Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.
And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.
Hell yeah.
Imagine not cracking a beer while playing Vidya Games.

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.
hello, I'm a 2020 hs graduate, I'm probably in the zoomer category. from my experience, this does not exist outside of movies.
Man what was 2020 graduation like?
fun /s
I mean, as a nerd with no interest in prom, it wasn't all bad. My hs has us still do graduation almost as normal (masks and spacing, ofc), with the only major difference being that it was split across multiple days so we could fit everyone on the front lawn.
The fact that they had to do the speeches six times was the only reason I was slightly glad to have missed out on being valedictorian/salutorian
Sounds like a pain in the ass

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

This would have been maybe edgy or interesting 20 years ago
Having been a teenager approximately 20 years ago, no this wouldn't. We partied and went out, and played video games and surfed the net back then too.
Eh. I grew up in a football town. There was definitely a dichotomy between the popular kids and the "nerds" back when the term was only used as an insult. I think people have to remember their local experiences are only indicative of their locale, not the world at large. The same likely applies here. Won't be true for everyone, so the post is at least wrong in that regard, but the person who made it probably just didn't consider their experience is the same as everyone else's either.

Based on just browsing social media, this would be more accurate if it were stated as a spectrum and the two extremes hate each other. That would explain the posts in the recent past of people complaining about "normies" (unironically) joining Lemmy.

I was actually both . I was in the robotics club and programming/ gaming on my free time. Then on the weekends I was out drinking and hanging with a completely different set of friends.
The double loser? Gaming and having friends must have been painful to live through.
In the 90s it wasn't a problem to do both, so I became a double loser.
I'm about to blaze up and jump into this Tarkov wipe with the boys. The fuck is this.
Me, dropping into DMZ with a single plate carrier, a throwing knife, my vape, and a DREAM.
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.

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.
I really don't care about party-goers.
How about internet party goers
And how about lan-party goers?
Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days
Oh no, I was in the first group (for 3/4 of high school) and I definitely thought that I was a loser.
If you’re not born rich, you’re a loser. There.
I was both of these as a teen and basically still am. I'm also a confirmed loser so this meme checks out!
Same except for the still am part.
Spoiler alert...
They both suck
Bruh this meme is so stale could clobber someone to death with it
I'm part of the two, am I special? 🙊
no
fuck
