*delicious food trigger warnings*

My latest chili has:

beef
diced tomatoes
red kidney beans
black beans
lentils
corn
mushrooms
black olives
spinach

I'm am certain every one of you hates something in my chili. I say, GOOD! More for me.

Alas, I didn't bring it to work. So I am hungry just thinking about my chili in the fridge.

"a real nerd is ashamed to be called a nerd"

I disagree with the sentiment here. My first instinct is to go, "YEAH! Fuck you, poseurs". But then I realize "nerdy" things aren't inherently exclusive.

I admit it bothered me when people who made fun of my taste of music ("Rem? what the fuck is a rem, fagit?") changed their minds later. But at least I can be smug that I was right?

John Scalzi always makes a decent point

But you know what? I'm a shitty geek/nerd/whatever. I don't play video games. I only know comic books in passing. I install operating systems as a hobby and watch a shitload of TV. While I watch Venture Bros, I am trying to learn LISP, Latin, and trying to understand Kierkegaard. I know nothing of sports. I have zero social cred. Fuck me, right?

I'm usually better at ranting.

EDIT

I'm also reading Pema Chödrön, but I didn't mention it because she's a friend of Oprah.
