Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don’t have to be like, ‘oh, that purse is okay’, or like ‘yeah, I like that band’s early stuff’. Nerds are allowed to LOVE stuff. Like, jump up and down in your chair, can’t control yourself LOVE IT. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff’. Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’
