The bouncers won’t let them in because they would harsh the vibe :)

I watched several groups of “tech nerds” get rejected from night clubs in the Bay Area after the huggingface open source meetup.

It doesn’t matter how much money you give to them, society think they’re still ugly, four eyes, nerds who deserve to be shoved in lockers. Remember that the only reason high functioning autists weren’t murdered by the nazis was dr.Hans Asperger intervening to convince the German high command that they can build rockets.

Look to how the internet uses “sperg” as a pejorative similar to intel. Forcing a neurotypical to listen to your “*tism” rant makes them literally want to murder you. Resentment against tech workers with money is off the charts in trump voting America. Ungrateful to say the least…

  • Not sure what the connection is, what's stopping tech nerds from putting effort into their appearance like everyone else does to get into a club?

      For those who put the effort, nothing will stop them, and they will be more than welcome. The idea is to filter out the smug ones who think they are higher human beings who don’t need to conform to the norms of such places like everyone else, and putting any effort toward such “intellectually plebian” entertainment is beyond them. So everything is kinda working as intended.
