@thefishcrow *gladly accepts* Orc hugs are good~ :3
Goddammit, that's so annoying.
Yeah I tend not to play around with things I'm not already familiar with in public spaces for this reason.
Which is just like... so frustrating and obnoxious. Like I can't mess around and make mistakes in public without getting bothered by some smug dudebro.
I fucking haaaate it
Work +
Is it weird that I'm really enjoying my required work training?
It feels nice to be a student again for a bit. Also to get plenty of in-field opportunities to use my new skills.
It's really exciting because ABA is an oddly perfect combination of what I learned in psychology & anthropology at Davis. Lots of data collection & scientific inquiry, but on the other hand I'm being paid to be goofy and play with kiddos. It's great!
about nerd subculture
I really hate the idea of nerd-dom as a monoculture. If you're a nerd, *clearly* you like Star Wars, GoT, Dark Souls, Doctor Who, bacon, etc; of course you're some sort of tech sector type. (No books. Nerddom apparently doesn't include being a fan of Moorcock, McCaffery, LeGuin or whoever, 'cause there isn't a Foundation or Pern TV series yet.)
Ready Player One really seems to exemplify the monoculture. It feels like an ill defined identity reworked as a marketing scheme.
