Comment Snowball animal farm Snowden from reality (Score 3, Insightful) 504

Does this just seem like the heaviest kind of propaganda on how bad snowden is. the whole thing is just emphasizing how 'horrible' he is and making no mention of how unacceptable Almost all NSA actions are. Its when I post to these articles that I wonder how much slashdot articles get red flagged.

90's child : 35 now : one foot in one out of the internet age. If this was 20 years ago I'd give this guys story a lot of credit. I'm curious how a 18 year old now views it. It seems to me that the new generation has plenty of socially awkward programmers and a good number of confident people programming. As someone that spent all his high school time getting laid, I don't think you'll find anyone that is a great programmer and popular as both take a lions share of time to develop. And learning to be cool at 22 isn't the same as 16. But, same goes for coding.

We are geeks. There's something wrong in our minds that makes us happy spending time typing on a keyboard rather than chasing women.

What a ridiculous negative stereotype. Just because you spent your teens and early 20's behind a keyboard doesn't mean that the rest of us were socially awkward introverted weirdos.

I found plenty of time for girls. I suspect many other "geeks" did as well. It was not an either-or scenario.

What you really want to say is "I had a crummy adolescence, but it's only because I was super-smart!" Which is ... very sad.

Stop spreading that ridiculous myth! Back to your parents basement with you!
