      There’s nerd and then there’s Thanos grindset nerd. I do not acknowledge the latter as being a true subset of the former.

      Edit: It was bothering me so I have to point out that I’m making a No True Scotsman Fallacy here. This does not change my statement.

        No. Grindset nerds are a cancer that must be excised for the health of the community.

        Like the kind of nerd that would let autocorrect replace excised with exercised.

          I agree with you, but I can’t recognize that I’m using a fallacy and then let it go undisclosed. I’m that kind of nerd… But yes, burn them out of the community with fire or empathy, whichever strategy works fastest.
