I just spent a chunk of the afternoon watching 5-7 min videos of people from the different areas of Denmark talking about themselves and their region, to highlight the different dialects of Danish (a lot of them moaning about how they are looked down upon by people from Sjælland / Copenhagen).

When I was at school (a long time ago now) I sought validation by trying to hang out with the in crowd. Only now, many years later I realise that deep down I am a nerd and should have been out and proud (so to speak!)

So where would you put yourself on the scale?

There is an incorrect association in the choices between nerd and sci-fi/IT

You can be an IT nerd and/or a sci-fi nerd BUT you can be a nerd with zero interest in either.
I think you have outed yourself as a nerd with that post.

I do know that nerds and IT/Sci-Fi are not synonymous but I was trying to be humorous with the choices.
