Is this divisive jock/preppy/nerd/skater/gangsta shit still going on 23 years after I left high school? I thought y'all zoomers were better than that.

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 20 points 1 year ago

Actually not. You can be a massive nerd these days and still go get fucked up and party.

There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.

A false dichotomy created by pop culture to divide teenagers into cliques.

I was the Internet/Gamer kid raised by television who got drunk at 17 and fell off a roof. Why was I drunk on a roof? Fuckin' 2001.

Not sure which category I fall under.

[–] platysalty@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah lol. I was an internet troll through and through, and somehow found my way into a pretty diverse group in uni.

I don't even want to start on the drunk shenanigans we got up to.

I lived in terraced housing and I used to walk across the steep rooftop of my house down to the neighbors. At the time I thought I was being cool, like my hero, Daredevil. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculously dangerous.

I lament the loss of quite a few of my parallel selves.

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

I really don't care about party-goers.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How about internet party goers

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And how about lan-party goers?

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

You haven't played LoL, have you?

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I tried it out but discovered that I find MOBAs boring as hell.

[–] ursakhiin 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's good. Otherwise, you'd probably have cancer.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't know if I did: I'm American, can't afford a doctor.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 year ago

Oh no, I was in the first group (for 3/4 of high school) and I definitely thought that I was a loser.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Spoiler alert...

They both suck

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I'm about to blaze up and jump into this Tarkov wipe with the boys. The fuck is this.

[–] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Bruh this meme is so stale could clobber someone to death with it

[–] gamarus@lemmy.cat 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm part of the two, am I special? 🙊

[–] Driftking@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I am into sports and making money
