    I don't know all the details, but keep in mind that some people go to College to learn. I wouldn't appreciate you mocking me for my below average understanding of math, I believe he wouldn't appreciate you mocking his poor geographical knowledge.

    No, but I am designing my own cartridge that enhances the gameboy in a way NEVER BEFORE DONE... BEFORE!

I may just send away for that next.

    That's super cool that you're doing some never before done before shit. Doesn't mean I understand that thing at all. I followed that link the first time you posted it.

    When Kayti tried getting me to watch it with her I found that I didn't hate it until they took the main girl and totally changed her character a few episodes in. I could deal with the dumbed down, and in most cases incorrect nerd stereotypes, but that was the last straw for some reason.
    I don't mind the show. I'll watch it if it's on, and sometimes I'll marathon a few episodes if I'm in the mood, but I don't actively seek it out. I like the interactions between the characters and the general story that they're trying to tell, but I dislike how they try and pigeonhole everything into having a "nerd culture" explanation. I also dislike how each character is presented as an idiot. Sheldon can't understand people who aren't him, Raj can't function around girls, Howard is a caricature of a "horny nerd," and Leonard is supposed to be the "everyman" in the middle that solidifies everyone, but he really just comes across as a whiny "friend zoned" dweep. Penny was interesting for the first bit, but then she turned into "hurr durr party girl who can't math past potato" and they turned her into a walking stereotype of "dumb blonde."

    I find Raj and Howard's relationship funny (two good friends who are a little too friendly), I find Leonard and Penny's relationship interesting (two friends with a complicated past trying to make life work who are always in different places romantically), and if you view Sheldon as a 17-18 year old who first starts to have friends and relationships when he's in college and doesn't know what to do, him and Amy are really interesting as well. My problem with the show (and I think a lot of people's problems with the show) is that you have four/five extremely intelligent people who apparently can't figure out how to function on their own (yet somehow made it through 4+ years of university just fine), and someone (Penny) is portrayed as so "dumb" that it's amazing she can remember the PIN for her bank card.

    The nerd culture stuff is just filler to give them an identity, but they dumb the identity down to something that everyone (your grandma, mother, cheerleader sister, jock brother, etc) can understand: comic books are awesome, we love science, video games are rad, etc, and continue to enforce the stereotype that nerds are dysfunctional dorks.

    I'm ranting now. I like the way the characters interact and the stories that they represent, but I dislike the characters themselves.

    totally serious note, never seen pre cum in my life. Maybe I just don't do it. Or I have horribly incorrect ideas about what it is.

    Raj is the Indian dude who can't talk to girls
    Howard is the Jewish engineer who works with robots and lives with his mother

    The character stories are actually really interesting when you dig into them, but the fact that you have to dig kind of loses its appeal after a while.

    Most likely just have a different expectation of what it is. Then again, everyone's different. I sometimes wonder if there are things on my body that would make other people go "well shit, that ain't right." And I mean things besides my giant testicle.

    I think college students should already know that Africa and Asia aren't countries

    I should have phrased my post better. I know technically who they are. I figured Raj was the Indian dude, and that howard was the other one I couldn't remember the name of. I made it up the episode where they play some MMO (I think? It's the only one I remember properly) and they were in it. I just don't know anything about their characters or anything.
