I mean, alcohol is bad at its taste

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

Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.
- And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.
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?
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.
- Can we stop this "Introvert" BS? An "introvert" is someone who will tend to keep their thoughts to themselves. Nothing more. This "the extroverts are the sports guys and the introverts are the intellectuals" is completely made up and people will not like you more or less depending on wether you wear your heart on your tongue or not.

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.

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

You haven't played LoL, have you?
- I think I tried it out but discovered that I find MOBAs boring as hell.

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

I really don't care about party-goers.

How about internet party goers
- And how about lan-party goers?

If you’re not born rich, you’re a loser. There.

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.

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.
