I wish I had done something with comp sci during college. But at the start of college I wasn't comfortable enough with myself to pursue a life of nerddom (my gf at the time was really trying to suppress my inner nerd). I thought it was kinda just a hobby sort of thing and that I should get a job doing "real things"

Fast forward 4 years and I wish I had more of a focus in computers.


Beautiful thing about programming is you can always learn.

Also this:

(my gf at the time was really trying to suppress my inner nerd)


Always sad to hear about. Advice to those not in relationships or in ones that feel like this: this is bad and unhealthy. It sucks. Even if two people in a relationship can't agree on hobbies, there should at least be respect. For example, my friend's gf refers to the place where he keeps his gaming stuff as the "shame shelf." T_T hate that shit.

>_<


Yes, but while I enjoy programming, I'm also fairly bad at it. I understand it and how to do it, but I lack some creativity I think. (I got a 1 on my AP Comp Sci exam in high school) Maybe my issue is that I just don't study xD

And yes, my current gf is much better for me. She understands that I've got my nerd shit. She doesn't judge me (too much) when I tell her I'm going away for a weekend of magic/DnD. She lets me do my thing. It's really refreshing to be allowed to do what I want.


Yayyyy. Yeah, sorry to pull out the PSA from a parenthetical in your post, but nerd shaming is one of those things that makes me fucking nuts. Glad to hear you don't have to deal with that crap anymore.

Listen to you wierdos with your happy careers, and outside activities, and real relationships. I miss the old internet, where everyone was a bitter, lonely nerd who came together to be pissed at the real world.

Humbug.

Don't worry, I have lots of great stuff and I'm still bitter and pissed at the real world. Just for different reasons.

That seems to be a fairly exhaustive list.

I need to get a kitty.

I love dogs. But dogs require walks, and taking care of.

Cats? Put out food, clean the litter box. Job done.
