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.

Aw, I thought you were talking about "Dance Dance Revolution" when you mentioned DDR. =(

No.

DDR aka DDR SDRAM

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.

:lol:

I knew you were :P

Still wish that I could classify myself as a nerd :P

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:

      Isn't it illegal to be examining people's genitals without their consent?    Could've sworn that was some sort of law already.

      Oddly i often feel i pass but then bump into someone who reads my past attempts at maleness.    Last week at the market a man spoke me as i went back to my car.  I heard "You are beautiful"!  Odd!!!!!  Then he said something about marriage and i started to get worried.  Turned out he is married to a trans woman.  He was sweet and probably is tuned to trans folks but it was a bit disquieting.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I decided to power wash our back porch and the porch furniture so the uniform of the day is a skort, t-shirt over a sports bra and flip flops with my hair pulled back into a ponytail.

      It's been touched on in another thread, the perception that the folks who scream loudest in favor of free speech are also the loudest in wanting to stifle the freedom of people not like themselves.

      I wonder if the LGBTQI+ umbrella should be split? Create separate entities for LGB and TQI+ folk?    I have no doubt that some cis het people probably think that sexuality and gender identity are the same thing, for whatever the reason, not necessarily willful ignorance. It would be natural for such people to observe that both LGB and T folk are under the same umbrella, so they must be the same, right?   Just as (and I know I'm making some pretty big assumptions in this post) some cis gay folk would think that the LBGTQI+ umbrella is pie - give trans people a slice, and somehow, they will miss out. Just like cis het folk might also think that their lives are somehow being diminished by allowing trans people to have basic human rights.

      Some anxiety is building up inside.
    • Heather Shay
      Suppressing your emotions because you’re afraid of them can be bad for your physical and mental health. Here’s what to do instead. When a toddler feels a “big” emotion, like anger or sadness, they tend to have a big tantrum on the floor. And these tantrums can be a lot to observe, full of thrashing, screaming, and tears. But a child reacts like this because the emotion they’re feeling is uncomfortable, maybe even painful.   Of course, as adults, we feel emotions too, and those feelings can be just as overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even painful as they were when we were children, even if we don’t let ourselves react in such a big way. But, sometimes, in our attempts to not give in to our emotions, we go too far: we run from them or suppress them — even if that harms us in the long run. Although there are many reasons we might suppress our emotions, one of them is that we are afraid of our emotions. Fear of emotions is called “animotophobia. It is not an official term in the DSM-5-TR. Still, fearing your emotions can have a significant impact on your well-being.

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?   I sing, write songs, play guitar, bass, harp. It is my sanctuary.
