is the best explanation of social categorizing iv ever heard :) I bow to you Zolrek! B)

I would have to say im a scifi/space/tech nerd. Big fan of all things gadgety, love star trek, star wars, etc. I am currently studying broadcast enginneering cos im not quite clever enough for actual physics and nasa, im going for satellite uplink engineering instead.. i looove space stuff lol i always wish id studied physics and chemistry in college instead of english and theatre studies. Social pressures and all that crap.. anyway im digressing..

I love lord of the rings, bit of a harry potter fan.. anyone here a fan of guillermo del toro movies? (i.e pans labyrinth, hell boy..) or tim burton? :blush:

      Trans Woman Murdered In Miami; Suspect In Custody

      By Susan R · Posted

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      Voting for Trump

      By EasyE · Posted

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
