"Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff- like, jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is 'you like stuff' which is not a good insult at all. It's like saying, 'you're too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'."
