I (M-stack overflow) will sometimes just buy the toys. Captain Snuggles and Iron Man are staring across my desk at me right now.

M-stack overflow

Thank you for giving me a chuckle.

Was in Tokyo a few months ago and came across an exhibit area featuring Macross/Robotech "toys". My boys were kinda perplexed why I was speed walking/bee-lining to the entrance. When we got to the entrance, a collective "Whoa!" came out of our mouths.

I miss the days of Big Bang Theory when being geeky/nerdy and socially awkward is cool.

The big bang theory was laughing at us, not with us. The god awful dnd episode with the ERP proved that

Community's DnD episode was bad enough. I can't imagine what big bang did to that poor TTRPG

Best DND episode on a show that mocked us was IT Crowd’s.

“John 2, you’re a wood fairy.”

Silicon Valley was the good stuff. Made fun of us a bit, but at least the jokes were researched. I've been gay for people's code.

You're free to think that.

Having the main characters earn a Noble prize, be an astronaut, find love, and overcome their insecurities doesn't appear to be a mockery to me or many others.

Not being able to find humor in the eccentricities makes for thin skin and everything being a threat or offense.
