Politically motivated violence thread

[spencer rifle]

Politically motivated violence by nerds:

"My vorpal blade is +4 against chaotic evil, so Hitler wouldn't have had a chance (except his saving throw)."

I think Hitler is more like lawful evil.

Welcome to geekville.

 

[Brad69]

I believe that’s D&D geekdom?

T.Lex rolled a 1 on his geekiness check.

I think they are geeks, not nerds.

this is an important distinction. Nerds are necessarily socially awkward. However, geeks are people who are obsessively interested in something and have an atypical depth of knowledge in the area of interest. They may or may not be socially awkward. Sometimes they are cool. I’m not saying T.Lex is cool. For all I know, he may be a nerd.

As a mere mortal I find no such place in your geekdom.

Are geeks the same thing as wonks?

Wonks are a geek subcategory. They’re usually hyper focused on some political policy matter. I suspect that along with being a geek, T.Lex is also a wonk. And I’m almost certain he would take that as a complement either way.

T. Lex. The Man. The Polymath.

Get a room

 

[T.Lex]

I have even described myself as a policy wonk, so I see that more as an observation rather than a compliment.

And my cigar is bigger.

I thought wonk was a subset of wank, both are prone to unhealthy obsessions

Authorities in Southern California say a supporter of Donald Trump was arrested after spraying bear repellent on a small crowd protesting the president at the Santa Monica Pier.

Good. If he committed a crime then arrest him. Now go and round up some more Antifa creeps.

I guess the system still works, good to know.

Only if you’re a trump supporter. If this were antifa they would have been told to stand down.

 

[Doug]

Only if you’re a trump supporter. If this were antifa they would have been told to stand down.

You only say that because it has happened before.

 

[Hatin Since 87]

You only say that because it has happened before.

And sadly enough, it will again.
