trashbird1240 writes "Reports on a recent meta-analysis of bullies and victims found that bullies and victims have similar personality traits, but that bullies tend to do poorly in school, as opposed to those who get bullied. Both bullies and victims are poor social problem solvers, but they resort to different tactics to handle their social ineptitude. To me this represents a huge leap forward in understanding nerd psychology."

So basically, if you can't develop social skills you do what every other animal does: Become a predator. And if you fail at that, you're dinner.

No, I'm still mad that the jock who beat me up banged the girl who sat next to me who let me hold her comb. I protected that comb like it was a baby. I cleaned it, I bathed it, and she wouldn't go to prom with me!?!? Then I found out I went an all boys school... talk about awkward.
In other news... the sky is blue, and the sun is hot.

I'm confused. Is this good or bad?

Hey, they call us software pirates, right? Give the nerds flintlock pistols. This solves several problems:
a. They can defend themselves from jocks
b. They can't go on a rampage and massacre the school
c. They will have a realistic accessory for their pirate cosplay!
Somebody give fffungus a metal! And a handgun! :D

I think they call them "channel ops" or "moderators" depending on the context.

Yes. Let's make jokes about bullied kids bringing guns to school.
Because things have turned out so well when *that's* happened.

With any luck, the handgun will be metal.

No that would be opening the bra strap with her facing you. Popping the strap is generally considered clumsy, but a sign of someone who maybe spent his points everywhere but wis or dex.
