The nation's nerds woke up in a utopia this morning, one where everyone stays inside, sporting events are being canceled, and all social interaction is forbidden.
All types of nerds, from social introverts to hardcore PC gamers, welcomed the dawn of this new era, privately from their own homes.
"I have been waiting my whole life for this moment," said Ned Pendleton, 32 -- via text message, of course -- as he fired up League of Legends on his beefy gaming PC. "They told me to take up a sport and that the kids playing basketball and stuff were gonna be way more successful than us nerds who played Counter-Strike at LAN parties every weekend."
Always look on the bright side of life.

Keep your weapon within arms reach like they do in the military. It only takes one hungry urban youth to try and steal something from the old rayciss down the way.

I'm staring into my crystal ball, I see you in a little booth marking a piece of paper. You chuckle to yourself, knock over the back wall with a sudden extended gesture, and put a mark next to the big Turd.
You can tell a Trump voter by the level of stupid they let escape from their head.

You're a fucking bigot if you don't let robbers break in to your home and take your food.

Healthy people have been brawling over toilet paper this week. No way would starving people invade homes to steal food!
Ok libtard. Remember to leave your doors unlocked.
