Edit: What do you judge them for?
Police uniform.
MAGA hats, swastika tattoos
I threw away my Adidas hat immediately because it was red. Couldn’t even bare people assuming what it said, fuck that side.
Lifted trucks are sus, especially if they have balls hanging on the back.
MAGA gear or by association those stupid shirts, hats, and stickers that say “F your feelings” or “we the people have had enough” etc. most people I work and live around that’s there basic fashion and culture.
Being Religious.
Truth. I’m sorry that I’m only allowed one up-vote.
Back the Blue
Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.
I agree with you for what it’s worth, but sometimes it isn’t the logo but the quality of the clothing. Nike shirt ain’t that.
Basically the only thing that really bothers me is a lack of epistemological humility, people pretending their views are objectively true.
Cybertrucks
Ugh, yes. Seriously, Elon aside, what kinda GIGA-DOUCHE does a person have to be, to see that thing and think “Wow! I must have one!”
Big lifted truck with spacers, no tow hitch, and a perfect unlined bed. Why the fuck do you have a big shiny truck and flake on your promise to help your friend move because you don’t want to scratch your precious unlined bed. I’ve had more luck asking a rando with a squarebody Chevy and made an even better better friend.
It’s not judgement so much as a red flag, but those sunglasses that are like a solid cylinder wrapping around your head. They’re popular with manosphere dudebros, which is unfortunate because I actually kind of like them.
Lifted pickups that I know cost more than a modest house. It’s the same as buying a sports car, except you’re also posing as a humble working man simultaneously.
Pit Viper glasses. Gas station boner pills to wear on your face.
Nah, they’re cool. Anyone that tells the manosphere to fuck all the way off is cool by me.
I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they’re cool.
In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn’t have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We’d have people bucking rivets and I’d walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.My site manager didn’t like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn’t wear them. I said, “Motherfucker, they’re finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No.”
This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.That’s extra dope. Shit, I should look for safety-rated sunglasses that don’t make people think I’m too homophobic to touch my own ass. They must exist, right?
Really really long fake nails. Less judgement and more confusion I suppose. How do you do normal everyday activities?? I’m baffled
it takes getting used to for sure. it affects how you type, prepare meals, rummage around in bags, put in contact lenses and/or remove eyelashes/etc. from your eyes, and yes, how you hold the TP when you wipe.
it’s a hobby and/or fashion statement, and like many of those it has tradeoffs lol. for me long nails was a job requirement (adult entertainment) that turned into a hobby (i learned to do my own because it eliminated salon costs, then found I enjoyed it artistically)
my sister wears these and i guess all i can say to your question is “very carefully.” she gets ones with cool designs on them so i guess i understand the hype, would never personally wear em tho. cant even stand normal nail polish on my nails cuz i get the urge to peel them off immediately :(
A MAGA hat. I judge them for MAGA.
I no longer wear red clothes because I don’t want to be lumped in with maga assholes.
Cigarette smokers. Mostly because I hate the smell and smokers have their sense of smell damaged so much they don’t notice. And sometimes when it sticks to their clothing I just can’t be around them at all.
I also dislike the smell, but I’m a lot more sympathetic to tobacco use than I used to be because stimulants help to correct low executive function and these people are probably managing their disability the only way they know how.
dude holy shit. that actually explains so much about the smokers in my life. they never got the kind of help they needed because when they needed help people just thought they were lazy/stupid. i bet thats where a lot of their negative self talk stems from too. thanks for the new perspective.
Worked with a guy that was a heavy smoker. When the first winter came around I didn’t have a good spot to put my jacket. He had a 2 hook cubicle-wall-hang style coat hook. He moved it between our cubicles so I could use it too. I used it once. My jacket reeked at the end of the day.
Arc’teryx (hardshell) jackets.
If you’re walking around downtown you don’t need it. If you actually needed it you wouldn’t be wearing your expensive gear downtown.
Agree to some extent, but a counterpoint; some of us who do need them spend a lot of time doing the adventure things and less time making money, so not enough means or care to have nice normal or urban clothes on top of the expensive adventure kit.
So for sure, a bunch of Arcteryx clad status symbol signaling happening down at the local brewery, but don’t judge too harshly. Some of us just came down from the mountains long enough to have a pint.
Fair point, but I think I could separate those out pretty easily ;)
