"Geeks" are compulsive consumers. They (we) emotionally invest in corporate intellectual property and offer near guaranteed sales. They voluntarily promote and market products for ownership and compete for status by consuming. Geek culture took over because marketers saw an opportunity and actively promulgated it.
That's my intellectual complaint. My real complaint is that it got lazy and now seems to just recycle Generation X's childhood over and over again.
some of you may be asking, "harp, why would you write artoo deetoo as a hideous little troll?"
and to that i say:

so i was talking with ppl about a dnd party composed entirely of bards, and the campaign is basically just a rock opera. why not be a band?
anyway then we got thinking about your options for instrument choices, whether you wanna be a rock band, a marching band, a medieval style band, etc., and i think i came up with my favorite band concept ever
just like, four people who are all doing a different "one man band" schtick
Good morning Fediverse! My solidarity is going out to all people who cannot participate in today's #climatestrike. People who are physically or mentally unable to participate, people who are bound by (paid or unpaid) care work, people who are unable to travel to the next strike location, and all others. Being able to attend a strike is a privilege, and nobody should be shamed for not having it.
a bug, not a feature.
