What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

I don't know what they look like over there, but in the US, Dodge Rams are often oversized trucks. The mirrors stick out like they're trying to high five every vehicle (though useful if you're towing.) They're often lifted, dually (double back tires) with oversized exhaust. Drivers sometimes like to "roll coal" which means to spew thick black diesel exhaust everywhere. It's as obnoxious as it sounds. Is that what you're seeing there?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Pretty much that, except 'rolling coal' would get them a massive fine over here. Edit: not a fine initially, but they'll tell you to fix it, but it is finable ($495 and 2 demerit points)

Here's a great video by Fort Nine that explains how and why the shape and size of these trucks are a threat to everyone outside the vehicle.
wrote last edited by [email protected]This applies to vans just as well though. This Ford Transit is little over a meter longer than a Toyota Hilux so these pictures are roughly to scale.

For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.
What, just because they're making it clear it's not "protect & serve", but instead "us vs. them"?
It's The Coward's Swastika ". Pretty much anyone who flies it is racist and a bootlicker. They're just afraid to fly the Nazi or Confederate flag...

I feel you— but also what does this declaration of hate garner us? Is it anything beyond the base tribalistic fervor: “we are strong fear us”. It makes sense if we were in person— but I fear this is how we create silos.
If there are conservatives here, and we continually assault them directly then perhaps they’ll leave— and while personally I may feel that would make the discourse more favorable, they do not disappear; they leave and find a more homogeneous pasture. We shouldn’t isolate ourselves lest we contribute to make debate a toxic no man’s land.

You probably could get fined for it over here, but that's going to vary by each county within each state. I don't live in California, but they're known for much stricter emissions regulations for instance. Where I live, they don't even test or regulate emissions.

Really really long fake nails. Less judgement and more confusion I suppose. How do you do normal everyday activities?? I'm baffled
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

Edit: What do you judge them for?
The brand “hood rich”
Every scum bag I’ve known drapes themselves in hood rich.

One of those big trucks but they are immaculate, clean, scuff free. So not used for they are meant for: working.
Now they are just taking up space and being dangerous to the public just to try and help prop up someone's ego.
We have a few of those here in the Netherlands and it's so ridiculous it's almost sad. These big American trucks really aren't fit for Dutch roads. They're too large for the roads, they don't fit in any parking lot, and they look ridiculous next to any normal car. I could sort of understand that a farmer would have them, but even then it can't be that useful because it must be a hassle any time the truck needs to pass through a city or village.

Yeah I should have said: I'm from the Netherlands as well. And my gripes are only valid here I think. The roads here are NOT made for these monster sized units. Parking one of them means you are half way parked on the curb, meaning pedestrians and wheel chairs can no longer pass.
I've seen cases where these "parked units" block the flow of traffic and even trams!! #useless

Do you judge people driving clean, scuff free vans as well or only truck drivers?
I use my truck for work but other than having a roof rack you probably wouldn't be able to tell it's a work truck from the outside. When it gets dirty, I wash it, and when it gets dents or scratches I fix them. I don't want it to look like a beater.
Yeah Sorry, I should have said I'm not American. I'm Dutch. I've been to the USA and these things "fit" better in a car-centric society. At least there is room.
But even there I still question it's usefulness, you cannot see right in front of you. You'd miss wheelchairs, children, etc. And van's can usually carry more the the flatbed of a truck.

I'm not American either - I'm from Finland. I’ve been to the Netherlands, and I can’t quite imagine owning a truck there either.
However, your criticism was about clean, scuff-free trucks broadly. If you had said that you judge people for owning a truck when they have no practical need for one, I wouldn’t have any issue with that. But that’s not what you said.
I don’t own one of those gigantic American trucks, but a mid-size one - think Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara, or Isuzu D-Max. The external dimensions and hood height on those are comparable to similarly sized work vans. So when someone needs a vehicle capable of hauling cargo, it’s basically a choice between a truck and a van - and there’s not much difference between the two in terms of pedestrian safety.
I’d even argue a truck might be safer, because you generally have better all-around visibility. Vans tend to have very limited rear visibility due to the enclosed cargo area. You could argue that a van is more convenient for hauling certain types of cargo, but that’s a separate discussion about practicality - not safety.

I would never wear a dress, but I would refuse to wear pants!

Well I agree. My first reaction was a bit tongue-in-cheek. On purpose to conjure a very specific image; A person owning a huge monster truck without the intention of using it for it's intended purpose but for propping up one's ego.
A Toyoto Hilux is not something I would consider. More along the lines of: https://www.hotcars.com/the-sickest-lifted-trucks-weve-seen-in-2020/
Or these:
p.s. Vans have camera's these days, allowing you to even see the ground underneath your fender. So even better then you could ever get with just your mirror's. -
Anything clearly expensive = fucking idiot
I must say this seems a bit shallow...
There is a saying in my country - I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff.
This means that buying cheap stuff, which usually has poor quality, means you need to pay more to either buy new cheap stuff when it breaks or pay for repairs or maintenance. An expensive item would probably pay itself off and be cheaper in the long term simply due to better quality.

Crosses.
99% chance it’s performative.
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 try not to judge people for what they're wearing or carrying, but sometimes it's difficult.
Just today, I saw a guy in all black, sunglasses, black cap, etc, standing waving a Don't Tread on Me flag.
Beside a Pride parade.
In Edinburgh, Scotland.
WTAF?
"Don't tread on me because it's really hot and I'm all sweaty in this getup - you could slip on the grease and hurt yourself."

Does a shirt worn upside down as shorts count as pants? A long sleeve?
I seriously thought about this and in my opinion, no. With it upside down, the head opening would be right at your privates making them more like pantalettes (old timey open-crotch underware).

You see some fantastic outfits in Edinburgh. I think it's the inability of the locals to accept that sometimes it's hot. They don't really get the idea.
The best I ever saw was someone wearing shorts, white trainers, and a black bomber jacket. Very much giving off a vibe "it's bloody hot outside but I only own the one coat, so I'm wearing it"
wrote last edited by [email protected]I mean, it was just this one guy (and even he was wearing black cargo shorts) - most people were fully summered up in their attires!
Too much so, im fact, since it started pouring down at one point!

Edit: What do you judge them for?
This is a german thing, but "Camp David" shirts are the first thing that come to mind. There is a good possibility the person wearing it is the most dense and arrogant person you'll ever meet.
Könnt ihr doch sicher bestätigen Germanbros, oder?
