What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?
-
Being Religious.
Truth. I'm sorry that I'm only allowed one up-vote.

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!"

"Oh awesome, nice Tool shirt. What's your favorite track?"
Oh, I've never listened to them

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.

Hats. Fucking hat people think they are better than me just because they cover their head?!
I don’t think I’m better than you for wearing a hat, I’m bald and a sunburn on your scalp is a mother fucker, I think I’m better than you for other reasons entirely.

The paradox of tolerance relies on a lot of assumptions that don't really work in reality. We don't tend to see more open societies have more intolerance, quite the opposite. Part of the problem is that "the intolerant" is not a single group, but many groups that hate each other. And those who are intolerant towards the intolerant are themselves part of the intolerant.
For a less-political example, let's imagine hypothetically that Lemmy is very pro-linux. However, some people who absolutely hate linux show up and start posting anti-linux memes. These people get insulted, downvoted, and eventually banned by others on Lemmy, because they're showing intolerance towards linux.
But then what happens to those anti-linux people? They go off and created their own forums, and talk about how intolerant lemmy is to people who don't use linux. So whenever a linux user shows up on those forums, they're inevitably banned. The result of intolerance of the intolerant is that they remain intolerant, and now the tolerant have become hard to distinguish from them, and there's no way for pro-linux forces to be part of the conversation anti-linux people are having - allowing them to create their own culty filter bubble.
Now imagine an alternative - instead of banning the anti-linux people, pro-linux lemmy users decide to engage with them and correct misconceptions about linux. After all, linux, like many other topics, can get kind of complicated, and linux users need to remember that not everyone has the same background knowledge that they do about the topic. Sure, some linux haters would be persistent, but maybe others would be like "hey, these linux folks are actually kind of cool and helpful, I want to be more like them." That may sound idealistic, but I think that's a lot closer to what we see in reality - intolerance thrives in closed off spaces, and dies in open ones.
You’re missing the point entirely, it’s not a paradox, nor is it so philosophical, it’s a very basic social contract. If you offer tolerance then you receive tolerance, if you offer intolerance then you are owed nothing but intolerance. It’s simply reciprocity.

I am convinced most people aren't religious, or at least agnostic. If they truly were they'd not be living like they are and wouldn't give a shit about anything but their holy book. I call it being alibi-religious.
I used to wear a cross every day, and i believed... until i realized everyone else around me were all hypocrites for one reason or another and no one actually practiced what they preached.

The lawnmower also serves a useful function.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I mean, a motorcycle is transportation. It can transport maybe you and one passenger (and some light cargo, I know), but it's more practical in a car-centric service economy than walking everywhere. They're also pretty fuel efficient for being so light, and fairly dangerous if people don't notice your tiny ass (which is an advantage of all the noise)
I have literally zero negative or positive opinions about Harleys as motorcycles, I don't own one or know anyone who does, I don't even have a motorcycle license so feel free to correct me if you have a differing opinion -- to me, they just are what some people enjoy. It's the... quality of the people who tend to enjoy them that gives me the ick. Like a bar that didn't quite fully kick the Nazis out. I know they aren't all Nazis, but there are still a disturbing number of Nazis. Or at the very least, American neo-nazis are not frequently depicted riding crotch rockets from overseas.

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)

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.
I haven't seen "we the people have had enough" before, but I feel it's pretty close to being co-opted by the left.

Beats headphones.
"Oh yeah those look cool. Did you want something that sounds good though?"
I asked for Beats back when i was a teen for my birthday. They were fairly new still and everyone thought it was so cool i had a pair. Eventually they got old and I replaced them with Audiotechnica headphones that were a fraction of the price and holy shit I never knew how poor the sound quality of Beats were before that moment lol.

I threw away my Adidas hat immediately because it was red. Couldn't even bare people assuming what it said, fuck that side.

I saw it as a sticker on a truck, old English font for "we the people" and then handwritten font underneath saying "have had enough". Only saw one, instant cringe.

T-shirts with wolves.

Grunt style shirt
Always on a short or fat dude
I dunno why but short and fat (and consequentially insecure ) men love those shirts

The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I've noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.

Seems like you'd be a fan of Macklemore.

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.
