I know it's an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I've always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I've always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We've gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn't mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?

Honestly, I'm kinda afraid to think about it. There's a nonzero chance I have no in-depth nerdery. Aside from introspection, I'm not sure there's anything I really can consider myself knowledgable about. At least more than anyone who takes a cursory interest in anything.

What you choose to do, is more important than what you have a natural ability to do.

Because the thing you choose to do, you will eventually master them.

Real. I guess you could say you're a you nerd?

Welp, this hits too close to home. The combination of parental abuse, obession with psychology(partially cause by said abuse) and having no friends or going outside depression, plus being inside all the time,daydreaming has led to be having an ungodly understanding of myself and general human behavior.

Is it good? Well, depends on the situation, in my case, its more like a moderm man being totured with electricity, knowing how that works and knowing why are being tortured and where you are and who are your capture, as opposed to being a caveman and having no idea what the fuck is going. In short, it's not much of use to me
