Typing “Hell” in the iPhone weather app yields this result. Ah, easter eggs.

Let’s not forget that PLENTY of definite nerds are assholes. Ask my ex-boyfriend, a D&D playing, Magic the Gathering-loving, Otakon-attending card-carrying NERD who verbally abused me and propositioned my best girl friend in a sleazy hotel room. (She refused, and is still my very best girl friend.)

Nerds can be assholes just like anyone else, women. Saving throws don’t save you from douchebaggery. Programming computers doesn’t mean you’re programmed to be a good boyfriend.

I actually wrote a piece on the fallacy that nerds make the “best” boyfriends. It was originally written for an online magazine but maybe I”ll dust it off and pitch it somewhere else.

First, I cut the content… follow the poster names to follow the conversation.

Second, disclosure upfront: I manage a team of around 40, both female and male nerds.

Third and last but not least: there’s just too much i this whole conversation to… bash.
Nerds are a special kind, read both RandsinRepose Nerd Handbook and his Nerd In a Cave.

Sure these are stereotypes, but as is typical with stereotypes they are based on major observations.

Nerds are sensible. when they think their time to play D&D has come, you MUST give them their space or they might/will snap at you.
Nerds are protective of their own biotope. They might/will snap at you otherwise.

Nerds surely also can be assholes. What would exclude them from this privilege? That they are damn funny?
They aren’t. They’re smart, they’re damn smart and once they come under steam their thoughts and thinking patterns will crush any comparison with how most non-nerds think. But do.not.interrupt.their.flow.

It might not be fucking funny.
Nerds are limited in their social patterns. Limited if you compare them to people you meet at the bar.

But they won’t beat you up. And yes, they can be assholes as well.

Just think back of the history of the internet. Think back of the (former) Usenet and flamewars. Visit nerd boards and admire the exposed hate.

Still they are cute… and I don’t just say that because my g/f is a bigger nerd than I am. ;)

new york?

jessicagoldharalson:

A weird query for Tumblr:

I’m going to do job interviews in NYC pretty soon.

I have nowhere to stay (except for a few of those days, and I don’t want to wear out my welcome with said friend).

If you are not an axe murderer or some creepy pedo-person, could I stay with you?

It would be super fun and I am not a bad guest and I don’t smell and I’d totally take you to dinner. Also you wouldn’t need to show me any cheesy shit, I just need somewhere to stay for a job interview, not like a tour of Central Park or something (unless you want to.)

If you are not Creepy at all and wouldn’t mind hosting me for a day or two, drop me a line: jgh at sas dot upenn dot edu.

Thanks!

Probably it would be the roughest about feminism interview you’d ever experience.
About feminism as in can you still be honest with yourself and love a guy?

But I live on the old continent, not in the US. :/

Regarding the whole Tumblettes thing:

The truth is I just want a list called Tumbldcks.

The only disturbing thing… darn, franGRy, franKy, too darn close. Still, can I apply to be a tumbldck? I’ll do my best to behave as a dck.

keepinganotebook:

Does anyone else find this a little demeaning/condescending in an ‘aw cute, women have thoughts too’ kind of way? And that from what I could tell 2 of the 24 staff picks were women? Or am I just being overly sensitive again and it’s actually good that they are recognizing women tumlrs? At least they didn’t make it pink.

Tumlrs ???

“While nobody would argue that things have not changed radically, there are plenty of dubious traditions that remain prevalent - stag dos with strippers; the bride being “given away”; the speeches being made by men; the woman giving up her name.”

- For whom the bells toll (via gauntlet)
I think the woman keeping her name first in a double name is the way to go. She can decide to stick to her name when things go wrong, or not. Never ever should she give up her maiden’s name.
The (d)emancipated man will gladly put his name second.
