All things are subjective but a nerd is a nerd. That's right. Today we are talking about nerds because like it or not we are stuck with them and they don't seem to be going anywhere. Do you know any nerds? Are you a nerd? Chances are if you're upset by the time you get to this sentence you're not a nerd. You're a dork and you can go somewhere and pout to yourself. This is a nerd post and that's what we are going to talk about in this one. I am a nerd, I have been one as long as I can remember.
Nerds are not what they used to be when I was growing up. They are way different today, they think they are cool. Chances are most of us are a little nerdy. Some of us are really nerdy and others who are not nerdy at all should be watched closely as something is just not quite right with them. Like my wife @imaginedragon she claims she is not a nerd but she is basically, if left on her own and you subtract me and our kids out of the equation......or is she?
She thinks just because she doesn't play the PS4 or xBox One with the kids and I, she is not nerdy like us. I feel bad trying to explain it to her, she is the biggest nerd out of all of us. She is in self denial. She will probably read this to the paragraph above this one and yell at me and tell me she is not, she is.
So anyway, what the hell am I even babbling about? I am using Sunday as my "Love a Nerd" day. Nerds should not be left in the dark hiding the fact they are nerds. It is a waste of time when one denies their true self to the world. It would be fun if other nerds would follow suit and embrace their rightful place with the real nerds. I only picked out one type of nerd to name today but there are many other types which I will cover later as the are all over steemit, all you have to do is look under the correct tag to find them. The tag I am referring to today is #gaming I picked 13 nerds (some new and some old) to highlight today but there are thousands here. Go show them some love and look at their other interests and check out their games as well.

I went to a high school for nerds. When your whole school is nerds, there becomes a spectrum. I wasn't D&D level. I was more "studies on Friday night" level. Owning it.
You may have passed beyond "nerdy" to geeky.
Now this is geek level humor:

I am looking for any excuse to give away my upvotes - give them or lose them.

I can't tell if you were replying to me or to the post by ET. But in general I think it a good idea to use your upvote to curate. There needs to be more people finding quality posts and voting for them to be rewarded on this platform.
In principle, I agree! However, time is limited and I cannot find enough posts to curate.
I have also posted asking people to give me a good reason to upvote and have received none to curate.
So, I look for comments to curate and upvote.
Well if you're asking, I think my latest post should interest you. I actually had a couple of witnesses upvote it, which definitely brought a smile to my face. I hope you enjoy reading it whether you think it merits your upvote or not. To me it is one of the most essential things for us all to learn, not just as an idea, but as a way of being.
Below is the post where I asked for post for me to curate:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@freedomshift/freely-given-upvotes-today-just-get-my-attention-with-your-post-here
Please comment there with any posts that you would like me to curate.
Doing so, helps others see it as an example and if you know anyone who could use the same free service ...
If this works, I will make it a weekly post.
All the best!
Got it. Cool. Will do.

There is a good post
Haha my hubby is a #nerd for many of the reasons you have stated above lol. As for me i didnt get upset so im not a dork and given im under the pretense that "dork" means a donkey or whales dick @trumpman im glad that i didnt lol. I am probably just as nerdy but in my own unique way. I often dance like no ones watching even if they are and i cant sing for shit but that wont stop me belting out a tune..
Oh this sounds like you need to be challenged to #openmic weekly with a dance session on dlive.io
I would never call anyone else but that one guy a donkey. @trumpman has been summoned now so a #dickpic should drop in here soon, lol
Haha I'd shame myself but it could be worth a laugh. Looking forward to @trumpman's enivitable #dickpic haha.

Can't we be both nerd and dork? I think I'm a little of both. My teammates @mellofello and @andykapps are definitely nerds, but they will never know I called them that since they haven't learned about Gina yet. ;)
Sometimes it's nice to embrace the quirky side within us. We all have one nerdy trait or another. Just like your wife, she must have at least 1% of nerdiness in her to fall in love with you, right?
Boy, I am so glad to have unfollowed the hundreds of people my teammates followed. I can actually pick up things in my feed besides memes and photo posts. Finally, some quality nerd post!
We can all be anything we want! That is the beauty of things.
My wife is a full blown nerd in denial.
Only follow those that make you smile or laugh or get mad. That is the only way to have a good feed going.
A good feed feeling is a must! For sure.
There was one person I had an intense conversation with, let's say we agreed to disagree. My teammate had followed him. Of course, I unfollowed immediately, but in hindsight, perhaps I shouldn't have done so. Afterall, the guy took the time to write a novel on his opinion, cared enough to reply back to get his point across, and is in fact, NOT a bot. Those alone are admirable traits. Oh well.
Yes, no matter how bad they piss you off a good conversation pro or con is always a plus. Sadly though a few of the bots around here hold a better conversation than some do, lol.
Lol, I did hear of some bots you can actually converse with. With every friendly banter back and forth, you earn an upvote. We must be bots too, of some sort. Who else would reward comments? ;)
No more comment rewarding! Lol, I've been trying to go MIA lately to build up my VP. You're killing me.
Comment rewards are so much better!
You do not need to up vote my replies, lol
They were comments well-deserved of an upvote. So much better than ‘great job’ or a ‘WOW, you are so talented. I followed you and resteemed you. In fact, I give you 100% of my upvote (which is less than .01)’. Saw this comment in a comment challenge.
Yes, I’ve seen the spam comments and the fake ones. Happy to upvote a real one. Except your last one. The upvote is in spirit though. 😉

@eveuncovered (69) ... 😍 ... ;-)
I was like wtf bro... you call me nerd on the regular... but then I realized gaming... therefore, exempt.
I may have to get a system just to play with you guys though, might be fun :D
@themarkymark just told me you can play with us from the PC via epicgames.com We are going to start pairing up as well.
Side note: every time I look at your inital image the Barbie girl song comes into my head.
Thanks a fucking lot, now I have it suck in my head. I am not even going to upvote this. No need to make anyone else get it stuck in their head. Remember sharing is caring but not when it is just mean!!!
Haha well what goes around comes around lol... You started it with little miss nerdy Barbie lol... so its only fair I share the love lol...
LOL, glad a nerdy barbie sparked your subconscious to undress her :P
Well, who wouldn't want to undress a librarian, don't they automatically have the naughty but nice reaction. I mean what is really behind those glasses lol...
What the hell is the address to your library? I, 100% don't want to undress any of the real world librarians I have ever seen!
I may live in a fantasy land lol.
Neeeeeerds!
Promoting nerds is how one gets the rabies. Trust me.
Did you mean rabies or was that a typo on babies?
I wrote rabies. You must have babies on your mind for some unknown reason.
No idea, still trying to figure out where babies come from. They are so cute.

Being nerdy is in fact the new super cool.
I had the same thought.

Keep up the good work and original content, everyone appreciates it!
#Neeeeerd Alert............. Smiles 😂😂😂😂
Looking forward to your other definitions of 'Neeeeerd'
Oh, I could start a whole new account and never run out of nerd topics, lol.
👍👍
You have to ask who is Nerdier . the one Nerd or the one who supports many Nerds . I suggest that the one who supports is the Nerdiest of the Nerds. They are just ashamed to let anyone know do to the Nerd stigma of the past .
Animal House started the movement but it could not overcome the stigma and brutal assault by mainstream jock money and bias media .
Animal house is a read everyone should do. I think you are talking about the movie though so I completely agree.
I am going to work with that list ... ;-)
uh oh - I am a geek and a nerd, but a good one.
I am giving away my upvotes so that they don't go to waste ... (see my post)
I don't think anyone cares about nerds anymore. Even the sporty people in my old school played video games.
Who cares if they played sports, still a gaming nerd.
