Did you bother opening the link? This project is clearly much more elaborate than simply synchronising notes.

Oh I didn't mean to criticize your use of the word, I was more commenting on how the word has evolved :P

I wasn't sure if I agreed with your assessment of the different receptions for Fight Club and American Horror X (seeing as I haven't really encountered enough Nazis talking about the film to form an opinion) but "AHX was only seen as an endorsement by people who didn’t need converting" makes quite a lot of sense.

You mentioned documentaries, are there any in particular you'd recommend? I'd be curious to see any parallels or differences there are between neo-Nazi punk culture and the current era "alt-right" or whatever they call themselves lately.

I know it's a valid use of the word by its definition, but "marginalized" is so associated with oppressed minority groups in my head that I definitely did a double take at seeing Nazis described as such.

Why should anyone trust you to run a VPN for them? How would we know you're not a malicious actor?

I hadn't heard about this so I did a quick web search to read up on the topic.

Holy fuck, they named their war AI "The Gospel"??!! That's supervillain-in-a-crappy-movie shit. How anyone can see Israel in a positive light throughout this conflict stuns me.

"Faggot" isn't a slur? Someone should tell all the homophobes who've yelled it at me over the years, they'd be devastated.

My goal was not to bring anyone down or to make myself feel superior, but to cause reflection on how the things they say can affect people. How would you suggest I should approach this in the future?

I'm not particularly annoyed by the original post, I was just trying to be helpful and answer the question the other commenter had. Even then, this community is named "mildly infuriating" , you'd think being annoyed would be kinda the baseline.

I will admit I'm a bit annoyed by your tone and approach to conversation, which is probably why my last comment was a bit snarky. I do apologize for that. However, I honestly don't have the energy to deal with people initiating a discussion with immediate aggression, especially when they decide to read things into my comments that aren't there. You should try engaging in good-faith conversation sometime, it's a lot less exhausting than jumping at people's throats.

I wrote basically the same thing before seeing your comment. Stay safe, hope you keep the rubber side down.

(I'd hope for safe bike infrastructure but I don't believe in Santa anymore.)

My main mode of transportation is a bicycle and I live in North America. I will likely die spread out on the asphalt when someone runs me over with their oversized SUV/truck after they blow through an intersection out of turn while on a Facetime call.

No amount of defensive riding will protect you against that, unfortunately.

I'm bitching? About people who can't do math? That's news to me. Thank god you were there to tell me!

Both definitions of nerd have co-existed for decades now. "Nerd" on its own is used as you described, a person devoted to intellectual, academic, or technical pursuits or interests.

However, if you scroll down a bit, you'll see:

also : a person preoccupied with or devoted to a particular activity or field of interest

So a "something" nerd, e.g. a theatre nerd, Star Wars nerd, or what have you, is distinct from using "nerd" on its own. Both definitions are equally valid and widely-understood.

Linguistic prescriptivism is lame #DescriptivistGang😎

You're pretty on the money there, at least if you live in an area with poor infrastructure. I can't go outside without feeling a bit of dispair for how my city is built for cars rather than people. Car-centricity is everywhere I look.
