Edit: What do you judge them for?
Back the Blue
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.
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.
Seems like you’d be a fan of Macklemore.
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.
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.
Lifted trucks are sus, especially if they have balls hanging on the back.
Grunt style shirt
Always on a short or fat dude
I dunno why but short and fat (and consequentially insecure ) men love those shirts
What is a “grunt style shirt”?
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.
That’s true.
I have stories that I tell people I don’t know well, and there are stories that only my sister, wife, and best friend have heard, and only once I had enough to drink.
The guys who didn’t see shit are the ones who brag about having to kill a child suicide bomber or other shit they’ve made up. I wasn’t in, but I’ve worked with and otherwise known plenty. The braggarts are full of shit.
Being Religious.
Truth. I’m sorry that I’m only allowed one up-vote.
Had a guy profess his love for crypto on the last flight sitting behind me. He kept rambling about staying connected on discord and getting a heads up before bagholders. If you talk about investment strategies in public spaces and think crypto is hot and you still fly coach then fuck you and curse your family line back to the stone ages.
Basically the only thing that really bothers me is a lack of epistemological humility, people pretending their views are objectively true.
T-shirts with wolves.
I judge them to be AWESOME
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.
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.
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.
Cigarettes
It’s ok, I judge myself too. Continue to judge and boo us, it may give some the extra push to finally quit
I used to smoke, so I’m extra judgey.
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 ;)
