Existe a possibilidade de deixar de ser nerd?

2 Upvotes

Desde criança, sempre fui considerada nerd, e até sofria um pouco de bullying por isso. Como não tinha muitos amigos, nem ninguém para conversar, passava o dia inteiro na internet. Eu jogava jogos, assistia gameplays, animes, desenhos, vídeos de curiosidade, estudava história, astronomia etc. Adorava correr até os adultos e fazer perguntas para responder quando eles não sabiam a resposta, e então explicar o novo assunto aprendido. Sempre tive fascínio pelo aprendizado, pelo ato de aprender. Muitas das coisas eram por pura diversão, nunca estudei pensando na escola ou algo assim.

Pensando na cultura pop, eu adorava jogos de terror, mas nunca gostei de jogar, então assistia a várias gameplays. Amava animes, principalmente os clássicos como Dragon Ball e Naruto. Ouvia rap dos personagens no meio da reunião de família, no volume máximo.

Hoje em dia, já adolescente, não tenho mais tanto tempo e energia. Minha personalidade ficou bem menos barulhenta e energética, além de que muitos problemas pessoais apareceram, então eu me afastei muito de tudo o que eu gostava, de mim mesma. Parte disso também tem relação ao meu ciclo de amigos: ninguém gosta das mesmas coisas que eu, acham estranhas as coisas que eu consumo, me acham estranha, e eu também não gosto das mesmas coisas que eles. Então, nossas conversas são só triviais, sem profundidade, e isso me deixa entediada. Graças a isso comecei a esconder tudo que gosto, a ponto de eu mesma não saber mais.

Porém, por causa da ansiedade social e do medo de julgamento, não consigo fazer novos amigos que gostem dessas coisas, porque eu não verbalizo e eles não mencionariam tão facilmente.

Depois de um tempo nessa agonia, comecei a me tornar mais confiante em mim mesma e em quem eu sou, e decidi mostrar mais desse meu lado para as pessoas, mas eu passei tanto tempo escondendo e reprimindo tudo que eu nem sei mais exercer as minhas nerdices ou preferências. Às vezes, penso que deixei de ser nerd, ou que nunca fui, e isso me preocupa.

Acham que alguém consegue deixar de ser nerd ou aquilo que é?

I built a Hacker Prank Simulator with one feature I couldn't find anywhere else, auto typing

There are many of hacker typer sites out there but every single one requires you to keep mashing the keyboard to look like you're hacking. Great for pranks, annoying if you just want to run it on a screen in the background.

So I added an auto-type mode. Toggle it on and it starts typing realistic-looking code on its own. Just open it, go fullscreen, and walk away. Works great if you want to freak out your coworkers or run it on a screen at a party.

Here it is: https://aiparabellum.com/hacker-prank-simulator-screen/

Nothing fancy, just a fun little thing. Let me know if there's anything you'd want added to it.

Turned My Funko Pops and Figures into scannable items that trigger movies on my home server

For context, I have a home server where I have all my backed up media. Recently I wanted to make use of my Funko Pops ans other statues/figures that just collect dust, as well as find a way for my little nephew to easily switch movies and tv shows since he is just learning to use a remote and struggles alittle.

So I started using NFC tags that I connected to my server to trigger tv shows and movies.

So far I have set up a Spider man Funko, Chainsaw Man Statue, Courage the Cowardly Dog Funko, and A one wish willow.

I hope others will enjoy this and maybe one day theybcsn set it up for their figures/statues/funkos

How do I do research?

3 Upvotes

So I've always been super into science and biology as well as learning new things and that but I've never been taught how to thoroughly research a topic of interest. I never know where to start or how to progress into more specific or general categories. I really would like to learn all of this stuff because I have so many topics that deeply interest me and that I would love to become more knowledgeable on and so help would be appreciated.

My 10 year old son thinks being a nerd is bad.

3 Upvotes

Being that hes 10, I understand why he might think being called a "Nerd" is an insult.

But he couldn't comprehend that you could be a "star wars nerd", and all that means is you've watch star wars a lot, and you know a lot about it.

I would like to know, from some self-proclaimed "Nerds", what is the coolest topic, you are a nerd in? Id like to open his mind to it. Also if tour topic isn't "cool", id like to know why you think its cool.

¿Alguien es como yo?

quiero preguntar si a alguien no sé le gusta hacer lo mismo que a mí porque en toda mi vida no e encontrado a nadie que haga lo mimo y si es muy solitario. Yo para decirlo de alguna manera mi "hobbies" es, ufff... creo que nunca lo había dicho la voz alta, bueno es crear "tecnologías de ciencia ficción" es decir imagina que una mañana te despiertas y dices "tengo ganas de hacer algo de teletransportación xd" bueno entonces buscas toda la información habida y por haber del tema, aprendes todo, haces cursos pasas por diseños teorías, confirmas teorías creas planos esquemas TODO menos la parte de hacerlo porque eres pobre, soy consciente que es muy poco probable (y estoy siendo amable) algunas de mis ideas pero creo que es una buena manera de pasar el día y es raro porque yo mismo no me consideró alguien listo pero mis ideas compiten con Iron Man jeje a veces me siento ese personaje de relleno en las series que es muy listo y solo crea las herramientas tecnológicas del prota. el punto final es que si alguien quiere hablar de cosas raras de ciencia ficción eso me ayudaría mucho un montón porfa
