We didn't have an atomic bomb design that worked until July of 45. The Reich had folded two months earlier.

Because after we were done kicking their asses we rebuilt them into a nation second only to our own. If those damned Arabs would just give us the same chance…

I think I'd like to have old "Bombs Away" in command of our air assault on Afghanistan. We probably wouldn't be paying protection money on our supply trucks.

*looks down*
Nope.

She's like an average Chris Farley character who isn't pretending to be pathetic.

Sims, sometimes you just have to give something an F.

Do you think they had enough time to come up with a Manti Te'o sketch?

The nukes will be deployed against Beijing and D.C.

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus  I'm not approaching this from a perspective that sees you as a problem at all. I'm not even a nerd. What I am telling you is how and why this problem cropped up and why it's not going away any time soon. This isn't some all boys club you're dealing with, it's broken people who've retreated…

@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus  good for you; you're not suffering a personality disorder. I can give you solid odds that the people we're talking about are; and it's probably related to why they like the things they like.

Well even if you say that, it's not going to change the social guardedness of the type of nerds we're talking about. This is a deeply rooted attachment dysfunction and it's not going to go away. The more women intrude into their space the more disturbed they will become; not out of malice, but because they fear being…

Fuck. My favorite director.

Didn't it seem strange that they didn't think to warn anyone about 9-11?

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus I'm clearing you of suspicion because YOU DON'T STAND TO GAIN ANYTHING BUT ACCEPTANCE. The people banking on giving themselves the sheen of nerddom now that such a thing is cool have something to gain, and are therefore much more likely to be disingenuous.

No @avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus , it's mostly women who are being used as the tools of this takeover. Olivia Munn is another famous plastic nerd.

I think we got way off message here: no one said anything about YOU being fake; this is about tools of a media conspiracy being used to wrest control of the zeitgeist away from the nerds and into the hands of corporate marketing machines who make insufferable TV shows like King of The Nerds and pretend being really…

Obviously because they're weak-willed and unlikely to start a physical confronta- aw god damn it another school shooting? Lousy NRA.

Well @avclub-94e005c18b383d12a8924d5d1367610d:disqus the only thing I can liken it to is plastic hippies; they're into this shit because it's popular and it can get them somewhere. When it fades, they'll fade out and start doing something else. They're not in this thing for the long haul.

@avclub-e576423831e043f7928d9ac113abbe6f:disqus  pretty much. It comes down to the question of "You're not here to have sex with me, so why are you here?". Nobody got into comics to meet girls; they did it to win the money and adoration of their fellow loners.

@avclub-bca3531762af8a993c4f60c48fd5e33b:disqus I'm not going to deny that there exist women with an interest in the subculture; but this many is more than statistically predictable; this is straight-up herding behavior.
